The Market Drop starts here. 🌱

First up: Smoky Collards.

Smoky chile oil, queso fresco, paprika salsa + crisp radish on a hand-pressed corn tortilla.

A little smoky, a little spicy, and exactly what we want to eat as summer turns to fall.

August in DC. We’re having tacos. 🌮

For nearly ten years we said no to chicken. Not because we aren’t flexitarian, we’ve always believed in more vegetables less meat, but because we couldn’t imagine a chicken taco that still put vegetables first.

Then we realized we were asking the wrong question.

Instead of asking, Should Chaia serve chicken? We started asking, Could we create a chicken taco where the vegetables still did the heavy lifting?

That’s when we reached out to Chef Pepe Moncayo, whose thoughtful approach to cooking has long inspired us. Together the conversation wasn’t about making chicken the star, it was about making a taco that still felt unmistakably Chaia.

So we started testing and months later we had something that finally felt like us.

A chicken taco built around vegetables, not the other way around.

It’s one of our greatest pleasures to be moms and to serve all the moms, grandmothers, stepmoms, and caregivers who somehow hold everything together and make it look effortless. Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Chaia! 💕

It’s Climate Week. It’s Earth Day. Everyone’s talking about the future of food, but maybe it’s already here and it looks a lot like this.

A taco filled with asparagus at its peak.
Whipped goat cheese with preserved lemon (because we like things a little extra).
A cherry pepper relish that wakes everything up.

Vegetables, doing the most. As they should.

At Chaia, this has kind of always been the point. Food that feels good, tastes even better, and quietly does right by the planet without asking you to sacrifice anything.

The Asparagus & Spring Garlic taco is back for spring.
Come eat accordingly 🌱

Cherry blossoms, tacos, and a moment of stillness.
Take it in while it lasts. 🌸

Cabbage doesn't get nearly enough credit. But sauté it with cumin, add salsa asada, queso fresco, and a warm tortilla and suddenly it’s the taco we can’t stop eating.

The Sautéed Cabbage Taco is now on the menu. March just feels like a good time to eat something green. 🌮💚
