Meet the Founders: Adriana & Paola – The Heart Behind Santo Pecado

At Santo Pecado, everything we do is rooted in love—love for our culture, for good food, and for the people we serve. And like all good things, it started with a story… and two women who dreamed of doing things differently.

We’re Adriana and Paola—co-founders of Santo Pecado Mexican Catering.

What started as a shared love for cooking, community, and storytelling has grown into a full-on, flavor-filled mission to bring people together through authentic Mexican food. And we do it with heart, every single time.

Paola - Chef. Entrepreneur. Wellness coach.
After years working as a chef and career counselor, I followed my passion for food back into the kitchen—this time, on my own terms. I wanted to build something that celebrated real Mexican flavors, respected tradition, and created space for women to shine. Santo Pecado is the business I wish existed when I was starting out. And today, I get to lead it with a heart full of pride (and hands full of tortillas).

Adriana - Psychologist. Photographer. Social justice advocate.
I’ve always believed that food is more than food—it’s memory, identity, and connection. My work has always centered around supporting others, especially women and families navigating difficult moments. At Santo Pecado, I bring that same passion into everything from our creative direction to the way we tell our story. I want people to feel held when they eat our food. I want them to feel home.

Together, we’ve built Santo Pecado not just as a business, but as a reflection of our values:
✨ Culture matters
✨ Women belong at the center
✨ Food should be joyful, beautiful, and made with care

We’re so grateful for everyone who has supported us on this journey—and if you’re just getting to know us, bienvenid@. We’re so happy you’re here.

Con cariño,
Adriana & Paola
