Success stories are fragments of realities that resonate within our deepest selves…
TZUCO® is a memoir of struggle, devotion, resilience, passion, talent and imagination.
Tzuco’s culinary experience is all about coming together.
Chef Carlos Gaytán’s main expectation is to evoke the cozy and endearing sensation of being home, surrounded by family.
Gaytán creates every dish with eager creativity. Inspired in his mother’s ways, he does not follow a recipe book as much as his heart. His Mexican heritage is complemented by the French techniques he learned in his thorough training. All of which bring to the table the most authentic flavors, textures and aromas.

TZUCO® is Carlos’ best expression of himself. Food that excites the spirit and warms up the heart.
The naming comes from Carlos Gaytán’s hometown in Guerrero, Mexico. Huitzuco (derived from the Nahuatl -Huixochin- meaning abundant thorns) becomes the perfect metaphor to talk about Gaytan’s arduous and unbelievable journey of success.

Cadena Concept Design’s unique approach towards the project becomes a three dimensional and immersive journey through a space of strange beauty where design evokes the idea of life arising from absolute nothingness.
