JUNTOS Is Back: Kicking Off Our Monthly Brunch Networking Event at El Asadero Mexican Grill in Fort Lee
January 21, 2026
JUNTOS Chamber Talks is back—and the first gathering of the year is set for Friday, Feb. 27, at El Asadero Mexican Grill in Fort Lee.
Since launching in August, JUNTOS has created space for real conversation, direct access to Chamber leadership, and meaningful dialogue that rarely happens at large networking events. This is where members ask the questions that matter—and get real answers.
“Food has always been a way to bring people together, and this event does exactly that. We’re proud to partner with the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey to celebrate culture, connection, and the incredible energy of our local business community,” said our February main sponsor and host Jaime Delgado, owner of El Asadero Mexican Grill Fort Lee.
Food is the bridge between cultures, neighbors, ideas and opportunity. When good food meets honest conversation, something meaningful happens. That is the heart of JUNTOS.
No stages. No stiff scripts. Just people, ideas and open dialogue.
Every time JUNTOS comes together, something new happens. A business owner finds a partner. A founder gains clarity. A long-held question finally gets answered. A community grows stronger.
That spirit carries into the new year—starting in Fort Lee.

WHY JUNTOS CHAMBER TALKS:
JUNTOS was created with members in mind.
It offers direct access to Chamber leadership and trusted experts in a setting designed for conversation, not performance. These are the questions members want to ask—and often cannot—at large events.
Come hungry—for food, for conversation, for connection.
Because when we gather, we do not just network.
We build community.
Juntos.
