RANCHO CHEPE

Rancho Chepe was created to honor my family's roots and make a place that felt like home. The restaurant was made with the intention of diving deeper into my family's Costa Rican culture and reflecting the appreciation I have for it. The name "Chepe" comes from my abuelo Jose's nickname, and Rancho Chepe exists as a real spot in the back of his farm where he always hosts our family get-togethers. With this project, I wanted to imagine it as a fully realized restaurant where I could imbue all the fond memories I have spent at his farm and family home.
