Part of SOMOS Hospitality

Tzuco’s culinary experience is all about coming together. Chef Carlos Gaytán’s main expectation is to evoke the cozy and endearing sensation of being home, surrounded by family. Gaytán creates every dish with eager creativity. Inspired in his mother’s ways, he does not follow a recipe book as much as his heart. His Mexican heritage is complemented by the French techniques he learned in his thorough training. All of which brings to the table the most authentic flavors, textures and aromas.
