OUR STORY
"You want to do what?"
Erik's and my journey to Gothems Cantina Y Casitas started in May 2014 on our first visit to Gotland. We fell in love with the island and wanted to have our wedding in Visby in May 2015. We hoped someday to return to Sweden to retire. It was fortuitous that Erik stumbled upon the real estate listing for Gothems Fiket...
Vanessa, a second generation Mexican American raised in Southern California, was a Lieutenant in the Navy and spent the past 7 years in the US Defense Industry in Program Management, but her real passion was for cooking and baking. For her, Mexican food has deep roots; her mother, Sandra taught her authentic mexican food from the recipes passed down from generations of the "Sepulveda" women from Mexicali. Home made tortillas, fresh salsa, and savory meats define her food with authentic and delicious Mexican flavours.
Erik, born and raised in Sweden, spent the majority of his adulthood in the USA working as the General Manager for some of the most prestigious Golf and Country Clubs in the US; including organization's such as PGA National and American Golf Corporation. With over 20 years experience in the Food & Beverage Industry he always longed to run his own business.
We met in April 2013 and fell instantly in love. Built from our combined leadership, business experience, love of Gotland and our passion for Mexican food, Gothems Cantina Y Casitas and the "Got 'Em Taco Tank" were born!
We hope you enjoy our food as much as we do and if you don't, your food is on us!
