Get to know me better

A Baja Chef who thrives in innovation, flavor, and passion. The new face of Baja Californian cuisine.

I’m Chef César Arredondo, born in Tijuana, and I grew up in Guanajuato, proudly based in Baja California.

My culinary style, called BAJAX, bridges two vibrant Mexican regions: the rich traditions of El Bajío and the freshness and creativity of Baja California.

My journey began at Hacienda San Cristóbal, where I discovered my passion for cooking. Since then, I’ve worked across private kitchens, catering companies, and fine dining restaurants — always refining my craft and culinary philosophy: to create memorable gastronomic experiences where each dish tells a story.

I work with local ingredients — Pacific seafood, Valle de Guadalupe produce, northern meats, and Bajío chiles — to craft menus that celebrate both heritage and innovation.

Each experience includes everything: I source the ingredients, cook in your home, serve every dish, and leave your kitchen spotless. All you have to do is enjoy.

I believe great food starts with respect — for the ingredient, the producer, and the guest. Cooking is not just nourishment; it’s connection.

Every event I create is an opportunity to share memories, aromas, and textures that speak of culture, emotion, and passion.

My goal is to deliver a personalized, elegant, and health-conscious dining experience, infused with creativity and genuine hospitality.
