| The
Gecko Mama (Sarah) was born in Chihuahua Mexico and
learned to cook many of her dishes in Guanajuato Mexico.
The different regions in Mexico and the different dishes
that are distinctive to each region have always fascinated
Sarah. Our Marisco dishes are a tribute to the various
seaport towns in Mexico especially the Puerta Vallarta
area. Our Mole', is Guanajuato style and is not as sweet
as the style of Mole'. The Chile Relleno is a recipe
that Sarah learned from her many trips to Mexico learning
the traditional methods of cooking dishes from native
cooks that were famous locally for their family recipe.

Sarah
for many years has worked in the San Jose area as a
Paralegal and gained a family reputation as a gourmet
cook. Sarah was influenced and is a student of the Julia Child
method of cooking. She has worked with a professional
French chef that ran a locally famous French restaurant
and has incorporated French sauces at times in her specials
of the day. Sarah's flan is made with a Gran Marnier
sauce and has been influenced by her love of French
sauces. Sarah also loves Italian food and has incorporated
traditional Italian recipes in her pasta Mojo de Ajo
and other Italian/Mex dishes. |
| The
Gecko Papa (Bob) grew up eating New Mexican dishes that
his mother learned from her mother growing up in New
Mexico. The New Mexico enchiladas and Chile Verde dishes
are based upon traditional New Mexico recipes. The Mexican
Lasagna plate is Sarah's fusion of New Mexican enchiladas
and the traditional lasagna without the pasta. Bob loves
to BBQ and the BBQ oysters are a tribute to a Jaramillo
family recipe improved by Sarah and perfected by her
son Juan. Bob has also spent considerable time devoted
to the study of the fruit of the Agave plant and has
spent numerous years evaluating the various nuance's
of Anejo, Reposado and Plata tequila's and is willing
to share that experience with our bar patrons. |
Bob and Sarah have for numerous years loved wine with
Sarah's French and Italian dishes and more recently
discovered the way good wine enhances the Gecko's Mexican
dishes. One of the wonderful experience's of owning
a restaurant is the opportunity to meet people in the
food and wine industry. We recently had Maria Robledo
and her daughter Vanessa of the Robledo Family Winery
(Napa/Carneros wine region) match their wine with our
Gecko Mexican dishes. Our new wine list proudly lists
numerous Robledo wines and our suggestions in matching
Robledo wines to our menu. |
| GRACIAS
Y VAYA CON DIOS,
Bob & Sarah Jaramillo |
