Chef Javier Martinez Cen

Javier Martinez Cen was born and raised in Isla Mujeres and learned to cook in his families kitchen. With musicians throughout generations of the family, these were two talents Javier was bound to inherit. Growing up in his Mexican home, there were always lots of family members to feed and authentic Mexican food to share. Javier is personable, talented, makes friends easily and began cooking for his new friends when they would visit the island. His love of cooking, creating and sharing recipes created a natural progression to becoming a self-taught chef.
