About the organization
“El Velador” means “The Watchman,” inspired by the traditional figure who watched over and protected his community.
El Velador was founded by chefs Veronica and Laszlo Tomaschek, who share a passion for bringing people together through food. After working across Europe, the United States, and Mexico, they created El Velador to share their heritage with the Cleveland community.
Their philosophy is simple: food is comfort, culture and connection. By combining professional culinary training with family traditions, they create authentic Mexican dishes that feel like home.
El Velador offers more than just meals, it offers an experience rooted in culture, care, and the joy of sharing food with others.
