Megan Sanchez is the Chef and Co-Owner of Güero, in Portland, Oregon. Her culinary journey began in her Northwest childhood home, at the table of her Egyptian mother and Mexican father. There, dinnertime was an education in entertaining guests, often bringing gifted cooks--grandparents, friends from overseas--into the kitchen. As an adult, Sanchez continued her gastronomic study during time spent living in France and working in agriculture and cheesemaking.
In 2013, Sanchez, with her partner Alec Morrison, opened Güero in a vintage Silver Streak trailer. The tortería soon earned local and national acclaim, and in 2017, it found a new, larger home just three blocks from its original location. Today, Sanchez sits at the helm of this unique restaurant dedicated to the unsung hero of Mexican street food, and to the Sanchez family tradition of warm hospitality.
