Chef Jairo Castro Ruiz

Chef Jairo was on point for everything. We had a great diverse menu that showed his talents. Get the sushi board, it is not to miss. Can’t say enough great things about Chef Jairo.

Chef Jairo and his gorgeous assistant came and gave us an outstanding service. From start to finish the communication was fantastic. We can be fussy and i added extras, changed things on the menu and Chef was more than happy to accommodate my changes. Very attentive and gave a fantastic service, the food was out of this world too. Everyone was happy, spoke to every guest individually and happy to give us the service. Fantastic clean up afterwards everyone was left with lovely memories & a great experience. Even better food! Thanks again!!

Chef Jairo did an excellent job, he also brought his coworker that served us the food in an excellent way. The food was fantastic and he also broughtflowers from his garden and decorated the table. A great experience for a chilled bbq evening with the family. Recommend!

From the booking to the dinner, everything was handled professionally. Great communication and amazing food! We had a bbq-menu and everything was grilled to perfection. The alioli was the best we have ever had. He also brought flowers from his garden for the table decoration, which was a sweet touch. Jairo and his waiter was so friendly. Can safely recommend them to anyone!

Jair Castro (Gastro) and his team were nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, they delivered a culinary experience that surpassed all expectations. The menu they curated was not only creative and beautifully balanced, but it also paid homage to the rich flavors and traditions of classic Andalusian cuisine. Each dish was executed with impeccable precision, evident passion, and an extraordinary attention to detail. Their dedication was felt in every bite — it was clear that every element was crafted with care, intention, and a deep respect for the ingredients and cultural heritage. The presentation was elegant, the flavors were bold yet refined, and the entire service flowed seamlessly. For such a special occasion, they didn’t just provide a meal; they created an unforgettable gastronomic journey. Jairo and his team are true artists in the kitchen, and we are beyond grateful for the unforgettable experience they gave us. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Everything was amazing! All communication from the beginning was very good! We chose tapas menu and Jairo had created amazing spanish tapas with his own twist. He also served special dishes for our 3 kids even though we just book the dinnet for adults. Highly recommendation! Hopefully we can use Jairos services again!

Jairo cooked a fabulous meal for 8 guests to celebrate my mum’s 70th birthday whilst on holiday in Spain. His communication was excellent throughout and he responded immediately to any queries. Both him and his assistant were friendly, attentive and warm during the meal. The pace of the meal was perfect and they were always on hand to fill drinks etc. The food was delicious and we enjoyed trying new dishes such as the fideua. They even made a small version for my 3 year old daughter which she loved. It was a fantastic experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

This was a great meal! Chef was terrific!! Excellent communication, very accommodating, dishes were terrific and service and clean up were perfect! High Y recommend!

Great experience, chef Jairo was very chilled and food was really good, left the kitchen spotless. his passion for local produce is great to see.

This was an incredible experience for my whole family!! Not only was the food INCREDIBLE, but Chef Jairo paid special attention to our kids and involved them in the cooking experience! Chef also was able to accommodate some late requests and was such a pleasure to work with!

Jairo was awesome! The experience was very cool, and the food was very delicious. We loved being able to be a part of the creation of the meal but also being able to sit back and relax when we wanted to. It was great to be able to learn from a local and to hear personal stories about the food. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

Chef Jairo made my birthday dinner very special. The food was amazing and the story telling was really good. The service is incredible. So if you want a lovely dinner where you can relax or join in the kitchen, he is the perfect choice. I highly recommend him, and we look forward to our next dinner with him.

We recently had the pleasure of dining on a sumptuous meal prepared by Chef Jairo, an artist of the culinary world with a decade of experience in crafting global flavors. The dinner featured an exquisite array of shrimp, crab, cuttlefish, and sirloin steak, each cooked to absolute perfection. Every bite was a testament to Jairo's philosophy of 'less is more,' where simplicity met elegance in a harmonious blend. The meal began with succulent shrimp and crab, both rich in flavor and texture, followed by tender cuttlefish that melted in our mouths. The sirloin steak was a highlight, perfectly seared and seasoned, embodying Jairo's unique vision inspired by his Mediterranean roots. The evening concluded with a delightful dessert: a rich, indulgent brownie a cherished recipe from Jairo's mom…the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable dining experience. What made the evening even more exceptional was the seamless service. We didn’t lift a finger, as Chef Jairo and his team ensured everything was taken care of. The kitchen and dishes were left spotless, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the culinary journey. This dinner was more than just a meal; it was an adventure in taste, texture, and artistry, meticulously curated by a chef who truly understands the magic of food! We highly recommend Chef Jairo for anyone looking to experience a culinary journey that defies the ordinary and elevates dining to an art form.

We had the most amazing experience. They were very professional ( I say that to include his helper Joan) Chef Jairo is incredibly talented and prepared us an incredible meal. Everything was delightful. More than we expected. The presentation was phenomenal. The shrimp salad was superb. The octopus was hmmm.. the most tender octopus I’ve ever had. “ Delisciouso”. The cuttlefish ( which I never had before) to my surprise was really good. The steak was delicious as well! ????????✅ Lastly, the dessert chocolate cake with almonds and salted caramel ice cream was over the top. Everything served was over the top!! It exceeded our expectations. And the kitchen was immaculate! ( Yes, they clean everything up and kitchen was spotless. Highly recommend. Book your private chef with Jairo when in Spain. You won’t be disappointed. If you’d like to know more about Chef Jairo, his IG account is jairo_gastro (name is Jairo Kastro). If you’re in Estepona or Maribella Spain, book your private Chef.
