Chef Paco is amazing and his food is DELICIOUS! We booked him for a bachelorette for 8 people and he was prompt and professional and brought EVERYTHING he needed and left the kitchen spotless! His food was so good, we literally were left drinking the sauce from his scallops dish. It was so easy to enjoy his meal and not have to worry about a thing and everything from the appetizers to the dessert were a huge hit! I highly recommend him and will be booking him anytime I am in Temecula again! read more

Chef Paco is INCREDIBLE!!!! We did a private dinner in Temecula at our airbnb after a day of wine tasting. He was wonderful at communication and very accommodating to some of our dietary restrictions amongst the group. His meals are TO DIE FOR! There wasn't one thing we didn't absolutely love. It's the best filet mignon I've ever had. The gnocchi melts in your mouth. Could not recommend him enough! read more

For my sister's 40th, we celebrated with a private dinner by Chef Paco at a house rental. She has a bunch of dietary restrictions--gluten-free, dairy-free, and pescatarian. Chef Paco put together a menu that not only met all the restrictions, but each course was delicious, even for the rest of us! At restaurants, because she usually eats the only thing that is GF/DF/meat-free, she commented that it felt really inclusive that we all ate the same, and together. And Chef Paco made that feeling possible with his thoughtful menu. We were blown away when he revealed that the dessert was a tofu mousse--it was so creamy! Lastly, Chef Paco left the kitchen spotless. As the planner, I worried about nothing, due to the chef's professionalism. A million thank yous to the chef! read more

Had my 50th bday weekend in a beautiful chateau in Temecula and it would not have been as memorable if not for the AMAZING CHEF Paco and his culinary creations. He crafted phenomenal meals for lunch, dinner, brunch and dinner for 2 days. I have to tell you first, he is so kind, easy to work with, so accommodating, Professional, clean and of course gifted with cooking skills. He took us on a culinary journey that every single one of my 40 guests was raving about. The food not only tasted great, prepared and coordinated in perfect timing that all were served at the right time and temperature. The dishes were made with the freshest and best ingredients. We had salads, wraps, fruit salads, paninis, charcuterie, Spanish egss, bacon, bread, crossaints, pork tenderloin, steaks, tri tips, carbonara, seafood paella, shrimp risotto just to name some. Every single one was DELICIOUS! Successful event because of him! read more

Chef Gonzalez is absolutely AMAZING!!! All around, from beginning to end, his execution was perfect and his dishes were scrumptious! Easy communication, punctual and thoughtful, as one in our party had dietary restrictions, that he happily accommodated. Chef Gonzalez prepared 2 meals services for our party (breakfast and dinner) and did not disappoint. Often, dishes look great back lack in flavor, but not with Chef Gonzalez's dishes. Every bite was well seasoned with complex flavors shining through with our entrees. Even the salad was divine! Chef Gonzalez was a big highlight for our group getaway and it was a pleasure eating his food! read more

Wow! Chef Paco makes incredibly delicious food! My entire family (20 people including kids) rented a home in Temecula for my mom and brother's birthday. Chef Paco cooked for us twice. On Saturday for a Brunch Buffet, his Shakshuka and fried Spanish-style eggs were to die for! Then he came back and cooked a 5-course dinner for our family on Sunday. He customized the menu to our preference and it was delicious. He also plates the food beautifully! We were also impressed by the cleanup! We were able to be together and enjoy the meal. Thank you so much for the best experience we could have asked for! read more

So efficient and professional. I was amazed at what Chef Paco was able to create from a kitchen he had only just set foot in. Our dinner party for 12 was amazing thanks to Paco. He cooks, cleans and everything came out well-timed. Our favorite was the scallop appetizer that had a sauce that reminded us of the consistency of a chowder. Many of our guests said they would like this to be their main appetizer. Paco worked with me to nail down the menu for the evening and he also accommodated a pescatarian as well as a pregnant diner who had some dietary restrictions. So friendly and professional, if you are looking for a chef to come to your AirBnb and make you dinner at a great price, please check with Chef Paco to inquire about his availability. read more

I hired Paco after reading some reviews and looking over his Instagram page. We asked him to cook breakfast and dinner for us on my birthday at a home we rented with about a dozen friends. The meals did not disappoint in the slightest, and in fact, Paco's cooking was a highlight of the entire trip! His food even overshadowed the wine we tasted! For breakfast, we had eggs, bacon, lox, with options of toast, fruit, and açaí bowls! For dinner we had a table full of appetizers (tri tip, clams & muscles in garlic sauce, mashed potatoes, calamari), a salad course, and dinner options were seafood paella or filet mignon with risotto. Dinner was ended with a chocolate tarts dessert. I have more images, but yelp doesn't allow videos to be uploaded. Every single bite of food was better than the next. I truly couldn't imagine having a better meal at any restaurant. We eat out often and also have hired private chefs many times to cook for just our family, groups, and on vacations! Paco was beyond professional and an expert at what he does. Do not hesitate and hire him for whatever you're planning! read more

Our group are serious foodies, and Chef Paco exceeded our expectations. I HIGHLY recommend hiring him if you are in the Temecula area. read more

We will definitely be reaching out again! read more

We had the most lovely dinner prepared by Chef Paco and his team! We were just outside Temecula for my best friend's bachelorette weekend, and wanted to have a special meal at home for our group of 13. Paco was wonderful to deal with from start to finish. From my initial contact, he was responsive, informative, and accommodating, taking into account our preferences and allowing us flexibility in the menu. He was prompt and professional with providing us a quote and allowing us to reserve the date. Leading up to the meal, he was communicative about the menu and our specific preferences. He arrived early with his team and they prepared and served us a delicious meal -- we had to do nothing! They were also very warm and kind and lovely to be around. I highly recommend Paco if you are looking for a special memory! read more

Chef Paco is EXTRAORDINARY. From the moment I reached out to him he was so communicative, pleasant, and accommodating. We had rented a house in Murrieta for a girls' trip for our friend's 40th with 10 of us in attendance. Chef Paco had too many delicious items on his menus to choose from but we settled on a menu that was simply out of this world. He even whipped up a special request of "pasta al limone" into the birthday girl's "favourite limone I've ever tasted." His attention to detail is exquisite and his flavour profiles are just scrumptious. Every course was timed out perfectly and we were all smiling large, bellies perfectly full, by the end of our feast. I truly cannot recommend him highly enough and I so look forward to another event that I can hire him for again (and again, and again). Thanks Chef! read more
