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 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!
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.”
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.

Tamarindo Grill Master(Diane & Hernan) made an amazing filet and lobster dinner for our family the night we were in Tamarindo! It was the perfect way to start our vacation celebration! Highly recommend! Their local knowledge and insight of the area was amazing too! Mike Zizzo2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Tamarindo Grillmaster especially if you are renting a home while on your stay. We had five couples and were able to satisfy everyone's tastes and appetites due to their diverse menu to select from and the amount of food prepared for the table. The food prepared by Diana and Hernan was truly outstanding and we appreciated the presentation and also an overview of the dishes/sauces upon serving. When compared to going out for a nice meal in town, it truly is an excellent price point and you also have the ability to enjoy your friends in the comfort of the home you are staying in. The dinners truly enhanced our overall vacation experience. Thank you Diana and Hernan! Leesa Zizzo2025-02-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! Diana and Hernan's services were perfection. Their menu options were fabulous. They came in two hours ahead of the meal to prep. They were efficient, professional and friendly. They provided meals on two different evenings and every menu item prepared was stellar. They cleaned dishes and when they left, you would not even know that a master chef meal had been prepared in the kitchen. It was spotless. You will not regret hiring them!!!! Misti Mitteis2025-02-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Diana and Hernan provided absolutely impeccable service! We live in Dallas and have high expectations for food and service and they exceeded both. Every aspect of the meal was incredible as well as the presentation and quality of food. We felt like the pricing was exceptional for the food and service provided. You will not be sad you booked them. Becca Schwartz2025-01-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a wonderful duo! Hernan and Diana were a wonderful addition to our bachelorette festivities. The booking process was easy with great communication. They curated a lively, delicious menu featuring a fun combination of local ingredients. They were also very nice, laid back, and cleaned the kitchen perfectly. 10/10 would recommend for your getaway!!!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 74 reviews
