Inspired by the World, Grounded in Mexico
Cooking with Heart, Passion, and Purpose

Copia de Chef Roman 05.jpg

I’m a Mexican-born private chef passionate about globally inspired cuisine, always rooted in the flavors and traditions of my homeland. I was born in Jalisco and raised in the quiet town of Esperanza, Sonora. Today, I live in Puerto Vallarta, while my family remains close in the beautiful, magical town of Mascota, Jalisco.

 

My passion for cooking began in childhood. I remember my father constantly in the kitchen, stirring pots and layering flavors that filled our home. I was always nearby with a spoon, eager to taste his soups, salsas, and stews. Those early memories sparked not only my love of food but also the joy of creating it.

​

As I grew older, I realized that meals were moments of connection. Sharing a table with loved ones inspired me to pursue life as a chef. Every dish, I discovered, had the power to tell a story, and I wanted to be its storyteller. That journey led me to study at the Puerto Vallarta ISIMA Institute of Higher Studies, where I refined my craft and deepened my knowledge before working in restaurants across the city.

​

Still, I longed for more creative freedom. I wanted to cook with artistry, imagination, and heart in ways restaurants don't always allow. That’s when I embraced private dining—where each meal is a personal experience. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a lively cocktail party, or a grand celebration, I bring passion and purpose to every event, crafting a story for my clients with every bite.
