The Engineering Tiger Restaurateur!
XAVIER GODOY A life-long love for food combined with the desire to build a unique brand culture and give people an opportunity to develop to their fullest potential fueled Xavier to build Mastrantos alongside his wife Mari. Xavierโs journey toward opening the restaurant involves many countries, diverse job roles, and a lot of soul searching. At 17 years old, he moved from his home country of Venezuela to Arizona to learn English. Then, a tennis scholarship took him to Texas, where he earned his undergraduate degree as an Electrical Engineer. Next, a 15-year career in oil and gas swept him around the world from Chile to Trinidad and Tobago to Colombia to Beaumont, Texas to Mexico , though Houston always remained his home base. He conducted his life and work life under the motto of always challenging the status quo, but it wasnโt until 2016 when he was able to leave the oil and gas industry behind and pursue his ultimate goal; this is when he set his eyes on creating something enlivening. With the realization that hospitality was his passion, he got to work making his vision a reality. Xavierโs friend John Reed, the restaurateur behind BCK Kitchen, took him under his wing and gave him a dishwasher job (which eventually turned into a kitchen job) for Xavier to learn first-hand what the grueling industry entails. As a follow-up to that, he worked for nearly a year producing pasta and intimate dinners for close friends and family in order to sustain his family prior to Mastrantos opening; their savings had been poured into Mastrantos. The rest is history. Xavier approaches life just as he approaches any tennis match at Club Westside: by fighting like a tiger on any โcourtโ heโs on. His wife and kids are his first passion and he loves to spend his free time staying in shape .
