Nahui Co Tapir

I create private dining experiences where local Costa Rican ingredients tell their story.

I use cooking as a way to share the essence of Costa Rica through local produce, careful preparation, and craftsmanship. I design each experience to feel personal and unique—whether I’m cooking in oceanfront villas or in the mountains—blending Costa Rican traditions with Latin and global flavors. I offer signature set menus and I can also tailor meals to dietary preferences and custom requests. I take care of everything—ingredients, setup, service, and cleanup—so you can focus on enjoying the food and the stories around the table.

Premium local & seasonal ingredients

I learned to cook in five-star hotels in Argentina and by working across kitchens throughout South America, and I bring that experience into every menu I serve.

Full-service experience (We handle everything)

In my kitchen there’s no secret: I cook with love, skill, and authenticity—creating food that’s real, honest, and entirely about flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Costa Rica?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 97.50 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Chef's special, Local, Fusion and Seafood/Fish. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Costa Rica?

To book me in Costa Rica, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
