“Each year, the Gordons host a legendary four-hour Oscars party for a couple dozen guests. Paco is the featured chef whose culinary gifts, amiable and witty company, and efficient catering that considers the many individual gastronomical idiosyncrasies of our gathering, combine for a splendid evening that outshines even the Hollywood celebrities on view in the screening room. Paco can accomplish that wizardry as deftly as he can a seated formal dinner for 12. He is my secret weapon for delivery of flawlessly prepared, delicious meals. My guests adore Paco nearly as much as I do, and there is no one with whom I would rather plan and deconstruct a party either!”
— Leila Gordon, Chevy Chase
“For the past few years, our extended family has had the immense pleasure of having Paco join us on our annual vacation, and he has become one of the highlights of our trip.
Cooking for a large group with a variety of dietary restrictions is not easy, but Paco handles it with remarkable skill, care, and creativity. From gluten-free and vegan needs to food allergies and picky eaters, he somehow manages to make every single person feel seen and satisfied. His meals are not only delicious but also beautifully presented and thoughtfully tailored.
One of the things we love most is how he sources local, in-season ingredients. He explores the area’s farmers markets and shops to create meals that are exceptional.
Beyond his culinary talents, Paco is kind, calm, and great with all of the kids. His presence brings a sense of ease to the whole experience. He blends seamlessly into the rhythm of our family.
Our vacations are more relaxing and far more delicious thanks to him. We truly can’t imagine our family vacation without Paco!”

“Paco has been the heart of our retreat kitchens for the past 16 years. His food is consistently delicious, nourishing, and made with such care that it elevates the entire experience. He brings a calm, joyful presence to everything he does—always prepared, always gracious, and somehow making the most complex meals look effortless. Everyone loves him, and so do I.”
