LOS CHILAKILLERS,
The House of the Killer Chilaquiles in Texas

LOS CHILAKILLERS is a Mexican restaurant concept inspired by a secret family recipe from San Luis Potosí, Mexico, and visits to traditional local fondas. It brings traditional flavors to the table through modern cooking techniques.

Its founder and head chef, Mina Ibáñez, has cooked for Texans for more than 30 years, building her experience from her grandmother’s kitchen to successful restaurant operations.

The brand presents itself as more than a Mexican restaurant or food brand: it is a vibrant community built on tradition, passion and flavor, focused on authentic Mexican cuisine, warm hospitality and memorable culinary experiences.

LOS CHILAKILLERS was founded and developed by visionary and empowered women. Its mission is to create an inclusive and vibrant space where gastronomy, creativity, leadership and community can flourish. Its commitment to cultural authenticity, exceptional customer experiences, diversity and community impact sets the brand apart. Inspired by the vibrant markets of San Luis Potosí and Austin’s distinctive energy, it seeks to take the bold flavor of its chilaquiles to new locations.

Its franchise opportunities are currently focused on Texas, where it aims to expand its community and bring its authentic Mexican cuisine and values to new territories.
