With a rich educational tapestry from CESSA Universidad and specialized studies at Cornell University and Natural Gourmet Institute, I've honed my expertise in restaurant revenue management and food media. Currently, as Head Chef at La Bartola, my focus lies in melding high-quality local ingredients with traditional Mexican flavors, paying tribute to Mexico's culinary matriarchs. My core competencies include business ownership and a deep understanding of authentic Mexican cuisine.My journey at La Bartola has been accentuated by the creation of dishes that tell a story, deeply rooted in Oaxaca and Mexico City influences. We’ve crafted a menu that aligns with the organization's ethos of honoring traditional cooking while bringing innovative plant-based options to the forefront. In this role, the team and I have embraced the values of creativity, sustainability, and diversity, continually pushing the boundaries of conventional gastronomy.
