With the intention of playing with how we perceive the passage of time, we decided to repeat the exercise we did in Bloodlust (our previous project): inviting builders from Coatepec, Veracruz, Jaime Zuverza, and creating a surreal piano bar, inviting local artists and designers to complete the experience.

The truth is that at the beginning we didn't have everything figured out –money, structure, time– but we stopped waiting for ideal conditions and started making La Matadora work with what we did have: perseverance.

What we enjoy most is the moment of experimentation. A large part of the team is involved at some point in the creation of a seasonal beverage. Playing with new flavors, textures, and ideas is an essential part of our identity.

Chida was born from a vision that brings together design, nature, respect for everyone, and Mexican tradition. It began as a family business selling nieves de garrafa , along with a desire to help decentralize specialty coffee shops in the city.

No matter what time of day it is, when you enter this space you lose track of time because of how cozy it feels. It’s a concept not everyone has; you find creative and unique details in every corner.

From the very beginning, the intention was to create a community within a space that felt warm and welcoming. The idea was not simply to open a café, but to create a place where people could slow down, have unhurried conversations, and feel accompanied.
