"Great food does not need four walls to be extraordinary."

- Chef Jean Louis Samedi

Haitian food is world-class cuisine.

From Scratch is not a food truck. It is a fine-dining kitchen on wheels, built on the belief that Haitian cuisine deserves to be celebrated at the highest level.

Chef Jean Louis Samedi brings the same precision you'd find in a Michelin-trained kitchen to every service in El Paso. Every dish, from the 24-hour sous-vide Griot de Prestige to the silky Joumou Velouté Royale, is made from scratch that morning, using real techniques and quality ingredients sourced fresh.

Nothing comes out of a can. Nothing is reheated. No shortcuts. This is Haitian food as it was meant to be experienced: elevated, proud, and unforgettable.

Culinary Excellence
Sous-vide, gastrique reductions, handmade emulsions, restaurant technique in every plate.
Cultural Pride
Every recipe rooted in authentic Haitian tradition, elevated with a fine-dining lens.
Made Fresh Daily
Prep begins at 6:30 AM every service day. You taste the difference.
Only in El Paso
The only Haitian fine-dining food truck in the city. A first, and a standard.
