Taste of the Motherland by Chef Jo
Global flavors, soulful cooking, and experiences that connect people through food.

Food is memory, culture, and connection. Chef Jo brings these elements together in every meal — blending his Nigerian roots with global influences to create food that feels as good as it tastes.
Whether it’s a private rooftop dinner, a lively celebration, or a peaceful retreat, his dishes are prepared with heart, creativity, and remembrance.
🌍 African Pop-Up Dinners
Experience the warmth and flavor of West Africa.
Our African Pop-Up Dinners are intimate evenings where traditional Nigerian recipes meet breathtaking settings — like the rooftop of Casa del Cenote Negro, overlooking the cenote and lagoon.
Enjoy dishes like:
Egusi Soup made with toasted pumpkin seeds
Hearty Vegetable Soup with local greens
FuFu from unripe plantain
Jollof Rice
Each pop-up is a celebration of culture, storytelling, and community — a chance to share a meal and a moment of connection.
