After working for decades at our sister bakery, Ramon Santana was excited to flex his baking skills when Tia Maria opened in 2018. He’s truly enjoyed developing the Mexican-inspired baked goods of Tia Maria. His commitment to quality is evident each time a new guest discovers Tia Maria and tries the conchas for the first time. Guests often rave these conchas are fresh and fluffy. Ramon takes great pride in baking the Rosca de Reyes each year to be savored by families throughout Sonoma County. He was also the one to use orange peels when crafting the Pan de Muerto recipe for Tia Maria. Every day, Ramon manages his team for the best quality and consistency.

Chef Jorge joined the Tia Maria team in 2022 after his tenure at Campo Fina. His team creates all the sandwiches and salads available in our cold case. Shortly after Chef joined the team, he created the Breakfast Burrito which quickly became a Sonoma County favorite.
