Most recently, Mara was at the helm of Cascabel and Sweetsalt in Toluca Lake, Highly Likely Cafe, and partner of the short-lived Rebelión in Malibu. She joined the opening team of Eszett in 2019 and has been collaborating alongside Sabrina and Spencer (barring a short hiatus during the pandemic!) ever since.
