Catering

For Gonzalo Colin, cooking has always been about more than food—it is about memory, culture, and emotion.

His culinary journey began at home, surrounded by the flavors of Mexican tradition and international influences. At just sixteen, he arrived in New York and began his professional career at Indigo Restaurant as Garde Manger, where Chef Scott Bryan helped shape his understanding of discipline, technique, and culinary identity.

Over the years, Gonzalo refined his craft across some of New York and New Jersey’s most dynamic kitchens, developing a leadership style rooted in creativity, collaboration, and respect. His career brought him alongside acclaimed culinary figures such as David Waltuck and gave him the opportunity to create dining experiences for global brands including Google, Apple, Facebook, Nickelodeon, BET, and the New York Red Bulls, as well as renowned artists and personalities.

His passion for Mexican cuisine eventually inspired him to create Kahlo, a celebration of the strength and complexity of Mexican culture, followed by Arre Sinaloa, a bold tribute to the flavors of Northern Mexico.

Today, Gonzalo serves as Executive Chef at Tabú in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in partnership with Artesano Group. Inspired by the mysticism and energy of Tulum, Tabú brings together earth, fire, smoke, sea, and contemporary American cuisine through Gonzalo’s distinctive culinary perspective.

“When I cook, I imagine I’m feeding my family. That’s the secret ingredient.”

For Gonzalo, every dish is an opportunity to remember, honor, and create.
