Victor Mena
Owner, Executive Chef
Born and raised in Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico, Victor Mena’s culinary journey began in his youth. His Mexican heritage plays a pivotal role in his approach to cooking, and the love his mother poured into preparing meals for the family instilled in him a profound passion for fostering a sense of community through food.
Mena began his journey at Super Mega Bien as a line cook when the restaurant first opened its doors in 2018, progressing to chef in 2019 and taking an ownership role in the restaurant alongside his wife Jenn in 2023. Before his time at Super Mega Bien, Victor held various positions at renowned Denver-area establishments, working alongside his mentor, James Beard-recognized chef, Dana Rodriguez, at many of them. Mena served as a line cook at Work & Class, sous chef at Rioja and chef de cuisine at Root Down, Linger and Willow Creek restaurant in Evergreen.
For Mena the essence of his role at Super Mega Bien lies in passing on the knowledge he’s gained from his culinary mentors and experiences to his kitchen crew. His approach centers around supporting a well-educated, cohesive team.
Outside of work, he finds joy in playing soccer, exploring the scenic beauty of Colorado’s mountains with his family and indulging in his passion for movies, with a particular fondness for movies in the Marvel and “Star Wars” universes.
