Our Staff
Citlali Mendieta-Ramos, M.S. - Ower & Catering Director
Growing up with two professional chefs as parents, it was impossible not to love the restaurant industry. Her father Jose Mendieta was a chef for 50 years before retiring in 2008, and her mother Chef Elvira Prado continues to cook at Antigua. Citlali learned to cook from her parents, but the passion for serving in the industry comes from within. While Citlali was in school, she worked for about 10 years with her parents. During those years, Citlali worked all positions in the restaurant to gain a good understanding of the business.
Antigua is Citlali's dream come true. A lot of love, dedication and effort was put into opening the restaurant. Everything from the logo (which is Citlali's hand writing), menu, and decor was inspired by her experiences growing up in the industry. While she enjoys cooking and visiting tables in the dining room, she loves even more to cater special events.
