About

Francisco Gallegos is a passionate chef from Ensenada with over 15 years of culinary experience, having worked in various parts of the world.

His cuisine is a reflection of tradition, full of flavors, stories, and emotions. The main goal of his gastronomic approach is to create culinary experiences using top-quality local products to share the culture of his homeland.

For Chef Gallegos, cooking comes down to SHARING. His passion for Ensenada’s
culinary scene includes a special love for the wines from its valleys.

He learned to cook at a young age in his mother’s kitchen and later had the opportunity to work in various places. His “secret” lies in highlighting fresh, seasonal products offered by the land and sea, as he believes the best dishes are born from using the best ingredients.
