Yuyo, El Chile Group’s Peruvian concept, developed by Carlos Rivero and sister Chef Maribel Rivero, will sadly be joining many unique Austin restaurants in shuttering permanently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Introducing Peruvian food with a Texas flair to Austin was a labor of love for Maribel and me. However, this pandemic environment has proven insurmountable for our developing concept,” said Carlos.

James Beard nominated Chef Maribel continues to share her love of food and her culinary gifts via her personal brand Cocina Maribel. She’s offering recipes, cooking classes and more.
