Parrillada dinner with a Private Chef in your villa/condo in Cabo or San Jose

Private Parrillada Dinner with a Chef in Your Cabo or San Jose Villa

Imagine arriving back at your accommodation after a day of sightseeing or lounging on the beach, only to be greeted by the aroma of sizzling meats and fresh vegetables. For around $95 per person, this private parrillada dinner experience offers you a relaxed, authentic night without the hassle of cooking or reservations. With a dedicated chef arriving at your villa or condo in Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo, you’ll get a delightful mix of Argentinian-style grilled meats, fresh salads, and decadent desserts — all tailored to your group.

What we love about this experience is how it combines convenience with a personal touch. First, having your own chef in a private setting means you won’t be sharing space or food with strangers, creating a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Second, the focus on high-quality ingredients and authentic flavors means you’re not just eating dinner; you’re experiencing a taste of Latin American grilling culture in your own home-away-from-home. One possible drawback, however, is that it requires confirmation with the local provider about access—so you’ll want to check ahead if your accommodation has restrictions.

This experience suits travelers celebrating a special occasion, families wanting a fun and memorable dinner, or groups simply craving a delicious, stress-free night. If good food, privacy, and authentic flavors are what you seek—this could be just the ticket.

A Deep Dive into the Experience

The Setting and Atmosphere

This experience is all about personalized luxury in a relaxed, private setting. Instead of a crowded restaurant, you enjoy a dinner in your villa or condo—perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The chef arrives with everything needed to prepare a classic parrillada, which is essentially a mixed grill with a distinct Latin American flair. The ambiance is casual yet festive, with the aroma of grilled meats filling your space, making it feel like a celebration.

The Menu Breakdown

You can expect a generous, multi-course meal that begins with Caprese mini brochettes—skewers of mozzarella, tomato, and basil—offering a fresh start. This segues into a crisp green salad with citrus vinaigrette and local cheese, setting a bright, refreshing tone. The main event is the parrillada itself, which includes a succulent Argentinian chorizo, adobe chicken, and baby BBQ ribs. The sides—baked potatoes, oregano-seasoned vegetables, and a variety of salsas—complement the grilled meats perfectly. For dessert, a vanilla ice cream drizzled with strawberry and mint coulis caps off the meal.

Considerations

You will need to confirm access with your accommodation, as this is external catering, and some properties may have restrictions. Also, gratuities are not included, so it’s customary to tip your staff if you’re pleased with the service.
