Café Sofrito to reveal new South American Style Mural at location on 3731 Main St. on November 15, 4 PM

Kansas City, Missouri (November 9, 2022) - Café Sofrito opened its doors on August 15, 2022 in the former Pirate’s Bone location at 3731 Main St. in Kansas City, Missouri. The formerly vibrant yellow building hosts the urban community with flavors and cuisine from Caribbean and South America, and has recently commissioned artist Kill Joy from Houston to design and install a mural to mirror the food it serves.

Kill Joy's work is grounded in honoring the earth and seeking environmental and social justice through both imaginative worlds and social movements. Her work is an interpretation of world mythology and a study of ancient symbols. She integrates story telling with calls to spiritual and political awareness and action.

Kill Joy's family is originally from and partly based in the archipelago known as the Philippines and partly in Texas. Her work sits at the intersection where jungle meets desert. https://joyland.space/about

Sofrito is a Caribbean term for a mix of herb with onions, garlic and sweet pepper and is often used in a juicy pork sandwich with fried potato thins and mayonnaise, and served on special holidays. Café Sofrito boasts dishes like beef or chicken arepas, fried plantains, tasty salads and much more. Open 11 am to 3 pm then 5 pm to 8 pm, Monday through Friday it’s a must have lunch location. Much like the new mural being unveiled on November 15 at 4 pm, the food is as vibrant and playful as the art from its origin of Caribbean and South America.

Live music, appetizers and libations will be available during the revealing of this much anticipated art that will catch the attention of all who drive down Main Street.
