About Us
Our Story
Passion, flavor, and community served at every table.
Three Amigos Hospitality was founded by longtime friends and industry veterans Scott Frielich, Angelo Abbenante, and Cleve Mash—three visionaries who share a passion for creating unforgettable dining and social experiences. Together, they have built a hospitality group defined by innovation, community connection, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. From the bold flavors of Papichulo Tacos to the elevated energy of Blackbird Modern Asian, the group continues to set the standard for South Florida’s dining culture while expanding thoughtfully into new markets.
Our Philosophy
At Three Amigos Hospitality, we believe true hospitality goes beyond food—it’s about people. Every plate, every cocktail, and every moment is crafted with connection, community, and care. Our mantra is simple: welcome all like family, honor flavor and culture, and create spaces where memories naturally unfold.
