A Mexican-Japanese fusion restaurant
called Tei Sushi was founded by the
gastronomically intelligent chef,
Alan Alexander Martinez Villafuerte, who I
had the pleasure of getting to know today.
How was Tei Sushi born?
“Tei Sushi was born on Valentine’s Day
about two years ago. I always loved the
kitchen due to me being influenced by my
mom’s restaurant. Following her footsteps
I studied gastronomy but eventually
specialized in Japanese food because
sushi has always been my favorite.”
“I didn’t know much of Japanese cuisine
but with tips from mentors, I invented
flavorful dishes and created my own
menu. My team and I put so much love
into our dishes, it is also thanks to them
that we are the Tei Sushi everyone can
enjoy.”
Villafuerte may sound familiar as its the
shared last name of an inspiration in the
hospitality and food industry, Araceli
Villafuerte Feliciano, owner of Jazmin’s
Restaurant. Araceli’s kitchen gave Alan
the heart to continue with the culinary
tradition.
Tell us about the food you serve
in Tei Sushi!
“We serve Japanese-Mexican style food.
Our menu has many sushi rolls and hot
dishes with sauces and toppings that give
it the Mexican flare we are well loved for.
We also just added 20 new ramen dishes.”
Tell us what makes Tei Sushi
different from the rest?
“We have the best quality ingredients,
delicious signature recipes, wonderful
atmosphere, and excellent service that
makes everyone feel at home.”
What inspired Tei Sushi’s decor?
“I spent hours traveling and researching
Japanese landscapes. My findings
inspired the tree scenery and the bushes
on the ceiling.”
The music is also part of the atmosphere
experience we offer.
What is your seating capacity?
“Thursdays we are busy due to the Art
Walk, so we often reach our comfortable
capacity. On our second anniversary,
February 14th, we opened the new
expansion of our venue that includes
a patio and a terrace fitting up to 200
customers! Perfect timing for a romantic
Valentine’s night. Customers overlooking
the terrace enjoying the magical Pueblito
scenery. It made me happy to see my
customers excited with the new terrace.”
Were there obstacles in
establishing your restaurant?
“Honestly, I haven’t suffered much
difficulty, at least none I couldn’t
overcome. I’ve always been very
responsible, organized, and strict with my
team and I.”
This is thanks to
my mother, a pillar
in my life, who
always gave me
exceptional advice,
and unwaveringly
supported my
brother and I.
What is the house speciallity?
“The ‘Araceli Roll’ is the star of our menu!
We also have the ‘Cristian Roll’ and
‘Alexander Roll’, for my brother and I. Us 3
are on the Menu!”
