5 Delicious Ways to Say "You Are Appreciated"

Saying "thank you" is an art form, especially in the hustle of New York City. While a card is nice, nothing shows appreciation quite like good food and drink. Whether you need a gift for a host, a colleague, or a loved one, here is how to pair our signature flavors with a genuine "thank you."

1. The Ultimate Crowd Pleaser: Empanada & Chip Platter

Best for: The office team or a group of friends. Nothing brings people together like a platter of our golden Empanadas, paired with fresh Tortilla and Plantain Chips. But the real star? Our three famous dipping sauces. It’s the perfect way to say, "I appreciate all your hard work," whether you're gathering in a Midtown conference room or having a fall picnic in Central Park.

2. The Gift of Salsa Fines: Sofrito & Adobo

Best for: The home cook or the neighbor who waters your plants. Give a gift that keeps on giving. By gifting a jar of our Sofrito and Adobo, you aren't just giving ingredients; you are giving them that authentic "Salsa Fina taste." It’s a thoughtful, practical way to say, "I appreciate you and want your dinners to be delicious." It’s the secret ingredient to any NYC kitchen.

3. A Toast to Friendship: Coquito & Sangria

Best for: The dinner party host. Skip the generic wine store run. Walking in with a bottle of our creamy, spiced Coquito or our fruity Sangria is a top-tier move. It pairs perfectly with a rooftop view or a cozy apartment hang-out. It’s the simplest way to say, "Thank you for inviting me and making me feel welcome."

4. A Warm Hug: Traditional Pasteles

Best for: Family (or friends who feel like family). Pasteles are a labor of love, which makes them one of the most sentimental gifts you can give. They offer comfort and tradition wrapped in a banana leaf. Bringing a dozen to a loved one in Brooklyn or the Bronx says, "I appreciate our traditions and I wanted to bring you something special."

5. The Grand Gesture: Pavo Criollo Style Turkey

Best for: The person who does it all. Sometimes a small gift isn't enough. For a mentor, a parent, or a major celebration, our Pavo Criollo Style Turkey is the ultimate show of gratitude. It pairs with the energy of the Big Apple—big, bold, and memorable. It says, "You deserve a break. Let me handle dinner tonight. You are truly appreciated."
