fricasse salad
Michael L.

Incredible experience with Alex and his team. The experience was truly seamless and the food was suuuuuper delicious. It was our NYE dinner and it was perfect. Thank you so much!

3rd course.
Lisa H.

Alex and Nancy crushed every meal we had on our family get-away. The level of attention to detail and flavor combinations were out of this world. Presentation and execution were top-notch. Nancy prepared hand-made cocktails to pair with each plate, and each dessert was exquiste. The pictures were of just one night, and I wish I was able to articulate them better... but all you need to know is book now! It's worth it!

Salad

I can't even begin to put into words how amazing the private dinner chef Alex put on for my and my 3 friends for a birthday dinner. Everything was immaculate and so much attention to details. We got the mezcal experience and all the tequila and liqueurs paired so well with our plates. It was a 5 course meal and every single plate was mouth watering and just so amazing! Thank you Alex for your hard work and making it an amazing experience!

ROMERO MARGARITA- tequila, orange liquor, & rosemary
Mitchell G.

Chef Alex was amazing!!! He was able to provide us with superior service and AMAZING FOOD!!! We were able to customize our menu from cocktails to dessert, including 4 dishes. He did not disappoint and would totally recommend for one night (or two or three) of an affordable dinner. My entire group licked their plates clean and with them being "full" for dessert, picked up their spoons and dug right in. I mean you can't go wrong with someone who picks up the supplies & cleans up. It was a great treat. If you are worried about standards during this time, his team was very conscious with COVID and took the most respect and cleaning steps. Gracias for everything! We ordered this menu: ROMERO MARGARITA- tequila, orange liquor, & rosemary MIXED HERB SALAD- herbs, stormed orange, feta cheese, honey, & lemon dressing. CEVICHE WITH CORN- marinated fish with lime, onion, tomato, & cilantro RIB EYE TACO- avocado puree, pickled onion, & cilantro OCTOPUS PIBIL- marinated with achiote, camote puree, & chile xcatic CHOCOFLAN / GUAYABA CHEESECAKE

Tikin xic fish

Everything was wonderful, from scheduling through dessert! Alex was kind enough to even make the kids in our group a special side meal. We did the mezcal experience and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. Highly recommended for your Tulum vacation.

Chef Alex was excellent! I booked him for my birthday and he did not disappoint. We was very professional and on time. He was very communicative and flexible. I would highly recommend his services the food was excellent.

Ceviche
Cameron K.

Chef Alex and his team prepared us an amazing dinner. They were very friendly and I swear they left the kitchen better than they found it. If you're visiting and have a kitchen, this is an amazing dining experience and you don't have to go anywhere.

Alex prepared a spectacular meal for 12 of us in our rental home. Service was impeccable and he is a terrific person. 5 stars plus ++++

Asparagus Pastry Puffs!!! So AMAZING!!!
Tiffany G.

Chef Alex and his wife Nancy were the best EVER! If I could give them 10 stars I would. They provided spectacular service and delicious food. Each course was absolutely amazing. I had a multitude of drinks all over Tulum and none compared to Nancy's. She also made a Tres Leche carrot cake for dessert that would make you want to slap your mom, it was absolutely incredible. Chef Alex did not disappoint AT ALL with any of the courses served. I had lamb chops and they were cooked to perfection. I strongly recommend the asparagus pastry puffs if available for you meal selection, they were unbelievably good. Chef Alex will forever be my private chef of choice whenever I'm in the area again. Thank you Alex & Nancy for making my husbands birthday dinner out of this world.

Ceviche with corn and tortilla chips
Alexis S.

Cannot say enough good things!! Chef Alex came and prepared dinner for us and it was possibly the best mrs I've had!! He was also so fun and made our meal even more enjoyable by talking to us! He brought fresh ingredients and cleaned up everything after the meal. We were served a charred tomato salad, ceviche, shrimp taco, steak with asparagus, and flan (everything was much fancier, but I cannot remember the exact dishes). We were also served great drinks for adults and kids. Wonderful food, I highly recommend you hire him! He also came and made us brunch that was fantastic! So much amazing food and great beverages! What a wonderful experience!!

