La Cabrona Cocina Mexicana (Fort Worth): Leena on Family Legacy, Leadership & Holiday Buñuelos
Description
🎄 Christmas Special—On Location in Fort Worth, Texas!
In this holiday episode of The Global Latin Factor Podcast, we visit La Cabrona Cocina Mexicana—a must-try Fort Worth Mexican restaurant in the DFW food scene—for an on-location conversation with Leena (COO).
Leena shares her journey rooted in Mexican and Lebanese heritage, how her family built a family-owned restaurant legacy, and what it really takes to run a restaurant behind the scenes—from hospitality leadership and kitchen standards to creating a true destination restaurant in Fort Worth. We also talk about the meaning behind the name “La Cabrona” as a tribute to strong women, what to order on your first visit (including their savory/spicy mole and carne asada), and why Sundays are a full experience with Fort Worth brunch, mariachi vibes, and drink specials.
Plus, we head into the kitchen for a holiday tradition—making Mexican buñuelos—a seasonal treat that brings family, culture, and flavor together.
