TACOS & ANDEAN FLAVORS

Description


WEST PALM BEACH – Chef Clay Carnes, one of Palm Beach County’s hottest chef’s on the scene right now, is excited to announce a brand-new concept sure to take the Palm Beach County dining scene by storm. Cholo Soy Cocina, which is slated to open in Summer 2016, will serve a new kind of Latin street food to the South Florida foodie-faithful. Carnes will be armed with locally grown produce and top–quality meats and ingredients, along with his well known no–nonsense approach to cooking, and will be serving up tantalizing Andean-American selections and tacos crafted from freshly made Florida organic white corn tortillas

“Cholo Soy is our brand’s name. "Cholo" is a slang term in Ecuador for the indigenous people. It also means something “mixed or ghetto.” I came across it written on a wall in a Peruvian restaurant. At that point it hit me “this is perfect” I like the open-ended feel of it as it reflects our cuisine here as "mixed" and indigenous or authentic,” says Carnes.

The French Culinary Institute and ALMA la scoula internazionale di cucina Italiana graduate made his start as Chef De Cuisine at Cucina Dell’ Arte in Palm Beach. From there, he transplanted to Cuenca, Ecuador, leading the team at boutique hotel Mansion Alcazar as their “chef ejecutivo.” Carnes returned to South Florida in 2011 to open Wellington’s award-winning restaurant, The Grille. He then took the reigns as the executive chef of The White Horse Tavern where he feeds the highly discerning, elite equestrian set.

Known for a decidedly eclectic cuisine that reflects his Italian, Mediterranean, Latin and North American exposure, Chef Carnes recently reigned victorious on The Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen. He is routinely invited to both the Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival and the wildly popular Swank Table farm dinners.

“We’re trying to up the ante here in South Florida for tacos. We’re using locally grown, organic and non-GMO corn and handmade masa for our tortillas, which definitely sets us apart,” says Chef Carnes.

Carnes is excited to not only provide Cholo Soy Cocina’s offerings in the restaurant, but also at the West Palm Beach Green Market. The restaurant will also do large to-go style food including catering and ticket-only "puerta cerrada" style dinners once or twice a month with local guest chefs from all around the state. He wants to spread his restaurant’s findings and cuisine with other chefs to make a memorable and affordable experience for all walks of life in the area.

“We’ll work with local farms and purveyors and use a lot of dry grains and ingredients so we won't be limited to seasonality. We will really concentrate on growing our own peppers, herbs, and other vegetables on our patio and roof top garden because we are looking for specific flavors only found in certain regions of the world,” he says.

Surroundings in the 600 square foot restaurant will be intimate, with just a dozen seats including standing room at the counter. Carnes also has some surprises to the space, which will be located at 3715 S. Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach, that will be revealed after opening.

One of the best places to grab artisan-style tacos. Been there 4 times, I try to take new people there all the time because of good the food is! Very friendly staff to boot! Highly highly recommend, my favorite being the short rib and spicy chicken taco !Food: 5/5
This place was amazing. It's just a little hole in the wall place stuck in the antique district of lake worth, but the tacos and empanadas are sooooo good. We got there like 30-45mins before closing, and they still served us with a smile and sent out some of the best tacos and empanadas I've ever had. The only reason I learned about this place was on Drive in, Diners and Dives, but I'm sooo glad I did. KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK! Ps: Do not sleep on the empanadas or the pork belly taco. Kid-friendliness: My 2-year-old was with us, and they made her a yummy quesadilla and fries. She was happy, and so were we!
This place is amazing! Nice little spot with awesome food and the atmosphere is really cool. The tacos are delicious and I love how they give you an extra tortilla wrap the bottled coke is insane also! Service was excellent! Definitely will be back for more keep up the great work!!Recommended dishesSteak Taco, Chips Guac, Short Rib Taco
A real GEM in the heart of Antique Row. Very small, intimate setting. Suggest seating in the patio in back. Be aware, NO table service and open seating. You have to order at the counter and then they bring it out very quickly I might add. But, OH MAN, the food! The tacos were tasty and generous. Had the Chancho, Brisket, Pork Belly and Short Rib tacos. Favorite was the Chancho. Had a wonderful taste. Kind of sweet-savory topped with radish slivers. The street corn was the best I've had. Topped with cheese nope, I don't know what kind and pickled onions, it was tender and muy bueno. Finish with the Churros. What a way to end a great meal. The best I've had outside of Madrid. Served with Dulce De Leche that I could have drunk a cup of. Paired with a cup-a-joe was a delightful finish. After dinner, walk off that full belly along Dixie Hwy's antique shops.
These tacos were delicious!! I had the spicy chicken so good! and chorizo. The man who took our orders was super friendly, too!Food: 5/5
This is now one of my favorite restaurants. The food was delicious and filling. I ordered multiple tacos and was surprised as to how big they were. I'm used to eating tiny overpriced tacos at other restaurants, but these were full of fresh and tasty ingredients. The empanadas were also delicious. I am looking forward to returning and trying more dishes. Service was also amazing. Kid-friendliness: High chair available.
Cute spot. Brisket taco and spicy crispy chicken tacos were really good. Cheeseburger Quesadilla was a little salty but still some of the best tacos in Palm Beach.Food: 5/5
Been there in 2021 and 2023, still the best spot to have tacos in West Palm. Keep up with the good work guys.
Small but very comfortable place, chairs and table outside. Taco is a little bit small, but ordering a combination of taco and nachos it is a good portion. The taco is delicious and very well prepared. Natural juices are very good tooFood: 5/5
Came here twice for two successive meals. Overall fantastic tacos and empanadas. Brisket, fried chicken and octopus+chorizo tacos were 10/10. Pork belly and short rib tacos were good too, flavorful but a bit dry. Bacon Jalapeño popper empanada and chicken empanada also bomb.
