Who is Chef Eloy?
Who would have thought a 50+ year family recipe would turn into such a huge success!
Follow us along as we take you through the years........
Eloy Carrera is the creator of Chef Eloy’s ‘Kickin’ Salsas.
Chef Eloy’s career in the food industry started back in 1968 when he and his late wife, Adela, opened a Latin American Restaurant called "El Tango” in McLean, VA. They later moved the business to the Adams Morgan area of Washington, DC in 1970 and re-named the restaurant
“Carlos Gardel” after the famous Argentine singer.
This is when Chef Eloy's salsa recipes were created.
Sadly, Eloy and Adela decided to leave the restaurant business in 1986, but customers continued to track Eloy down for his salsa! Chef Eloy knew he had a product that would be a hit and started expanding his recipes. In 2003, Chef Eloy began selling at local farmers’ market. That same year, his daughter, Sandra Stickovitch, jumped on board and now 20 years later, Chef Eloy’s salsas have been a staple product at many farmers markets, festivals, specialty stores, and homes in Northern Virginia and is a successful family business.
