The chef
Meet Chef Mario
Mario Benavidez built Tacos Mina on a simple code: respect the tortilla, take your time with the smoke, and never let anyone leave hungry. An Army veteran and he still runs the comal at every event and hand-checks every tray before it goes out.
From backyard birthdays to corporate courtyards, his crew brings the same family standard: fresh masa, a hot comal, and a warm welcome.
