With a foundation rooted in Baja California, Juan has a deep knowledge and appreciation for the seafood, produce, and flavors of the region. His culinary journey has taken him throughout Mexico, where he expanded his understanding of the country’s regional cooking traditions, before continuing his career in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Diego.
Over the past five years, Juan has brought Mesa Agrícola to life through a variety of projects, including farm dinners, community events, and a year-long dinner residency at Vino Carta in Solana Beach.
