Chef At Home in Mérida

Nací y crecí en la Ciudad de México. A partir de los veintiún años me mudé al sureste del país. Y comencé a aprender sobre platos tradicionales mayas, donde encontré mi Pasión culinaria. Cuando terminé mis estudios de gastronomía decidí dejar mi zona de comodidad y comencé a explorar diferentes lugares de México, lo que me ayudó a conocer aprende de los mejores restaurantes, chefs, y descubri diferentes platos típicos y exclusivos de cada región. Mi espíritu aventurero y atrevido me llevó a continuar aprendiendo, y teniendo ganas de prepararme cada vez más sobre el arte de la gastronomía. Hoy en día imprimo en cada plato cada una de mis experiencias a lo largo de mi vida culinaria, compartiendo con cada persona mi pasión por la gastronomía y mi país.

Mi recorrido a lo largo de la república mexicana y en el extranjero trabajando en Canadá,Dubai y Costa Rica

For me, cooking is...

Mi pasión, un estilo de vida, la cocina es un lugar donde crear y disfrutar.

I learned to cook at...

En casa de mi padre, estudié gastronomía; para luego pulir y convertirme primero en cocinero después en Chef

A cooking secret...

Pasión y disciplina, ser siempre creativo y dedicado es clave... Tener una base de estudios y utilizar ingredientes naturales respetando cada uno...

Adrian was wonderful. The food was excellent and he was as kind of a soul as you'll meet. We all loved having him in our place!

Incredible meal, all three courses were complex and different. Adrian mixed in a couple ingredients that aren't typical in Yucatan cooking which was really cool. The best part though was watching Adrian work and hear him talk through the steps he was taking and why, and also hearing his stories about his time cooking throughout the world.

Fantastic experience! Adrian was lovely and his food is just delicious. Highly recommended!

Adrian is fantastic! Really nice guy and great chef. The food was exquisite! We didn’t have a great kitchen but he worked hard to make an amazing meal. Great experience.

La comida estuvo super & Adrian pudo acomodar la cena dependiendo del gusto de los invitados, el salmon estuvo especialmente rico!

Chef Adrian was fantastic. We were all so tired from our red eye flight it was great not having to worry about anything. Dinner was excellent and we all absolutely inhaled the dessert. Probably the best dessert we've ever had. What a fun and easy night for us. Would absolutely recommend 10/10

Adrian was awesome! He cooked a fantastic meal for our 30th anniversary. Would highly recommend.

The chef was excellent! Very nice guy. My 7 guests really enjoyed it.

Chef Adrian created a beautiful, traditionally inspired dinner for our group of six friends. We loved getting the chance to try local specialties, and he brought great vibes to the evening. Highly recommend!!

Adrian was fantastic. We actually had him over twice during our trip. Every time the food was unique and thoughtfully planned. We really enjoyed having him cook our meals and absolutely recommend him.

Adrian is fantastic! Super communicative as our flight had changed, and we had to reschedule. Adrian came over twice to fix us dinner at our Airbnb Both times he brought wine, which it was a surprise and was complemented the meals. Adrian is very friendly and really takes care in his preparation of the food. I highly recommend him.

We had such a great experience cooking with Adrian. He catered perfectly to our dietary needs (somewhere between vegetarian and vegan) and taught us with a lot of patience and step-by-step how to make the dishes we were interested in. He even taught us how to make his own recipe of a habanero salsa which came out so well and then we improvised and made totopos to have them with the salsa. On top of that he left the place spotless. We were so happy sharing this experience with Adrian and would definitely do it again!

Great service and the food was delicious! 10/10

Wonderful experience definitely would recommend this experience! Flavors were unbelievably delicious. Adrian was very courteous and a great chef l!!

I wanted to do something special for my husband’s birthday but also needed to include our three kids. Take A Chef arrived right on time and served us a beautiful meal while we relaxed by the pool. It was a delightful experience and a worthwhile birthday surprise.

I would recommend this experience. Food was great and our chef was lovely .

Excellent experience and highly recommended. The food was incredibly delicious and we learned a few things as well. Thanks for such a great experience!

Great experience!!! Highly recommend for an intimate gather

Adrian prepared an amazing dinner for us. He modified his menu a bit to accommodate our dietary restrictions which was very much appreciated and he even brought a surprise for my friend’s birthday. It was definitely a highlight of our weekend in Merida

This was really fun. the food was similar to what you get in local restaurants here but having them prepare and serve it here was a real catalyst for conversation. I will be using them again.
