Regino Rojas

The Essentials Regino Rojas works the line and the ownership side from Dallas, where Purépecha is the current kitchen tied to his name. The same city carries his earlier chef/owner posts at Purépecha Room and Revolver Taco Lounge, a paper trail that shows how the work has stayed anchored in one place while moving through different rooms under Rojas’s direction.

Signature

Crema Amarrila and Gaspacho michoacano sit in Regino Rojas’s signature set, the kind of named dishes that mark a chef’s hand more clearly than a résumé line. They point to the specific plate vocabulary associated with Purépecha and the earlier Dallas rooms that also carried his name.

Recognition

Regino Rojas has received James Beard Award, Best Chef in the Southwest (2018).
