An incredible dinner with Chef Coty we will never forget!

We hired Chef Coty to cook for our group of 36 in Mexico and honestly it was one of the highlights of the trip. She put together a 3 course meal that started with the best ceviche mixto I've ever had, then guests got to choose between tikin xic, pollo achiote, or chile rellenos for the main. Every single person at the table was happy with their food. Oh and the tres leches for dessert was increíble. What really stood out beyond the food was how easy she was to work with. Pricing was totally transparent from the start, no surprises, which you don't always get when coordinating something this size. She was super warm and friendly throughout the whole process, and her team was just as great. Everyone was attentive and genuinely kind. If you're in the Playa Car area and need a private chef, especially for a larger group, Chef Coty is the move. We'll always remember our amazing dinner with Chef Coty's team. Can't recommend her enough.

Dear Rob, since the day you contacted me to inquire about this very important event, I was impressed with your Spanish, how friendly you were and so easy to work with. This dinner I made it a personal matter that it would turn out PERFECT! 🤩 Thank you for this lovely review and for trusting me with the food. Was super lovely to meet you, your wife, family and friends. Saludos de Playa! Coty

This cooking class was amazing! Chef Coty was wonderful and really took the time to explain everything as well as the culture behind it. She also took the time to talk and get to know everyone. We had such a wonderful time and highly recommend this to anyone!

Two thumbs up 👍🏼 👍🏼

Location was easy to find; the YouTube video was extremely helpful. The house is located in a safe neighborhood in a gated community. Our instructor was very welcoming and provided a fun and laid back experience. The detail provided for the recipes were fabulous and we made an incredible fish dish. A lot of the ingredients were already pre cut and ready for you to use; which helped keep the evening moving along. We got a lesson in different types of peppers and what they would be used with in specific dishes. She had samples of the different peppers as well which was really handy to see. The tequila and mezcal tasting was done at the end of the evening with dessert. Found this super informative and useful. The group of people we were with were fantastic; which made the experience that much better. ❤️

Great for team activity!

Our team took this cooking class, and it was easily one of the highlights of the trip. The house was absolutely beautiful, and the entire experience felt thoughtful and well-designed from start to finish. The recipes were adapted to everyone’s dietary restrictions and preferences, which made it inclusive and seamless for the whole group. Coty and her team were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. They created a relaxed, fun atmosphere that made it easy for our small group of coworkers to connect, laugh, and genuinely enjoy the experience together. It was the perfect team activity and something we would all highly recommend!

Our menu: "Timbal" of fish ceviche, mango avocado and sweet potato w chipotle "alino", enchalada suiza & cocnut pie

This was an exceptional experience. We learned and enjoyed learning the importance of the combination of ingredients ( ie: salt) and layering of flavors. We were fortunate to experience Coti in a private chef session as well as in a 5 hr. class session while we were in Playa this last week. We enjoyed the homey feeling with our small group of 5 international guests and we appreciative of the pleasant and welcoming staff support interactions

Loved it!

My family and I attended this cooking class and it was amazing! We did the 3 course meal and have already made some of the recipes again since returning home. I would recommend this to anyone traveling in the area! Even my brothers who are not too interested in cooking (or taking classes) really enjoyed it! Thanks for a wonderful experience! We will be booking another class next time we are in Playa!

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing this 🧡 It truly means a lot to me. I loved having your family in the class, and it makes me so happy to know you’re already recreating the dishes at home. I can’t wait to welcome you back to Playa next time! Saludos! Coty
