We spent a week in a rented home in Costa Rica and had Juan and his wife come for two of the nights we were there. It was absolutely fabulous! The food was outstanding and so beautifully presented. I am just sad we did not book him to come every night of our vacation, as his meals were the best... More

Juan and Louisa made our vacation in Costa Rica perfect! We were only able to schedule him for 4 nights but they were the 4 best meals we had! He allowed us to customize our meals so that everyone could avoid things they didn't like and get extra of those things they really did like. They arrived exactly when they... More

Not only was the food wonderful, but Juan and his wife Maria became our friends! We gave this dinner experience to our son who turned 16 on Christmas day and loves to cook. I emailed Juan ahead of time and he had a chef hat and apron ready for him to put on. He was so kind to my son... More

These two were amazing. The food was perfect, beautifully prepared, presented and tasting. Juan Manuel and Maria Luisa were wonderful - fun, interesting, really just terrific. Considering restaurant quality and prices in Tamarindo, I thought this was five star meals at three star prices with the added convenience of never having to leave our beautiful villa.

Having Juan and Maria Luisa cook for us was an amazing experience. The food is excellent, the presentation is amazing and the price is right. Juan and Maria Luisa cooked for us several times breakfast and dinner during the week we were in Potrero. Every meal was made with fresh local ingredients Juan purchases the same day. The presentation was... More
