Atlanta · Mexican catering since 2010
Taco bars, taquizas and full buffets for weddings, corporate events and family celebrations across metro Atlanta. Every dish is made fresh on-site by Chef Arturo Hernández and his team.
Cocina de Arte · “Kitchen of Art”
Cocina de Arte was born in 2010 from a simple idea: the best Mexican food is made in front of you, with fresh ingredients, by people who love what they do. Founded by Chef Arturo Hernández of Guadalajara, Jalisco, we bring that spirit to every taco bar, buffet and live cooking station we set up.
From an intimate backyard gathering to a wedding with hundreds of guests, you get the same thing every time: traditional recipes, premium ingredients, warm professional service and a table your guests will talk about long after the last taco.
What we do
Five services that combine into one seamless experience. Choose one or let us build the whole evening.
A culinary performance your guests will remember
Our signature service brings the energy of a professional kitchen to your event. Chefs cook each taco fresh on-site and serve it at its peak, with the aroma and interaction that make a taquiza unforgettable.
