Inspired by the shops of 19th century Mexico, Melissa Guerra’s Tienda de Cocina, or kitchen shop, is outfitted with hand-carved wood shelves, handmade tiles, and other folk art objects. Latin American tools and ingredients like molcajetes, hand-blown glassware, and dried chiles are featured here, alongside the kinds of bakeware, cutlery, and kitchen gadgets you might find at any modern cooking store. And for those who can’t make it to the San Antonio, Texas, storefront, there’s also an online shop.
