My husband and I loved our experience with Chef Lagos. He was very accommodating when guests could not eat or drink certain items. His food and service was raved about all night and after. We would be happy to have him cook for us again. He made it stress free for us, so we could enjoy our guests. Food was his signature tacos, Ahi Tuna tostadas, salsas, Paella Negra and mini churros with cinnamon & sugar dipped in chocolate with vanilla ice cream…..it was delicious. Highly recommend.

Chef Luis was fantastic! The menu he devised for our party of 24 was creative and delicious – and in very generous amounts. I’m still thinking about the oxtail croquettes and ahi tostadas and the grilled salmon with a pepita and cilantro crust. SO good!

He was easy to work with and left my kitchen spotlessly clean. Understandably, it was hard to get the plates out all at once, so the service was a little challenging, which is the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars to the service. I would hire Chef Luis again in a heartbeat.

Chef Luis was great. He made us a wonderful meal that no one could believe was dairy free. He also offered to help by serving cocktails which was beyond our agreed upon expectations.

I booked chef Luis to cook a dinner at a house up in Napa for a bachelorette party this past weekend. It was awesome! Luis arrived right when he said he would and basically started cooking right away. He was also very happy to let a couple of the girls help out with the cooking, as they wanted to learn how to make what he was cooking for dinner.

Luis was very personable and easy going, and the food was fantastic! Everyone at the dinner had a great meal and a great time, and I would definitely recommend chef Luis to anyone looking to hire a chef for an event!

Luis was perfect in every regard. He was very responsive and communicative, and very pleasant when he was around. His dinner was delicious – there was nothing I’d ask to improve upon. I would book Luis again without hesitation.

We had the most wonderful dinner with Chef Lagos! We bought this for our parents and grandmother as a Christmas gift. It was the perfect gift! The meal was absolutely delicious. We asked for a substitution on the appetizer (since I can’t eat blue cheese), and Chef Lagos came up with the tastiest tomato and burrata cheese bruschetta. The green peppercorn steak was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was amazing. Chef Lagos is the sweetest man who graciously talked with us after our dinner for several minutes. We would highly recommend this to our friends. It was the perfect night, and we loved Chef Lagos!!

We had a very nice dinner with family with Chef Luis. He was even great with the three kids present, and had the 3 year old and 4 year old helping him out as assistant chefs.

Chef Luis prepared an amazing lunch with many courses, all of which were wonderful. Highlights included the crab martini, tuna tostadas and mushroom empanadas. He is a fabulous chef and we will definitely look to hire him again.

Chef Luis Lagos was amazing. Seriously the best meal I’ve had. All the guests were happy, as were we (which was a big plus, considering our guests are quite the food connoisseurs, working for a tech company that serves chef-prepared meals daily). We especially enjoyed the appetizers – the marinated mozzarella and basque squid rings were to die for. On top of the delicious food, Chef Luis was great to work with. Very professional, kind, and flexible. I truly hope to work with him again.

We had Luis cook for 32 people for our 1 year-old’s birthday party – this is really just an excuse for the adults to get together! The food was excellent – we asked for a more relaxed “back-yard grill” menu and he did his signature appetizers and specialty sliders (chicken, pork, and beef). All our guest were impressed with Luis and raved about the food. Luis and his assistant handled everything – cooking, cleaning, and part-time bar-tending (when they weren’t preparing the food). Would recommend to anyone.

Chef Luis and his assistant Danny turned our 9th annual Harvest Dinner into a culinary delight. I appreciated his prompt response to my emails and we only changed his initially proposed menu once and it was perfect. I requested his signature Chile Rellenos to be featured on the menu and I was so glad I did. The other outstanding items were the oysters, ahi tostadas, tomato soup, the fantastic chocolate cake, and cheese selection. (Okay maybe that is most everything)

The buzz in the air was loud and delightful, a guest licked the bowl when the tomato soup was gone, and my gluten free guest was impressed at the special effort made for her. After nine years of the Harvest Dinner tradition and with some serious foodies in the crowd, I have no hesitation declaring a food crush on Chef Luis. Wonderful.

Chef Luis Lagos was wonderful! Kitchit website was problematic and customer service when trying to resolve the website issue was unhelpful.
