History

Chef Cosme Aguilar was working at the Café Henri in November 2009 when his brother, Luis Aguilar, pitched the idea of opening their own Mexican restaurant to prepare the dishes they made as kids in the State of Chiapas. Cosme was hesitant at first but soon agreed with his brother. On March 15, 2012, Chef Cosme Aguilar and Luis Aguilar opened Casa Enrique. [6] In September 2014, Casa Enrique was awarded its first Michelin Star, [5] [7] but lost it as of 2023. [8]
