Jennifer Teutli Alarcon
& the inspiration for Mexican Spice

Born and raised in Mexico City, and now a happy resident of Chatham NJ for the last 10 years, I have searched for what I would call authentic and delicious Mexican food. Disappointed with my local findings, I decided to start my own little business catering to my friends and neighbors.

In a matter of 3 years I went from making Salsa Verde in my kitchen, to participating in the local Farmers Markets and catering countless events and parties, to now opening brick and mortar locations where we offer family-style meals to go, as well as highly specialized catering services which are sure to surprise and delight. 

I am passionate about everything Mexico, from the traditional food, to decor, and especially the culture and the traditions, and I love that I am now able to share this passion with my community.
