Hi, I’m Chef Rogelio.
Rogelio Garcia

I create refined, ingredient-driven menus that blend my Mexican heritage with the seasonal bounty of Northern California.

I bring modern Mexican soul to seasonal Northern California ingredients.

I’m a Michelin-starred chef, James Beard Award finalist, Top Chef competitor, and cookbook author. My cooking celebrates the intersection of my Mexican roots and the ingredient-driven abundance of Northern California, with menus that feel both refined and deeply personal.

In every dining experience, I focus on seasonality, technique, and hospitality—so your table feels cared for and every dish tells a story of culture and place.

My secret in the kitchen is to cook with the seasons and respect the ingredients.

I cook with purpose: heritage, seasonality, and hospitality in every course.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 333.25 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Local, Chef's special and Latin American. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
