Cooking has been my stage since childhood: I tested recipes while Italian opera filled the air, juggling delightful triumphs and spectacular flops. A near‑miss car accident made me realise life is too short for half‑hearted dreams, so I left Communication Sciences and trained at Le Cordon Bleu Mexico. Ten years and 30+ five‑star private services later, I craft stories on every plate for guests across Playa del Carmen. I refined my technique at Le Cordon Bleu and Hofmann School of Hospitality in Spain, grounding creativity in solid mise en place so imagination can soar.
Each course is a chapter inspired by Mexican roots, Mediterranean wanderings and Japanese finesse.
I champion Riviera Maya produce, sourcing fresh seafood, heritage corn and regional spices.
A disciplined mise en place lets creativity flow, delivering flawless timing and restaurant‑level plating.
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 1758 MXN, 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.
I cook Chef's special, Local, Fusion, Mediterranean, Italian and Japanese. 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.
To book me in Mexico, 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.
Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering, Romantic night and Foodie adventure. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.
Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
We had an incredible experience with Chef Jorge Criado! During our Playa del Carmen vacation, we had 4 dinners and a brunch prepared for us by Chef Jorge. He worked with us extensively in advance of our trip to propose menus, and customize them for food allergies. The menus were wonderfully varied to showcase a variety of cuisines, and to allow us to experience fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. Our meals were all delicious. Chef Jorge did a great job presenting the dishes to us, telling us about what inspired him, and showing his passion for his craft. Everything was wonderful, and we would definitely love to experience his cooking again!
