📍🇨🇴 | An airbnb experience afternoon at Mercado Alameda tasting fruits and enjoying the ambience. 

I left a lot out but sone highlights: 
• Champús, a traditional drink made with corn, pineapple, other fruits and sweetened with panela—I definitely want to learn how to make this

• Maracuyá or passion fruit—a favorite of mine in the family of passifloras (fruits that come from various passion vines and flowers) that I now realize I frequently confuse for some of its cousins that look very similar but have their own unique taste.

• Pitaya / Dragon fruit—I thought I didn't like it but now I realize I just never had a good one. The ones in the US are trash also my friend tells me they're $7 USD each at her local store. Lol, NO. 

• Chontoduro (peach palm fruit)—tastes like a raw sweet potato or kobocha squash. As if I need any additional help 😂, an aphrodisiac usually eaten with honey and salt. Didn't like it, didn't dislike it. Glad I tried it. 2025-08-06 19:45:41 .. 52 -78% 2 -91%

📍Cali 🇨🇴 | Solo yolo! Dinner last night by myself. I made a new afro lady chef friend and the food was deli! I can't remember all the names of the dishes but the agridulce salmon with purée de papa was delicious but the smothered plantain and shrimp was what I kept going back for after I was already full.

🇿🇦 🇨🇦 🇧🇷 collided on my palette today at madibasalvador Thank you so much for inviting me platremenda and to Anderson for the chef's embrace and for sharing some of your story with me. 

It's incredible to get to see how someone rebounded and rebuilt like this after losing EVERYTHING during the pandemic, especially considering there was no small biz financial support like we had in the U.S. at that time. Happy one year anniversary! Cheers to many more.

The food in the video : this was like a stew chicken poutine with veggies except the chicken is first grilled South African style before getting dipped and sauced in a flavorful gravy with fries and mixed vegetables like corn and zucchini.

Blaxicocina on HGTV House Hunters International gracias a Justin and Courtney of o.family.adventures 🖤🫂 

So funny, I'd forgotten that we'd done this. And now finally seeing the episode makes me smile. It's the subtext for me — all this representation of Black Americans choosing life abroad and finding or creating soft places to land and thrive.

What do you want to know? Ask me anything. I'm ready to share what it was like to solo open a restaurant in another country—what I didn't know I didn't know, the joys and hardships, lucky breaks and spectacular fails, celebrity sightings and folks I never need to see again haha! Why I left the country. When or if I'm coming back. There's so much it's hard to know where to begin. So, let's just start.

📍🇧🇷 Pedra do Sal, Rio de Janeiro | I was sitting in the middle of a busy square on a random Friday night, drinking beer and eating chocolate, and 718to overheard me talking with some friends and long story short, he recognized me from his time in CDMX! He came to a free Spaghetti Monday at BLX a couple of years ago and had such wonderful memories to share about how being in that space made him feel and how special that corner of Narvarte was. I was all 🥹🥹🥹 listening to him. 

Thank you, sir for the affirmation and the reminder of how far and wide the story of this place has traveled. 🖤 2025-04-09 04:06:06 📍🇧🇷 .. 283 +22% 25 +16%

Super Bowl Sunday feels like Blaxicocina's birthday so I'm sharing something special to acknowledge the occasion: highlights from the rejuvenating I've been doing in Brasil 🇧🇷 since closing the business, one of the hardest and most beautiful things I've ever been brave enough to do. 

Now, I feel more myself than I have in the last year. And yet, nothing like who I was before: Like Brasil, BLX tested me, connected me with incredible people, and made me feel a sense of fulfilment and pride pursuing my own purpose, not someone else's. 

Life is so different now though. My identity doesn't feel so tangled up in the business I had. I came back to myself but now I'm not sure where I'm going with no job, savings running low (I used it all for BLX), and waiting in limbo to see what's left of international job prospects after the U.S. implodes. 

I've been in a similar situation before and it led to Blaxicocina. 🤲🏾 So, I'm holding onto faith that everything is exactly as it should be. That I'm where I'm supposed to be even in the moments it doesn't feel that way. And in the meantime I'm stretching myself in new and meaningful ways— learning Portuguese, meeting new people, cooking with new ingredients, tasting everything, road tripping, climbing mountains, moving to the music and the rhythm of the ocean, and dreaming of doing a pop-up here if I can find the right collaboration. 🤞🏾

 Something good must be coming. I'm staying poised for big returns. 2025-02-09 21:15:52 Super.. 0 -100% 36 +67%
If Blaxicocina reopens you'll be among the first to know carissamonyce 👌🏾 Thank you for this review.

To reiterate, since people are still just finding out/still asking: BLX closed because our landlord was trifling and because I was burnt tf out. I'm taking a break. Coming home to myself. Figuring out what feels like the right next steps. Forward motion only. People who want to see me win only. 🥂 2025-01-23 03:50:29 If Blaxicocina r.. 362 +56% 27 +25%
Thank you to culinaria_afromexicana for sharing these pictures with me from our discussion about Afromexa and Gullah Geechie culinary culture with chefbjdennis and usembassymex 🖤 It was such an honor to receive everyone—especially everyone new to Blaxicocina. 

That okra and chicken biscuit pot pie was pure LOVE. 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 So many cultures, so many histories and afro futurism in one plate. 

I should have shared these moments sooner but it the end of 2024 was so emotional and I was so exhausted I wasn't even thinking about social media. 📸 Better late than never! 2025-01-17 20:04:06 .. 356 +53% 9 -58%

You can't tell the story of the evolution of the modern Black American experience in Mexico City without talking about Blaxicocina. #facts 

And while the restaurant may be closed now, when the story is told, whether you were there or there in spirit, I just want y'all to remember this:  It started how it ended—through faith, food, and fellowship. 🖤

We're open daily but our last day of service is Sunday, December 1st. What would help us out is if you come and support any day between now and then. Buy food, buy drinks, tip well and please remember to be kind to the staff—it's a bittersweet time for everyone. 🖤