Hiring Chef Alex is like going to a Michelin-star restaurant but from the comfort of your home! So you don't have to worry about driving home later and can enjoy Nancy's exquisite cocktails instead! Chef Alex opened with a delicious salad (only dish missing from the pictures) but you will see all the others including the the most colorful of all and with which they closed: a tremendous dessert of mezcal lemon cake prepared by Nancy with which they put the bow to the super culinary adventure Wednesday night! The tuna belly tartare / ceviche with mango, avocado and endives bathed in its coriander sauce with its crown of finely striped chives on its exquisite bed of finely cut cucumbers (which we called the cucumber mandala for it's beautiful composition) was unsurpassed and DELICIOUS !!! Or well that's what we thought, until the fresh lobster from Playa del Secreto arrived cooked to perfection and complemented with shrimp, octopus, orange and parsley all in perfect cooking and bathed with a succulent bone marrow ....... all accompanied by the exotic mezcal cocktails, equally exquisite and extravagantly delicious as Nancy's mezcal cocktail report ..... A whole explosion of beauty and flavors presented in perfect times .... Incredible Experience, ..... Bravissimo Bravo !! If you get lucky to find Chef Alex unoccupied, book him right then! It will be the highlight of your trip guaranteed ....

See all

I would be lying if I said I didn't prefer her food over the restaurants we visited. Every meal she made was a full spread, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. You could tell by the presentation--and the love she poured into each dish--that she truly loves what she does. The next time I come to Cancun, I will definitely be booking Paula again. She came in, didn't ask a single question, just got straight to work. Waking up to the smell of food you didn't have to cook? Best. Feeling. Ever. On her last night, we were all genuinely sad. She had become part of our group, and it was hard to see her go. Please listen to me--BOOK. HER. Then come back and tell me how much you loved it, because I know you will!

One of my group members got sick and she made her some chicken soup. That's the type of concern that is appreciated. Each dish was hand crafted, she made her sauces FROM SCRATCH, and did it all with a smile on her face. You can tell that she absolutely loves what she does! She set the table, cleared the table, washed the dishes and reset the kitchen! We had NO worries. She handled everything. Please please PLEASE book her! You'll be so glad that you did! Anytime I visit Cancun, I will definitely be using UXATA and Paula.

Chef Luis did not disappoint! The process is very easy and simple. I emailed Chef Luis to get a quote and was sent an extensive and affordable menu to choose from (lots of great choices) This is what we decided on: Starters: Beef flour empanadas Fresh fish ceviche with coconut and mango Sikil pak Main course: Rib eye with garlic butter Cochinita pibil tacos Lobster (extra $ but well worth it) Sides: Grilled corn with chipotle dressing Rice and beans Asparagus with bacon and honey Dessert Season fruit sautéed in mezcal with ice cream Everything was very tasty and delicious, but my favorites were the rib eye, lobster, and ceviche, and i also noticed Chef Luis threw in some potatoes too! Thank you Chef! Overall Chef Luis was very responsive/communicative and professional the whole time, He picked up all fresh ingredients, utilized the kitchen as well as the outdoor grill and made the whole house smelling delightful, and he even cleaned up afterwards and packed up our leftovers to store in the fridge :) it definitely was one of my favorite activities that my friends and I shared while we were in Tulum. I highly recommend Chef Luis, friendly and talented Chef!

