About Us | Chofi Taco

Chofi was born from a dream, a passion for hospitality, and a deep love connection to home. Founder and Chef Kim Martin grew up between New York City and Mexico, where food was always at the center of family, culture, and community. After years of working alongside some of New York City's most talented chefs and hospitality teams, she set out to create something of her own: a place where authentic Mexican food, handmade with care, could be shared with everyone.

The restaurant is named after Kim's first daughter, Sofia, whose nickname is Chofi. More than a restaurant, Chofi has always been an extension of home—a place where guests are welcomed like family and where every dish tells a story. Today, Chofi continues to evolve. Kim remains the heart and creative force behind the restaurant, while her business partner Felix brings vision, business expertise, and a passion for growth. Together, they are committed to building a business that values quality, hospitality, family, and community above all else.
