Chilpayas, a taste of Veracruz in Tampa, FL, draws its inspiration from the wild chili pepper of the same name.

This vibrant establishment offers a unique blend of flavors that pay homage to the lively people and culinary traditions of Veracruz. From fresh seafood dishes to family recipes infused with the signature Chilpaya chili pepper, Chilpayas aims to bring a piece of its beloved land to the diverse community of Tampa Bay.

With a vision to bridge the gap between Tampa and Veracruz, Chilpayas strives to create a culinary experience that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also celebrates the shared heritage and soulful connection between these sister cities. Guests can expect an authentic taste of Veracruz amidst a welcoming atmosphere that reflects the warmth and joy of its origins.
