It's like a flavor party in my mouth and everyone's invited. I'm tempted to put on some dancing shoes and do the cha-cha just to express my taste bud's enthusiasm. The taste is so spot-on, I'm half-convinced my abuela must've been secretly hired as a consultant because it's like a teleportation device to my childhood dinner table. It's like they bottled up the nostalgia and sprinkled it on every dish. Seriously, if a meal can induce time-travel-like nostalgia, this is it.But wait, there's more!

Good meal prep delivery service. Great if you hate meal prepping for yourself or are too busy. Also great if you don't like eating the same thing all the time which usually happens when you meal prep. They're Latin fusion. So the meals have flavor. Been ordering these meals since the beginning of the year to control my weight and intake on food since I'm having my wedding this year. Weight management portions are small but you get used to it and portion control.The weight management plan gives you about 1200 cals a day, but they also send you some snacks. There is another plan called the balanced plan which is about 1800 calories a day. It basically has more food, bigger portions of the same meals. They had a keto plan as well which they recently got rid of. I guess more people were ordering the other plans.They deliver on Saturday for most places in the city and on Sundays to other places. There has to be someone at home to receive the box. They also have boxes with cooler bags inside if needed.The easiest way to contact them is through instagram. It's also the fastest way they get back to you. Their site is fotcmeals.com

This review is intended to allow FOTC to do better. The food is well seasoned and balanced. I enjoyed the service in the beginning. After a few weeks I had to cancel due to the excessive use of chicken breast as well as too many meals not being worth the price charged. I cannot justify paying $150 for 15 meals when breakfast consists of overnight oats topped with yogurt, oatmeal bars or waffle too hard to enjoy (pan de bono is a no no for me and sadly is constantly served as Friday breakfast), and both lunch and dinner is chicken all week long with the exception of 2-3 meals of beef. Also greenery is lacking with a few spinach leaves per meal. The up side is this experience has driven me to meal prep for myself which is considerably cheaper. I believe FOTC has the potential to be better, for the remaining customers I hope it does improve.

Simply put: Friends of the Chef is a spectacular meal prep service. Good quality good, well packaged, punctual deliveries and most importantly it 's VERY affordable.I promise you 'll never want to go grocery shopping again.

I normally don’t do reviews but the food is phenomenal. I order the weightloss meals for my daughter and I and it’s a lot of food. My daughter is an extremely picky eater but she loves it. This has her eating her veggies ????, I can’t believe it. Customer service is impeccable as well (I’m annoying and I know it). They were very patient and responsive to all of my questions. I worried about freshness as it’s for 5 days. Let’s be clear it was fresh up to 7 days. Absolutely delicious, if I can only get my household members to stop eating my meals it would be great lol.
