We prepare everything with kosher-style ingredients and meats; however, we are open on Saturdays and are not under Rabbinical supervision.
“Yalla” means “vamos” in Spanish or “come on, hurry up” in English, the perfect name for our express, fast-paced take on Motek’s beloved flavors.
Yalla Motek must remain open on Shabbat due to the Aventura Mall rules, and therefore Kosher Culture has approved the partnership with a non-Jewish business partner, who takes ownership over the business and equipment on Shabbat (From Friday night until Sunday morning).
Therefore, the Hashgacha is from Sunday morning to Friday before sundown only and not on Shabbat or Motzei Shabat. This is a Halachically permissible arrangement when necessary.
The meat is all Glatt Kosher, and the arrangement with the non-Jewish partner was arranged in order for Yalla Motek to offer Kosher food and not “Kosher-style” food, since many of its customers are Jewish.
