Just finished day four with the chef and we have yet to have a single item that was no awesome. I really don't know why we have not done this before, but I can assure you that we will never go without this joy in our lives again. Yelp should allow us to add extra stars for the things that Alex and Nancy prepare. Only three days left, I will be so sad to leave this incredible food behind. Don't worry people I have lots more photos of these masterfully prepared dishes for you to enjoy. read more

We were lucky enough to have Chef Alex and his team prepare three wonderful dinners for us this last week. All the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully served (and even tasted and felt healthy). The drinks were fabulous and the Mezcal tasting dinner was a perfect way to spend New Year's Eve. Chef Alex worked with me on the menus and customized things for our 10 year old granddaughter (including wonderful mocktails that made her feel part of the party). The team managed everything and the house was left immaculate after each dinner. Chef Alex has set a very high bar for any of our future travels! read more

2 years ago we ask Chef Alex to cook us a 50th wedding anniversary dinner and it was perfect, so this year while visiting Playa Del Carmen, my youngest & his family came to visit us and I wanted something extraordinary for them, so Chef Alex came to mind immediately! It was as good or better than last time. 4 adults and 2 children and everyone ADORED it. Not only was the food and drink amazing but the entire experience was again perfect. They even let my cooking/plating obsessed 9 yr old granddaughter watch (even let her separate spring onion slices. If you are looking for a most special experience call Chef Alex and his team, Thank you Chef, Nancy and Betty read more

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! read more

Amazing dinner! Alex came to our Villa and provided an unforgettable experience. We will definitely call him when we return

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! read more

We remotely planned a wedding in Akumal with a lot of stress about whether everything would come together without being in Mexico before the wedding to ensure the details. I reached out to Alex and his crew did an incredible job making fresh, delicious food right on site, served it and cleaned up. We were so pleasantly surprised with the yummy food and professionalism of his team. You can count on them to put every detail together. They are excellent! read more

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 read more

What an amazing night! We hired Chef Alex to cook for our group on our last night in Mexico. From the moment we negotiated until the final delivery, everything was perfect. Very professional, responded quickly to emails, great value... and oh my god - the FOOD! Punctual. Chef Alex and his team arrived on time and immediately started doing their thing in the kitchen. Dinner was ready and served on time. Five amazing courses and a specialty cocktail just for our group. I consider myself a bit of a fussy eater; but there wasn't anything here that I gave a second thought to. Each course was better than the last, and he took a moment after serving each to tell the group what we were served. Health and safety. Chef Alex and his team came in and they were consummate professionals, wearing masks and gloves. Being restaurant professionals ourselves, we cleaned the kitchen prior to his arrival. His team went the extra mile and cleaned very deeply after they finished. This was my first time visiting Mexico and experiencing Chef Alex. I'm already looking forward to another visit and making a final night dinner with him a tradition. I highly recommend his services! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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 .... read more

Chef Alex prepared the most amazing 5 course meal for me and my fiancé. From the salad to the delish veggie tastings (nopales, corn, and asparagus) to the main course; it was all fabulous. Chef Alex was easy to communicate with, helpful with menu planning, and provided full service on the special day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special experience. Our best meal on this vacation. read more

Alex cooked for a group of 8 while we were renting a house in Playa del Carmen and I can't say enough great things about his services. From the initial menu selection to the presentation of meals, Alex was responsive and always gave 5 star service. Alex, and Nancy his assistant, are also so nice and personable, they even offered to pick up groceries for us if we needed anything throughout the weekend and gave us their salsa recipe. I highly recommend their services, you will not be disappointed! read more
