Mexican food fest comes to Hyatt

The hotel’s executive chef Fernando Franco and his culinary team will be designing a special menu in collaboration with Mexican chef Louie Vargas Guerrero, from Hyatt Regency Houston.

During the festival patrons will be treated to entertainment by a six-piece mariachi band, Orgullo de Jalisco, direct from Guadalajara as well as delectable cuisine from an authentic Mexican-inspired menu.

Orgullo de Jalisco was founded in 2001 through the initiative of Jos? Mac?as Mariscal (Pepe Mariscal) in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, where mariachi culturally originated as a musical expression. The group’s members are: Jos? Mac?as Mariscal, Francisco Rogelio Uribe Villamar, Juan Carlos Gonz?lez Mora, Mario Ortiz S?nchez, Javier Alejandro Cabrales Pe?a and Carlos Mauricio Ortiz S?nchez.
