From Jalisco clay to your backyard.

Dulce Padilla started in 2012 with one bar and one idea: that Los Angeles would drink cantaritos the Jalisco way. This is the story.

Our story

We started with one bar. We became a tradition.

El Cantarito 44 was born in 2012 with an idea from Dulce Padilla: that Los Angeles would drink cantaritos the Jalisco way, in a clay cup, ice cold, with real juice.

After years of serving weddings, quinceañeras and parties, we bottled the recipe. Today Cantarito Mix and Michelada Mix sell in the US and Mexico, and the mobile bar still shows up at hundreds of parties.
