An Unforgettable Meal in Sayulita!
Dining with Chef Queztal from Alta Mar Catering in Sayulita was truly one of the highlights of my trip. From the very first bite, it was clear that everything was prepared with incredible care, fresh local ingredients, and a deep knowledge of regional flavors.
What stood out most was how personalized the experience felt. Before the meal, Chef Quetzal asked about our favorite flavors and if any dietary restrictions. We mentioned that we enjoy fresh seafood, bold spices, but try to limit dairy. The menu that followed was nothing short of amazing—every dish felt like it was crafted just for me and our guests and conveniently prepared in our rented villa.
Beyond the food, the experience itself was so special. Chef Quetzal took time to explain the origins of ingredients, sharing how they honor local traditions while also experimenting with modern techniques. The in-home dining experience was restaurant quality with a professional chef who shared their passion for cooking.
I left the table not only full but also inspired—reminded of how food can tell the story of a place and its culture. My group of well traveled friends were so impressed — we rebooked Alta Mar for Brunch the following day! If you’re visiting Sayulita and want more than just a typical restaurant outing, I cannot recommend this experience enough and you need to book Alta Mar Catering!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A must-do in Sayulita for anyone who loves fresh, flavorful, and meaningful food!

Encantada!
Hicimos nuestra boda en Sayulita y vimos un paquete de bodas que decidimos probar y superó todas nuestras expectativas. Los canapés, la cena, la barra libre, todo nos encantó. Los cocteles fueron un éxito total, los meseros fueron muy amables. Quetzal y su equipo cuidaron cada detalle. Nuestros invitados no pararon de hablar de la comida! Los recomendamos completamente.

Nourishment, Kindness, and Grace—Exactly When We Needed It Most
After months of planning with another chef who assured me she had everything under control, things took an unfortunate turn when she left us in the middle of the retreat, creating a stressful and chaotic situation I never anticipated.
Enter Chef Quetzal—who stepped in with less than 12 hours’ notice and completely transformed the experience.
From the moment he arrived, everything shifted. He brought warmth, calm, and fun into the kitchen, setting the tone with his positive energy and professionalism. He served us a beautiful breakfast that morning—fresh, flavorful, and far superior to what we’d been served earlier in the week. He even took the time to add a happy face to our to-go breakfasts on the final day, which says everything about his heart and attention to detail.
Quetzal catered seamlessly to every dietary request—gluten-free, vegetarian, allergies, and more—all with zero lead time. He finished every remaining meal for the retreat, ran out for last-minute groceries—even navigating a late dinner and early breakfast when the local stores weren’t even open yet—and did it all with ease and grace.
If this is what he can do last-minute, I can only imagine how exceptional the experience would have been if I had hired him from the start. Lesson learned—I’ll be using Chef Quetzal for all of my future retreats.

Best Bartender in Sayulita!
Quetzal and his crew were truly amazing as bartenders for our wedding! We had about 40 guests and they brought 5 workers to man the bar. They were impressively fast at making high quality cocktails - none of my guests had to wait in a line and the drinks were perfect.
We were able to choose 10 cocktails and my guests were raving about every single one! We especially loved the espresso martinis, passion sayulita and passionfruit mojitos, but you truly couldn’t go wrong with any of them. We had the option to choose if we wanted to supply our own alcohol or if we wanted them to bring it. We elected the latter and Quetzal brought high quality tequila for shots without being asked! They went down almost too easily 😂
Quetzal and his crew were also professional and personable, and even were up to have some fun when we invited them to join! Quetzal truly went above and beyond with helping organize our event. Our dessert plans fell through and Quetzal offered a backup dessert plan for us!
If you are looking for a bartender for any celebration, you will not regret working with Alta Mar! Thank you so much Quetzal for all your effort and for fueling our crazy night!

Favorite Experience of Our Trip
After a week long stay in Sayulita, my friends and I had the pleasure of hiring Quetzal and his amazing staff to help cater our pool party. Not only were the drinks, food, and variety incredibly, but the genuine care that each and every one of the staff expressed really was the cherry on top for a perfect afternoon/evening. Thank you Quetzal for your incredibly well rounded night that none of us will forget!
