Tulum Mexico Private Chef Javier Ornelas

CHEF JAVIER ORNELAS

Chef Javier Ornelas was born and raised in Mexico City, and attended CESSA, the premier culinary school in Mexico.


In 2005, he moved to Tulum and opened Ginger, a restaurant and bar that quickly became a favorite for tourists and locals. Ginger accumulated awards and great reviews in publications like the New York Times and Fodor´s travel guides.


Javier´s food is a mixture of classic Mexican flavors and modern touches, and he has created some signature dishes that you won´t find anywhere else.


In February 2014, he closed Ginger to focus on catering exclusively, and hasn´t looked back! He enjoys working with the bride and groom to create their ideal menu for their big day.
