Diego Hernández , The Chef Who Helped Valle Rewrite the Rules of Mexican Fine Dining

Diego Hernández helped put Valle de Guadalupe on the global fine dining map—and now he’s back with a new restaurant, a new vision, and the same devotion to Baja’s bounty. On this episode of Taqueando, Bill Esparza sits down with the chef behind the now-closed Corazón de Tierra to talk about his latest venture, Diego, inside Valle’s Museo de La Vid y El Vino. They dive into his roots, his fight to preserve the soul of the region, and the dishes that once wowed Anthony Bourdain. Plus: Diego shares his current wine and food recs in Ensenada and the Valle (and, in a rare twist, Bill actually agrees).
