Chef Manny began his love of food at a young age while growing up in Mexico. His Mother and Grandmother taught him all about the local flavors and culinary customs of Mexican cooking. As he got older, Chef Manny would travel all throughout Mexico to learn about indigenous cultures and cooking techniques. This propelled him to a lifelong career as a chef and culinary entrepreneur.

 

After arriving in the US, from Mexico, Chef Manny began his work as a chef. He worked in various Las Vegas casinos for over 30 years, including the Mirage, the Venetian, and the MGM. From all of the knowledge he gained while working in the kitchen, he decided to open up his own catering company.  As the success of his catering company grew, he decided to open Buena Vista Kitchen Mexican Grill at Lakeside Village in Summerlin/Desert Shores. He is now planning to open his second restaurant, The Daily Bread, which will also be located at Lakeside Village.
