  • ✨ Tonjia C. ✨

    “I don’t think there are enough stars in the world to rate Brian, I would give him a million 🌟!!!!!!! Brian created a customized Tex Mex dining experience for my family and the dip bar was the best dips I ever had in my life. The tortilla soup was heaven and the elotes are still in my dreams. We were so stuffed we all took a nap between course 4 and 5 and happily came back for more! Everything was fresh and what we loved was there was a story behind each course. I think we had 8 courses that day! We ate for at least 3-4 hours! The greatest part of the experience was Brian himself. ❤️🙏🏽 Brian brought our family together - 6 people, 3 generations, 3 states - in ways that we had not been in so many years over food and LOVE. I could feel the love that he has for what he does and for people! He is an authentic and genuine soul and a master chef! He’s already booked with me 3 more times! Thank you Brian for sharing your gifts with us. 🙏🏽”

Any “challenges” I’ve given him felt more like fun adventures; he truly loves meeting his clients’ needs and exceeding their expectations every time.”

  • ✨ Rocio G. ✨

    “...Hiring Chef Brian Santiago for prep, food preparation, and clean up was one of the best decisions I could have made & the event went so smoothly.
