About Chef Omayra Lopez

Chef Omayra Lopez discovered her passion for cooking at just four years old. Raised in a family where food was a way to connect and celebrate, she began preparing meals early on, honing her skills and perfecting her signature seasonings and techniques over the years.

Her heritage, deeply rooted in Puerto Rican culture, inspired her to share a taste of Puerto Rico in Los Angeles through her venture, The Triple Threat Food Truck.

For the past four years, this food truck has been a community hub for Boricuas in LA, celebrated as the city’s only Puerto Rican food truck and gaining attention from media outlets like Buzzfeed’s Pero Like and The Cooking Channel’s Food Truck Nation.

Chef Omayra’s culinary journey has also been one of notable achievements. She and her husband, George, won $12,000 on Guy’s Grocery Games on The Food Network, a victory that is frequently showcased on the channel. Her daughter Maria, a skilled young chef herself, made a mark on MasterChef Jr. at age seven and now contributes her own flan creation to the dessert menu.

Chef Omayra recently achieved a new milestone with the opening of Rumba Kitchen, her first brick-and-mortar restaurant in LA’s Little Tokyo. This location offers guests an immersive Puerto Rican experience, celebrating flavors and culture straight from the island.
