Our Story
Born from Passion. Built on Craft.
Three Cocinas. One unwavering commitment to excellence across Dallas–Fort Worth.
The Beginning
Where Heritage Meets Hospitality
Juan Sanchez is the Executive Chef of 3 Cocinas in Dallas, Texas. He grew up in the heart of Dallas, Texas living and breathing food. At a young age he developed a passion for cooking by going to his family gatherings, being inspired by the way his mother cooked in the kitchen. While he was attending school he started at the bottom working for restaurants such as TGI Friday's, Chili's, Rj Mexican Cuisine, Butchershop Steak House. Since 2001 he has been a major contributor to the opening of different concepts such as 311Kitchen & Cocktails, Chet's, Moak's BBQ, MAS Street Tacos, SeaDogs, Liam's Steak House and Patrizio's Pasta. Now he has taken on a new venture of his own with the role as the Owner/Executive Chef for 3 Cocinas bringing new and exciting food to your table.
What began as a passion project in the heart of Dallas has grown into one of the DFW metroplex's most trusted catering partners — serving Fortune 500 companies, intimate weddings, and everything in between with the same level of care and artistry.
We don't just feed people. We create moments they carry with them long after the last plate is cleared.
— Founder, 3 Cocinas Catering
