Beto Estúa and Jorge Fritz
Beto’s story in the kitchen started more out of necessity than out of curiosity. His parents were Epicureans, so he was exposed to very good–and finer–foods as well as traditional Mexican flavors from early on. Born into a family of restaurateurs, Jorge has also been immersed in the industry since he was a boy. Beto and Jorge continued their culinary education learning from family, studying at prestigious schools and traveling around Mexico. Their passion led to cofounding the Casa Jacaranda cookery school in 2014 in Mexico City, where it became the top-rated culinary experience. After a successful seven-year run, the Casa Jacaranda team moved to Guadalajara in Jalisco in early 2022, where they put together their passion for regional cuisine with their love for Mexico’s agave spirits.
