THIEVES IN THE NIGHT! Would give 0 stars if I could. They informed us they were in an accident and couldn't make it to do our dinner. Previously they offered a bunch of perks if we paid in full prior to, which is what we did. 2 months later, they are ghosts and will not respond to any messages/ calls and have cut off all comments on social media

DO NOT HIRE THIS "COMPANY". Worst experience for NYE Dinner!!! "O" Stars rating if I could! We paid the company 100% upfront for them to deliver a menu on December 31st we agreed on many days prior. They showed up later than the agreed time, food for 8 people (or less) when we paid for 12 people and the cook admitted to have been advised for 8 people earlier that day. Not only we missed food but also dishes. They swapped lamb chops for (1) small pork rib for each guest, the salmon portions were cut in 3 and heated on the microwave to split for the missing food, the "so called" table decorations never arrived, the churros were served burnt outside/ raw inside before the last main dish. Last but not least the "paella" was missing. About an hour into the night, some guys showed up at our doorstep with ingredients for a white rice with 2 types of seafood which they served as "paella". Very disappointing service and food, especially for the date we reserved with our whole family. We asked the "chef" to refund us and after not replying for several days he mentioned it will take 15 business days for the refund. Hence we paid in cash via transfer. Never got a confirmation the refund is in transit or anything. If you want to be in for a bad time and get hustled, this is the company to contact.

I wanted this service for my 25th birthday in Playa Del Carmen and I am so happy that I found Catering Tulúm!They were responsive to all of my questions and requests, they were timely and the chef, Chef Mile, was AMAZING! She was so much fun, her cooking was amazing and she set it up so beautifully. I had breakfast catered for 2 days and balloon set up on my birthday. It was truly beautiful. I am impressed and would book again! Book and request Chef Mile!!

Everything was absolutely delicious, and the staff was extremely kind and professional. I was referred to Chef Luis from a friend that used him previously. They cooked, cleaned, and presented a fabulous spread for both our dinner and brunch at our Airbnb in Tulum. ( The Veuve champagne pictured was our own). I would 100% use them again.

Mariachi band

When I think about celebrations, Catering Tulum & Private Chefs is always my first option when I am in the Cancun area and need a private dining experience. Chef Luis and Nubia never disappoint! From the starter to the dessert the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding. The Pibil Yucatán tacos, ribeye, fish ceviche, and street tacos are some of the best meal I have ever been served. Service was delightful and very professional. 10/10 *Note: don't forget to add on the mezcal tasting and mariachi band, you won't regret it!

If I could rate more than 5 starts I would. To anyone searching for a private chef experience, I 1,000% recommend Catering Tulum & Private Chef's. I recently booked a private dinner and mariachi to surprise a birthday girl and we absolutely loved our overall experience! Chef Luna was very responsive during the booking process, answered all the questions I had, and was super friendly and professional. When the actual day came, the chefs showed up on time, they prepped and served our food beautifully, cleaned as they cooked and were very friendly. Not to mention the food was AMAZING. We had a variety of dishes from fresh ceviche, fresh fish, steak, vegetables with coconut oil, corn on the cob, chicken enchiladas, beef empanadas etc. Do not hesitate, book them NOW!!

Chef Luis and his team were ultra responsive. They were very communicative and accommodated our special requests. The food was deliciously prepared. Everyone loveeeed the fish, steak and beans and rice, though everything was tasty. Next time we're in Tulum, we will definitely be using Catering Tulum to cook for us. They also made our wedding cake and it was delicious. I don't think I've had a more tasty butter cream frosting. They were professional and arrived promptly the day of the event. We had no worries about food which can be a major headache on the day of your wedding. 10/10 recommended!

We stayed at Casa Areca and had Chef Luis cook us dinner one night at the house. It was amazing! He did an excellent job and we had more than enough food. I felt like his prices were reasonable as well. If you are looking for a private Chef, book Chef Luis!!

Thanks Luis and your team for an amazing breakfast and dinner. I was nervous initially but Luis came through as promised. They prepped, cooked , served, cleaned, and packed away leftovers right in my Airbnb. My guests were impressed! The food was wonderful and seasoned; as well as the Cucumber Margaritas...so refreshing!

