Wendy is always amazing. You can't go wrong with her and her team. From the selection process to the wonderful drinks, you should hire her.

Beautiful private dinner in our AirBnB. Wendy and Tony made our birthday dinner experience delicious and special. Gracias por todo!!

We were invited to stay with our friends who come to Punta Mita regularly. We had a large group with many kids and adults with a variety of food preferences and allergies. Wendy was able to create wonderful and tasty meals for all of us. Her team is fantastic and provided a restaurant quality dining experience in our condo. She was able to cater to a vegan/plant based diet. Her passion and creativity show in her food. Would definitely use Wendy without hesitation. read more

Everything was perfect from start to finish! We booked Chef Wendy for dinner at our AirBNB, and we started with delicious margaritas (her brother is the bartender who made the margaritas with homemade syrups) while they finished tasty appetizers. We then had the most amazing salad followed by skirt steak mole with risotto. Two of my favorite foods are risotto and mole, so my expectations were high and Chef Wendy blew us away with how tasty it was! They finished with churros for dessert, which my wife said was "the best churros I've ever had." They promptly cleaned up and were just so friendly and nice the whole evening. We'll definitely book her again for dinner when we come back to Puerto Vallarta and I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Everything Ms Galena served us was spectacular! Fresh, prepared to everyone's liking, uniquely seasoned and beautifully presented. We had the opportunity to experience her expertise for breakfasts, lunches, appetizers and dinners...and each meal was truly yummy. Chef Galena is truly as wonderful as her cuisine. read more

"Amazing" (Brian), "Unbelievable" (Monika), "Lucious" (Nelson), "Incredible" (Cameron) and "Delicious" (Justin) are the first words from everyone after a spectacular dinner extravaganza. Wendy and Alejandra came into our resort smiling and prepared to perform their magic in the kitchen. We learned, laughed, prepped, cooked, ate, drank and had the most wonderful family time ever. We highly recommend Wendy and her team and think you will be just as content and happy as we are after doing this. read more

We recently had a stay in Punta Mita where Chef Wendy cooked for us. Because the villa we rented did not allow outside chefs to come in and cook, Chef Wendy prepared the food with instructions ahead of time and delivered it to our villa. Chef Wendy had specific instructions on how to reheat , prepare our salad and cook our fish and shrimp main course dinner along with the sides. Her mango cheesecake was AMAZING. We had 2 dairy free people in our group and she made sure to accommodate their needs and make a special dairy free mango mousse. I would highly recommend Chef Wendy's food. Thank you!! read more

Booked Wendy and her team for a private dinner to celebrate two birthday's while vacationing in PV a few weeks back. I would give 10 stars if available. Wendy is prompt and professional with the replies, flexible with menu items [presented 4 preset menus and allowed me to pick and choose to curate our own experience]. The group enjoyed the entire experience and will definitely book her again when visiting! Tony was on deck with homemade cocktails while Wendy and Alex began preparing dinner. Attaching a few pics from the experience! read more

Wendy and Tony were fantastic and we couldn't be happier or more impressed with them and their services. They were professional, personable, and extremely accommodating. Wendy has amazing skills as a chef and her presentation and the food were exquisite. Tony kept the drinks flowing all night and they were delicious! We will definitely be back to the area and will definitely look to hire Wendy and Tony again. Highly recommend - you will not be disappointed with Wendy and Tony and their personal chef services. Buen provecho! read more

If you are considering a private chef for any event big or small, Wendy is a must. Not only are her prices extremely reasonable, the dishes are amazing. The personal touch she put on our honeymoon private dinner for two was out of this world. From the beautiful table arrangement to the personalized menus with personal note to the sparkler desert, not a detail was missed. The cocktail accompaniment from Alex was the icing on the cake. From set up, to serving to cleaning we took an enjoyable ride like we were in a fine dining restaurant, however when they left you could never tell they were even in our kitchen. The only trace left were some outstanding leftovers that we got to enjoy later. If we are ever in Puerto Vallarta again, one of the first bookings we will be making again is Chef Wendy. Thank you to you and Alex for an AMAZING and EPIC evening. read more

This was my 2nd time using Chef Wendy's services while vacationing in Puerto Vallarta. She prepared 3 dinners for four of us and they were the best food we had during our trip. Chef Wendy's passion and love for cooking is what makes her food stands out the most. She cooks from the heart and it shows throughout her dishes. Her assistants Tony and Alejandra making us some of the best cocktails we've had, and Chef Wendy doing her magic in the kitchen made our trip one of the most memorable one! I still drool today when I reminisce of the phenomenal display of culinary I experienced from Chef Wendy during my trip and cannot wait to have her once again cook for me...hopefully very soon! To Alejandra, thank you for your kind gesture. All I can say is bravo! read more

