When it comes to unforgettable catering and private chef experiences on Oʻahu’s North Shore, Chef Luis Silva has long been a trusted name for kamaʻāina, visiting icons, and world-class brands. We are proud to share that Chef Luis and his culinary vision were recently spotlighted by Food Gurus Hawaii (https://foodgurususa.com/luismex/)!
The feature highlights Chef Luis's journey from learning traditional family recipes down in Baja, Mexico, to building Oʻahu’s premier event catering team at Silva Events Hawaii.
A Passion Rooted in Tradition & Island Ingredients
Growing up experiencing the rich food culture of Baja, Mexico, Chef Luis learned early on the importance of authentic flavors, dedication to the craft, and never cutting corners. Over his nearly 30 years living on the North Shore of Oʻahu, he has blended those traditional Mexican roots with fresh island-grown produce, local seafood, and Hawaiian hospitality.
As noted in the Food Gurus feature, Chef Luis reimagines classic Mexican and North Baja-style cuisine for modern palates—crafting signature fish tacos, house-made salsas, fresh ceviche, and oceanfront dining experiences that bring people together.
Trusted by Global Brands, Pro Athletes & Island Families
Chef Luis’s culinary talents have made him the go-to private chef for high-profile events across the island. His past clientele includes:
World Champion Surfers: Catering for legendary surfers including Kelly Slater and serving as the official event caterer for the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing.
Lifestyle Industry Leaders: "Luis Silva is an excellent chef and has been catering events for us in Hawaiʻi for many years," says Bob Hurley, founder of Hurley. "Luis' food and service are excellent and if you get the chance, ask him about his grandma's red roasted salsa. We buy it by the gallon."
Media Features: Featured on Travel Channel’s "No Reservations" with the late Anthony Bourdain during his Hawaiʻi episode.
