Finding true Puerto Rican flavor in North Texas can feel impossible. That is why Chef Shaby y Su Mai in Denton has become a favorite for families across the Dallas Fort Worth area who miss the taste of home or want to experience it for the first time. Our food is rooted in Su Mai s Puerto Rican heritage and cooked with the same love she learned in her family kitchen.
From slow cooked meats to rice dishes full of flavor our recipes carry the warmth of home style cooking. Every plate is a reminder that comfort food does not have to come from a restaurant chain. It can come from a local Denton kitchen that treats you like family. You can read more about our story and how this journey began on the Meet Your Chefs page.