Our group of 7 used Wendy and her team for 3 dinners this last week. All expectations were exceeded. The service from start to finish was excellent and the food was the best we had while staying in Bucerias. We debated whether or not to have them include drinks in the service (as we had our own bar) but including cocktails and wine was a huge plus - their choice of wines was excellent and the cocktails were unique and very good. So easy to work with leading up to trip and to customize menus. We'll be return customers next year. read more

Although I was not able to book Wendy for a private event due to my own group's conflicts, Wendy could not be more friendly and accommodating to my group's needs. We went back and forth for a couple of weeks working together on a menu that best fit our preferences, but unfortunately a couple of people from my group could no longer make the trip last minute. We were all disappointed after looking at the amazing menu Wendy curated for us, but she was professional and understanding, and I would highly recommend at the very least reaching out to her for more information. Myself and my group all agreed to visit again and book Wendy for the next trip. read more

I used Wendy and her team last month for my husbands birthday. He's such a picky eater and this was hands down the best private chef and bartender service we have ever experienced! We had a party of 7 and everyone had a wonderful experience from start to finish!! read more

HIRE WENDY NOW!!! This was our second time hiring Chef Wendy for a private dinner. This year we stayed in Bucerias so she even comes up north. Chef and her sous chef are incredibly serious about Covid protocol. They wore masks and gloves the entire time and took special care in hand washing and cleaning afterwards. Chef Wendy's food and drinks are amazing. She has quite a few premade menus on her website but also made some adjustments for me because I had some special requests for my birthday and because my mother is a vegetarian. I love her traditional Mexican cooking. For those foodies out there it is especially fun to watch her in the kitchen when she makes tortillas, churros, and other timeless Mexican foods. It doesn't hurt that this area has amazing produce but all of the ingredients in her food were very fresh. Chef Wendy and her team also made some amazing drinks for us. We had my 90-year-old grandmother with us as well so Chef made some special drinks for her without alcohol. It wasn't just a virgin margarita, but some real thought went into those mocktails. One thing that she brought back this year that I loved last year was the Mezcal and hibiscus shot. It is simply incredible! Hibiscus is local here and the dried flowers and juices are amazing. This year we hired Chef Wendy specifically for my birthday. Unfortunately due to weather back home, my dad was not able to make it. Chef Wendy and her sous chef went out of the way to make it incredibly special by bringing decorations and decorating our outdoor eating area. She even made me a très leches cake as well as the amazing chocolate mousse that I specially requested. This having been the second time that we hired chef Wendy, I consider her a friend! Look no further for a personal chef for a variety of occasions, tastes, party sizes, and dietary restrictions. read more

We stayed in Hacienda de Mita in Punta Mita and had Wendy and her crew prepare us a beautiful dinner of Puerto Nuevo Lobster, crab cake appetizer, as well as a wonderful Aztec soup. Not only did she bring everything she needed to prepare our AMAZING meal, but she brought a bartender as well to make us the most delicious margaritas and mescalitas we have ever had. I highly recommend her services and can give a 5 star review without any hesitation. read more

Chef Wendy, Alejandra and her assistant were absolutely incredible. We had them cater a dinner for my husband's 40th birthday in Sayulita and they exceeded our expectations on every level. Here's a recap of all the amazingness: 1. Communication was great. Wendy replied with a menu with several options, and was accommodating when I wanted to switch some things around and combine two menus. 2. Wendy thought of things to make the evening go smoothly - a table and chairs to accommodate everyone, drinks, making sure we had enough plates, etc. 3. When the three women arrived, they worked nonstop to make the most delicious food and drinks. The cocktails were fresh and perfectly concocted (margaritas and mezcalitas with seasonal fruit). We ate amazing shrimp sopes, a delicious salad, and a picanha steak entree with this super tasty corn cake and asparagus. Everything was fresh and perfectly seasoned. Dessert was stellar - buñuelos with cajeta and ice cream and fresh fruit. They brought wine as well that we enjoyed with dinner and got to enjoy for a few nights after as well since they left the bottles for us. 3.5. They were super open to special dietary concerns - one of our guests couldn't eat too much salt so they made special things for him, another couldn't eat onions, and they would bring out special items for our kids. Really impressive! 4. They cleaned so well it felt like they transformed the space. You would never have known we had had the evening we had. 5. They were just awesome women. Super capable, talented, smart, so kind with my young kids, and just overall lovely to work with. I cannot recommend this team enough! It is worth the money and makes a special occasion even more special. read more

