🇦🇷❤️ Last night was more than just an event. It was a celebration of community, culture, and the feeling of being a little closer to home.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for this beautiful evening brought to life by .nz. From the first toast to the last song, the room was filled with laughter, stories, friendships, and the unmistakable spirit of Argentina.
The night was such a memorable experience and delivering an incredible performance that had everyone singing, dancing, and celebrating together. Your passion and music made the night truly unforgettable. 🎶✨
At El Origen, we are proud to be a place where our community can gather, reconnect with its roots, and create new memories. It was an honour to host this event and prepare a special Argentine menu that allowed us to share a taste of our traditions around the table.
Seeing so many people come together, whether Argentine, Latin American, Kiwi, or friends of our culture, reminds us that food, music, and community have the power to bring people together in a truly special way.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a success.
This wasn’t just a night out. It was a celebration of who we are.
Until next time… nos vemos pronto. 🇦🇷🍷❤️

A veces, el verdadero origen no es un lugar.
Es una mesa compartida. ❤️
El Origen nació de dos familias, dos historias y una misma necesidad: mantener viva la esencia latina al otro lado del mundo.
Entre recetas heredadas, música que recuerda a casa y sabores llenos de memoria, comenzó un espacio donde la cultura latina pudiera sentirse cerca, incluso en Nueva Zelanda.
Porque la cocina latina tiene algo único:
convierte desconocidos en amigos, cenas en celebraciones y momentos simples en recuerdos que permanecen.
Hoy celebramos a todas las madres que mantienen vivas las tradiciones, que unen generaciones alrededor de la comida y que transforman cualquier rincón del mundo en hogar.
Desde el origen, para todas las mamás que entregan amor todos los días.
Happy Mother’s Day
