    I wanted this service for my 25th birthday in Playa Del Carmen and I am so happy that I found Catering Tulúm!They were responsive to all of my questions and requests, they were timely and the chef, Chef Mile, was AMAZING! She was so much fun, her cooking was amazing and she set it up so beautifully. I had breakfast catered for 2 days and balloon set up on my birthday. It was truly beautiful. I am impressed and would book again! Book and request Chef Mile!!

    DO NOT HIRE THIS "COMPANY". Worst experience for NYE Dinner!!! "O" Stars rating if I could! We paid the company 100% upfront for them to deliver a menu on December 31st we agreed on many days prior. They showed up later than the agreed time, food for 8 people (or less) when we paid for 12 people and the cook admitted to have been advised for 8 people earlier that day. Not only we missed food but also dishes. They swapped lamb chops for (1) small pork rib for each guest, the salmon portions were cut in 3 and heated on the microwave to split for the missing food, the "so called" table decorations never arrived, the churros were served burnt outside/ raw inside before the last main dish. Last but not least the "paella" was missing. About an hour into the night, some guys showed up at our doorstep with ingredients for a white rice with 2 types of seafood which they served as "paella". Very disappointing service and food, especially for the date we reserved with our whole family. We asked the "chef" to refund us and after not replying for several days he mentioned it will take 15 business days for the refund. Hence we paid in cash via transfer. Never got a confirmation the refund is in transit or anything. If you want to be in for a bad time and get hustled, this is the company to contact.

    Lunch for a party of 14 people! Yummy & delicious!

    My friends and I were celebrating a marriage and a proposal in Tulum, and thought having a private chef come cook at our airbnb would be perfect. AND I WAS RIGHT?! Chef Luis did not disappoint! The process is very easy and simple. I emailed Chef Luis to get a quote and was sent an extensive and affordable menu to choose from (lots of great choices) This is what we decided on: Starters: Beef flour empanadas Fresh fish ceviche with coconut and mango Sikil pak Main course: Rib eye with garlic butter Cochinita pibil tacos Lobster (extra $ but well worth it) Sides: Grilled corn with chipotle dressing Rice and beans Asparagus with bacon and honey Dessert Season fruit sautéed in mezcal with ice cream Everything was very tasty and delicious, but my favorites were the rib eye, lobster, and ceviche, and i also noticed Chef Luis threw in some potatoes too! Thank you Chef! Overall Chef Luis was very responsive/communicative and professional the whole time, He picked up all fresh ingredients, utilized the kitchen as well as the outdoor grill and made the whole house smelling delightful, and he even cleaned up afterwards and packed up our leftovers to store in the fridge :) it definitely was one of my favorite activities that my friends and I shared while we were in Tulum. I highly recommend Chef Luis, friendly and talented Chef!

    Everything was absolutely delicious, and the staff was extremely kind and professional. I was referred to Chef Luis from a friend that used him previously. They cooked, cleaned, and presented a fabulous spread for both our dinner and brunch at our Airbnb in Tulum. ( The Veuve champagne pictured was our own). I would 100% use them again.

    Mariachi band

    When I think about celebrations, Catering Tulum & Private Chefs is always my first option when I am in the Cancun area and need a private dining experience. Chef Luis and Nubia never disappoint! From the starter to the dessert the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding. The Pibil Yucatán tacos, ribeye, fish ceviche, and street tacos are some of the best meal I have ever been served. Service was delightful and very professional. 10/10 *Note: don't forget to add on the mezcal tasting and mariachi band, you won't regret it!

    Chef Luis and his team were ultra responsive. They were very communicative and accommodated our special requests. The food was deliciously prepared. Everyone loveeeed the fish, steak and beans and rice, though everything was tasty. Next time we're in Tulum, we will definitely be using Catering Tulum to cook for us. They also made our wedding cake and it was delicious. I don't think I've had a more tasty butter cream frosting. They were professional and arrived promptly the day of the event. We had no worries about food which can be a major headache on the day of your wedding. 10/10 recommended!

