Our Story
My name is Guillermo Gonzalez (Memo) locally known as the food delivery guy, besides being a ninja food delivery, I am also a passionate chef. I started my culinary path at the IUFM de Versailles in France after two years working and studying in France I went back to Mexico, I made my way in a couple resorts in Cabo and Playa del Carmen. Finally in 2013 I came to Canada and here is where I discovered pub food. I spent a few years in Edmonton and a few years in Whistler after that I came to the island to work at the Bowen Island Pub. After a year I launched “Food on Bowen” a food delivery service but the kitchen kept calling to me. Two years ago I, found the opportunity to cook at the Bowen Golf course where I was given the freedom to exercise and re-discovered my passion for cooking.
I describe Mexican-ish as my most honest cooking. A mix of experiences, places, techniques and amazing people who have influenced my cuisine.
I’m really happy to share what I believe I do the best with you.

Our menu changes quite often,
