Kua Private Chef Services

The best dining in Cabo is not at a restaurant or 5-star hotel. It's at our wonderful Pedregal villa with Chef Ari and her team. My family and friends were greeted with a Mexican themed welcome dinner our first night. Innovative menus with the freshest of ingredients and made from scratch dishes followed. Her love of cooking was only surpassed by her enthusiasm for making our experience the best it could be. We loved it all ................... Chef Ari is a star.

We worked with Chef Ari in October 2019, where she served as the private chef for our group of eight adults over the course of five days while we were vacationing in Cabo. Chef Ari was phenomenal, and I cannot recommend her services and cooking highly enough! During our stay in a villa, she cooked two dinners/cocktail hours for us (including a special 40th birthday celebration), two lunches, and breakfast each morning. Each meal was delicious and made with care from the freshest ingredients. It is important to Chef Ari to support local farmers, and she visits these farmers each day and also preserves this produce in different ways, such as homemade harissa and pickles. She bakes fresh breads and pastries each morning and also makes her own ice cream. To have this variety and quality of fresh dishes every day was truly amazing! She also exposed our group (visiting from NYC and LA) to different local ingredients, such as huitlacoche, and explained what made them special. Prior to the trip, we worked closely with her to plan our menus and appreciated her responsiveness, creativity, and detail orientation. We loved working with Chef Ari and can't wait to return to Cabo again to enjoy more of her delicious cooking!

What a wonderful experience! Chef Ari was amazing and the food was better than expected. We will 100% be booking this experience every year and are looking forward to going to her house next year to enjoy her cooking again. I've been to Cabo every year for the last 7 years and this was by far my favorite experience yet. Can't wait to do this again!

Ari did an amazing job cooking for me and my friends. She cooked a lot of great meals and provided us with some great, authentic Mexican options!

Ari, Honey, and Raul provided a cooking class and dinner at our renta house. It was great fun learning how to make flour tortillas, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Add to that the flank steak with pipian, the great dessert, and Raul's killer margaritas, and we had a fabulous meal. I highly recommend this team for a wonderful experience.

What a great experience. First, we did a cooking class and we enjoyed it so much we booked a private dinner. Loved Chef Ari. She made the experience so fun and we learned so many great things that we can use at home when cooking. This is a MUST do!!!!

Chef Ari was so nice and we loved being in her home learning her recipes. What a beautiful property and amazing kitchen. The entire staff was amazing. Our group, ages 18-55, loved the cooking class and great lunch. We will definitely do this again!!!

Wonderful cooking class in a beautiful private home! Chef Ari was awesome, as was the bartender Juan. She made the class both fun and educational, the food we made was delicious. We loved it so much we booked a private dinner the following night!

Fantastic experience!! The welcome drink, cooking class , mixed cocktails and dinner was unbelievable! We loved it so much we went back for a chefs dinner. Ari, Jose and Abram were amazing!! Chef Ari's house was gorgeous also!

Our family had the privilege of enjoying a private dinner prepared by Chef Ari and the experience exceeded every expectation!! The food was absolutely delicious, but what stood out most was the way she cared for everyone around her. She was attentive to our dietary restrictions, took time to teach the children knife safety and cooking skills, and made each person feel seen and valued throughout the evening. What impressed me most was how she cared for her team. Watching her interact with them revealed a leader who genuinely cares for and invests in her people. That level of care and leadership is rare and inspiring. Her professionalism, kindness, patience, and attention to detail created far more than a meal--it created a memorable experience for our entire family. If you're looking for a talented chef who serves exceptional food while leading with genuine hospitality and care, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Chef Ari and the Kua private chef service made us dinner twice and dropped off lunch twice for my family (8 adults), who were renting a house for a long Cabo weekend. The food was amazing, the drinks were stellar. The food was so fresh and so tasty. We went to dinner one night at the Waldorf and all commented that the margaritas that Ari and team made were better! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when I'm in Mexico.

We had the best time in Cabo during out dining experience with Ari!! The six of us found the experience to be priceless!!!