    If I could rate more than 5 starts I would. To anyone searching for a private chef experience, I 1,000% recommend Catering Tulum & Private Chef's. I recently booked a private dinner and mariachi to surprise a birthday girl and we absolutely loved our overall experience! Chef Luna was very responsive during the booking process, answered all the questions I had, and was super friendly and professional. When the actual day came, the chefs showed up on time, they prepped and served our food beautifully, cleaned as they cooked and were very friendly. Not to mention the food was AMAZING. We had a variety of dishes from fresh ceviche, fresh fish, steak, vegetables with coconut oil, corn on the cob, chicken enchiladas, beef empanadas etc. Do not hesitate, book them NOW!!

    We stayed at Casa Areca and had Chef Luis cook us dinner one night at the house. It was amazing! He did an excellent job and we had more than enough food. I felt like his prices were reasonable as well. If you are looking for a private Chef, book Chef Luis!!

    Dinner

    Thanks Luis and your team for an amazing breakfast and dinner. I was nervous initially but Luis came through as promised. They prepped, cooked , served, cleaned, and packed away leftovers right in my Airbnb. My guests were impressed! The food was wonderful and seasoned; as well as the Cucumber Margaritas...so refreshing!

    I was so impressed!!! So happy I found your company! The food was so flavorful and presentation was impeccable. I celebrate my birthday and they delivered. We had a party of 10 and they catered the food and decorations on our beach front villa. There was a variety of choices/packages. We also had the bartender service. We also ordered from their bakery and balloon arch decorations. From the food to the quality of service and price was a 5 star. My guest were pleased and we all would 100% recommend your services. If I ever visit Tulum I will certainly be reaching out to your team. Here are a few pictures.

I would be lying if I said I didn't prefer her food over the restaurants we visited. Every meal she made was a full spread, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. You could tell by the presentation--and the love she poured into each dish--that she truly loves what she does. The next time I come to Cancun, I will definitely be booking Paula again. She came in, didn't ask a single question, just got straight to work. Waking up to the smell of food you didn't have to cook? Best. Feeling. Ever. On her last night, we were all genuinely sad. She had become part of our group, and it was hard to see her go. Please listen to me--BOOK. HER. Then come back and tell me how much you loved it, because I know you will!

She was prompt, professional and very helpful. One of my group members got sick and she made her some chicken soup. That's the type of concern that is appreciated. Each dish was hand crafted, she made her sauces FROM SCRATCH, and did it all with a smile on her face. You can tell that she absolutely loves what she does! She set the table, cleared the table, washed the dishes and reset the kitchen! We had NO worries. She handled everything. Please please PLEASE book her! You'll be so glad that you did! Anytime I visit Cancun, I will definitely be using UXATA and Paula.

Even a bit pretentious or lavish. But ... like me, how wrong you would be! Chef Anthony, his staff and their exquisite service are worth every penny and more! Let me explain ... I found that one of the BEST reasons of having Chef and his staff prepare your meals at your vacation spot, in your own dining room, takes away the nighty headaches of getting to your destination, parking, dealing with crowds and wait times at restaurants, all that can be so stressful. You're dining at your own leisure, which will add so much more pleasure to your vacation experience. Each morning/nights tables were set up beautifully and elegantly. To say that every meal that was prepared for our group was delicious, would be an understatement. Not only did he graciously prepare meals for specific pallets in our party, making sure no allergies were overlooked, he led us through an adventure of flavors, that only a TRUE PROFESSIONAL CHEF could accomplish. Foods and flavors that I myself would not typically enjoy, he created them into delicious meals that I couldn't have enough. His wonderful staff were very attentive and courteous, describing each of the Chefs creations before each course. After our meals were enjoyed, Chef and his staff washed and dried every pot, pan and dish, right to the last spoon used and the kitchen was cleaned and made in order. Our hands never forgetting that they are on vacation! Every breakfast was a buffet to enjoy, with every possible dish you could think of, for your pleasure. And if there was a specific request to enjoy, Chef Anthony made it happen. My introduction to a have a personal chef as part of my vacation was an eye opening experience and will now be a permanent part of my vacation itinerary. If you're staying on the island of Cozumel, Chef Anthony and his staff are an ABSOLUTE MUST!!! Chef Anthony is EXTREMELY approachable and friendly, making you feel like family. Prepare yourself for a wonderful experience of fine dining and exquisite service!!! You will not regret your decision.

