Founder/Owner
Mateo's Pot's founder and owner Simona Barcelo started off by cooking small and private dinners which soon grew into larger dinner parties and cooking events. The passion began as a child cooking in the kitchen with her father "Mateo". Sharing that love for food, learning and coming up with their own traditional recipes. Mateo having Rheumatoid arthritis and carpal tunnel, she created a signature agave and other forms to help medicate her father and help him be able to do his day to day duties. Since then she vowed to always create an educated experience for those of all ages(21+) to come and not only enjoy this beautiful plant but learn the medicinal benefits. Each year she added on a new way to educate our community with a twist of fun while doing it such as "Puff & Paints" she began in 2017. Not to long after she began vendor markets, pairings, panels, seminars and more were added to the list of activities to join in as you learn and interact with other like minded people. Collaborating and joining teams with so many great enthusiasts, growers, business owners, bakers, chefs, vendors, artist, promoters, DJs, models, photographers and the list goes on. We come together as a community to learn, educate, network, uplift and nurture each other. She has so much more in store for you!