Chef Wendy was just what we needed to make an amazing stay in Puerto Vallarta excellent! Her food was delightful, flavorful, beautifully plated, and so pleasing to our tastebuds. Not only is she an excellent Chef but her customer service is impeccable. We were so pleased with her service and the overall experience that we can't wait to return to Puerto Vallarta again. It was truly some of the best food and beverages that we had while in PVR. Thank you Chef Wendy!!! read more

Wendy and her staff were amazing. Professional, courteous, warm and friendly. And let's talk about the food!!! We had the welcome to Mexico menu. The food was delicious from beginning to end! Inventive Mexican cocktails with yummy hors d'oeuvres. A delectable main course, and an indulgent dessert! Would recommend this chef 100%! read more

Rented a VRBO in Punta de Mita and the Condo owner and Condo concierge both recommended a Private Chef named Wendy. We booked Wendy for two days and after the appetizer in the first day we asked if she could come back a third. Wendy is a marvelous chef who brought and prepared the finest and most fresh locally sourced ingredients for all of our meals. Nothing came out of a can or bag; everything was scratch made. Wendy and her crew brought and did everything, while her bartender made us margaritas, mojito's and anything else you can think of. Once again, everything scratch made; no mixers, just fresh fruit simple syrup, salt, garnish and alcohol. At the conclusion of dinner service, Wendy and her crew clean up everything that they brought with them, box up the leftovers, put them in the refrigerator, clean the kitchen and say goodbye. Wendy was very conversant the entire time she was with us, and will tell you a little bit about herself, the dishes she's prepared and other experiences if you're willing to get to know her. She offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner service with an optional bartender option. Menu, Day 1 Appetizer - guacomole, pico de gallo, fire roasted salsa Main course - Taco Bar; beef, chicken and bbq ribs green rice and charro beans Desert - Churro with chocolate sauce with neopolitain ice cream Menu, Day 2 Appetizer - beef and cheese charcuterie board, wheat crackers, marinated black and green olives Main course - Chicken parmesan, fettuccini Alfredo, garlic bread Soup - minestrone Desert - Tiramisu Menu, Day 3 Appetizer - guacomole, pico de gallo, fire roasted salsa, chicken taquitos, cheese empanada Main course - Cactus salad, flank steak with side of sauces: creamy poblano and chimmichuri , and mushroom risotto Desert - molten chocolate lava cake with banana ice cream I highly recommend Wendy for an authentic experience: gourmet meets home-cooked in some of the most breathtaking views in all of Mexico. Nothing I have written Does Wendy justice. Her food was the best food we had our entire seven day stay in Mexico. Thank you so much Wendy for a wonderful experience, my wife and our entire party of six very much enjoyed your company and your food. read more

Wendy and Alex were amazing chefs! The food was delicious and they really new how to create a good vibe. Together they worked to make a delicious meal and the drinks were out of this world amazing! We enjoyed their food and service so much, we ended up booking them the same weekend for a brunch! Highly recommend and if I could give them a 10 star review I would. Best experience! read more

I hired Chef Wendy to cook for my friends and me for my 30th birthday. Not only was all of her food delicious, she was very communicative and flexible throughout the planning. I would absolutely hire her again anytime I'm in Puerto Vallarta. I wish she was in the US. Thank you, Chef! read more

Chef Wendy cooked a fabulous dinner for our group of 6 people while we were vacationing in Punta Mita. Wendy was great at communicating and made it easy for us to plan and select a menu. She arrived on time with her staff of two and all of her supplies. They handled everything from setting the table, serving each course, refilling our drinks and they did all the dishes afterward. We loved how Wendy presented the ingredients, preparation and history of each dish. She is a wonderful, passionate chef and we highly recommend her. read more

Wendy made us an amazing meal and fun cocktails. We had a long debate after the meal which dish was the best. They did a very thorough job cleaning up afterwards. It was well worth it and was a special night for us. read more

Wendy was extraordinary in her preparation, communication and thoughtfulness to our menu and the entire evening. Appetizers consisted of guacamole and pan seared crab cakes. Then, we enjoyed a delicious traditional Azteca soup as well as fresh lobster for the entree. We ended with coconut flan. We are so pleased to have met Wendy. If you want to impress, or simply relax, Wendy is a personal chef gem. read more

We had the pleasure of enjoying Wendy's food and first class service when visiting Mexico in February. Wendy and her team went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed the experience. They also accommodated four children with delicious meals and special touches. We enjoyed the experience so much that we purchased a gift card for our host so they could enjoy this experience as well! We will certainly book with Wendy whenever we return to the area. Wendy is not only a talented chef but she was also a pleasure to work with! read more

