Second-generation siblings explore their culinary roots with New World-meets-Old World menu.
The groundbreaking Acopio is a sister restaurant to Taqueria Lorena.
That’s when daughter Lorena, the restaurant’s namesake, started putting a second-generation plan into motion with brother Carlos: They would open a modern, evolutionary Mexican restaurant, the sort of place that Lorena said San Jose hadn’t seen before, as a companion property to the family’s remaining taqueria on North 13th Street.
Both trained at the International Culinary Center in Campbell, then headed into top-tier Silicon Valley kitchens, she at Chez TJ and he at Alexander’s by the Sea. The idea attracted friends Marshall Reid , now the executive chef, and David Pagan, curator of the bar program. “Tortillas de Casa; Nixtamalized handmade corn tortillas, frijoles puercos or smashed beans, queso fresco, chilitomate salsa & raw salsa verde,” at Acopio restaurant in San Jose.
