Based in Chicago, Illinois, Cocina Fusion offers catering services to clients planning weddings and special events. This catering company has worked with high-end venues and exclusive kitchens throughout its tenure.

Experience
For over 20 years, the team at Cocina Fusion has been tasked with delivering delicious, mouth-watering recipes. Answering this call, Chef Anaxi Ayala has drawn inspiration from his Latino heritage to craft scrumptious meals. Combining this base with various American styles, Cocina Fusion presents new and innovative flavors.
Cuisine
Couples can choose from three styles of menus, including Latin & American fusion, traditional Mexican, or Italian. Latin & American fusion provides vegetarian options in addition to reinvented classics, like a vegetable tostada, pasilla steak, and chimichurri chicken. The traditional Mexican menu offers classic favorites as well as a customizable taco bar. Finally, the Italian menu provides a variety of pasta-based dishes, like lasagna and shrimp scampi. Couples can complete their meal offerings by adding on sweets, such as a satisfying crepe or charming churro bar.

The BEST of the best
Beyond just the food, their full service was outstanding. The team helped the entire day flow so smoothly, allowing my husband and me to truly relax and enjoy every moment. Working with Cindy was such a pleasure — she was professional, kind, and so genuinely invested in making our day perfect.
We are endlessly grateful for Cocina Fusion and would recommend them a million times over to anyone looking for unforgettable catering. Thank you for making our wedding day even more special
Stop your search.. Cocina Fusion is the best!
Best food at the best price!
But what truly sets Cocina Fusion apart is their exceptional service. They made sure that my partner and I actually got to eat on our wedding day by bringing apps to our suite right after the ceremony. It was such a thoughtful gesture and truly made us feel taken care of (highly recommend the empanadas for this part!).
The staff at Cocina Fusion were also amazing. They were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our guests were well taken care of. Overall, Cocina Fusion exceeded all of our expectations and played a huge role in making our wedding day perfect. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dream caterer - they truly are the best in Chicago. Thank you to Cindy and everyone at Cocina Fusion for making our special day even more memorable!

Cocina Fusion is so amazing to work with! They have everything you want in a caterer in Chicago - amazing food, and even better service. I love that the owners are the ones who actually create your menu AND cook your food. It really gives them something special compared to everyone else. They have a fun flair and unique menu items but they will also CUSTOMIZE a menu to anything you want. I have seen them make blackened catfish and a biscuit bar (which was totally off menu for them!) for one of my clients and it was still incredible. I highly recommend them!
Juliana and her team are incredible to work with! Always a seem less perfect event when Cocina Fusion is catering! Stan Mansion loves having you here and your food is awesome! Hats off to the Chef!
