I cook soulful Mexican tradition with a global, modern touch.

I’m Mildred “Mily” Moreno, born and raised in Guerrero, Mexico, where my love for authentic flavors and family traditions began. My cooking is guided by the recipes and spirit I learned at home—especially from my mother, Doña Karina—and I bring that same warmth to every table I serve.

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve specialized in pre-Hispanic corn tamales, maize preparation, and mango- and vegetable-based dishes, while also developing my style through international influences since moving to the United States in 2005. For me, every menu is a story of culture, craft, and the joy of sharing.

My secret in the kitchen is love and passion—I cook as if I were cooking for my family, and a positive outlook never fails.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with honor, tradition, and joy

Cooking is an honor and a tradition for me—it's the kind of love you feel from your grandmother’s cooking. I keep family dishes and techniques alive, and I bring that same playful joy to every service.

I’ve grown through curiosity and technique

I started cooking around 15, inspired by my family and driven by curiosity. Over time I became obsessed with technique, flavor, texture, and international cuisine—and that curiosity still shapes how I build each course today.

I lead with love in every plate

My philosophy is simple: I cook with love and passion, like I’m cooking for my own family. I’ve learned that care, consistency, and a positive mindset make all the difference in the final dish.

I cook Latin American, Local, Seafood/Fish and Chef's special. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
