    She is AMAZING! My husband hired Chef Jillian for my 30th birthday to surprise my friends with a meal at an air bnb we rented. He planned the menu with her to keep it a surprise for me and it was fantastic! She did such an amazing job with every course, and I was blown away by the quality. She is worth every penny! She and her team are also quite patient if you and your guests have had a bit too much wine, which was very much appreciated. The quality and presentation is amazing, and her ability to cater the meal to your taste was superb. She nailed it even without a lot of direction, she's just that good!

    Chef Jillian was booked for a friend's 40th bday trip to Temecula. I reached out to her through her website and she was very responsive. You can choose from her menu options listed on her page or she can create a unique menu. We went with the latter option and filled out a form detailing preferences and allergies. She provided a preliminary menu for approval. We booked the hor s devoures and 4 course option. As the uploaded pictures attest, she did not disappoint. A further testament to her qualifications is that our air bnb host highly recommended her after we had already engaged her services. She incorporated veggies and edible flowers from her own garden. Each course was delicious and beautifully presented. She also provided us out-of-towners with some solid options for wineries and food options for the remainder of our stay. Highly recommend her!!

    So good! Professional and responsive. Chef prepared a private dinner for a small group of friends and from start to finish, every course, the design of the menu - everything was delicious! Would fly back to Temecula just to have another Chef Jillian Fae summer.

    Jillian's food, service, and staff is seriously incredible!! Book her for your next event!!! My husband and I reached out to Jillian for our June wedding. Our hope was that hiring a private chef over a big box caterer would make our guests' dining experience more enjoyable and unique. We were right and Jillian even far exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Jillian was kind, patient, and communicative. She went to work quickly creating and tweaking the perfect summer alfresco menu for us (that went wonderful with our cocktails by the way!). She provided great communication with our other vendors as well. So reliable. On the big day, Jillian was right on time with her lovely staff setting up. Her staff is amazing and service went beautifully. Jillian and her team made sure each guest had the right entree with provided dietary requests. Guests are still raving about the food and how lovely the whole dining experience was. Thank you! Love the Robinsons

    Jillian is amazing! I hired her to cook for me and 5 guests for my 50th birthday celebration. Her food was amazing! Her service was amazing! My guests and I were fully satisfied. We were really impressed with the taste of ALL of our courses. We never needed to add any salt to our food. She really does know how to cook. Jillian is also an excellent communicator. She reached out the week of my event to make sure she had all of the details listed correctly to ensure there were no hiccups the day of the event. She and her assistant arrived on time and left the kitchen sparkling clean. I will definitely hire Jillian in the future. She did not disappoint.

    Wow! Chef Jillian and her team exceeded expectations in all aspects of her work. From the beginning, her line of communication was always open and she was extremely pleasant to work with. Any questions or concerns were answered and we were met with comfort as well as excitement for our upcoming event! The prep and clean-up portion of the evening was great! We asked a few times at each stage if they needed help and every time they said they had it covered which made it lovely for our group of 19 to relax and converse at the dining table. The meals itself were absolutely incredible! We were all thoroughly impressed with each dish that came out. Everything was carefully curated and the flavors were out of the world. One of the best meals I have had. Overall, I would highly recommend Chef Jillian to anyone looking to have a private chef! If we are ever back in the area, we will for sure be reaching out!! Attached are a few photos from the evening!

    Where do I begin? Jillian is incredible. We hired her as our private chef for our getaway in Temecula. We worked together to create two incredible 5 course dinners. One night was a themed Argentinian dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday. Food was so delicious my stomach growths thinking of it. We loved our experience so much that we hired her to chef up another 5 course dinner in our home in Solana Beach. Can't say enough about her. She was on time, professional, personable and very talented at what she does even flying solo (no server or anything!) She left our kitchen spotless after she was done. I have since referred her to many others and will use her for our next getaway to Temecula.

She worked closely with me to make sure the menu accommodated the dietary needs of a very diverse group of guests, which I truly appreciated. She made the planning process so easy and stress-free. The food was absolutely delicious! We had a fantastic variety of dishes--from flavorful fajitas to savory meatballs--and everything was a hit with our guests. Adriana also prepared beautiful veggie and fruit platters that were just as impressive visually as they were fresh and tasty. On top of that, the portions were extremely generous, which we really appreciated. The staff who came to set up were equally wonderful. They were meticulous, organized, and took the time to clearly explain how to heat and serve everything so the food would be perfect throughout the event. If you're looking for catering for any event, I highly recommend Adriana's Cocina. The quality of the food, the professionalism, and the care Adriana puts into her work truly stand out. I plan to work with her for all of my future events--five stars honestly isn't enough. I would give more if I could!

There are so many times when we felt she went above and beyond to ensure things would go smoothly for us, from hand-delivered trial meals, to taking a site tour of our venue months in advance, to making an allergy accommodation for one of my family members - we could not be more grateful! On the day of our wedding, we felt so spoiled by the exceptional service. She and her team made a point of greeting us during cocktail hour to ensure we could enjoy the appetizers and aqua frescas, which was so appreciated! The food was delicious and continues to be one of the biggest compliments we've received on our wedding day. Everything was so fresh and amazing quality. We could not recommend Adriana's Cocina enough! Truly an outstanding catering experience all around!

The food was fantastic and there was so much of it - we were still enjoying leftovers for many meals afterwards. Beyond the food, the entertainment really made the night. The chefs were hilarious, engaging, and kept the whole group laughing with plenty of surprises sprinkled throughout the evening. This is such a great option for a big group and made the celebration feel extra special without having to leave the house. Highly recommend booking two chefs if you can - it keeps service moving quickly and doubles the entertainment value. Would absolutely book again and recommend to anyone looking to do something fun and memorable.

The El Pastor, Carnitas, Carne Asada, and chicken taco meat were all bursting with flavor. The rice was moist and tender, while the beans were packed with flavor and incredibly filling. They also provided a fantastic array of sauces and toppings, including fresh guacamole and a generous bag of chips. The durability of their plates and utensils was a nice touch, ensuring everything stayed intact throughout the event. The service was prompt; they arrived right when they said they would. Honestly, if this wasn't an upscale celebration, I could have left everything in their containers, and it would have been perfect!
