Gerardo Rivera

A chef for nearly three decades, it may come as little surprise that Gerardo Rivera loves to eat well. Check out his Instagram feed and you’ll know why: his photos of dry-aged beef and machaca burritos in freshly made flour tortillas will make you want to join this Mexican chef wherever he goes. At home, he is the executive chef at Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos All Inclusive Golf & Spa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and corporate chef at Posadas for its Live Aqua, Grand Fiesta Americana and Fiesta Americana brands. A recipient of numerous rewards who has opened successful restaurants like La Fenêtre and Sales y Soles in Mexico City, his proudest achievement is helping position Mexico as a culinary destination par excellence.
