Santa Manía is a cajun-inspired restaurant in the south of Mexico, serving quick bites such as sandwiches and grilled cuisine with a Southern-Mexican fusion. Inspired initially by the “cajun craze,” we envisioned a restaurant that holds such delectable food that it drives their clients into a delirium with an almost religious fervor. We chose the name Santa Manía (Holy Craze), and created an entire universe where saints are now foodies, angels fashion our meals, and animals themselves pray to be selected to turn into a delicious meal.

Inspired by hand painted store signs of the 20th century, we designed a stylized and retro wordmark. The halo serves as the icon for the brand, reminding clients that they too can become holy, if only they try one of our meals. May we bless your meals, may we bless your tongue!
