Meet Chef de Cuisine Jose Santos
What is the story behind your business' name?

The name behind the business , "El Chef Mobile Kitchen,” was created back in 2015. I held a family gathering where I cooked a variety of dishes that include grilled pressed paninis, steak tacos, and quesadillas. The feedback from everyone was positive. This created a great impact for me to push it forward and start looking for better opportunities. My wife and I started to work at farmers markets where people responded very well to the products. I started to book and cater special events that included birthdays, weddings and backyard celebrations. Following our passion and being consistent was important to both of us. I decided to create a mobile kitchen on wheels. My wife and I took catering business to a different level on purchasing a thirty-five foot trailer to operate at fairs and major events in LA County. El Chef continues to deliver consistency flavors and stunning dishes for customers to enjoy in all Fair grounds and special events. The menu consists of Tex Mex, Mexican, American, Vegetarian, Vegan and popular specialty items that have put El Chef ahead among other vendors.
