This summer, Oceanside’s contemporary Mexican fine-dining restaurant Valle earned its first Michelin star, making it San Diego County’s only Mexican restaurant to be given one of the most prestigious awards in the culinary world. Here’s how Valle did it.
Chef Alcocer is not sure why his restaurant received a Michelin star.
"As a kid, you can dream to meet Mickey Mouse, but if you don't go to Disneyland, it's kind of hard to make it happen," Alcocer said.Why are there no Michelin star restaurants in Mexico? "It's so hard to replicate if you're out of the city or state. It's really hard. It's so diverse," he said. "In Mexico, we love to eat and we live to eat," Alcocer said. You can eat delicious food 24/7 in Mexico since there are so many options, he added.
"And the flavors [of the same chili] are so different. And the uses for them are so, so different. And that same chili is called something different in summer than in winter," Alcocer said. A wide range of climates cover Mexico, from rainforest to desert, to wine country."So what I love about Mexico is that," Alcocer said.
