We were truly blessed in having Mena Catering for our wedding day. Every guest later on told how amazing the food and the service was. We had heard of how couples sometimes don't get to enjoy their wedding food or appetizers, but we are very happy that that was not our case. Their servers were so attentive in making sure that we and the wedding party enjoyed the appetizers as well. Amazing experience, no doubt. -

Nina Sent on 01/10/2018Our wedding was a huge success thanks to Mena Catering.
Mena Catering is amazing! Especially Lily de la Osa our wonderful event coordinator. Planning our wedding reception was a dream thanks to Lily, she was able to create the perfect menu and dining style for us. Her comprehensive knowledge and vast experience was a great help. Leading up to the wedding she made sure we had all our bases covered whether it was the rentals or the flowers. Our wedding went off without a hitch due in great part to Lily, we couldn't have done it without her.
Everyone who attended our reception has not stopped gushing over how delicious the food was at the wedding. Our guests loved everything from the hors d'oeuvres, the food stations, and the late night snacks. Many of the guests have gone on to say that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Mena's servers were awesome too, they made sure that we didn't miss out on any of the hors d'euvres and our glasses were always full.
I highly recommend Mena Catering to everyone, they made sure our special day was perfect.

User2727175 Sent on 08/15/2016My venue worked exclusively with Mena and for good reason! They were so professional and attentive through the whole process. If anyone ever asks me for wedding advice, I would insist they use them. The best in Miami! -
User2212637 Sent on 07/06/2015Highly recommended catering service!!! I hired Mena Catering for my wedding, after the first caterer we hired did not meet our expectations. We mainly dealt with Lilly and Liana. From the moment we met these ladies, my mom and I knew we were in good hands! They were very accommodating to our vision and requests, and they worked well with all of our other vendors. All of our guests were raving about the food - we had a Hispanic themed menu with churrasco, shrimp, and chimichurri sauce, sweet plantain mash and asparagus. Almost all of or guests commented to us how the good and the service was the best they've ever experienced at a wedding, and that out wedding was the best wedding they've ever been to from the food to the service to the beauty of the decor. I truly had an amazing wedding and a big part of that was because of all the work that Lilly and Liana put into making sure the everything was perfect! -
User2000455 Sent on 01/07/2015Where to even begin?!?! Lily was AMAZING throughout the whole planning process. I changed a lot of things around throughout the planning process and Lily was more than helpful. The day of the wedding, Leo and the staff were excellent. He always made sure my husband and I had food and a drink in our hands.
The food: AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!!! I wanted to keep eating all night and everyone else felt the same way. People kept coming up to us and telling us how much they LOVED the food. We had two stations; a Cuban Fried Rice Station and a Mash Station along with 6 hors d'oeuvres that were passed out.
I can't wait to have a party and use Mena! Highly recommend them!! -
User1985883 Sent on 12/27/2014I had a tradition wedding at my parents house with about 140 people. They were super flexible when in the last week my wedding jumped from 116 to 140. They created a menu to exactly what I was looking for and to match my particular needs and vision for my wedding. The result was amazing and unique. Some of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with and Lily was so helpful, understanding, and knowledge... and super patient!!!! The food and staff were simply phenomenal. After my wedding the guest raved about the food. When my husband and I got to eat at the end of the night they made sure we had a little of everything. I can not explain how OMG delicious it was. They will be my first call for any events I have in the future. -

Sophia Sent on 04/25/2013We are so happy that we hired Mena Catering to cater our wedding. From the start, they were responsive, kind and professional. For a bride planning a wedding from out of state, I needed vendors who could communicate with me well over the internet and phone. They never dropped the ball in our conversations and this made me confident I had made the right choice. Also, when we had our tasting, the food was delicious. Working with Lily, Jorge and the rest of the Mena team was truly wonderful. Everyone raved about the food and service at the wedding, and Quincy and I were thrilled to our own personal waiter throughout the evening. We were also touched to have Jorge stop by to say hi. It's these kind of personal touches that definitely know they go above and beyond for their clients. We are happy to recommend them to anyone who needs their event catered. Our food was marvelous!! Guests are still talking about it. We can't thank them enough!
Sincerely,
Sophia and Quincy -
User1148512 Sent on 04/30/2013I had heard great things about Mena Catering but they turned out to be even better than we imagined! We hired Mena Catering for our cocktail hour and sit-down dinner. The hor’devours were delicious and made with both our cultures in mind! We even had our own signature drink for the cocktail hour (Strawberry Basil Mojito) that was a hit! All of our guests were raving that they had never been to a wedding with such great food and service. The food did not feel mass produced and is top quality. The service was impeccable… very professional and everything went according to schedule. Both Jorge Mena and Lily were a pleasure to work with. Mena himself attended our wedding and made sure that we were happy with his service. We will definitely be using them for any other event and we whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone. Thank you Jorge and Lily! Ele & Umbee

Crystal Sent on 01/19/2012Mena Catering is hands down the best caterer in South Florida. Not only is the food outstanding, but the presentation is artwork. The Mena team was extremely welcoming and patient throughout the entire process, even when I changed the menu 6 weeks before the wedding to be more upscale and boy was it. Everyone still talks about the fried tempura orchid appetizer filled with a lobster mousse, the lemon caper mahi-mahi and the Willy Wonka dessert bar! Mr. Mena personally handled my tasting and met me at the venue to discuss options for the food presentation and the rentals. His staff went out of their way to get my linen rental from a company in New York to match my theme and Lily was my go-to back up.
On the day of the wedding, Mr. Mena had one of his staff waiting for my husband (still getting used to saying that) and myself with our favorite drinks in hand. Arturo was assigned to shadow our every movement to ensure that we ate and that our cup was never dry. It was such a relief not to have to think of getting food or something to drink.
I had some important guests in attendance from overseas and they have made comments of how my wedding was better than and/or on par with some events (including royal ones) that they had attended previously. Mena Catering was a huge factor in having that statement made and you will not be disappointed int his family run business that can also coordinate your entire wedding. Thank You to the amazing Mena family for your dedication, support and stellar service!!!
