I craft BajaMed cuisine from scratch with local soul

Image alt description

I was born in Guadalajara and spent most of my life in Baja California. At 22, I started cooking professionally and eventually moved to Valle de Guadalupe to create Corazá, a family project where I blend traditional recipes with the incredible ingredients of Baja. I build close relationships with small local producers and winemakers to honor the land and create meaningful, community-driven dining experiences.

I specialize in seafood and long-smoked meats, always cooked low and slow and made entirely from scratch. Today I bring the vibrant flavors of the Pacific and the desert to Arizona. I offer catering for 2 to 100 guests and personalized menus ranging from 3 to 7 courses—vegetarian, grilled, or seafood-focused—always seasonal, honest, and full of Baja character.
