About
My native country is Mexico, and I am extremely passionate about my roots — especially the diversity found in Mexican gastronomy. Cooking is not just about putting a dish on the table. It is about passion, love and subtlety when preparing it. It is finding the perfect balance of seasonings, colors, and flavors to create exquisite harmony.My love of cooking began 25 years ago at the age of 12 when I started working in restaurants in Mexico. I found my true passion there and decided to dedicate myself to discovering great contrasts and diversity in gastronomy.I arrived in New York at the age of 20. Since then I have focused on developing my passion. My first experience was at a Mexican restaurant, La Hacienda. I then assisted with the opening of the Dos Caminos Restaurant in New York. I went to work at the Rosa Mexican Restaurant where I trained the staff at the Atlanta, Georgia opening, and ended my stay there as a pastry chef. Over the years I have worked in different restaurants as Manager, working my way up to Executive Chef in restaurants such as Gardenia, La Casa Agave, Vida Verde and more.In 25 years of this beautiful profession I realize only one thing: I don’t cook to live, I live to cook.

Chicken Enchiladas Suizas
Very enjoyable and tasted good

Green Salmon Bowl
I loved the green veggies but the sauce needed brightness and a bit sweetness to bring it together.

Green Salmon Bowl
Salmon was cooked well, but the Brussels sprouts were undercooked and very tough. Unfortunately, the meal caused severe stomach discomfort and indigestion soon after, so I wouldn’t order it again.

Smash Burger Bowl
Didn’t care for the taste of the sauce. Packaging could be improve. Maybe separate compartments to make it easier to heat up.

Mexican Adobo Chicken
A bit bland -even with the sauce

Smash Burger Bowl
If things need removed prior to cooking would be nice if it were packaged separately.
