Cocino experiencias privadas con técnica, producto y pasión para nutrir tu paladar en la Riviera Maya.

Raul Garcia

Cocino con equilibrio y pasión para que cada mesa se convierta en un gran momento.

Todo empezó con pasión y gratitud, y con el tiempo fui evolucionando mi oficio viajando para entender los fundamentos culinarios de distintas culturas. Esa búsqueda me llevó a conocer grandes gastronomías, a seguir formándome con talleres y a trabajar en diferentes lugares desde Norteamérica hasta Sudamérica, y también en Italia y otros puntos de Europa.

Aprendí a cocinar en la casa de mi abuela y, desde ahí, fui construyendo mi camino con libros, cursos y cocina profesional en restaurantes reconocidos. Hoy pongo esa experiencia al servicio de tu mesa, con una cocina que combina lo mejor de lo español y lo mexicano, y el encanto de sabores del mundo.

Quiero escribirte

Para mí, cocinar es nutrición, pasión y equilibrio: naturaleza, consciencia y un gran momento para compartir y disfrutar.

Así es como yo cocino y creo experiencias

Cocino para nutrir y celebrar

Para mí, cocinar es nutrición y pasión con equilibrio: trabajo desde la naturaleza y la consciencia, y cuido que cada plato se sienta como un momento para compartir y disfrutar.

Mi trayectoria nace en casa y se afina en grandes cocinas

Yo aprendí a cocinar en la casa de mi abuela y después me formé en cocinas profesionales como The Slanted Door, Philosophy, Ósmosis y Spago, donde reforcé técnica, disciplina y consistencia.

Mi secreto está en el producto y el balance

Mi secreto en la cocina es encontrar los mejores productos y tratarlos con el mismo respeto para lograr balance de sabor, aplicando técnica con cuidado y pasión por este oficio.

Mis menús

Yo diseño menús para experiencias privadas, combinando técnica, producto y sabores que viajan entre lo local, lo mediterráneo, lo mexicano y lo japonés. Me adapto a tu ocasión para que la comida sea memorable de principio a fin.

Historias y testimonios

Raul was awesome! His team was quick and polite and the cleanup was perfect. But food... the food was incredible. He sourced local ingredients and told us the story behind every dish and we had a wonderful time during the dinner. Highly highly recommend using Raul for any private parties you organize.

Raul was incredible and in many ways made our trip! Every meal was a masterpiece. He continued to exceed expectations with each meal. He went above and beyond and had no off switch. He was thoughtful (bought flowers just because, attentive (bought croissants for after his service as he realized we loved them and would enjoy next morning), engaging, kind and oh so talented. It was a gift to watch someone with such skill and craft in person and have the pleasure of his company and amazing food. Until next time!!!! Thanks a million Raul.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Chef Raul prepare a special, custom menu for my surprise proposal meal, and it was nothing short of perfect. From start to finish, his communication was excellent—he really listened to my vision and gave thoughtful suggestions that took the evening to the next level. He was incredibly punctual, professional, and detail-oriented, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. The food was absolutely incredible, and his attention to detail helped make this one of the most memorable nights of our lives. Highly recommend Chef Raul for any special occasion!

Raul exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was delicious, professionally presented and served, high quality fresh products he used to cook, and he cooked the whole dinner from scratch at our place— no pre-made things or whatever. Our group of friends enjoyed his company while observing the cooking process, and it was a great experience. Even though our Airbnb villa didn't have an oven like it said, Raul flawlessly cooked up a delicious paella with lobsters over an open fire in our backyard. It was an additional adventure and surprising moment for us, which we enjoyed a lot! It was my first time booking a chef online, and Raul made it awesome. Definitely going to book him again next time we are in Tulum!

Chef Raul and his team were absolutely incredible!! I hired him to prepare a dinner for my friend’s birthday and the meal, presentation and wine pairings went above and beyond our expectations. Many people said the ceviche was the best they had ever had and the ribeye was cooked to perfection. The pairing sauces gave the dishes a nice kick and up leveled the flavor profiles. We would absolutely recommend this chef, the entire party had a blast!

Gabriela Fernandez

Chef Raul was incredible. He was very understanding of the shift in my plans and was more than accommodating. More importantly the food was outstanding. Cannot recommend the duck breast more! It was one of the best duck dishes I’ve had if not the best.

Aisha

Chef Raul was an amazing and attentive chef. My group and I were thoroughly impressed with his cooking and timing of the tasting course. I wouldn't just recommend Chef Raul, I would say that his dinner service is required for any good vacation in the area.

The price turned out to be more than what was first paid for. Once the chef showed up we were told that alcohol and grocery were not included in the price that airbnb charged. It would have been nice to know this from the start of the booking. Had to have the dinner twice to go to an bank to pay for additional cost. Food and service were good but having to now double of what was initially charged was a bummer.
