A famous chef once said a cook needs to have a percentage of cockiness, i don’t agree, cockiness and confidence are not the same, i have confidence, my level of confidence is coming from my training, and hours and hours of hard work, spending so much money on buying ingredients to go home and practice, practice and practice, learning from other co-workers and chefs. I learned from others the right way, and i learned from some to not go on that route, i traveled a lot, just to try other cuisines, i read many books, coming from Puerto Rico, which is caribbean creole, at the same time, its a tourist destination, which makes Puerto Rico a great place for international cuisine. The kitchen is not for everyone, is tough, is a competition every day, i grew up on a very tough environment, hometown, Bayamon, some ppl will understand where im coming from, so i fit perfect in the kitchen, thats why i have my confidence level high. I dont compete with others, i compete with myself, to be better everyday, my dad showed me to be a perfectionist, a leader, my mom showed me to help others. They thought me to love my job like it is my own business. Its been 19 yrs since i moved to california, i came to work, to show my talents, my passion. I met great cooks, which i learned from them , Chef Bryan Chavez, Chef Salvador Lomeli, Chef Big Will, and Chef John, the one who guide me and trusted me, a greek man with french cuisine on his veins, all these chefs are different, but made a great impact in my life.

I made my name and my brand here in central valley, i dont want to be remember as one of the ones.

I WANT TO BE THE ONE.

I’m Chef Rafa, your Chef, let me take care of your event, ill show you how its done!!
