Para mi la cocina es...

Cooking is not just cutting vegetables and cooking meats, cooking is an art, a passion and an exchange of emotions between the chef and the diner.

Un secreto...

Less is more, only what is necessary to stand out.

Eduardo was absolutely amazing. The food was incredible, beautifully prepared, and the whole experience felt special from start to finish. He was professional, friendly, and made the evening effortless for us. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a private chef in PV.

Chef Eduardo and Chris were a great duo. Even though we were running late from a delayed boat trip, they still accommodated us and made amazing dishes. They cleaned up afterward and left the kitchen spotless.

Chef Eduardo and his team were incredible. The ingredients were fresh and wholesome and the meals beat any restaurant in town. Service was impeccable. Highly recommend!

Eduardo and Cris from Basalto delivered an absolutely unforgettable private dining experience in Puerto Vallarta. Every dish was bursting with incredible flavor and executed with such precision—it genuinely felt like there wasn’t a single cuisine or request they couldn’t master. Their attention to detail was next level, from thoughtful presentation to pacing and personalization. They were friendly, professional, and effortlessly accommodating—happy to adapt to our schedule, time of day, and every food interest or craving we threw their way. They also left the kitchen spotless, handling everything from start to finish so we could fully relax and enjoy the experience. If you’re looking for a private chef experience in Puerto Vallarta that combines elevated flavors, flexibility, and true hospitality, Eduardo and Cris are exceptional. We will absolutely want to work with them again in the future.

Eduardo and Cris were AMAZING!!!! We hired Eduardo for our family Christmas dinner. It was the best filet mignon and shrimp we have ever had in our lives !!! They were so professional and presented our meal like we were at a Michelin star restaurant! Please reach out to me if you want any details. 10 stars !!!!!

From the planning phase through execution, Chef Eduardo exceeded expectations. He was responsive, collaborative, and went the extra mile by arranging an additional staff member to ensure flawless service. The menu was delicious and beautifully presented, with the quiche, breakfast toquitos, and ceviche standing out as our favorite items. Everyone had favorites, but nothing fell short. If we return, we’ll absolutely book him again. When we talked about our favorite parts of the trip having Chef and his team, including a bartender, were deemed some of the best parts.

Chef was amazing! Arrived on time and got everything going while we rested. We woke up to the house smelling amazing. Chef served each dish and explained to us so well. He did every special request I had perfectly. Everything looked so good and tasted amazing!!!! I highly recommend

I picked this particular Chef because he listened to what dishes or food we wanted and incorporated them into our menu no cut and paste job here. Great communication and flexible.

Eduardo was right on time and prepared a lovely meal for my mother my daughter and myself. Very reasonable price and great quality food. Thank you so much for making our stay here a little more special

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Chef Eduardo helped make food & wine pairings for our meal ahead of our scheduled in-home dinner, and easily accommodated dietary restrictions in our group.
