It all began in Abuela Mayté’s kitchen — the heart of our family. The radio was always on, someone was telling a story, and the air smelled of sweet guava and crispy plantains. Abuela never followed recipes; she cooked with instinct, love, and the belief that food was meant to be shared.
When we moved to Miami in 2002, we carried more than just suitcases. We brought her flavors, her warmth, and her open-door way of welcoming everyone to the table.
That’s why Mayté snacks are more than just something to eat. They’re a little piece of home — savory and sweet moments inspired by our roots, meant to connect people wherever they are. From our kitchen to yours, every bite is an invitation to gather, share, and savor the flavors that bring us together.

The heart of our family was Abuela Mayté’s kitchen — full of music, sizzling plantains, and the smell of fresh guava. Here, we learned that food wasn’t just about eating — it was about sharing life.
We grew up in a close-knit neighborhood where everyone had a seat at the table. Laughter, stories, and the passing of plates shaped who we are.

Moving to Miami meant starting over. We found comfort in the flavors we brought with us, a reminder of home that helped us make new friends and build community.
What began as snacks for family gatherings quickly became something friends kept asking for. Soon, we were making more plantain chips than we ever imagined.

We believe a great snack should do more than taste good — it should bring people together, spark conversation, and turn moments into memories.
From Miami kitchens to store shelves across the country, Mayté now shares its flavors with families everywhere, introducing new people to the tastes we grew up with.

Mayté is still that kitchen where you’re welcome to drop in, grab a plate, and stay a while. The door’s open, always.
