Crudo Cocina Latina: Fresh Latin American Flavors and Creative Culinary Projects

Crudo Cocina Latina is a distinguished culinary organization founded by Maria Yanez and Carlos Socorro, dedicated to exploring and celebrating Latin American gastronomy. The brand’s identity is rooted in the founders’ personal upbringings and a profound love for the communal experience of sharing food. By taking inspiration from traditional Peruvian dishes, such as Ceviche and Tiraditos, Crudo Cocina Latina applies a unique contemporary twist to classic recipes, resulting in a menu that is fresh, bold, and ingredient-focused. Having grown from humble beginnings in food stalls to establishing multiple physical locations in London, Crudo Cocina Latina has expanded its influence through diverse offerings including sit-down dining, events, and catering services. Their approach emphasizes the use of high-quality produce and a curated selection of wines, often showcased through their sister project, Tiny Wine. This synergy between food and wine creates a holistic sensory experience for patrons. The organization also ventures into private dining and tasting events, fostering a sense of community and intimate conversation around the table. With a design language that is tactile and contemporary, Crudo Cocina Latina ensures that every touchpoint—from the textures of their interior spaces to the vibrant colors on the plate—reflects their commitment to Latin American hospitality and modern culinary excellence.
