This was a fantastic evening with Ruben! He was so personable, funny, and a fabulous chef. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful experience with Ruben. We enjoyed the food and learned a lot about the area and food through his stories and food. We were a group of six adults traveling to the area. I would highly recommend booking with Ruben!

Chef Rubén is wonderful and made our intimate dinner with friends everything it could be. He delivered everything as promised and then so much more. They took care of every detail and we are so thankful. Everyone enjoyed it so very much. What a joy it was to have them with us, and the care they took will not be forgotten. Thank you Chef!

Everything was amazing the food the presentation the chefs(Rubens) professionalism well worth it stayed in touch the whole way even gifted us with a bottle of champagne ???? to celebrate my bachelorette the whole experience was amazing and delicious will definitely recommend and I will be using him again next time we visit.

Great experience! My family and I really enjoyed Ruben and his talented cooking skills. Ruben was super friendly, engaging and even shared cooking recipes with us. My son (8 y/old) really enjoyed learning from him. The food was delicious. We loved this experience and look forward to booking more

Chef Ruben was amazing! Delicious food, great communication leading up to event, accommodated all dietary restrictions, left our airbnb cleaner than when he found it. He was a joy to work with. I would recommend to all!

We can’t say enough good things about Ruben! Communication prior to selecting the menu was great. He answered all of our questions very quickly and we agreed upon a menu that would satisfy all of our different likes. He arrived on time and got to work right away. He was very friendly and engaged with us during the whole meal, answering any questions that we had. The food…AMAZING!! Wow. We started off with soup and ceviche - the next day we were wishing we had leftovers and wondered if we should call him to eat again (we devoured the food the night prior!) The fajitas were so flavorful and chicken cooked to perfection. Dessert was yummy!! Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Ruben. Book him and you won’t regret it!

Excellent experience! Would recommend!

Chef Ruben and his assistant Carla were phenomenal! They had amazing energy, amazing levels of professionalism, and the food was incredible. They mades us feel very comfortable and allowed us to fully enjoy our celebration!

Me and my wife were celabrating our 10th wedding Anniversary in Baja, and I thought that a private dinner for two without the crowd was a good option, thus I looked for options and found chef Reuben profile. I sent him a request, he responded really quick, he provided me the menu options of what I was looking for and the dinner turned out AWESOME! Professionalism and experencience where on the plates. Really good portions on our 5 couse meal. Really tasty dinner, I truly recommend Chef Reuben his service was TOP NOTCH!! I Will definitely repeat this experience, hopefully by summer time. Thumbs up!!!

Ruben made our evening of entertaining friends just wonderful!!

Nuestra cena fue espectacular! El Chef Ruben cocina riquisimo. Tomo todos mis detalles en cuenta cuando hice mi reservacion desde porcupines hasta que celebrábamos un cumpleaños. El servicio fue fenomenal y el super professional. Su pastel de chocolate y pecans caramelizadas con salsa de lavanda es el mejor!!!! Definitivamente lo contrataremos de nuevo y lo recomendaremos con familiares y amigos.
