Shaka Mex was created here in Hawaii, as a way to pay homage to my culture and incorporate flavors of the island.

My mission is to forge meaningful connections within the community by sharing Ono Mexican Food that celebrates local ingredients and honors my Mexican heritage. Through small-batch preparation and participation in local events, I aim to build strong community bonds while providing an authentic culinary experience that balances innovation with tradition. By offering personalized services such as private catering, cooking lessons, and exclusive chef experiences—shared through media, public speaking, and educational approaches—I strive to empower others to embrace the culinary arts.

My goal is to share my knowledge, journey, and passion for cooking, encouraging others to embark on their culinary adventures. I am committed to nurturing a love for food that transcends the kitchen, enriching lives and fostering a deeper appreciation for diverse culinary traditions. Through sharing both my successes and struggles, I hope to inspire others to embrace their challenges and encourage them to create meals fueled by love, recognizing the power of food to connect us all.
