Chef Jesús
I started my culinary career at the age of 15, working as an apprentice for the renowned Mexican chef Sixto Mejia Lopez. Working with Chef Sixto Lopez was the inflection point to my interest in cooking professionally—I even stopped attending university, so I could continue developing my skills in restaurants around Mexico. I spent years perfecting my craft in the kitchens of some fantastic vacation destinations, including Casa Cupula, Vidanta, Villa Premier, Grand Miramar, Casa Demae, and other luxury locations.
Now, after 17 years of experience, I am proud to be leading the culinary team here at the Marcela Resort & Spa. Every day we come to work, we want to make sure that we’re bringing only the best food and drink to your table and, more than anything, I want to make sure your dining experience is completely unforgettable.
That was my goal when I was asked to create a new menu for Marcelita, and my team works tirelessly to bring that level of quality to every dish we prepare.
