About Artesano Kitchen

---

At Artesano Kitchen, we believe that every empanada and pastry we make is an expression of art and purpose. We truly believe that what we eat matters! 

That is why everything we create is driven by passion—not by the pursuit of easy money.

Our passion lives in offering food made with the highest quality, thoughtful detail, excellence, and above all, heart. Every flavor begins there.

For us, being artisans means creating hand in hand with inspiration itself—crafting something simple, yet full of life, joy, and love. That essence is present in every single bite.

We do not follow just one tradition. Instead, we explore the richness of international cuisine. As a family-run business, every journey we take together becomes part of our story. With each trip we make as a family, we discover the beauty, refinement, and soul of the cultures and countries we visit. These experiences inspire us to create a unique fusion, thoughtfully designed for curious and refined palates.

More than empanadas and pastries, we create experiences—ones that celebrate the art of savoring, feeling, and sharing something truly delicious, made with passion.

At the heart of Artesano is Mey — a woman of deep passion, creativity, and an eye for detail. Through her love for life, food, and the art of good eating, she finds joy in crafting flavors that tell a story. 

Artesano Kitchen  operates from The Factory, a shared kitchen in Santa Barbara that has become our creative home. It’s a space that nurtures chefs and dreamers alike — a place where collaboration, passion, and community come together. From there, our empanadas are lovingly crafted and sent out to serve at our caterings and special events, bringing a taste of our heart to every table.

✨ Artesano does not have a physical storefront — we craft everything by pre-order, made with intention and care for every occasion.
