My Mexican Kitchen was born from a love of food -- mainly the full-bodied, spicy food that makes your toes tingle. In December 2006, we opened our fine dining-in catering service, preparing and serving 5-course dinners to small groups in private residences. We expanded to include large group buffets early the next year.

And then, with our rental of a homey Kitchen on Lazaro Cardenas Street, we expanded yet again to include a Cooking School.

A Poblano (being from the state of Puebla), main chef Edgar Garcia Cordova brings to My Mexican Kitchen his years of restaurant and kitchen experience along with the delicious, unique flavors that are associated with Central Mexico. Growing up in a large family of restaurant owners and traveling throughout Mexico, he has gained a deep appreciation for and knowledge of his country's cuisine, trying the variety of dishes from different regions. Additionally, he has worked in restaurants in Guadalajara, Puebla City and for a catering company in Canada.

Sous-chef Travis Dietz provides the culinary assistance and cultural tie-over to bring classes to everyone who would like to participate in learning the wonderful art we call Mexican food. Arriving in Mexico in April 2003, he has also had the opportunity to travel extensively--in his new home country, sampling the diverse flavors of Mexico, and abroad as well, including four summers in Germany working as a Personal Chef for a family there.
