Working with Chef Luis Dinarte and the Guanacaste Food Experience was absolutely fantastic and they exceeded all expectations. Luis and his team handled everything seamlessly—they arrived on time, set the table beautifully, and prepared a variety of fresh, flavorful dishes. The intimate atmosphere they created allowed us to relax, enjoy each other’s company, and not worry about a single detail. The Eggs Benedict Breakfast was a highlight—the flavors and sauces made it truly exceptional. Luis speaks excellent English, which made communication effortless and ensured all our questions were answered. I highly recommend Chef Luis and his team!
