A Start Filled with Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Rodriguez, is a cook and co-owner of Mezlca. His\nstory started the opposite of what normally happens, since he had no experience\nor knowledge, both in the kitchen and in the hospitality business. For two and\na half years everything was chaos, for this brave entrepreneur, although, both\nhe and his partner (mother)\nhad plenty of desire and enthusiasm. However, Chef Alex Rodriguez decides to\ndo what he should have done from the beginning\u2026educate those desires and have\ngastronomic resources to solve any adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Journey Filled with Lessons and Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This entrepreneur grabbed his backpack and went to\ncooking school in Seville (Spain), to train as a culinary professional. On\nweekends he worked in a rice restaurant in a tourist area on the outskirts of\nthat Spanish city. However, the opportunity arose to practice in El Poblet in Valencia, at Chef\nQuique Dacosta\u2019s restaurant, which had 2 Michelin stars. Alex continues traveling until reaching\nMarbella City, specifically at the restaurant of renowned Chef Dani Garcia, who\nhad 3 Michelin\nstars. This journey of great learning and experiences helped Chef Alex make the\nchanges that the restaurant needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
