I’m a Costa Rican chef with over 10 years of professional kitchen experience. I blend the authentic flavors of my country with modern techniques and handcrafted details in every dish. I design private, fully personalized experiences—from romantic dinners with grilled tenderloin and creamy potato with chorizo to casual choripán nights with homemade chimichurri and garlic aioli.
I cook with fresh, local ingredients and offer full service: I cook, serve, set the table with care, and leave everything spotless. I’m bilingual (English/Spanish) and happily adapt menus to your preferences or dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten-free, spicy, etc.). I’m available in San José, Heredia, and selected tourist areas—let’s cook something amazing together.
For me, cooking is a beautiful way to build connections—every course is crafted to bring people together around flavor and conversation.
I trained at the Centro Culinario the Culinary Trainer School, where I refined classical technique and built the foundation that I now blend with Costa Rican traditions.
I strive to make the most of every ingredient and treat each one with respect, elevating natural flavors through careful technique.
I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 90 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.
I cook Seafood/Fish, Local, Chef's special and Italian. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
To book me in Costa Rica, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.
Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering, Romantic night and Foodie adventure. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.
