What does "Olé tus huevos" mean?

In Spain, that's what we say when someone gets through life with courage and grit.

And you do that every day.

 

For that, you deserve a proper Spanish tortilla. 

One with plenty of huevos.

How Did This Happen?

Ultramarinos Pepe opened because Vancouver needed a proper Spanish neighborhood Store. 

 

And a Spanish store without a tortilla didn't make much sense. 

 

So, here we are. 

MEET MAMAPACA

Why Tortilla?

In Spain, Tortilla is a gesture of Love. 

It's there at birthdays and celebrations. It's on the table at family lunches. It comes on hikes and beach days. 

 

And it's what someone makes when you've had a bad day and need something to make you feel a bit better. 

 

That's what MamaPaca's tortilla has always been. 

Who Is MamaPaca?

Francisca Fernández, "MamaPaca", was born in 1935 in San Pedro Alcántara, Málaga.

 

She ran a restaurant called El Labrador, a place where people came together over simple, honest food and the kind of cooking that makes you feel at home.

 

People came for many reasons.

 

But mostly, they came for her tortilla.

TASTE THE RECIPE

She’s no longer in the kitchen.

 

But she’s still taking care of you.

 

Her grandson, Antonio Romero, still makes it exactly as she did and has brought it all the way to Vancouver.
