At GBOD Hospitality Group, we don’t just raise the bar — we blow the roof off.

It all started in 2012 with a spark - and Mezé Greek Fusion lit up San Diego’s Gaslamp. A few years later, hospitality powerhouse Joe Santos and Greek Chef Aleko Achtipes teamed up with brothers Raymond and Patrick Davoudi to take things way beyond mezze plates and moussaka.

While Patrick and Aleko ran the show at Mezé, Raymond and Joe were plotting the bigger picture - a full-blown hospitality empire. By 2016, GBOD Hospitality Group was officially established, taking over Prohibition and relaunching it alongside two bold new concepts - El Chingon and Havana 1920.

Fast-forward through a decade of wild nights, awards, and headline-making openings - GBOD has defined what it means to eat, drink, and party like a legend in San Diego and beyond.

Now? We’ve taken the mayhem to Fort Worth with El Chingon and La Chingona.

And the next stop? El Chingon Dallas is opening early 2026, with 2 more concepts on the way soon after.

But we don’t stop at our own game-changing venues. GBOD is the name you call when you want your hospitality vision turned into a knockout reality. From jaw-dropping interiors to menus that slap, from operational magic to team transformation, we’re the secret weapon for anyone ready to dominate the scene.
