We visited and talked with Roberto Enrique Benzecry, partner responsible for the commercial promotion and promotion as well as the institutional relations (private and public) of this successful concept and private investment initiative, which guarantees a pleasant experience inside the Mercado Municipal de Chacao.

Hijole takes the lead as content in this conversation, and it stands out for its originality or unique character: a taqueria with an authentically Mexican menu, not Tex-Mex, that offers traditional alternatives, but with the innovative added value, that its dishes They are gluten free, that is to say the same and genuine flavor, but much healthier.

“With vegan options, in addition to chicken, fish or pork as ingredients, it is really surprising how succulent and well presented the Hijole dishes and products are sold.”

Whether to pick up and take away, order from the office or home, and eat on the spot, it works throughout December as well as the rest of the year, with the exception of the most important and obligatory holidays. Antonio Rignanese is a member of Hijole, mentions Roberto Benzecry.

“A key process in the Hijole kitchen is the nixtamalization of the corn that is applied, an ancestral Mexican procedure, which in turn makes a difference.” This secret or culinary technique is carried out by cooking the corn with water and quicklime, to obtain the nixtamal that, after grinding, gives rise to the nixtamalized dough used to make tortillas and tamales.

Its extensive menu, Aguachile (shrimp cooked with lemon, chirel pepper, purple onion, cucumber and avocado, with artisan tortilla chips) is obvious.

Gustavo Ortega and Andrés Makowski, along with Benzecry, are part of the trio of entrepreneurs and investors who identified this opportunity and decided to make it a reality, including improvements and collaborations for the infrastructure, maintenance and operation of the building, as part of their social responsibility strategy business.

They also work efficiently for door-to-door or pick-and-go

On October 1st, the Nihonshu no Hi or Sake Day was celebrated worldwide. For Japan, this date marks the end of the rice harvest as well as the beginning of the process of making sake, before which in all regions of that country, it is offered to celebrate and wish prosperity to the wineries that make it. Caracas was not left aside and Azotea, in the Municipal Market of Chacao was the epicenter of the celebration, keeping all the natural and prudent biosecurity measures this season.

Sake is an alcoholic drink made mainly from rice and water. Many factors influence the production and classification of sake, but experts or tasters can enter and guide us in the knowledge for the enjoyment of this species of wine, showing us the different varieties of rice, the water used as raw material, the individual techniques of different manufacturers, weather conditions, among others.

The event was organized by the journalist Ángela Oráa and the support of Agua Mineral VISTA, the Tasting was directed by Eglantina Di Mase (@EglanOnTheRocks). It was an initiative of @entrepot.foods, @hijolemexs, @azotea.gastrobar and Roberto Benzecry, which took place on the commercial level and on the roof of the Chacao Market

Entrepôt, with a focus on Asian cuisine, joined forces with the Sonle and Azotea restaurants, joining the celebration of Sake Day, in traditional Japanese custom, with the Gekkeikan and Sho Chiku Bai brands.

We invite you to watch and enjoy this short video coverage:

Strategic alliance with magnificent surroundings and location

In the founding and development of many cities, their market played an important role. A kind of cornerstone, it is a point of citizen meeting and exchanges in everyday life, where of course the culinary or gastronomic has an important space and place.

In the Venezuelan capital, businessmen Gustavo Ortega, Roberto Benzecry and Andrés Makowski decided to bet and add value to this context, in synergy with the authorities of the Municipal Market of Chacao.

Entrepôt, Hijole and Azotea, high-level restaurants, plus another nearby or neighboring establishment and project, called + Pizza, under another administration, have expanded and continue to strengthen the gastronomic offer of the municipality.

Entrepôt (Asian cuisine, with a varied and extensive menu), Hijole (genuine representation of Mexican cuisine) and Azotea (gastrobar and lounge) supported their owners on the maintenance and renovation of some areas of the emblematic municipal building to adapt and optimize the already convenient market facilities.

These restaurants are places of comfortable, pleasant, festive and safe recreation that work by reservation. They are located on the floor or commercial level and the roof; a good part of the supplies necessary for its operation and the kitchens are acquired very fresh in the same municipal market. Likewise, its service offer includes delivery to the home or office of its clients.

A proposal and initiative that the Mayor of Chacao, Gustavo Duque, welcomed with enthusiasm, with the purpose of offering a better quality of life in the municipality. And a relationship between the private and public municipal sectors that the president of the Chacao Market, Caterina Macario, has been able to develop for the benefit of the institution and the community.
