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.

Mango Habanero Chicken
The chicken was tender, the broccoli was perfectly cooked, and the sauce complimented everything. Just wish the portion size was bigger.

Mole Chicken Enchiladas
I liked the veggie rice and there were three enchiladas which is generous. The mole sauce was decent. Inside of the corn tortillas was just chicken I believe, and I think it would have benefitted from some extra ingredients like onions, peppers, cheese, flavoring, etc. Overall though, a good meal and large portion.

The fish was delicious, and OMG I wish this meal came with a gallon of Putanesca sauce, sooo good!

Pumpkin Pancakes with Scrambled Eggs & Bacon
Really good breakfast. Very hardy and tasty. Had to cook the bacon longer separately, I like it crispy.
