Born in Puerto Rico and raised in the premier kitchens of New York City, Chef Omar is fluent in the language of food.

He is a born and bred expert when it comes to all things culinary.

From Hard Rock Times Square to Universal Studios, House of Blues, Darden Group, Yard House, and TopGolf, Chef Omar has been at the helm of some of the biggest culinary brands in the world. He’s led massive operations, developed groundbreaking menus, and built teams that set new industry standards. His influence as an executive chef and culinary director extends to the Michelin stage, shaping the kitchens of Stubborn Seed and Marcus Samuelsson’s Red Rooster—restaurants that have defined Miami’s dining scene.

Now, as Corporate Executive Chef of Yes Hospitality Group, he’s bringing that same level of excellence, passion, and innovation to create dining experiences that leave a lasting mark.
