Beautiful and Delicious Meals!
Thinking about finding a chef for some authentic Mexican dishes? Doris Rivera is your person. We enjoyed two evenings with Doris. Her ceviches, tacos, red snapper, rice, beans, and agua freschas were fantastic! Don’t miss ordering Doris’ desserts. Her chocolate cake and flan were both amazing.

Simply Amazing!
We had Doris and Jorge cook dinner five of our 9 nights in Sayulita. Every single meal was made fresh, down to the sauces. The meals were phenomenal. They were professional, came prepared and served the meal at the exact time we had booked them for.

In addition to the meals being delicious, this gal aims to please. We loved her fajitas so much that we asked her to make them again with only a days’ notice and she did it, no questions asked. We had a couple people who weren’t able to eat a meal or two and she adjusted our quantities for those meals without batting an eyelash.

Her customer service, value and meals are simply the best!

Awesome food from a great team.
We recently hired Chef Doris to cook 3 breakfasts and 1 dinner for our group while staying in Sayulita. We had 2 families and multiple children so being able to wake up in the morning and enjoy our coffee while Chef Doris and her Son Chef Jorge were getting everything prepped for us all to eat downstairs was amazing and really added to our vacation. The food was excellent we worked with her to set different menus each morning, we always had fresh fruits yogurt and granola and juice she would make fresh, along with savory dishes for adults to share chiliquiles, huevos, chorizo burritos etc.., and pancakes for the kids. We also added on guacamole and ceviche that she would prepare and store in the fridge and it would be ready for an afternoon snack later, it was great and all the food was spectacular, not to mention the kitchen was left spotless when they left. To anyone considering hiring a chef for your vacation do it, and if you want Authentic Mexican dishes Chef Doris should be your go-to!

Two AMAZING lunches from Doris and her crew!
We were in town for a wedding and had Doris and her crew prepare two amazing lunches at our villa. The menus offered a number of options and the food was phenomenal. They showed up on time, began prepping the meals and instantly the entire kitchen smelled wonderful. Communication was great throughout and I would definitely recommend them for any event!

Great selection of options, affordable pricing, easy to communicate with, on time, all around excellent. Also used her son, Jorge, as a bartender to help make drinks several times and it was such a nice treat. Highly recommend Chef Doris!!

Doris
Bio Please mention SayulitaLife
Doris Rivera lives just outside Sayulita. She grew up in a traditional Mexican home and was exposed from an early age to the flavors of the region. Her "training" occurred when she was a young wife and mom, cooking for her family. Despite looking after four children, she found artistry and perfectionism in the kitchen. Never content, always striving to improve her skill, she bought and borrowed regional cookbooks, and practiced all the recipes, again and again. Eventually, she began to experiment and find her own "voice" as a chef. Later, working as a cleaning woman for a vacation rental in Sayulita, Doris was "discovered" when guests asked her to cook. Person after person commented in amazement that the best meal they had in Sayulita was the one made by the "cleaning woman." In her quiet and simple way, by preparing beautiful meals that speak for themselves, Doris has made a name for herself. The demand for her services grew to the point that it is now a full-time job. Please note that Doris only speaks Spanish, but she knows how to use translator apps and enjoys working with clients who speak other languages!
