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.

Cheesy Brisket Quesadillas
The top was off the red sauce and it spilled in the whole container. Disappointing because I loved learning that sauce for dipping

Marinated Shrimp Quesadillas
Tasted great but I didn't use all of the sauce containers.

This was inedible! The tortillas were so tough you could not cut them.

Needs more refried beans on the rice, but otherwise very yummy.

Beef Birria Quesadillas
Hands down, BEST meal I have ordered. I can't have gluten and corn tortillas can be dry, but these were soft and so delicious.
