Home - Grill Master, Tamarindo, Costa Rica

We love Food.

For us, combining the textures, colors, tastes, and smells of our ingredients is both an art and a delightful form of play. You’ll taste this love in every bite!

We Love Costa Rica

We couldn’t say whether we chose Costa Rica, or Costa Rica chose us, but it’s our favorite place in the world to be. We love sharing its beauty, its abundance, and its joy!

We love to make friends

For us, each invitation to share a meal with a family or group of friends in a vacation home is an honor. We love to hear your stories, answer your questions, share our experiences, and walk out the door saying, “See you later” instead of “Goodbye.”

Who are we?

We’re Tamarindo Grill Master, the best private chef in Tamarindo. We’re fun people, we love to cook, and we’re all about good vibes! There’s no combo more fun, fascinating, and delicious than our mix of Hernan’s expert Argentinian grill skills and Diana’s Pennsylvania Dutch baking background stirred together with their years of life lessons in Costa Rica. We know you’re going to love our food because we love our food! We know you’re going to enjoy sharing your kitchen with us because we enjoy sharing the kitchen with each other.

  Would highly recommend! Has them cater a dinner for my 40th bday and had the beef & fish fajita bar. Was absolutely amazing and the Costa Rican type margarita is my new favorite drink! Diana is a gem and was amazing! She made sure we didn’t have to lift a finger. Would definitely hire them again!!

  Diana and Hernan were one of our favorite parts of our trip to tamarindo. The stuffed avocado appetizer and bacon wrapped steak were my favorite dishes. We had multiple people in our party with dietary restrictions and some were very strict. They accommodated perfectly and made sure everyone had a delicious meal.

  There is nothing better than having a gourmet meal prepared for you in the comfort of your own space (especially when they're young kids around).  To have someone shop, prepare and clean up after is absolute heaven. Amazing meal and just what we were hoping for to kick off our vacation in Costa Rica. Diana and Hernan arrived on time and were expertly prepared to create a delicious spread for us. Very professional with a genuine love for people and food that shines through their work. Highly recommend and will be calling on them again for our next visit. Pura Vida!

  Hernan and Diana were FABULOUS!!! I booked them prior to arriving in Costa Rica from the U.S and the communication was awesome.  Diana and I developed a menu for a farewell dinner for our group of 12. I was able to make substitutions to account for allergies and dietary restrictions and she never told me she couldn’t do something.  Very accommodating and helpful.  Now the Food! It was soooo delicious and fresh! Diana and Hernan showed up on time with all the ingredients for our 3 course meal and they cooked everything in our kitchen. We had empanadas and cerviche and everyone was licking their fingers asking for more. Then our main course of fresh red snapper, stuffed chicken and shrimp pasta came out and we all got quiet because we were so busy enjoying the flavors. We all agreed it was the best meal we had in Costa Rica!  After our meal, they cleaned the kitchen, wrapped up the leftovers and our kitchen was spotless.  I can’t say enough good things about Tamarindo Grill Master. Please, do yourselves a favor and book them if you’re in need of a private chef while in the Tamarindo area.  Five stars!!!

  We had an awesome experience with Tamarindo Grill Master and would highly recommend them if you are looking for a no stress & fun Home Chef experience.  Diana and Hernan were professional but also very friendly and a joy to work with.  They have an incredible menu of potential meal options but were also open to what was fresh and local that day.  They were easy to coordinate with and responsive when we were planning our date and meal before our trip. If you are deciding between which chef to hire look no further!  They rock.

  The Tamarindo Grillmaster meals we had were a highlight of our vacation! We loved the first night so much that we had them back for a second evening. Diana and Hernan were SO easy to work with and were professional and friendly from start to finish. From the appetizers all the way to dessert, easily the best meals of the week!
