Maroma Resort and Spa introduces new executive Chef

In this role, Chef Loza will oversee the culinary operations for the award-winning resort, including the resort’s fine-dining restaurant El Sol.

With extensive expertise in the cuisine of Mexico, Chef Loza blends a passion for traditional and local flavors with a desire to preserve the rich traditions of the Mexican culture. He plans to bring that philosophy to the resort’s culinary offering, working with the area’s finest local suppliers to integrate the freshest local flavors and ingredients.

“Food is an important part of Mexican culture with family recipes being passed on from generation to generation,” said Loza. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of the family at Maroma, providing our guests with a culinary experience that celebrates the traditions of the Yucatan and complements the luxury and elegance of the resort.”

Chef Loza’s authentic style blends classic Mexican preparations with the casual street food of Mexico City, creating elegant dishes with true authentic essence. Signature dishes include braised short ribs with tamarind and smoked sweet potato purée, Lobster enchilada with homemade mole sauce and local Yucatan inspired dish soft shell crab Tikin Xic with achiote, habanero, avocado and citrus salad.

Previously, Chef Loza served as the Executive Chef at Jumby Bay, a Rosewood Resort off the coast of Antigua. He also distinguished himself at several of Mexico City’s most acclaimed restaurants, including Restaurant Le Cirque, Restaurant Ciboulette and Restaurant L’Olivier. In 2005, Chef Loza was awarded first place in “Best Mexican Young Chef”—a national contest of traditional and contemporary Mexican cuisine. He is a graduate of Escuela Internacional de Turismo with a degree in hotel and tourism management.
