Azteca Market

About

Carolina was born and raised in Guatemala City, Guatemala. For the first 20 years of her life, she was surrounded by the culture and traditions of her family and ancestors. She would be in an abundance of hot meals like homemade pupusas, pollo en crema, pepian, and of course, handmade tortillas. Carolina has been in Atascadero for half her life and since she set foot here, she has dreamt of bringing her mayan culture to the Central Coast. Her children were born and raised here and studied locally, and were then passed down the traditions and culture of Carolina. About 10 years ago, Carolina married Gabriel who is from Chiapas, Mexico. Since Chiapas is on the border to Guatemala, the two shared many cultural similarities but they also combined their cultural differences. Gabriel has dreamt of bringing his Chiapan since his time here in the Central Coast. With the fusions of their two dreams, Azteca Taqueria & Pupuseria was born.
