Meet the father and son behind Juan Griego — and the four generations of Argentine fire that
shaped everything they do.
Marcelo grew up in Cordoba, Argentina. From the age of four, he stood at the asado beside his father — not watching. Helping. Feeling the heat, reading the flame, learning the patience that fire demands.
That knowledge didn’t come from a school. It came from four generations of asadores who believed that cooking over fire is how you bring people together.
He carried that fire to Costa Rica. In Tamarindo, he found the place to share it — and brought his son Gaston into the flame alongside him.
To create moments people remember long after the meal ends. Every fire we light. Every dish we serve. Every story we share at your table.
We cook the way our ancestors taught us. Patience, fire, and respect for the process.
We cook in your space. We explain every step. Food is how we connect.
Only the finest ingredients. Only techniques that have been tested by generations.
This is not work. This is who we are. That energy is in every flame, every plate we serve.
Raised watching his father at the fire, he grew into the craft naturally. Fresh energy. Deep roots. The same fire-first philosophy — and a precision that makes every plate exceptional.
Raised in Cordoba. Trained by four generations of asadores. Cooking over fire since the age of four. Decades of technique, and an unshakeable love of feeding people.
