⎯ A NOMADIC PAN-AMERICAN CULINARY CARAVANUnrepeatable meals,
wherever
the road leads.
Recipes gathered across South & Central America, set to the bounty of the California Central Coast — at your table, for one night only.
⎯ SIX ROADS ⎯
Where shall we set the table?
Every journey with the Colectivo begins by choosing your road.
Each one leads somewhere worth gathering.
Weddings
Long tables, string lights, and a menu built around your story — barn celebrations and garden weddings alike.
Small Dinner Tasting
An intimate, multi-course story told at a single table — Diego and the collective cook beside you, course after course.
Family Style Catering
Big platters, shared plates, and a table that never runs empty — feasts built for gatherings of any size.
Cooking Classes
Hands in the masa. Learn the techniques and stories behind Pan-American cooking, guided by the caravan itself.
Asado Argentino
Live fire, slow-cooked meats, and the ritual of the Argentine asado — brought to your backyard, ranch, or private event.
Wine Tasting Pairing
A guided journey through South American vineyards, paired course by course with dishes built to match.
Wherever the next
table is set — join us.
Tell us about your gathering.
We'll bring the recipes, the road, and the whole collective.
⎯ WHY DIEGO
A chef worth building
your night around.
Diego has spent years gathering techniques and traditions from across Latin America — recipes carried in memory, not cookbooks — and turning them into ancestral, unrepeatable meals."We cook the story of a place — its land, its soil, its hands."
— Diego, Chef & Founder, Colectivo Felix
Today those techniques meet 18 partner farms across the Central Coast and a decade of tables built one dinner at a time — work featured in The New York Times and VICE, and trusted for 240+ private events and counting.
240+ nights.
Hosted across the Bay Area — each one built around trust, not just a menu.
Where we've been — and where we're headed.
