Covacha distills over 25 years of culinary expertise from a trio of beloved restaurants—Cafe Frida, El Mitote, and Ella Social—into the fabric of the Upper West Side's newest culinary gem.
Featuring a stellar team including Yolanda Grande and Pedro Palma, both hailing from Cholula, Covacha sets a new standard for dining experiences. Yolanda's meticulous attention to detail and impeccable service elevate every visit, ensuring a welcoming and unforgettable atmosphere. Meanwhile, Pedro's culinary prowess in the kitchen consistently produces exceptional dishes, captivating patrons with each bite and earning Covacha its stellar reputation. Their contributions are invaluable to our success, and we are deeply grateful for their dedication and positive impact every day.
Despite its humble namesake, Covacha transcends the ordinary with a profound dedication to its culinary roots and traditions. Paying homage to the food of western Mexican "Ranchos," particularly inspired by Jalisco, Covacha celebrates the rich heritage of the "Milpa" culture—a pre-colonial agricultural system. Here, authenticity reigns supreme, with a meticulous focus on artisanal processes, premium ingredients sourced from independent producers, and revised interpretations of traditional recipes passed down through generations. Complementing these culinary delights is a thoughtfully curated selection of boutique Mexican spirits and natural wines, adding depth and character to every dining experience.
