Hernán Heredia

Grill Master

Hernán was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, where fire-grilled steaks are what's for dinner. He grew up with a surf board under his arm, and it's the surf that eventually landed him here in Tamarindo, Costa Rica — he's called Tamarindo home since 2019. His favorite things, besides frying up the world's most amazing empanadas, are surfing, reggae music, and building bonfires on the beach.

There's no combo more fun, fascinating, and delicious than Hernán's expert Argentinian grill skills, Diana's Pennsylvania Dutch baking background, and almost 30 years of life lessons in Costa Rica.
