Chef Yashira was absolutely incredible. She went *above and beyond* to ensure that I had an outstanding birthday dinner. Her passion for food, family and people was so evident in her personality and her dishes. The dinner that she cooked for us was hands down the best food we had during our stay in Puerto Rico. I can not put into words how highly we suggest her. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chef Juan Pena was an absolute delight! We booked him for bunch and dinner for my birthday celebration. He was incredibly flexible when were were trying to finalize the menus for both. I can't say enough great things about the meals. Every dish was prepared to perfection! Absolutely delicious!! Chef Pena was professional, explained every dish and cleaned up after himself. You will not regret booking him for your special event.
