Cuisine is more than a career for Gregorio Huerta, it’s a passion.

Gregorio began his journey into culinary arts as a prep cook at the Surf and Sand Resort in 1993 and immediately fell in love with the art of cuisine. Under the mentorship of some of the most knowledgeable and skilled chefs in the country, Gregorio dedicated countless hours to perfecting his craft, and developed a keen attention to detail in the process. Gregorio is a true American success story - becoming the head chef at Tivoli Too under Laguna Beach icon June Neptune, a Sous Chef under Craig Strong at Terra Laguna Beach, and ultimately, the Executive Chef at Terra Laguna Beach in 2023.

Gregorio treats his team like family - and has even brought his two children, Michelle and Victor, onto his team as well. Gregorio’s staff would describe him as somebody who takes pride in his work, who leads by example, and who truly cares for the well being of every person on his team. Gregorio creates a positive atmosphere in his kitchen, and passes that positive energy onto every person he has the privilege of creating cuisine for.

Gregorio and his team look forward to impressing you with their cuisine at Terra Laguna Beach!
