Armando Tam is a local home cook who chose the path of pop-ups to pursue his passion for the intersection of food and culture.

Armando (affectionately known as Tito) is of Chinese and Nicaraguan decent, and he has worked with the God Father of Nuevo Latino Cuisine, Douglas Rodriguez. His cooking will introduce you to the bold and traditional flavors of Latin America; his style is unique and personal, an admixture of his roots, his training, and the inspirations of his mentor.

His point of view of “highlighting all things Latino” stems from his knowledge of music and food which is the perfect combination for a dynamic culinary experience. He has created a series of cooking videos, showcasing his passion of Latino music and food culture to share with his family and friends. His cooking videos, which can be seen at YouTube.com/TitoTam, have a loyal cult following.
