I cook to bring people together
Cooking has been my passion since I was 15, and I believe great food brings people together. I create memorable experiences inspired by my Mexican heritage and shaped by the ingredients at their seasonal peak.
I learned my craft in Napa Valley
I learned to cook in Napa Valley at the age of 15, and that’s where my passion for food and hospitality began. That foundation still guides how I design menus—thoughtful, polished, and centered on the guest experience.
I let the season lead the menu
My secret in the kitchen is to cook with the seasons and respect the ingredients. I keep my approach focused and ingredient-forward so every flavor feels clean, intentional, and true to its source.
We had a truly unforgettable experience! We hired Chef Rogelio Garcia for a 50th birthday party weekend in Calistoga, CA. He prepared four incredible meals for our party of 10. He was very responsive from the moment he responded to our inquiry. He was prompt, positive and professional. His menus were outstanding and he catered to our requests. We had one person who is vegan and that was no problem at all for Rogelio. Cannot say enough about how well he took care of us. His meals were the highlight of our weekend! We would all hire him again for our next event!!
