What a mad week. And it’s not even over yet.

Sunday we were pouring micheladas for Día de Mu***os. By Tuesday, we were at our final workshop. Wednesday, we were pitching Garnacha as finalists in the Food & Drink category of the .Thursday was my birthday (because why not throw that into the mix?). And today, Friday, we were on with talking about putting salsa on absolutely everything.

And now we’re heading into a weekend celebrating Día de Mu***os AND bringing Garnacha to

Somewhere in between all of that, there’s production, orders, emails, a mountain of washing up and the small matter of actually running a business.

I think this sums up entrepreneurship pretty well. One day you’re making micheladas, the next you’re pitching your business, and somewhere along the way you’re trying to remember if you’ve eaten lunch.

Exhausting? Absolutely. Would we change it? Not a chance.

This is life at Garnacha. A little chaotic, very Mexican, and never boring. 🌶️

Homemade Clamato, sticky chamoy rims, pan de mu**to and a lot of dancing. Not a bad way to spend Día de Mu***os in Dublin.

We took our micheladas to Button Factory , made with our own homemade Clamato and chamoy.

Fondita Mestiza brought the pan de mu**to and hot chocolate, the cumbias had us dancing, and of course, nobody escaped Payaso de Rodeo.

And the catrinas and catrines! The outfits, the makeup, the attention to detail. Everyone looked incredible.

Celebrating these traditions so far from Mexico, with familiar music, food and people who understand what this day means, made the night even more special.

Qué bonita noche para recordar a los que ya no están. 💜

Día de Mu***os is one of the traditions that says so much about how we understand death in Mexico.

Across the 1st and 2nd of November, we build ofrendas to honour the people who are no longer with us. We bring out their photographs, light candles, place cempasúchil around them, and add the food and drinks they loved.

It is not about pretending death is not there. It is about making space for memory, for stories, for the people who shaped us and are still very much part of who we are.

For those two days, the distance between the living and the dead feels a little smaller.

And for us, sharing traditions like this here in Ireland is part of what Garnacha is about too. Food is one bridge between Mexico and Ireland, but so are the stories, rituals and ways of seeing the world that come with it.

Feliz Día de Mu***os. 🕯️🌼

A little piece of Mexico in Dublin, for a cause very close to our hearts. 💜

Last Friday, we came together Third Space cafe, smithfield in Smithfield for a special Pozole Night, raising funds for Latina Women Against Violence, an organisation supporting Latina women here in Ireland.

There were sopes, big bowls of pozole, plenty of salsa, stories and conversations. The kind of food we grew up sharing in Mexico, now bringing people together on the other side of the world.

When we started Garnacha, we wanted to share our love for Mexican food. But we’ve always wanted it to mean more than selling jars of salsa. We want to be part of the Latin American community here in Ireland, celebrate our culture and contribute where we can.

Having the opportunity to support such an important cause through something we love doing was incredibly special.

To everyone who came, donated, helped, cooked, listened and made this night possible, gracias de corazón.

And a special thank you to Third Space and Latina Women Against Violence for making it happen.

More nights like this, por favor. ❤️

For us, food has always been the glue.

It connects places, memories, cultures and people.

Garnacha is our way of building a bridge between Mexico and Ireland through food.

Sharing the flavours Andrea grew up with, in the place we now call home.

Some very good news from Garnacha.

We’ve been shortlisted in the Food & Drink category at the National Startup Awards 2026.

Four years ago, Garnacha was still just an idea between the two of us.

We wanted to build a bridge between Mexico and Ireland through food.

Because food is more than something we eat. It is the glue around families and communities. It carries memories, brings people to the same table and, just as importantly, gives us a ridiculous amount of pleasure.

For us, Garnacha is also a way of paying homage to Mexico and the food culture Andrea grew up with.

We started with salsa because it shows exactly how much possibility can live in one jar.

Spoon it over eggs. Stir it through beans. Put it on burgers, tacos, roast vegetables, sandwiches or whatever slightly boring dinner needs saving.

We’re on a mission to change the idea that salsa just belongs beside a bowl of nachos.

This Friday’s Mexican dinner Third Space cafe, smithfield is about much more than what is on the plate.

We’re raising support for Latina Women Against Violence, a volunteer-led organisation created by and for Latin American women living in Ireland.

Their work includes preventing and raising awareness of gender-based violence, promoting women’s rights, creating support networks for migrant women and developing spaces where women can meet, share experiences and access information.

Through initiatives such as Ropero Latina and Emprende Latina, they also create opportunities for connection, knowledge-sharing and greater independence.

What struck us most when they told us about their work was how they described Latina Women Against Violence : not simply as an organisation, but as a community built collectively.

That feels very fitting for a dinner too.

On Friday 23 October, we’ll gather around one table at Third Space in Smithfield for a three-course Mexican meal, and at the end of the evening guests will have the opportunity to make a donation in support of LWAV.

Food brings people together. We hope this one can help strengthen a community that is already doing exactly that.

To book, email [email protected].
