We bring the warmth of Peruvian tradition straight to your events. We are a small, family-run business specializing in handcrafted alfajores, traditional Peruvian cakes, and our signature treat… freshly made picarones.
Our picarones are the heart of what we do. We prepare them live at your event, frying them fresh on-site so your guests can enjoy them warm, crispy, and drizzled with our homemade syrup. We cater an experience.
We offer full-service catering and arrive fully equipped with everything needed, including our mobile food license, so you can relax and enjoy your event.
What we offer:


Our food is sweet, just like my grandmother’s heart. Tilita is dedicated to her, the one who started it all. She taught my mom how to make picarones, and my mom passed that tradition down to me. Today, that tradition lives on through everything we make. My name is Kylla, and Tilita is my way of honoring my peruvian roots while sharing the flavors I grew up with. This business was born from nostalgia, from missing the flavors of home and wanting to bring something special to our community After welcoming our first baby, I found the push I needed to step out of my comfort zone and turn this dream into a reality. This would not be possible without the support of my husband and my mother who continue to stand beside me every step of the way.

Our mission is to bring people back to Peru, even if just for a moment. For those who have never been, we hope to offer a meaningful introduction to our culture through our desserts.
We strive to make Peruvians feel represented and proud, while inspiring others to experience and fall in love with the flavors and traditions of Peru.
