View ProfileThe flavors of the Yucatan shine in Chef Maribel's marinade, which is made with sour orange blended with achiote and herbs to create the most succulent braised pork ever. That super tender pork is tucked into corn tortillas alongside grilled pineapple, caramelized onions, and Oaxaca and pepper jack cheeses to create the most divine quesadillas you've ever tasted. Served with a refreshing cabbage slaw with a garlic-cilantro vinaigrette dressing and tomatillo sauce on the side, this dish has everything you want and more.

Personal chef and cooking instructor in Austin, TX. My specialty covers foods from South America to North America. I'm motivated by the stories behind cooking and expressing that story into the flavor of the food. In 2017, my brother and I created Yuyo Peruano restaurant as a celebration of my culinary immersion throughout South America, where I connected with the people and the culinary community from Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay. I was recognized by the James Beard Foundation with a Best Chef nomination in 2019. Due to covid Yuyo closed with many other opportunities to cook for many more than I could have imagined through CookUnity.
