Chef Mauricio Morales Gómez

Chef Privado En Ensenada

Soy un cocinero con más de 10 años de experiencia en la industria gastronómica y enológica, trabajé dentro de algunas de las mejores casas vinícolas de México en el Valle de Guadalupe como sommellier y desde hace 7 años cuento con un negocio de catering propio. Me enfoco en generar experiencias eno-gastronómicas de calidad, haciendo una sinergia entre el vino, cerveza artesanal y la cocina.

Para mi la cocina es...

Mi forma de expresión de mis emociones, mis viajes y mis experiencias y colocadas cuidadosamente sobre un plato para deleitar a los comensales.

Aprendí a cocinar en...

De adolescente de forma autodidacta y después tomando cursos, talleres y trabajando desde los 18 años en diferentes tipos de restaurantes.

Un secreto...

Divertirse mientras lo haces, es una actividad que requiere dedicación, pasión y esfuerzo pero mientras te puedas divertir haciéndolo es lo mejor.

The team seamlessly prepared our meal while we enjoyed drinks and relaxed, then served and cleaned everything. Amazing. Private Feedback: Thank you so so much! Wonderful experience.

How often do you get to hire a private chef??? And Chef Mauricio is fantastic! So friendly and knowledgable about wine and food. He recommended great pairings for us in advance and told us about every dish made with local ingredients. He brought everything and did everything, including the clean up!

Having Chef Mauricio and team come a cook us dinner at our Airbnb was a highlight of our trip. They were very professional and punctual.

We loved all of his dishes and would love to book him again! Private Feedback: Thank you so so much for an incredible meal Chef Mau! We really appreciate it, the food was so delicious and cooking the fish we caught. We couldn’t get over how incredible the ceviche was!

Chef Mauricio was great! On time, reasonable prices and the food was delicious. This was the highlight of our trip. He even personalized the menu and he was so communicative. My sister cried because he made it so special. Don’t hesitate to book. He left the kitchen clean and we didn’t have to worry about anything. I have already referred him to my friends and family and we will definitely call him again for our next trip. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Private Feedback: Thank you for being so attentive and taking the time to explain the dishes.

Chef Mau was one of the highlights of our entire trip. He is an unbelievable chef. We loved every single bite. He cooks with so much love and passion which adds an extra special touch.

I loved everything about this experience with Chef Mauricio. The food was absolutely amazing. He was so kind and informative. When he would bring us each course of the meal, he would come out and explain to us what it was. he was so friendly I would have conversations with us. I thought that was such a great touch. I would hire a chef, Maricio anytime I come back to the area. I highly recommend.!

The food was absolutely amazing, best ceviche I’ve ever had. It was great birthday dinner celebration for my SIL.

Chef Mauricio and team were AMAZING from the moment we reached out with our request to the time they departed our kitchen after a delicious 4-course dinner. Chef Mauricio graciously accommodated a vegan and pescatarian diner in our group of 10 people, and he and his team showed up fully prepared, prompt, and so efficient. All of that aside, the food was to die for. Everyone was so happy with their meals, and the personalized menus were an amazing touch. Chef Mauricio was so great to hang out with, and he and his team cleaned quickly and so thoroughly after dinner. We couldn’t be more satisfied with our experience and would recommend Chef Mauricio to everyone in the Ensenada area!

Chef Mauricio prepared a beautiful meal for my group, we are so happy we found him! Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a special touch to their trip to Valle.
