Get to know me better

Spicing up life with authentic Mexican flavors, one palate at a time.

I’m a Mexican personal chef specializing in authentic yet modern Mexican cuisine. My cooking is rooted in tradition but inspired by flavors from around the world, creating vibrant and beautifully presented dishes that celebrate the richness of Mexican food.

I learned to cook from the best—my mother and my grandmother—whose recipes taught me the heart of Mexican home cooking. Over time, I’ve updated many of those family dishes to make them lighter and more contemporary while preserving their authentic character.

I also enjoy drawing inspiration from Mediterranean, Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern cuisines, weaving those influences into Mexican flavors to create unique fusion dishes.

Whether cooking for an intimate dinner or a special celebration, my goal is not simply to prepare a meal but to create a memorable culinary experience—one that is flavorful, colorful, and thoughtfully prepared.

Guests are always welcome to watch the process or even join me in the kitchen if they’d like to learn how to prepare some of the dishes themselves. I’m always happy to share techniques, tips, and the stories behind the recipes.

I’m happy to accommodate vegetarian, lactose-intolerant, and gluten-sensitive guests, and the level of spice can always be adjusted to your preference.

Chef Max was absolutely amazing. He was a pleasure to be around and have in my home. At first I was skeptical of who exactly would be showing up at my house, but the moment I met Max, I had no worries at all. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. The food and timing was excellent, and he left my kitchen cleaner than he found it. 10/10 would recommend.

Max was a wonderful chef. Very professional and personable with each member of our family. Max prepared 2 to 3 meals a day for a week for my family and each meal throughout the week was better that the meal prior. He shared stories of how he learned some of his recipes and was willing to modify each menu to accommodate those with meal preferences such as Vegitarian. The food, presentation, prep and clean up all were spectacular. We enjoyed Max and Andres and would definitely like to hire them for future family events. Thank you!

A great private chef is more than a good cook. Max understands that. He is creative, engaging, attentive to detail and a great cook to boot. Max will plan a great meal and then make the whole night work. He makes you a brilliant host.

Chef Max was fabulous in every way: Excellent, prompt, polite, clear communication, a good listener who made thoughtful suggestions as we discussed the menu ahead of time. Every course was delicious, prepared with care, using fresh, good-quality ingredients, and presented appealingly. Highly recommend his flan, but really, every dish was outstanding. He left the kitchen tidy and spotless. Max was knowledgeable, patient and thorough. We had a terrific, relaxing celebratory dinner, and I hope we can work together again.

Highly recommend chef Max for your next in home dining experience. His tres leches was the best I have ever had! He was very attentive, punctual, warm, and engaging.
