Relieve the burdens of hosting
Once upon a time, in a kitchen filled with the comforting aroma of freshly baked memories, I discovered the profound joy of nourishing both body and soul. My culinary journey began with the tender guidance of my mother and grandmother—the matriarchs who instilled in me the appreciation for tradition, the art of creating flavors that linger on taste buds, and the magic of gathering around a table.
Guided by nurturing hands, I learned the secrets of my ancestral recipes, passed down through generations. From the aroma of freshly made tortillas to the vibrant flavors of our cultural heritage, each dish became a gateway to my roots and a vessel for preserving our traditions.
As a mom, I witnessed the profound impact of these culinary creations on my own family. The shared moments around the table, where laughter and stories flowed freely, became the building blocks of lasting memories. It was through these experiences that I realized the true power of food to shape our lives and create deep connections.
Now, as your forever friend and culinary guide, I invite you to join me on this extraordinary journey. Together, we will craft a dining experience that not only delights your taste buds but also nourishes your soul. With each carefully selected ingredient, every artfully prepared dish, and the genuine love poured into my creations, I aim to bring you a taste of the transformative magic that food holds.

“Marissa helped me organize and put on a bridal shower for my best friend. Marissa was very detailed oriented and thorough; from helping put together the menu to center pieces and photo back drops. Marissa made sure all our questions were answered and our ideas came to life. The day of the event Marissa and her team were professional and timely. The food and drink preparation were immaculate. Everything was labeled and inviting. There was even music to fit the occasion! I look forward to having Marissa organize other events in my life.”
Our ideas came to life

"Great food for a family event! ...We were all from out of town and she worked with us to meet all of our requests. We needed food to meet a variety of diets and we couldn't have too much leftover since we were leaving the next day. The food was delicious! She came ahead to set the food up and also stayed through the first part of the event to keep things replenished so we could all visit and enjoy our event. Marissa was also very prompt with her communication. You can't go wrong using her for your next event! Highly recommend her brisket too!"
You Can't go Wrong!

Cocina Ascensión made our my daughter's celebration of life truly special and memorable. Their heartfelt approach to catering was evident in every dish they served. From the beautifully presented appetizers to the comforting main courses, each bite felt like a warm embrace during a difficult time. Marissa and her team took the time to understand our preferences and created a menu that perfectly captured the essence of my daughter. The food not only nourished our bodies but also touched our souls. We are immensely grateful for their care, attention to detail, and the delicious flavors that brought comfort and joy to our gathering. Thank you, Cocina Ascensión, for making this day a cherished tribute to Maria's life.
