The meals were phenomenal and everyone was friendly and professional. It made our trip to Costa Rica that much more magical! Mindy TougasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We could not have been more pleased with our experience with Tamarindo Grill Master. First and foremost, the food was delicious! Each protein came with a sauce, and they were each fresh and beautifully paired with our fish, chicken and steak. We had them come to our rented villa for a joint birthday dinner. The logistics and planning of the meal were incredibly easy. Great website, very responsive and professional. They had the whole place smelling amazing in no time. The experience was nothing short of 5 Star. We highly recommend TGM. Trey DouglasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely delightful experience with five star cuisine. Service and presentation top drawer. Lovely people who delivered on all fronts. Goli ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing dinner experience with grill master chef and the lovely Diana. The food was fantastic and their vibe was even better. We had steak and lobster tails. They were so organized and easy to work with. Diana secured us 2 beautiful cakes from a local baker too so that we could celebrate our birthdays. The fact that we were able to pay by credit card made it so much easier. We had a great time and I highly recommend. Daniel GriffinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Tamarindo Grill Master as a private chef for my boss and his family while they were on vacation in Tamarindo, and the experience was excellent. Communication was clear and easy from the start, which made planning seamless. The food was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and a big highlight of the trip. On top of that, the chef was incredibly hospitable, professional, and made everyone feel well taken care of throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend Tamarindo Grill Master to anyone looking for a great private chef experience in Tamarindo. Michelle MounceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked this private chef for Christmas evening after a long travel day to Costa Rica, and it was absolutely perfect! The taco bar was delicious and perfect for picky eaters. Everything was handled for us—cooking, serving, and cleaning. It made the night easy, relaxing, and stress-free. We would 100% book this experience again and highly recommend it to anyone wanting an elevated, worry-free meal. Angel RodriguezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked an intimate chef dinner at our Airbnb for Noche Buena (Christmas Eve) and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing and incredibly delicious. The chefs were not only insanely talented but also cool, friendly, and easy to be around, which made the night feel special yet relaxed. We decided to splurge on the full experience with a variety of appetizers, mains, sides, and desserts, all of which we got to choose from. Honestly, it’s hard to pick a favorite because everything was outstanding, but some must-tries are the Beef Empanadas and Fish Ceviche, the Congrio, and the Caribbean Coconut Chicken. For sides, the Chayote Picadillo was so flavorful, and dessert was the perfect ending, especially the Papaya Mousse. They beautifully set up our dinner table, handled everything seamlessly, and cleaned up all the dishes afterward, it was like they were never there. We were able to fully relax, enjoy the sunset, and be present in the moment without worrying about a thing. This was such a special, stress-free, and memorable night, and I couldn’t recommend this experience more. Perfect for celebrations or anyone wanting a truly elevated and intimate dining experience. Boye AdefesoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing experience with Tamarindo Grill Master! Chefs Diana and Hernan were awesome—so friendly and incredibly talented. The food was outstanding, and we loved how versatile the menu was, with great options for all appetites. They even went above and beyond by preparing the tuna and crevalle jack we caught that day, which made the experience extra special. Highly recommend!

Our visit to Tamarindo Beach was made so much better with the meals prepared and served by Diana and Hernan from Tamarindo Grill Master! We did three dinner for our group of 13 and everyone loved the combination of local specialties, traditional favorites and the great variety! Can't wait to come back and do this again one day! Kessler PamplinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The BEST private chef experience in Tamarindo. We recently booked them for two dinners while visiting. Our only mistake was not booking them for every night we were there! Hernan and Diana are true professionals and provided over the top meals and service. We caught tuna halfway through our trip and they were kind enough to incorporate it into our 2nd meal with short notice. Incredible food and incredible people! I wish I had taken better photos but we were too busy enjoying the food. Pura vida!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 97 reviews
