The Story of Suavecito

Suavecito Birria and Tacos is a collaboration between chefs Emma Villalon and Bulmaro Maldonado along with local restaurateurs Randy Magpantay and Jeremy Cheng. Inspired by the working family meals the group has shared over the years, Suavecito showcases the personal touch and elevated preparations of the comfort foods we love.

 After years of working at various restaurants throughout the bay area, the group officially came together years ago at William Jay Corporate Catering and Winner Winner Chicken in San Mateo. Spending hours together in the kitchen, the group quickly evolved into a working family where Emma and Bulmaro would create the great family meals that are loved by the whole staff. From a simple taco or even a bacon wrapped hotdog, the elevated Mexican flavors have always impressed.

As the pandemic year of 2020 tooks its effects on the Corporate Catering operation, the group was looking for new ways to sustain business and preserve the jobs of their staff. The idea of creating a taqueria with modern and personal touches has always been a dream and now is the chance. Suavecito was born and will opened its doors in February 2021 serving our version of Angus Beef Birria, Tacos, Burritos, and fun snacks such as the MVP Sonora Dog and PizzaBirria.
