YOU’RE INVITED to an extraordinary evening of modern Mexican cuisine with Chef Stephannie Beyers, founder of Eat Chingon and one of San Antonio’s newly-named UNESCO Chef Ambassadors representing our city’s proud designation as a Creative City of Gastronomy.
On Thursday, September 25, 2025 at 7 pm, the iconic Cuba 1918 in San Antonio will host an intimate, one-night-only dinner showcasing Chef Stephannie’s artistry, passion and fearless creativity. With more than 9 years in the culinary industry, Chef Stephannie has earned acclaim for her bold, health-forward approach to Mexican cuisine, blending tradition with innovation while championing sustainability and inclusivity.
Guests will enjoy a multi-course menu that reimagines Mexican classics in ways you’ve never experienced before—from a Hoja Santa Tamal with hibiscus-habanero sauce, to a playful Deconstructed Chile en Nogada, to her signature Recado Negro Rabbit infused with the smoky flavors of Yucatán. The evening culminates in a decadent Double Chocolate Tart with mezcal caramel and chile salt.
This carefully curated dinner not only celebrates Mexican gastronomy at its finest but also reflects Chef Stephannie’s mission: to prove that food can be innovative, healthy, deeply rooted in tradition and a powerful connector of community. Seating is limited for this exclusive pop-up experience, and tickets always sell fast, so get in early!
BEVERAGE NOTE: Menu does not include drinks but drink options will be available for purchase the night of the event. Cuba 1918 will even have cocktail set ups for guests to BYOB (as the restaurant does not currently have a liquor license).
