La Taza Tapas
By blending the tremendous
culinary traditions of Cuba &
Latin America with the Andalucian spirit of the Tapa, La Taza
invites you to try a different spin on an old favorite, and to also
experiment with a new flavor for your palette.
Have a Sangria, or maybe a Port. Join the Rhumba line... learn a
belly dance move... spill Mojo all over your Plantains... Relax...
and simply... Enjoy!
La Taza de Café’s founding ethic rests within the concept of
“Origenes”. “Orígenes” or Origins in English, implies the
creation of something that grows, expands, and endeavors toward
future and permanence. In 1940’s Cuba, the literary and artistic
group, “Origenes”, sought to capture in its renderings the
expression of what it was to be Cubano, and in a greater sense
“Latino” – the peoples and races of Central and South America
and the Caribbean. This is meant as a fully humanizing endeavor,
it is to say: We are happy, unconstrained, extroverted; We like to
play, socialize and create, but at the same time we have a
profound and deep rooted ethical tradition based on love for
justice, accountability and solidarity. Thought and action are
grounded in a sense of service and social responsibility.
Food, like many other facets of Latin American culture, reflects a
vigor for life at its richest and a love of sociability, continuing a
tradition of warmth and hospitality. La Taza de Café embraces
this concept of community; the organic provision of product and
service that tantalizingly fills a gap commercially, culturally, and
socially; at the same time providing a space in which business
people can find a “shot” of charm, solace or inspiration after
their busy work day. While, of course, providing the most
uniquely flavorful, and a savory menu in the likes of which there
is a large demand and an unfound niche within the wholly
comparable Cuba and Latin America we call Oakland.
