Increíble Chef!

Ana Cecilia helped me with making meal prep which was very specific. She had experience doing so which made it so easy and simple. She weighed and portioned everything out for me. I highly recommend her! She’s a local family run business.

10/10 would recommend!

We had the best experience with Cecilia and Josue! A delicious taco bar and bartending service at our rented house made our first night in Sayulita pretty perfect. Excellent communication, arrived on time, super accommodating, friendly and did I mention how good the food was?! 10/10 would recommend and will call her again next time we are in town.

Chef Ana was awesome!

Great food and super flexible on allergy substitutions. She was engaging, yet expertly respectful to the ebb & flow of discussions in our group. Highly recommend and would definitely book her again!

Amazing food for welcome party!

Ana was amazing for our wedding welcome party in Sayulita - her crew showed up an hour early and prepared a taco buffet for everyone and then cleaned up and washed all dishes after the event. Everyone was so nice and helpful and the food was AMAZING! So many of our guests shared how much they loved the tacos and all the different sauces and salsas prepared. Would highly recommend hiring Ana - everything was so smooth and stress free and we just got to enjoy yummy food :)

I cannot say enough positive things about Cecilia!

She was not only a wonderful chef - cooking amazing cuisine - but she catered our meals to both kids and adults! She was also incredibly kind in helping us navigate the area and bringing in any additional items we wanted for our villa (Wine, Kid Snacks, Coke, Diet Coke, Eggs, Milk etc....).

Her meals were carefully thought out and DELICIOUS!!! Our favorite was her red chile pork and chilequiles! So much so that we changed her menu to be able to eat both a 2nd time! She also made from scratch several salsas that were to die for (with varying heat levels)!!! Cecilia quickly became a friend and we can't wait to be back in the area and have her cook for our family!

Besides her amazing cooking skills I admired her timeliness to respond (she was incredibly fast). She was also very helpful and patient in providing her information to our hotel to allow her on property (which is quite a process) but she didn't seem to mind at all. Not to mention our family was able to have meals together in our villa and didn't have to drag our kids into restaurants - which was AMAZING!!! We also had her bring a Barman (Francisco) that did an amazing job and provided tasty drinks! We learned the real way to drink rum and coke. And... during my Aunt's 60th Birthday Celebration she went out of her way to make sure everything (Mariachi and all) were executed perfectly! She also fed the entire mariachi!!!!!!!!

CECELIA IS THE BEST!
