Since his arrival at Pechanga about a year ago, Chef Ortiz has introduced the small plate concept, inspired by his Spanish heritage, with a focus on wonderful, fresh ingredients. He has lived and worked in Spain, France and Italy, and most recently was the chef at two of the most famous casino buffets in Las Vegas. Pechanga is located in Temecula, California, about an hour from almost anywhere in San Diego, Riverside and Orange counties.Ĭhef Ortiz brings a wealth of international culinary experience to Pechanga.
Under the creative leadership of Chef Frank Ortiz, the buffet offers guests innovative and internationally inspired dishes that you would not normally expect in a casino buffet. The buffet at Pechanga Resort and Casino is not just any casino buffet.
