ABOUT

Driven by passion, Jaime worked his way through every station—prep, line, and beyond—refining his skills and reconnecting with the traditional flavors of his roots. To him, cooking has always been more than food; it is culture, memory, and a way to honor where he comes from Guadalajara.In 2026, that journey came full circle with the opening of Rio Viejo Cocina de México in downtown Worcester—a space built on authenticity, family recipes, and years of relentless dedication.Today, Chef Jaime carries forward a promise rooted in tradition: to serve every dish with the freshest ingredients, true Mexican flavor, and the highest standard of quality—so every guest experiences not just a meal, but a story.
