    I Hired Chef Jay Wright after reading all the 5 star reviews on how excellent a chef he is and he did not disappoint! In fact we gave him an Entree that we would like and he went above and beyond to create the Perfect meal.. My niece is highly allergic to shellfish & nuts and he made sure they were not on the menu or in the house..He is truly a professional in his field of cooking and I would highly recommend him for your next party as I will be doing in the future.. Thank you Chef Jay!!!

    Chef Robert!

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Los Michoacans cater our family gathering in Thermal, California, and they were outstanding. Robert, our chef, set up an outdoor grill and served incredible pork, chicken, and shrimp tacos -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ingredients were top quality, the tacos came hot off the grill, and the setup made the whole experience feel festive and seamless. Robert was professional, punctual, and easy to work with, and the service could not have been better. On top of that, the price was very reasonable for the amount of food, and we even had plenty of leftovers to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality tacos with a chef who brings everything to you, I can't recommend Los Michoacans enough!

    Chef Jay absolutely nailed my 40th Birthday dinner! The food was delicious! Would hire him again for any event!

    Chef Jay is truly a culinary artist! We had him cook dinner for us at a Palm Springs girls dinner. He was prompt to respond via email and we were able to set everything up no problem before the day of service. He has so many amazing menus to choose from and customize it was hard to decide what we wanted! He was transparent with pricing and professional to communicate with. Upon arrival at the Airbnb he exuded friendliness and positivity. He worked in the kitchen with what was there for him to use and we were shocked at how he made a restaurant quality (honestly better than most restaurants!!) in that kitchen having never been there before. He served our meal and cleaned and truly was a joy to have at the house. Now most importantly - THE FOOD!!!! It was so amazing that the table fell quiet after being served because we were too busy enjoying what we were eating. He has such an amazing balance of flavors and textures. We did fried Mac and cheese, biscuits, salad, Swedish meatballs, and Korean fries chicken. The serving sizes were also more than enough to the point where we have a generous amount of leftovers. If you are considering hiring a private chef, you have to choose Chef Jay! I already am wondering how to get back to Palm Springs to have him make another meal.

    From the moment we reached out, he was quick to respond and super helpful in customizing a menu that matched our group's taste. The food? Absolutely fantastic. We were having such a great time we barely took any photos--but trust me, every dish was a hit. Chef Jay prepared everything right in our Airbnb, filling the house with the most amazing smells. He shared insights about his culinary background, served us like pros, and then cleaned up better than any man we've ever seen--truly the full package! We went with a four-course, family-style Baja California menu. He started us off with Ahi Tuna Tostadas and Aquachiles, followed by a tableside Tijuana Caesar salad that perfectly bridged the starters and mains. The main course featured Chargrilled Baja Chicken and Birria Tacos, plus homemade charro beans and chips. Every bite was delicious, and the leftovers the next morning were lifesavers for our slight hangovers. We'd 100% book Chef Jay again--whether in Palm Springs or San Diego!

    Chef Jay was fantastic, very responsive and easy to work with. Showed up early to make sure dinner was prepared at time we suggested. The food was chef's kiss, just amazing. (See photos) We even had left overs the next day. If you are in the Palm Springs area, I would 100% recommend him.

    We asked Chef Jay to join us for a girls trip dinner in Palm Springs. From the set-up to the cooking to the clean up, it was such a great experience. He is extremely responsive and professional and wants to make sure your meal is tailored exactly to your group. We had the Mushroom Arancini, White Peaches and Burrata, and Carbonara. Everything was absolutely amazing and one of the biggest highlights of our trip! We loved that he is completely open to questions along the way (even while prepping) and also felt like we had plenty of time / space to enjoy the meal. We can't wait to have him join us again!

    The amazing Chef Jay!

    See all

    I would give 10 stars if I could! We'll definitely be working with Chef Tonya for all of our future…read moreevents. You won't regret booking her! We wanted to host an engagement party for 25 people at home with hors d'oeuvres and dessert bites. Upon reaching out, Chef Tonya quickly responded with her full menu offerings and suggested popular items, as well as what she thought would pair well with our "wine night" theme. On the day of the event, we were in awe of how delicious everything was. She's incredibly intuitive and knows exactly when to take initiative too, which we appreciated the most. We didn't need to direct her on where anything was--she simply found what she needed without interrupting the flow of the evening. At the end, she thoughtfully packaged all the leftovers using our Tupperware and Ziploc bags, making it easy to store or send food home with guests. Some of our favorites from the night were the crab cake bites, baked potato bites, lemon bars, and cheesecake bites. All the veggies in the crudité were incredibly fresh too!

This was my first time to hire a caterer, as I usually do all the cooking myself. With my first phone conversation with Chef Tonya, I immediately felt very comfortable that Tine to Dine would do a wonderful job and that the food would be made with love and care. We had a group of 35 guests and chose a menu of small bites. The presentation was beautiful (they even provided a centerpiece!) , there was something for everyone (young children to special diets) and every item was absolutely wonderful! Made from scratch, with good, fresh ingredients. Raves from all our guests! Perfect. My son and his fiancé also used Tine to Dine for their day after wedding brunch. We had the pleasure of a 2nd meal prepared by Chef Tonya and Chef Faye! And all was wonderful again!

When Chef Allan and I had our inItial meeting, we discussed what impression was I trying to set and how best he could make my anniversary evening unforgettable for my wife. Chef Allan balanced his presence in the meal preparation to keep us as informed of the various dishes he was preparing without being intrusive in our conversation. The meal itself was a success! Well plated with an aroma that made all kind of tasty promises which it kept. The flavoring was bold without being overwhelming and each dish complimented the preceding one. We gorged ourselves! When it was all said and done, my wife was impressed by Chef Allan's culinary skills and grateful for me introducing him into our lives. She gave me a free pass for the next time a "hubby" moment comes up !
