About Me

My name is Atenea…

I am a Mexican chef based in sunny San Diego, where I live with my husband, two dogs, and two cats. I am passionate about exploring new flavors, traveling, and discovering exceptional local dining experiences.

Food, culture, and human connection are at the heart of everything I do. Generosity and understanding guide my work and my life.

Welcome to my world — where everything begins with love and a touch of sazón.

Planning a wedding and pretending I’m chill about it

Sharing the real journey of planning our wedding — the tips, the ideas, the chaos, and all the heart. 💍 From inspiration to “I do,” this is where I’ll document it all, one joyful (and sometimes messy) moment at a time. 💕

Coming soon…
