Chef Israel Rojas

Israel and Carolina were the perfect team. Israel’s cooking was finely tuned and the best food we ate in Mexico (even his take on Baja-style tacos with salads was a high-end meal). Carolina was a gracious host and server and both left the kitchen and dining area cleaner than they found it, every night. I loved when Carolina asked if I would like a bit more wine, right on cue, or swept away a quickly finished flan plate and returned with a second portion. Israel discussed the menu with me beforehand but every evening he adapted his cooking to fit our needs, whether it was an extra child portion or another vegetarian or even incorporating a tuna we caught into an amazing sushi/sashimi lunch and grilled dinner the next day! These two run their own restaurant and it shows, both in the quality and presentation of the food, the edible flowers on the family platters of the salads and sashimis, the desserts, and the multiple seatings of picky children and hungry adults, but also in the way it felt like they were the hosts, in complete control of the evening. Their timing, talent, adaptability and graciousness made sitting down for dinner the best part of our 16 person family holiday. I can’t recommend the pair highly enough! Thank you again for the great service,
