Current Antojitos Cast Members
Antojitos was established in November 2022 by improviser, Rudolofo Mendoza. Since then we have had several amazing teammates who have helped the comedy troupe grow into what it is now! We appreciate everything that past cast members, including our initial founder, did for Antojitos. We wouldn’t be who we are now without everyone’s contributions!
