I bring BajaMed flavors to Arizona with contemporary Mexican cuisine.

Sebastián Zavala

I craft BajaMed cuisine from scratch with local soul

I was born in Guadalajara and spent most of my life in Baja California. At 22, I started cooking professionally and eventually moved to Valle de Guadalupe to create Corazá, a family project where I blend traditional recipes with the incredible ingredients of Baja. I build close relationships with small local producers and winemakers to honor the land and create meaningful, community-driven dining experiences.

I specialize in seafood and long-smoked meats, always cooked low and slow and made entirely from scratch. Today I bring the vibrant flavors of the Pacific and the desert to Arizona. I offer catering for 2 to 100 guests and personalized menus ranging from 3 to 7 courses—vegetarian, grilled, or seafood-focused—always seasonal, honest, and full of Baja character.

Let’s cook together

Cooking is love and passion—sharing dishes and flavors at the table.

What makes my cuisine unique

I cook with love and purpose

Cooking, for me, is love and passion. I cook to share dishes and flavors at the table, creating moments that bring people together.

I learned through family and constant practice

I have been cooking for 18 years, rooted in my grandmother’s recipes and shaped by experience in 20 restaurants across the region, including time working with the renowned Javier Placencia.

I honor the freshest local ingredients

I cook everything from scratch with a lot of love, using the freshest local products and pairing my dishes with Mexican wines, spirits, and craft beer.

Chef Sebastián’s Menus

I design seasonal BajaMed menus inspired by the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Cortez, and the desert. I offer seafood-driven experiences, slow-smoked meats, and vibrant vegetarian options. Whether you want a casual gathering or a multi-course dinner, I can create a 3–7 course personalized menu and cater for 2 to 100 guests.

Guest stories and testimonials

Chef Sabastian Zavala created an unforgettable dining experience for my best friend's 60th birthday dinner. The grilled octopus ceviche was absolutely outstanding and easily one of the best dishes I have ever had. Every course (5) was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, with plenty of left overs for the next day! He was open to changes courses to accommodate guest which food allergies. Chef Zavala was professional, warm and attentive. He always had a smile on his face and made everyone interested in the food that he was serving. I would highly recommend Chef Sabastian Zavala for any special occasion.
