Pre-pandemic you had normalcy in the restaurant business. Pablo
Rojas and his partner Roxanna Mejia were both working in their fields; one
roasting chickens and the other baking breads in local eateries. Then COVID-19
came and everything went sour. They were determined that they would not follow
suit and started going back to their Mexican roots vis-à-vis a culinary tour.Fast forward (not too many months) to the creation of Gastronomy
Underground. Featuring Condesa Brunch Sunday,
Taco Tuesday, Date Night Friday and so much more the
establishment offers free delivery to Central Brooklyn, Downtown, West Brooklyn
and South of Prospect Park, with aims to expand in the near future.
And what makes the duo such culinary experts? They come from different regions in Mexico,
broadening the scope and taste of the Mexican cuisine they create. They want their clients to be able to truly
experience the food culture’s diversity which often operate underground and are
not known widespread. There is such a
scape between “the newly established fine dining scene [and] the unregulated
street stalls.” And in terms of the
actual food the due believe that:
“The dichotomy found in Central Mexican Cuisine and the
Mexican Northern Kitchen is best embodied in our creative team and delivered
right to your home.”
They will also try to combine their Mexican cuisine with
other food cultures, fusing the influence of one with the other in an attempt
to “redefine the cuisine of a conquered nation and explore its conflicts while
also honoring our Pre-hispanic roots and traditions.”
