Cooking as a path to entrepreneurship in Monterrey

Monterrey is famous for its carne asada, cabrito, and northern culinary traditions. But beyond restaurants, there is a growing trend: homemade food businesses.
Starting from your kitchen in Monterrey is not only possible, it’s an accessible way to generate income and share your sazón with customers looking for authenticity.

With platforms like Homlunch, you can now open your table to locals and tourists interested in real home dining experiences.

 

Why Monterrey is an ideal place to start

  • Food culture: Family gatherings and carne asadas are part of Monterrey’s identity.
