Chef Carlos Ocampo García 10 años fusionando técnica clásica y sabor costarricense. Chef Carlos Ocampo García 11 years of fusing classical technique.
I'm Carlos Ocampo García, a Costa Rican chef with over 10 years of experience in professional kitchens. My cooking style blends the authentic flavors of Costa Rican tradition with modern techniques and handcrafted details in every dish.
I specialize in private, personalized experiences—from romantic dinners with grilled tenderloin and creamy potato with chorizo, to casual choripán nights with homemade chimichurri and garlic aioli.
I use only fresh, local ingredients and offer full service: I cook, serve, set the table with care, and leave everything clean. I speak both English and Spanish, and I’m happy to adjust menus to suit your preferences or dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten-free, spicy, etc.).
My mission is to create unforgettable, unique dining moments full of flavor, connection, and Costa Rican soul.
???? Available in San José, Heredia, and selected tourist areas. Let’s cook something amazing together!
