Always an amazing meal
★★★★★May 8, 2025
Garrett and his family are amazing. Great food, great company and great fun. Fantastic to watch the process of prepping, cooking, serving and, of course, consuming. We have had them cook for us many times and they never disappoint.

We used Pura Vida Catering for our group of 7, and did the “welcome package.” Chef Garrett and his wife prepared a fantastic meal... Will definitely use Pura Vida Catering the next time we are in their catering area!! Loved it, and them!

Garret and his team cooked us a fantastic Costa Rican meal during our stay in Guanacaste... I would definitely hire him for his culinary delight!

Chef Garrett was extremely kind and patient despite having to wait almost an hour before we could let him into our Airbnb. After that he cooked a delicious traditional Costa Rican meal.

It was our first time in Costa Rica and we brought our kids... I can highly recommend having Garrett and Marcella cook for you while you are in Guanacaste.

I hosted a yoga retreat for 14 guests in Tamarindo... Can’t wait to see our dear friends again and be spoiled with their exceptional cooking and presentation!
