Amazing food and service!!!
Doris and her team were absolutely amazing! We had her cook 3 meals at the Casablanca "main house" and each one was unique and delicious. The ceviche was so fresh and beautifully presented. The guac and desserts to die for. I will definitely be booking her next year.

Incredible meals!
Doris was easy to communicate with and she and Jorge cooked 3 incredible meals for our group of 9. The food was absolutely amazing and they were always on time and left the kitchen sparkling when they were finished. I highly recommend the fish fajitas and the plantains! I think they were my favorite. And the rice she makes!! So simple but incredible. Her cooking was definitely some of the highlights of our trip. Thank you Doris!!!! We hope to see you again when we return!

Best decision of our entire trip was hiring Doris!
We hired Doris and her son to cook breakfasts and dinners for us for an entire week. It was the best decision of our vacation! They are splendid cooks!

We're vegetarian, and they had no problem crafting amazing local cuisine without using any meat. The meals were absolutely enormous - we could never manage to eat lunch because of how much food they fed us!

Breakfasts were heuvos rancheros or chilaquiles or mushroom breakfast burritos with platters of fresh fruit, sliced breads or cakes, yogurt and granola, and other delicious sides. Dinners involved appetizers, sopes, mole enchiladas, tacos, taquitos, pepper and elote empanadas, nopales salad, etc. with lots of sides, sauces, and dessert. They even served us cocktails and various non-alcohol drinks for the kids.

Our children loved the food so much that our 11 year old daughter asked why we ever had to go back to eating American food!

I have a super sensitive stomach but they washed everything so well that we never had to worry about anything. They were also so pleasant and kind. In short, we ate like royalty and their service was amazing. The cost was incredibly reasonable given the amount and quality of the food. Will definitely hire again when we return to Sayulita!

Bio Please mention SayulitaLife
Doris Rivera lives just outside Sayulita. She grew up in a traditional Mexican home and was exposed from an early age to the flavors of the region. Her "training" occurred when she was a young wife and mom, cooking for her family. Despite looking after four children, she found artistry and perfectionism in the kitchen. Never content, always striving to improve her skill, she bought and borrowed regional cookbooks, and practiced all the recipes, again and again. Eventually, she began to experiment and find her own "voice" as a chef. Later, working as a cleaning woman for a vacation rental in Sayulita, Doris was "discovered" when guests asked her to cook. Person after person commented in amazement that the best meal they had in Sayulita was the one made by the "cleaning woman." In her quiet and simple way, by preparing beautiful meals that speak for themselves, Doris has made a name for herself. The demand for her services grew to the point that it is now a full-time job. Please note that Doris only speaks Spanish, but she knows how to use translator apps and enjoys working with clients who speak other languages!
