Originally from Peto, Yucatán, Chef Carlos Montejo discovered his passion for cooking at a young age, inspired by the aromas, flavors, and traditions of the Yucatán Peninsula. His academic training allowed him to master culinary techniques that he now fuses with a contemporary vision, always maintaining a deep respect for his roots.
He began his career in hotels and restaurants across the Riviera Maya before joining Frida restaurant at Grand Velas Riviera Maya, under the direction of Chef Ricardo de la Vega. There, he refined his technique and strengthened his culinary identity. Later, he became part of the acclaimed Le Chique restaurant, where he explored contemporary cuisine and developed a more experimental and creative style.
Today, he leads the kitchen at Chaká in Grand Velas Riviera Maya, a restaurant that pays tribute to contemporary Yucatecan cuisine, combining local ingredients, modern techniques, and a narrative that honors the culture and traditions of the region.
Passionate about continuous learning and mentoring new talent, Chef Montejo inspires his team to create authentic, creative dishes full of identity, ensuring that every plate tells a story and forges an emotional connection with those who taste it.