Wendy with Alex and Tony provided our group with such an awesome dining experience!! Booking was incredibly easy - Wendy was prompt with her responses and she was very accommodating with every person's dietary restriction. The day of our dinner, they came on time and were very friendly and attentive. Tony made us awesome cocktails while Wendy and Alex cooked. And the food... wow!! Just amazing! Easily comparable to a high end restaurant. And there were no shortage of food either. We were so full but glad we had left overs as a midnight snack. And on top of that, they cleaned up at the end, which was not expected. We're extremely happy with the service and food they've provided! Will definitely seek them again when we're in PV and I highly recommend them! read more

Outstanding 5-Star food and service! Chef Wendy and her team provided an incredible dinner experience for NYE. They made for a memorable and celebratory experience. The food was professionally prepared and presented. Highly recommend! read more

Chef Wendy is wonderful. Very professional and the food was a culinary delight. Every dish was special and you could tell she put her heart into it. This was the first time all three of my daughters and I have been on a trip together. I wanted something special seeing that my twins live in different cities. My eldest daughter lives in in the same city as I do but we have never been on a trip all together so this was a first. Thank you Chel Wendy read more

We celebrated a friends birthday and what a perfect way to end her day. Wendy and her brother came in with everything but the kitchen sink. They were both accommodating and so friendly. Wendy started cooking and while her lovely brother the sous chef made some of the most delicious mezcal cocktails! We started with some empanadas and taquitos. Which were made right in front of us from scratch. Then it was time for the Sopa Azteca. Holy moly it felt like a hug from my abuela(grandmother). That was absolutely delectable and mouth watering. Then we moved on to the steak and mole. The whole reason to hire her! The mole was heavenly. Literally licking the plate (insert drool emoji) They offered a choice of white and red wine from the Valle de Guadalupe which is a local to Mexico. We loved how they used all local ingredients for this delicious meal. After our meal they cleaned up as if nothing had ever happened. I couldn't thank them both enough! She needs a Michelin Star! This was in my top 5 foodie experience. read more

Chef Wendy is amazing all around! My boyfriend took me to Puerto Vallarta Labor Day weekend for my surprise proposal! He worked closely with Chef Wendy to arrange a surprise dinner in our pent house where her and her assistant received us with warm greetings, delicious food smells, and a professional presentation while taking all precautions by wearing face mask, face shield and gloves. She speaks fluent English and Spanish and has great conversation and recommendations for anything in Puerto Vallarta and Mexico all around. Our dinner was beyond amazing as well as our drinks prepared by her assistant! Chef Wendy presented us with the most delicious baby crab cakes as an appetizer! They were honestly so good I could of had only that to eat and been happy! Next was a zesty, fresh, and flavorful salad with fried cheese, fresh made tortilla strips, topped with a sweet dressing made from pomegranate! Our main course was a 'surf and turf twist' of steak (tender and juicy) topped with mole (yes mole! On a steak! It was incredibly delicious! She's a genius for that mix!), pasta in a tomato sauce, a big lobster prepared to perfection and I believe one other thing but I was a little distracted at that point because I was surprised with mariachi! Come to find out, Chef Wendy ALSO helped my fiancé coordinate that! I'm telling you, not only is she an astonishing Chef but also extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. To end dinner, we were served two flute glasses with a chocolate mousse desert topped with fresh fruit and a celebratory candle for our engagement. The presentation of our dinning experience all together was beyond beautiful and exceeded any expectations! After dinner Chef Wendy and her assistant collected all dishes and left our kitchen spotless as if they hadn't completely converted it into a 5 star experience! My fiancé and I have nothing but good things to share about Chef Wendy and our personal experience with her services. We will definitely be hiring her again every time we're in PV! I even joked and told Chef Wendy that once my fiancé and I are married with children I'd contract her to be our personal chef! Thank you Chef Wendy! We can't wait to see you again. read more

Wendy and team were fabulous. Gourmet Mexican food and drinks. Outstanding. We had our family including a toddler in Punta Mita and Wendy was outstanding!!! You won't be disappointed. read more

Wendy and her crew (3 additional helpers each day) provided 4 consecutive dinners at a house we rented for 16 people. Wendy was amazing in every way. She was very conscientious of food allergies and preferences for every guest. She was able to fully satisfy all the kids (age 3-13) and the adults in the same manner. Her dishes were flavorful and well portioned (I highly recommend the shrimp tacos!). She prepared appetizers, a main course, and dessert each evening. Her helpers were just as great as Wendy. They would constantly check on preparing beverages for the adults as well as kids friendly drinks for the kids. The kitchen was left cleaner than on arrival. I would definitely book Wendy for our next trip. read more
