fabulous in home dinner in Sayulita!
we had a amazing in home dinner with Chef Daniel and his team. the service was professional, friendly, exceptional. the food exceeded our expectations! our evening was a delight! communication with Chef Daniel was excellent via WhatsApp even when he couldn't get one of the main menu items and had to make a last minute change.

Recommend that you get your drinks/bar prepared ahead of their arrival so you can stay out of their way in the kitchen (but they're gracious even when you're annoying and in their way).

Highly highly recommend the seafood dinner. all courses were professionally prepared and delicious. we had a group of 7 and all humans were thrilled. The flan was FANTASTIC.

DON'T HESITATE, JUST BOOK IT. You won't regret it.

Chef Daniel did not show up
We had Dany C booked for a chef at home experience over the holidays. Unfortunately he never showed up! I tried to contact him the evening of and i didnt hear back from him until the next day.
We were 6 adults with 3 sleeping babies so it was quite a let down. I suspect Daniel was too busy over the holidays but i never did get an apology. Very odd since the reviews below are so good.

BEST COOKING CLASS EVER!
I have taken two cooking classes from Daniel & each one was perfections. Engaging, informative, & so much fun! He explains the history behind the cooking & brings the freshest ingredients. Don’t eat before the class because you’ll make enough food to feed an army!
This class was a highlight of our 2 weeks trip to San Pancho.

Daniel Carillo was fantastic!
We were blessed having Chef Dani serve us breakfast every morning while we were in Sayulita, sunrise couldn’t come soon enough! He also served us dinner four of the 8 nights during our stay. His choices varied from night to night and there wasn’t a meal we did not enjoy!! We are looking forward to working with Chef Dani and his team on our return trip later this year. Thank you again for services, we’ll see you soon!

5-stars! Book your dinner!
An amazing experience from beginning to end! Leading up to the event, Daniel was extremely prompt and helpful in working with me to put the perfect surprise dinner together for our group - a multi course meal, a bartender, and even a custom cake sourced from a local bakery. The dinner itself was out of this world (our guests are still talking about it), plus Daniel and his team went above and beyond to ensure the whole night was special - they brought decor, music, all fresh ingredients, moved the dining room table outside to set the mood, socialized and celebrated with our group, and did all the clean up after. 5/5 stars, no doubt about it. Book your private dinner with Daniel and his team!

Perfect birthday dinner
Working with Daniel and his team was a dream. He was easy to communicate with from the very beginning, with menu ideas and clear plans. They arrived to our house on time, with positivity and smiles… the food was incredible, from fresh ceviche to delicious salmon and risotto. Martín the mixologist was a great addition, with fresh fun cocktails full of herbs, citrus and fresh fruit. At the end of the night, they left with hugs and a clean kitchen! I cannot recommend Daniel and his team more highly.
