ABOUT
Chef Johnny Curiel, a native of Guadalajara, Mexico. He grew up in a family full of chefs. His dad, mom, and sister were all executive chefs at some point which allowed Johnny to hang out in the kitchen and watch them work while growing up.
The La Cantina menu will focus on affordable high-end authentic Mexican food dishes, including tacos, a 36-hour black mole, New York strip fajitas with smoked onions and tortillas made exclusively with corn sourced from Ohio farms.
With connections throughout Mexico developed from his time spent cooking in the country that allow him to get regular shipments of hard to find ingredients, chef Johnny Curiel is a walking encyclopedia of authentic Mexican cooking techniques, recipes, and traditions that few others could ever hope to come close to rival in regards to talent, skill, and knowledge.
