We're just focusing now on the dishes that I grew up eating, the dishes that I love eating every day, said Valdez. Mostly, the food that we're serving at Naks is like the original form of it. What you can see back home, this is the same food that we're serving at Naks.

"Inside, two spaces unfold before you: the main lounge, affectionately dubbed The Living Room, and a smaller, semi-private hideaway known as The Kitchen Table."