I was so impressed!!! So happy I found your company! The food was so flavorful and presentation was impeccable. I celebrate my birthday and they delivered. We had a party of 10 and they catered the food and decorations on our beach front villa. There was a variety of choices/packages. We also had the bartender service. We also ordered from their bakery and balloon arch decorations. From the food to the quality of service and price was a 5 star. My guest were pleased and we all would 100% recommend your services. If I ever visit Tulum I will certainly be reaching out to your team. Here are a few pictures.

Culture is seeping out of every corner, and the rustic vibe and images truly make the atmosphere part of the dining experience. ​Lalo greeted us at the door right away and was just spectacular throughout the entire meal. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. His care and attention really heightened the whole evening for us. ​Before our main course, we were surprised with a complementary appetizer dish that was out of this world! It came with small empanadas, sopes, fresco cheese with beet jelly, garlic butter, nut bread, orange with worm salt, and a tomato cream cheese spread. I honestly couldn't believe all of that was on the house. ​For our main dishes, we ordered the Chile en Nogada and the Metztli. Neither disappointed! Both the nogada sauce and the black mole were addictive and perfectly executed. We finished with the Cetli (the Mexican sweet corn cake) for dessert, and the chocolate Kahlúa sauce tied everything together beautifully. ​Yes, this place is a bit pricey, but it is worth it from beginning to end. They even include a mazapán with your bill, which is such a sweet touch. I won't hesitate to come back!

We were able to get the wifi to access tickets and keep family updated from home and partake in some of the specialty cuisines this place has to offer. My sister ordered the quesadilla which was really good with the type of cheese that really melts and sticks right into the tortilla. As an accompaniment we were served chips with these carrots, onions, and peppers marinated in olive oil. The pepper was on fire and was spicy as hades but still good. I ordered the Enchiladas Rojas and they were so good. I highly recommend that dish for sure. The restaurant had a lot of shade which was very much appreciated here in this touristic square on a day without many clouds. The music was nice and they have coffee options as well for those that need a little pick me up. My last piece of advice is to order a pitcher, not a glass, but a pitcher of the Mexican Chamoy green juice. It was such a health kick in butt I needed after all the mezcalinas I've been drinking. Thanks for a great meal!

This was by far one of the most delicious meals I've experienced in a long time…read more This restaurant was directly across from our resort and we decided to try it for our last meal in Tulum and we definitely saved the best for last. We did make a reservation, although the space was surprisingly empty at 7pm. We do know we came as the season is winding down, but for how good this food is, this place should always be packed. Our waitress was delightful - attentive, helped to explain every dish and the dishes all came out quickly but nothing felt rushed. The vibe is very jungle chic with open air seating, slightly covered by large leaf structures. Lots of candles and mood lighting. The menu offered quite the diverse selection of food options with a focus on traditional but elevated Mexican flavors. We started with some signature cocktails - my husband the mustachio whiskey drink and I had the wildfire. Both were perfectly mixed with great flavors. I will note the wildfire was more tart than spiced and did come with a fun flame element (sadly no pic). Also of note, the passionfruit that is used in this drink is a local fruit that is far more tart than other passionfruit you may have experienced. If you like a tart refreshing drink, this is your pick. We shared many dishes - the first was the pork rind with street corn dip. WOW. The pork rind seasoning was absolutely delicious and the serving size of street corn was epic. So rich, so delicious. We also shared the fried avocado - truly, the local avocados are heaven sent and the pumpkin seed purée was perfectly developed and spiced. Next up, larger dishes included the corn ravioli - this was so rich, and swimming in delicious truffle flavor. The raviolis were huge and there were 6 of them. The foam and nest elements while very pretty were also equally delicious. Not something that I often say when it comes to foam on plates. Finally, we had the shrimp main - I cannot put into words how amazing this dish was. The sauce was spicy, garlicky, and clearly developed over many hours. You could taste the time put into this. The shrimp were so tender the heads and tails just fell off. It comes with a side of bread and you will want to soak up every drop of this sauce with the toasted bread. If you are looking for elevated local flavors that have been carefully and meticulously curated then you must have a meal at WILD.

For my entree I ordered the lamb lollipops and omg they were heavenly. I wish they lasted forever. It came with this delicious gravy on top and a side salad. The lamb was nice and tender, my mouth is watering just thinking about them yum! Great service, great food, great atmosphere. If you're in the area it would be a mistake NOT to come here. 10/10.
