Meet the Chef
Chef Oceguera's culinary journey is deeply rooted in the fusion of traditional Latin American flavors and California's locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. Raised in Chula Vista, San Diego County, Chef Oceguera brings more than 15 years of culinary leadership experience to his role. His formative years spent working in his father's Tijuana-based catering company provide a unique foundation for Rumorosa's development. The restaurant is poised to showcase reimagined Baja-California cuisine, featuring all-day classics alongside inventive and authentic Baja dishes, complemented by Valle harvested wines and agave-forward spirits. Beyond Rumorosa, Chef Oceguera will play a pivotal role in shaping three additional concepts, including a Southern California brewery, a relaxed pool lounge, and an onsite grab-and-go marketplace, all set to open in 2024, solidifying Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina as a culinary destination on the West Coast.
