Let me tell you about someone truly special in our San Antonio food scene — Chef Alessia Benevides, the creative force behind Chocolatl. When you step into her world, you feel it immediately… that mix of history, artistry, and pure passion for cacao. Alessia doesn’t just make chocolate — she brings ancient Mesoamerican traditions to life in the most delicious way.

Her chocolates are rich, thoughtful, and full of depth — the kind you taste and instantly think, wow, this is something rare. Every piece feels like a little moment, crafted with care and rooted in culture. If you're a chocolate lover or just someone who appreciates makers who pour their heart into their craft, you’ll fall in love with what Alessia is doing right here in our city.

San Antonio has some incredible talent, and Alessia is one of those people raising the bar — one beautiful bite at a time.
