Mexican Fiesta
Carlos Barragan’s journey began by preparing food with love for his siblings, which is where his love for cooking was born. At 19, he left a programming career for the stoves of a restaurant, and hasn't stopped since. he believes in unpretentious food, but full of flavor.
He’s currently serving as head chef at Esquina Común, a 1 Michelin-starred restaurant in Mexico City, where they cook seasonal Mexican cuisine without rules, guided by a younger and fresher vision, while still respecting the country's culinary traditions.
Together with his current mentor, Ana Dolores, they promote respect, collaboration, and a positive culture both within the kitchen team and in the experience of those who visit the restaurant.
His greatest motivation is that genuine joy when tasting a dish.
