EXCELENTE SERVICIO Y GRAN ACTITUD DEL CHEF FERNANDO!! RECOMENDABLE

Fantastico

Súper servicio lo repetiremos

Chef Fernando and his beautiful wife and their server were incredible. So kind and helpful. Food was incredible. The kitchen was on the bottom floor and they had to go up and down stairs all day and did not complain once, highly recommend. Loved their service!!!!

Me encantó el profesionalismo con el que se condujo el Chef !!!!

Nos encantó todo el servicio del chef. Desde su atención previa al evento, bastante flexible con las necesidades de mi familia; llegó muy puntual al evento, y me ayudaron a acomodar todo de una manera perfecta que se veía como un restaurante top. Una vez que se dio la sorpresa, la atención del mesero fue extraordinaria, y por supuesto del chef Peñaloza y la suchef. La comida estaba super rica, la presentación de los platos también, las porciones fueron buenas, y el vino que llevó estaba espectacular. Mi padre pasó un festejo increíble, y todos tuvimos una muy grata experiencia. Recomiendo totalmente esta experiencia y el servicio del chef fernando.

Todo perfecto

Chef Fernando and his team were great! I got him as a surprise for a bachelorette trip. His team arrived early and set up while we distracted the bride. They were great and had drinks ready to go when we walked in. They were incredibly attentive, they let us relax and watch tv while they cooked and served us drinks. They were also very thoughtful. I told them we were going to a lucha libre match after dinner so they all brought masks to wear while cooking– it was a hilarious surprise and the bride loved it. Fernando also gave a very sweet toast to the bride at the beginning of the dinner wishing her a happy life with her husband which was very sweet. One of the girls on the trip wasn't feeling well from the day earlier and they offered to go out and pick up up some crackers and medicine for her. They also added a cool surprise where they lit our drinks on fire. I cannot express how personalized they made everything and how pampered we all felt. Anyone who wants to do a personal chef for a girl's trip, look no further. The food was yummy and had great stories related to Mexico and Chef Fernando's history. Their margaritas were AMAZING.

Our experience with Take a Chef and specifically Chef Fernando was for my best friends bachelorette, there were 14 of us and we could not be more satisfied with the experience. The entire team was helpful, fun, engaging and made the entire experience one we will NEVER forget. I will absolutely use this service again in the future and would recommend to anyone that ever needs a private chef for the night. From the drinks, to the snacks, to the entire menu, to the service, everything was perfection. Thank you so much to the whole team, we loved every second of this experience.

He tenido la oportunidad de vivir experiencias gourmet en diferentes países y estilos, pero la precisión de los alimentos del chef, fue inenarrable. Cada plato del chef es una sinfonía de sabores, una obra maestra que despierta los sentidos. Su cocina eleva lo ordinario a lo sublime, transformando ingredientes en poesía gastronómica. Cada bocado es un viaje de texturas exquisitas y armonías perfectas, donde la pasión y la creatividad se funden en una experiencia inolvidable de placer absoluto. Pero la diferenciación del chef no se sintió solo en sus alimentos, sino en su increíble y sencilla personalidad de alta conexión, explicando emocionado cada platillo y conectando con los comensales regalándole sus historias y mostrándose como un gran el ser humano. Con manos trabajadas y alma generosa, servía cada plato con amor sincero. No solo alimentaba cuerpos, sino corazones, creando momentos de calidez y conexión inolvidables con los invitados. ¡ EL MEJOR CHEF, SIN DUDA 1,000% RECOMENDABLE!

Chef was great to work with, it was clear he truly cared about each dish and making sure we had a great experience.

El chef Fernando sabe cómo crear una gran experiencia. Me ayudó a inventar un platillo personalizado y jamás dudó en complacernos. Una langosta a la daikiri, con tostones de plátano macho. Un homenaje a un viaje a cuba que hice con mi pareja. Chef y cómplice para sorprender a tu invitado.

Chef Fernando was amazing, friendly and a joy to have in our home. Highly recommended!

Una experiencia excepcional Desde el primer momento, el Chef Fernando y su equipo demostraron un profesionalismo y una atención impecables. Su enfoque en cada detalle hizo que disfrutáramos la cena en todo momento. Cada pase del menú fue una sorpresa, con platillos que superaban nuestras expectativas uno tras otro. Además, el Chef nos acompañó desde la concepción del menú, siempre abierto a nuestras ideas y aportando su experiencia para hacer de la cena algo realmente especial. Sin duda, una experiencia que repetiremos, y por supuesto, de la mano del talentoso equipo del Chef Fernando.

We chose Chef Fernando’s French menu, and it was absolutely divine! Every course—from the appetizer to the dessert—was perfectly executed and incredibly delicious. Fernando and his wife, who assisted as an exceptional sous chef, made a fantastic team. She was so sweet and added a warm touch to the experience. Their dynamic energy and engaging personalities made the evening even more enjoyable. Fernando also shared stories about his culinary journey and the history behind his dishes, which added an entertaining and personal touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

This was the best experience! I booked a dinner for my husband’s birthday while we were in Mexico City and the chef made sure every detail was an amazing experience. And, our Airbnb had a very challenging kitchen to work with, but he made everything work!!

Chef Fernando was amazing! The MVP of my wedding. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable and he was very professional. 10/10 I would recommend him for any occasion or event. We are so grateful we found him!

El servicio, atención y el menú del Chef Fernando fue extraordinario superando cualquier expectativa! Es la primera vez que contrato este servicio y después de esta experiencia sin duda volveré a contratarlo. Tuve un par de solicitudes de último momento y con la mejor actitud se adaptó. Es un Gran Chef, con la mejor vibra para crear una atmósfera de confianza y sus platillos exquisitos y muy originales!

Chef Fernando is an incredible chef - attentive, kind, skilled, and just a great human. He was so thoughtful and an excellent communicator. We had him do our breakfasts while in Mexico City and every meal was delicious, beautiful, and really introduced us to the true tastes of Mexico. We tried a new fruit and everyone in our travel party loved him. He's hard to beat and recommend him to anyone!
