Amazing Meals
Our entire family of 16 was in Sayulita for a week and Doris and Jorge cooked dinner for us four of the nights. The food was fresh, delicious and authentic. In our minds nothing beats Doris!

Two AMAZING lunches from Doris and her crew!
We were in town for a wedding and had Doris and her crew prepare two amazing lunches at our villa. The menus offered a number of options and the food was phenomenal. They showed up on time, began prepping the meals and instantly the entire kitchen smelled wonderful. Communication was great throughout and I would definitely recommend them for any event!

Delicious!
We hired Chef Doris for 6 meals during our weeklong stay in Sayulita. She came to our home and cooked 4 dinners and 2 brunches that were hot, fresh and delicious every time for 16 people!! Great selection of options, affordable pricing, easy to communicate with, on time, all around excellent. Also used her son, Jorge, as a bartender to help make drinks several times and it was such a nice treat. Highly recommend Chef Doris!!

What an experience!
If he trip to Sayulita and surrounding areas was an ice cream sundae for my wife and I, then the experience with Chef Rivera was the cherry on top. Not only were they incredibly professional, prompt, clean and attentive, they also created magical culinary delights. Words can't express the explosions of tastes that our pallets were fortunate enough to experience. We opted for the baja tacos and they were the freshest most perfectly moist and tangy imaginable. Don't skimp on the drink options here either as the extra $$ is well worth the spend. We were also served the most amazing fries and churros and the salsas were out of this world (although maybe a LITTLE hot for my gringa esposa, lol. she still ate it while fanning her mouth.

Communication was not a problem since Jorge spoke english well but they allowed me to practice my spanish (with a little help from google translate) which i appreciated, although the wife thinks i talked too much. All in all i think you'd be foolish NOT to let them create a culinary masterpiece for you in house as it's better than most of the food we ate in town. we will definitely be returning customers

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!

Doris in Sayulita Mexico
Owner/Manager
Doris
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!