Josafat is not only a…read moreculinary genius, but also ranks among some of the most personable customer service we've ever received. Based on a local recommendation, we hired Josafat to cater a small island wedding of 20 guests, and the recommendation could not have been more perfect. His rates were unbelievably reasonable, especially for our five-course seafood dinner, complete with freshly-made mojitos and margaritas. Every ingredient was freshly purchased that morning, and sliced, diced and prepared before our eyes. Each course tasted even better than the last, and was by far the best seafood we had during our two-week stay on Isla Mujeres. Our guests remarked they could have easily filled up on just the irresistible appetizers. Even our two vegan guests raved over their individual avocado salads. The wait staff Josafat brought with him were attentive and upbeat and set all of our guests at ease. Josafat was prompt in all communication, offered to meet with us the day before the wedding to go over all details and even provided chairs, tables and linens for a small fee. He offered additional services and details for our event (more drink options, chair covers and decor etc), which we turned down to save on cost; he provided them anyway at no charge. Josafat goes above and beyond in service and in culinary passion and is worth every penny! We are normally a frugal couple on vacations, but we already plan to book Josafat for a private dinner for our next visit to Isla Mujeres.

He was very responsive to us in advance when planning the meal and arrived on-time and everything was exactly as promised. He was professional yet personable and made the whole experience very comfortable, enjoyable, and special for us. We would recommend his services to anyone staying on the island who wants professionally prepared meal "at home."

I recently took my entire family to Mexico for me and my husband's wedding, and 22 of us stayed in a beautiful villa and had Mendieta's recommended to us for catering Thanksgiving dinner. Our concierge gave us a list of 3-4 catered, but highly recommended Mendieta's, so we booked them. I had no idea just how big of a treat it would be to have Chef Maria, her husband and her team prepare our holiday dinner. I thought it would just be the food but it was so much more! They brought beautiful, Mexican table decor and place settings to make the dinner feel like a lush event. The details were everything! I also gave them a list of food allergies/restrictions and I was so glad that they happily accommodated all of them! And the food still tasted amazing! Now, on to the food -- simply incredible and delicious! They prepared it at our villa (it 'took them only 2 hours to get food on the table, which is amazing for the number of people we had!). We had their Real Mexican menu, which was family style, and included elote (corn), braised beef tacos, fish and rice, guacamole, salsas, and several other items that tasted delicious! A big plus for me was how pleasant and loving Chef Maria and the entire Mendieta's team was. They served us dinner, poured the wine we bought at the local store (all throughout the night), and gave us shots to celebrate the festive occasion! They also arranged the dining room tables and used tables from other parts of the house to set everything up so that all 22 of us could eat together. Man, what a treat! Their pricing is SO reasonable, and they also have menus for kids, as well as discounted prices of the adult menu for children. I'm OVER THE MOON with them and will definitely be back to have them cater our next trip to Mexico! Last thing - Chef Maria helped me pick the menu and was so lovely in all of our texts to help me mommy arrange everything and get the final details done. That was a huge relief since our wedding was that same weekend and my head couldn't take anymore planning! They worked so hard and were such great people...I couldn't have asked for more. My friends who stopped by for dinner said it was their favorite part of the entire trip - other than our wedding. Thank you Mendieta's!!!
