A Tí's Next Stop on the Journey From Pop-Up to Restaurant

HOKKAIDO SCALLOP TOSTADAS, CHOCO TACOS, AND LA'S BEST SALSA MACHA.

The journey from a pop-up to brick and mortar continues…

We first met the mega talented Angeleno Chef Andrew Ponce in February when he was running his brand new pop up out of a West Adams backyard. He called it a tí, meaning “for you” in Spanish, referencing all the creations he's dreamt of sharing. 

At the time, we invited guests in to experience his modern Mexican concept in-the-making, because we had a hunch that one day “a tí” would be one of our new favorite restaurants... WE WERE RIGHT. 

Last week Chef Andrew had one and half days to open his brick & mortar, a four week trial that will hopefully lead to a permanent revamp of the former Bar Calo and KushiBa in Echo Park. 

If you ask Chef, it’s still very much a work in progress, but he's excited to share the next iteration of it with you. Opening a restaurant is a real journey, and it’s up to us to support our favorite chefs every step of the way.

CHEF ANDREW PONCE
My name is Andrew Ponce, but in the industry I go by Drew. Born and raised in LA, from Culver City to the SGV, cooking has been my passion for 11 years. I’ve honed my skills in renowned kitchens like J&V, Bestia, and Taco Maria, among others. Currently, I’m devoted to nurturing my latest endeavor, a tí. The name stems from the Spanish phrase “para ti,” meaning “for you,” reflecting my dedication to sharing my culinary creations directly with you. Growing up and cooking here, LA has shaped me profoundly, and I aspire to make my city proud. My cuisine embodies the essence of California with a pronounced Mexican influence, while also embracing diverse culinary inspirations. Expect a blend of familiar flavors and innovative, untraditional concepts. Gracias a ti for your support and encouragement!
