The chef

The table has a host.

Chef Juan Francisco Quintero

Founder / Private Chef

A background in biology shapes a curious, ingredient-conscious kitchen — how something grows, what it wants on the plate, and how to keep it honest.

For more than ten years that curiosity has lived at other people's tables: international guests, a villa kitchen, and a meal that still feels like a conversation.

The menu follows the people at the table.

Ways to gather

  1. We had an absolutely incredible private chef experience in Tulum with Juan. From start to finish, everything was exceptional — the food was fresh and spectacular, the drinks were strong and delicious, and the entire evening felt thoughtful, warm, and special. The guacamole and the churros were my favorite, so flavorful. Juan was incredibly friendly and kind, and we loved getting to know him and hearing about his history while he prepped, cooked and served us. We booked both his welcome package and dinner package, and both were outstanding. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Juan to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Tulum. Do yourself a favor and book him! He is worth it.
