Chef Mendicuti has extensive experience and worked in Sayulita & Riviera Nayarit for 8 years as a private chef in the professional restaurant industry, traveling throughout the Riviera.

The BEST food, and just a delightful experience.

Cecilia and her team made our trip to Sayulita feel truly decadent! She treated us to delicious food and great conversation in the comfort of our home, which was so relaxing and wonderful. With many menus to choose from, and the ability to “mix and match” to fit our family’s tastes, Cecilia truly has it all. She shopped for fresh ingredients each day for the meals we selected. We feasted on shrimp ceviche, homemade tortilla soup, mahi mahi filets, and chicken enchiladas, just to name a few. Even our children loved every bite! If you have the chance, be sure to book Cecilia for your next trip to Sayulita, you will be SO glad you did!

AMAZING MEALS!

We had such an amazing time with Chef Cecilia and her team. She cooked two delicious meals for our group of 10 in Sayulita. She even cooked the Mahi Mahi we caught on our fishing trip :)

Superb--best, freshest food in Sayulita

Chef Cecilia and her wonderful assistant Blanca cooked for us on the last night of our 8-day stay in Sayulita. We had eaten at what are supposed to be the best restaurants in town, and Cecilia blew them away. She had shopped that afternoon, so everything was absolutely fresh. The evening was both perfect and perfectly chill. She and Blanca are lovely people, professional and kind, and they created a very special evening for four of us. She is multi-talented, and every dish--from classics like the guacamole and tortilla soup (a highlight!) to the flourless chocolate cake (she also runs a bakery) were top notch. And after all that deliciousness, while we basked in it, they made the kitchen impeccable. Easily the best night of our vacation. Highly recommended and very reasonable prices (don't forget to tip!). We'll definitely enlist them again when we return.

Loved them!!

We were able to book Ceclia for a dinner the same day. She and her husband delivered and prepared great food for a party of 12. Saved me from having to shop and prepare food for 12 at the last minute!! Great service, reasonable price-all our guests loved the food. And we enjoyed the leftovers!! I highly recommend her services!!!

Highly recommend

Chef Cecilia and her team are top notch. Cecilia was very responsive via email. She sent us some pre-set meals and we mixed and matched from all of them. Make sure to include sides of you want them and tortillas. The food was amazing and super fresh. We were a group of over 13 and it was nice for all of us to be able to get out of the craziness of Sayulita restaurants and eat together as a group in our villa. She even provided us with a bartender!

Excellent food and service

We had a group of ten dudes so it was tough for us to all get a chance to sit down and eat together. Thankfully Cecilia and her team were able to cook for us after a long day on the water. Their food was fresh and delicious and the service was second to none. If I'm lucky enough to get back to Sayulita in the future, I'll be sure to reach back out to Cecilia.
