WE ARE FAMILIA

Our family revolves around love, appreciation for good things, respect for tradition and creating a legacy for the next generation. The matriarch of the familia, Roxy (aka Mama Roxy) is a strong and proud Latina with a big heart, she has high standards + values that filter through every part of the business model. As a little girl, she was exposed to the kitchen where she learnt to cook with her paternal grandmother. She recalls the smells, the flavours and mostly the feeling she got when cooking for others. Coming to Australia was her new beginning, she learnt English, dove into her culinary career, working in restaurants & commercial kitchens, Crown Casino banqueting and finally her own kitchen at La Onda Latin Mex, serving a fiesta for your tastebuds on a plate.

Our family is inspired to create something different, unique + rewarding... we have tuned in to what we can offer the business + we have committed to bringing you the best of Latin culture with a twist of contemporary feel. We chose Mornington Peninsula as our location this adventure as it has a good vibe, with the beach setting reminding us of our Latin American landscape, fresh produce, great wine + happiest people. La Onda means the the vibe, the frequency, the wave....so it's very fitting!

La Onda Latin Mex is coming into it's 7th year (opened in 2018) + we're excited to continue our adventure. As a small business with a big heart, we are able to dance to the beat with our extended familia.

Gracias!
