Sonoran Hospitality Brands

A Visionary Collaboration
When Aarón Enrique Almada, a seasoned leader with over 17 years of expertise in building high-performing teams and designing impactful strategies, envisioned taking the vibrant flavors of Sonora to the Nation’s Capital, he entrusted theBrandley with the challenge. Together, we set out to shape an entire hospitality experience that would not only resonate with Washington DC's discerning audience but also embody the essence of Sonora’s rich culinary heritage.

Crafting Unique Brand Identities
The journey began with defining the identities for Sonoran Hospitality Brands’ diverse portfolio. We developed distinct visual and brand narratives for each of Aarón’s four ambitious ventures:

• CAJEME Taco Bar: A celebration of Sonoran street food, blending bold flavors with a lively, authentic atmosphere.
• Bacarona ALMADA: A premium spirit that elevates the essence of Sonoran agave with a refined, modern twist.
• MEZKITEH Sonoran Kitchen: An upscale, avant-garde dining concept that brings tradition and innovation together in a new kind of culinary experience.
• Sonoran Hospitality Brands: The overarching brand that ties it all together, bringing a cohesive vision to the unique story of each venture.

Our design process included creating logos that reflect each brand’s essence and designing brand identities that seamlessly integrate Sonora’s cultural richness with contemporary appeal.

Building Digital Presence
Aarón trusted theBrandley to bring his vision to life online, and we delivered. We designed and developed a polished, user-friendly website for Sonoran Hospitality Brands, showcasing the company’s mission, social impact, and expansion plans. The site was crafted to inspire visitors with the story of Sonora’s heritage while providing an elegant gateway to each of the group’s unique brands.

For CAJEME Taco Bar, we built a dynamic, engaging website that highlights the vibrant atmosphere and delicious offerings of this fan-favorite concept. The site captures the essence of Sonoran street food, making it easy for visitors to explore the menu, reserve a table, and immerse themselves in the experience before even stepping through the door.

Trust, Excellence, and Results
Aarón's trust in theBrandley was not just about delivering designs—it was about entrusting us with his vision and believing in our ability to elevate each brand’s story. From the initial sketches of logo concepts to the final touches on digital user experiences, we worked closely with Aarón to ensure that every element resonated with authenticity and strategic precision.

Today, Sonoran Hospitality Brands and its ventures stand as a testament to our shared dedication to quality, culture, and growth. The project has become a cornerstone in our portfolio, not only because of its scale but because of the trust, creativity, and passion that fueled it. With Aarón’s vision and our expertise, we’ve crafted an unforgettable culinary experience that captures the heart of Sonora and brings it to life in Washington DC.
