It all started with a dream and a high school nickname.​

​

Nicknamed after his grandmother, Meanchi, a first-generation American, born and raised in South Tampa, would travel to Peru every summer to visit his family during his childhood. It was there he fell in love with Peruvian food. 

​

The diversity of Peruvian food is unlike any other country due to the combination of its agriculture and melting pot of cultures, including Asian, African, Spanish, and Native American.

​

Meanchi's aims to bring you a portion of Peru's culinary diversity through its famous sandwiches with a modern American twist.