Most people, like myself, would think that having a personal chef and his staff, come and cook for…read moreyou and your family, would be an unnecessary expenditure. Even a bit pretentious or lavish. But ... like me, how wrong you would be! Chef Anthony, his staff and their exquisite service are worth every penny and more! Let me explain ... I found that one of the BEST reasons of having Chef and his staff prepare your meals at your vacation spot, in your own dining room, takes away the nighty headaches of getting to your destination, parking, dealing with crowds and wait times at restaurants, all that can be so stressful. You're dining at your own leisure, which will add so much more pleasure to your vacation experience. Each morning/nights tables were set up beautifully and elegantly. To say that every meal that was prepared for our group was delicious, would be an understatement. Not only did he graciously prepare meals for specific pallets in our party, making sure no allergies were overlooked, he led us through an adventure of flavors, that only a TRUE PROFESSIONAL CHEF could accomplish. Foods and flavors that I myself would not typically enjoy, he created them into delicious meals that I couldn't have enough. His wonderful staff were very attentive and courteous, describing each of the Chefs creations before each course. After our meals were enjoyed, Chef and his staff washed and dried every pot, pan and dish, right to the last spoon used and the kitchen was cleaned and made in order. Our hands never forgetting that they are on vacation! Every breakfast was a buffet to enjoy, with every possible dish you could think of, for your pleasure. And if there was a specific request to enjoy, Chef Anthony made it happen. My introduction to a have a personal chef as part of my vacation was an eye opening experience and will now be a permanent part of my vacation itinerary. If you're staying on the island of Cozumel, Chef Anthony and his staff are an ABSOLUTE MUST!!! Chef Anthony is EXTREMELY approachable and friendly, making you feel like family. Prepare yourself for a wonderful experience of fine dining and exquisite service!!! You will not regret your decision.

I recently took my entire family to Mexico for me and my husband's wedding, and 22 of us stayed in a beautiful villa and had Mendieta's recommended to us for catering Thanksgiving dinner. Our concierge gave us a list of 3-4 catered, but highly recommended Mendieta's, so we booked them. I had no idea just how big of a treat it would be to have Chef Maria, her husband and her team prepare our holiday dinner. I thought it would just be the food but it was so much more! They brought beautiful, Mexican table decor and place settings to make the dinner feel like a lush event. The details were everything! I also gave them a list of food allergies/restrictions and I was so glad that they happily accommodated all of them! And the food still tasted amazing! Now, on to the food -- simply incredible and delicious! They prepared it at our villa (it 'took them only 2 hours to get food on the table, which is amazing for the number of people we had!). We had their Real Mexican menu, which was family style, and included elote (corn), braised beef tacos, fish and rice, guacamole, salsas, and several other items that tasted delicious! A big plus for me was how pleasant and loving Chef Maria and the entire Mendieta's team was. They served us dinner, poured the wine we bought at the local store (all throughout the night), and gave us shots to celebrate the festive occasion! They also arranged the dining room tables and used tables from other parts of the house to set everything up so that all 22 of us could eat together. Man, what a treat! Their pricing is SO reasonable, and they also have menus for kids, as well as discounted prices of the adult menu for children. I'm OVER THE MOON with them and will definitely be back to have them cater our next trip to Mexico! Last thing - Chef Maria helped me pick the menu and was so lovely in all of our texts to help me mommy arrange everything and get the final details done. That was a huge relief since our wedding was that same weekend and my head couldn't take anymore planning! They worked so hard and were such great people...I couldn't have asked for more. My friends who stopped by for dinner said it was their favorite part of the entire trip - other than our wedding. Thank you Mendieta's!!!

Josafat is not only a…read moreculinary genius, but also ranks among some of the most personable customer service we've ever received. Based on a local recommendation, we hired Josafat to cater a small island wedding of 20 guests, and the recommendation could not have been more perfect. His rates were unbelievably reasonable, especially for our five-course seafood dinner, complete with freshly-made mojitos and margaritas. Every ingredient was freshly purchased that morning, and sliced, diced and prepared before our eyes. Each course tasted even better than the last, and was by far the best seafood we had during our two-week stay on Isla Mujeres. Our guests remarked they could have easily filled up on just the irresistible appetizers. Even our two vegan guests raved over their individual avocado salads. The wait staff Josafat brought with him were attentive and upbeat and set all of our guests at ease. Josafat was prompt in all communication, offered to meet with us the day before the wedding to go over all details and even provided chairs, tables and linens for a small fee. He offered additional services and details for our event (more drink options, chair covers and decor etc), which we turned down to save on cost; he provided them anyway at no charge. Josafat goes above and beyond in service and in culinary passion and is worth every penny! We are normally a frugal couple on vacations, but we already plan to book Josafat for a private dinner for our next visit to Isla Mujeres.

He was very responsive to us in advance when planning the meal and arrived on-time and everything was exactly as promised.
