About Us 
One night, from her golden temple veiled by vines, Hipólita saw a mortal. He was a simple man, yet his laughter carried the strength of a river and his eyes the calm of the sky. She descended from the heavens to win his heart not with power, but with pleasure.

The Myth
In the dawn of time, when gods still walked among fire and jungle, reigned Hipólita, goddess of the Amazon guardian of desire, mystery, and the wild pulse of nature. Her power was feared, her beauty unmatched, and her voice could make the earth tremble. But even a goddess can know loneliness.
She summoned the sweetest fruits of the Caribbean, the fiercest spices of Latin America, the dark cacao of the soul, and the slow-burning fire of rum — like a kiss that lingers. Thus was born the banquet of the gods, a feast meant to awaken every sense and unite heaven and earth at one table.
But the mortal did not yield to her charms. His heart belonged to another woman — a mortal one — and neither the most exquisite feast nor the spells of a goddess could turn his love away. For the first time, Hipólita felt what no goddess ever had: heartbreak. The pain of loving without being loved.
Enclosed in her sorrow, she vowed to turn her emptiness into a gift for humankind. She created a sanctuary where mortals could feel what she once felt — the fire of desire, the sweetness of nostalgia, and the beauty of what cannot be possessed. She named it La Tusa, a temple of flavor, rhythm, and soul where every dish, every sip, and every song is an echo of the love Hipólita could never claim. They say that when rum smells like smoke and the drums throb softly through the night, Hipólita returns not to seek the man who once rejected her, but to offer her eternal banquet to all who wish to connect, to heal, or simply to fill their emptiness with taste, music, and longing. Because in La Tusa, we are all part god, part human and each of us, in our own way, dances with our heartbreak.
