BELENâOwning a restaurant has long been a dream for Israel Rojas, and now he has two.Â
The owner of the Oasis Cafe in Rio Communities opened his second restaurant in Belen in November 2020, at 418 S. Main St., formerly home to Hondumex.
Rojas, who immigrated from Mexico, began his journey in the kitchen in 2004 in Albuquerque, working in every role from kitchen manager, sous chef all the way to executive chef.
He moved to Belen almost a decade ago and worked at the Tierra Del Sol Golf Club as a kitchen manager for six years before he opened the original Oasis Cafe two years ago in May 2019.
