Our
STORY
After culinary school, Aaron and his fiancee, Leida, were inspired to start their own food business. They created MexiQ. They felt it was a perfect blend of their two cultures and experiences, growing up in East Oakland.
Where they still live now.
''We feel that MexiQ represents our cultures, our experiences, our friends and our family. MexiQ is authentic as the cultures that brought us together."
-Aaron & Leida-
MEXIQ
MexiQ is a one-of-a-kind fusion. It combines the BBQ taste of smoked meats and traditional Mexican dishes.
All of our meats are hand-smoked for hours with hickory and apple wood. Then infused with authentic
Mexican flavors.
We define MexiQ as a blend of cultures rooted deep in East Oakland!l
