Chef Information

Gustavo Romero

James Beard Nominated Chef and Co-Owner of Oro by Nixta

Chef Gustavo Romero is a James Beard-nominated chef and co-founder of Oro by Nixta, the Minneapolis restaurant celebrated for putting heirloom Mexican corn at the center of its cuisine. With roots in the central Mexican state of Hidalgo, Romero has dedicated his career to reviving traditional nixtamalization and showcasing centuries-old corn varieties—using them to craft everything from hand-pressed tortillas to innovative masa dishes that honor Indigenous foodways. At Oro by Nixta, his menus elevate heirloom corn from humble staple to culinary star while promoting sustainable agriculture and cultural heritage, earning him national recognition. His favorite things to do outdoors is to walk his dog, watch his son climb and kick a ball around. Oh, and eat.
