Chef Diego Garcia’s Scallops served over delicata squash mole amarillo (a traditional Mexican yellow mole), alongside a squash blossom stuffed with requesón (a soft, fresh Mexican cheese) and epazote, a fragrant Mexican herb. Finished with a petite habanero and guava salad.

Chef Diego Garcia’s fresh take on aguachile. Spanish mackerel paired with xoconostle (sour prickly pear) aguachile, xoconostle cheong, avocado, watermelon radish, and pápalo. Loving the colors on this dish!

Chef Diego Garcia’s story is one of survival, identity and finding a way forward.

At 15, he was sleeping in the New York City subway. The kitchen became his way out. Years later, the lessons of those early restaurants, his Mexican roots and the traditions passed down through his family continue to shape the chef, father and business owner he is today.

This is a story about much more than food.

Chef Diego Garcia’s connection to food began long before he entered a professional kitchen.

After his father was deported from New York, his family returned to Mexico, where Diego learned a tradition passed from his grandfather to his father: butchering goats and preparing barbacoa for the mercado.

Today, that history continues to shape the way he cooks.

For this dish, Diego pairs Spanish mackerel with a bright, fruit-forward xoconostle aguachile, watermelon radish, avocado, pápalo and marigolds. Fatty fish meets acidity, freshness and ingredients deeply connected to Mexican cuisine.

“My father passed it down to me, and now I carry that with me.”

At 15, Chef Diego Garcia was sleeping in the New York City subway.

The kitchen gave him another direction.

French restaurants, farmers markets, mentors and a growing obsession with ingredients became more than a career. They became a way forward.

Today, Diego brings those experiences together with his Mexican roots as chef and owner of Cote and Flame Private Events & Catering in Tampa.

“The kitchen really did save me.”

From the industry. For the industry.

Special thanks to Richard Starke and Olivia Ward from Halperns’ Steak & Seafood Orlando for supplying the #Scallops for this dish!

September has been a special month 🇲🇽

From celebrating Mexican Independence Day and sharing Chile en Nogada, a dish that carries so much history and tradition, to having my work featured on Telemundo and Centro Tampa.

As a Mexican chef, moments like these mean a lot to me. Food has always been more than what’s on the plate. It’s culture, memories, family, and a way to tell the story of where we come from.

Grateful for everyone who continues to support me, CÔTE & FLAME, and what we’re building here in Tampa Bay.

Proud of where I come from. Excited for where we’re going.

Viva México 🇲🇽

Big thank you to these people! @juanposadatv

One year of Côte & Flame. 🤍

One year of turning ingredients into experiences, tables into memories, and celebrations into something you’ll remember long after the last plate is cleared.

To everyone who trusted us with their table this past year: thank you.

Here’s a little look back at year one. 🥂

Cheers to year two. 🔥