Chef Ari is very professional. She has a great team of extremely nice and capable people to help her from prep, to serve to making drinks. She did most meals on a weekend getaway with 15 people and even though this crowd was vwry demanding, she delivered in a great way. Great tasting fresh food prepared in a very elegant manner. It was lovely to have them serve us throughout the weekend. Her staff bartenders are amazing and were able to prepare the best maragaritas and expresso martinis. Was such a fan!! Highly recommend.

Fantastic food and service. My family and I were on a vacation to Cabo, and we decided to get a private, and we found Kua online with great reviews. We wanted to make sure to support small and local businesses that do authentic Mexican cooking. We contacted Ari with only one day's notice, and thankfully, two members of her team were able to accommodate us. Jose and Janitzia were very professional and gracious with their service. They served a 5-course meal, and every bit of it was delicious. Most of the food was made with local ingredients, and you could taste it! They came to our casita rental around 4:50, prepped, cooked, and were serving us by 5:30. There were 4 of us. I highly recommend Kua for your next private chef experience. Thank you Ari, Cami, Jose, and Janitzia.

You want a nice intimate dinner with love ones.Their food is amazing the team chemistry it's great.They make you feel at home.

We booked Chef Ari for a week of lunches and dinners during a holiday trip to Los Cabos. We were a group of 13 (8 adults, 5 kids) traveling from San Francisco and we have high standards when it comes to food. The entire team from Kua Private Chef truly exceeded our expectations. All the food was phenomenal, but the Mexican cuisine really stood out as exceptional. The homemade flour tortillas, ice cream, ceviches, barbacoa and cochinita pibil were favorites within our group. Before each meal Chef Ari told us about the local farms and producers where she sources her ingredients. We also had some special dietary needs within our group (gluten free, dairy free) and the team was extremely accommodating and took care to prepare substitute dishes for these diners. We were a little nervous prior to our arrival due to some hiccups in the communications around our menus, but once we arrived Chef Ari took care to walk us through all the meals and to make changes and modifications for the week ahead. We're planning to return to Cabo again next year and will definitely be booking Kua Chef Services for our next group trip.

If you're looking for a private dinner or any type of catering just stop looking and book with KUA immediately. A group of 9 women went to Cabo for an amazing weekend and we hired KUA for a welcome lunch & margaritas, breakfast on 2 mornings and for our last dinner. Each meal was perfectly prepared to our specific dietary restrictions and beautifully plated and presented by our Butler Raul. He was so sweet and attentive to 9 loud women. He constantly filled our drinks, made fresh juice each morning and cleared away plates after every course. Any changes to the menu were immediately communicated and adjusted with Antonio (assistant to Arianna) via WhatsApp. He was fabulous to work with and never sounded annoyed when we needed to make adjustments. Chef Bernardo and Chef Ariana made some of our most favorite dishes, including octopus, ceviche, prawns and many others). The takeaway is that you won't be disappointed ordering any seafood!

Fantastic service and delicious food! We had breakfast and dinner service over a 3 day weekend for a dozen of us at our villa and we absolutely loved it.

I hosted a 50-person wedding at a villa in Cabo, and Chef Ari and her team truly exceeded every expectation. One of the things I appreciated most was how collaborative Chef Ari was during the planning process. She took the time to hop on multiple calls with me, helping not just with the menu, but also with the overall flow of the evening. Everything from the schedule to how the tables would look. I didn't have a wedding planner, so her guidance was incredibly valuable. It was clear she genuinely cared about making the night special!!! On the day of the wedding, her team went above and beyond. They helped set up the tables and delivered a level of service that completely surprised me in the best way. Throughout the evening, staff attentively circulated among guests, refilling drinks, clearing plates, and keeping everything tidy without ever being intrusive. The bartending was fantastic as well. And most importantly, the food. It was absolutely delicious: fresh, beautifully prepared, and easily some of the best wedding food I've ever had. Many of my guests said the same thing. Chef Ari and team, thank you for everything!!! I truly couldn't recommend your services more highly!
