Chef Marta Pascual

Personal Chef In Mayagüez

I am a passionate chef born in Ponce and raised in San Juan; I studied at “La Escuela Hotelera de San Juan”, Mayaguez, PR campus. In 2018 I opened a small restaurant in Rincón, PR. After 1 1/2 year, I had to close due to the Pandemic. This is how I reinvented myself and started offering my services as a private/personal chef and caterer for your family reunion, in the privacy of your home or during your saty in Puerto Rico.

Love my job????

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is the best therapy in the world, also is the greatest way to bring people together.

I learned to cook at...

Watching my grandmothers cook, also at two local restaurants after I got my chefs diploma.

A cooking secret...

Create great food and reinventing recipes with ingredients and taste of Traditional Puertorrican and Caribbean flavors.

Chef Marta prepares a delicious meal with custom touches. She is very humble and sweet. She made my partner and I a most delicious meal at our Airbnb. It was some of the best food I have ever tasted. If you are thinking about it and at first the price seems a little high, just do it! You will not be disappointed! A great experience!

Marta showed up early and cooked us an amazing breakfast! She was very professional and obviously a great chef. We will definitely request her the next time we are here. Perfection!

Delicious food healthy Beautiful presentation Lively funny chef Well organized and thought out.

Great food. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area

We knew when we smelled the food as Chef Marta prepared it that we were in for a treat. From the first bite of the Yautia Pastelon Stuffed appetizer with ground beef our taste buds were delighted. My granddaughter wanted to eat the appetizer as her meal, we had to remind her there was more food to come. The main dish of chicken breast with chorizo sauce on a bed of delicious mamapos rice, served with a beautiful fresh salad had us all stuffed. But we were not too stuffed to endulge in Chef's homemade cherry cheesecake. It was so good I packed a slice to take home with me to enjoy and remind of just how wonderful the whole experience was! Thank you Chef Marta for providing us with a 5 star experience!

Chef Marta is truly talented and she thought of every detail. The food was delicious and beautiful, and it was so fun to eat an amazing meal in the comfort of our Airbnb.

This is the chef of dreams. She did such an absolutely amazing job I would highly recommend for any occasion. She is an amazing person as much as an amazing chef.

We recently had the pleasure of having Chef Marta cook for us, and we couldn't be more pleased. She made my wife's birthday truly special with her exquisite culinary skills and thoughtful presentation. From the moment she arrived, her professionalism and warmth made the evening unforgettable. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully crafted, showcasing her incredible talent and attention to detail. We highly recommend Chef Marta to anyone looking to elevate their dining experience. Thank you, Chef Marta, for making this celebration one we'll always remember!

The experience with chef Marta was great. I have had her food before and she never disappoints. I enjoy the delicious food and her attention to detail and presentation. She also makes herself available to explain the dishes. Her desserts are delicious, as well, especially the lemon merengue cake!! Five stars rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful meal in the convenience of our rental property. Good communication and exactly as advertised. Delicious food with leftovers that we enjoyed the next day!

Chef Marta was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and a joy to work with. She made the evening so special and thoughtful, bringing us appetizers by the pool while we were still lounging and then plain gorgeous delicious dinners for us. She was very responsive working with peoples health and dietary restrictions and I would highly recommend Chef Mara to anyone looking for a private chef in the area

Marta was a pleasure and the food was amazing! She even added a personal touch for my spouse by remembering candles for dessert so we could sing happy birthday! Would definitely look to have an experience with her whenever we are in San Juan.

This was such a great opportunity to have a chef cook for you when on vacation! The food was amazing and she accommodated all of our dietary needs. We had so many leftovers for the next couple of days too!

Can't recommend highly enough! Martas food was delicious especially the Mahi Mahi, scrumptious salad and lemon cheesecake desert. One of the highlights of our trip... If you have young kids and can't easily go out to restaurants it works perfectly to put them to bed and have Marta come and spoil you, bringing restaurant grade food to your place!

Marta was great! The food was amazing and a perfect start for our time in Peurto Rico. She also gave us recommendations on local coffee to try which was very good.

Marta was great! The food was very tasty and delicious. Angel was a great bartender / server too! Both were extremely pleasant and fun to be around. Marta was able to pull off the meal in spite of our mediocre AirBnb stove. It was a special experience!

Marta is a wonderful chef !!

We were in Rincon celebrating my partners 30th with a small group of friends and this experience was amazing! Chef Marta was very easy to communicate with and organizing the experience was a breeze. When she arrived she was very kind and friendly but most importantly, her food was absolutely delicious. It was such a great night and we loved the fact that we could share such a special meal in the comfort of our AirBnb! There was plenty of food to leave us all satisfied plus left overs that we have been enjoying for the last 2 days! The cheesecake was to die for!! Thank you for everything Marta!

Punctual, accommodating and delicious. Everybody enjoyed the great meal and convenience of having somebody come to our home

Marta was fantastic, highly recommend. She was professional, efficient, timely, and an incredible chef. Excellent taste and presentation.
