Get to know me better

Mexican-American private chef in Puerto Vallarta delivering villa dinners and day-charter menus with fine-dining polish and yacht-ready precision.

I'm Jose Carlos Rodriguez, a Mexican-American chef based in Puerto Vallarta. Trained in modern fine dining at Restaurant Sat Bains in Nottingham, I've cooked for yacht charters, luxury resorts, and large events. Today I bring that same precision to private villas and day charters: seasonal menus, pristine execution, and warm, discreet service. Whether it's a plated tasting, a family-style feast, or an onboard spread, I handle shopping, prep, service, and cleanup so you can relax and enjoy the moment.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is hospitality with a point of view: market-driven, disciplined, and a little poetic, so every guest feels seen.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook at Sat Bains (Nottingham), then honed my craft across yachts, resorts, and banquets from Florida to the Caribbean.

A cooking secret...

My secret is mise en place: sharp prep, clear timing, and calm execution, so the plate looks effortless and the kitchen stays spotless.
