Absolutely the BEST in Miami

Mena did an absolutely amazing job with catering our wedding and bringing everything together! We got so many compliments on the food and service. Highly recommended the plantain crusted grouper and cacio e pepe station! I wish we could do it all over again!

Talk of the Night!

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.

Our 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.

We had a wonderful experience with Mena for our wedding. Our event coordinator, Lily De La Osa, was so professional and accommodating. She gave us great tips on how to make our dream wedding menu become a reality within our budget. She listened to what we wanted and made recommendations tactfully and appropriately. She knows her trade well and is very well-regarded amongst the other vendors in the wedding business.

In addition, Lily went above and beyond her role. When the rental company messed up the orders several times before the wedding, she revised the lists over and over again, and she contacted them directly (which she needed not do) in order to take things off my plate. On the day of the event, when the rental company was late in setting up, Lily herself moved their tables, set up the chairs, taped the dance floor... She did what she needed to do in order to ensure everything got done just in time before the guests walked in (and it wasn't even her job!).

Our guests commented on the quality of the catering: the steak was cooked appropriately, the temperature of the food was just right, and the presentation was delightful. I thought the hors d'oeuvres were even better at the wedding than at the tasting!!!

Additionally, the wait staff (especially the special server assigned to us) was very gracious!

Our wedding was a special night that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives, and it wouldn’t have been what it was had it not been for vendors like Mena Catering. Would recommend them to everyone in a heartbeat!

My 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!

We have had the honor and privilege of knowing Mena Catering for several years now. We have personally seen their work, and we knew that when it came time to plan our wedding, Mena Catering was the only option!! There are not enough words to express our gratitude towards Mena Catering. Working with them was a dream, they exceeded all our expectations and then some. From the initial days of our planning, till the week before the big day, Lily assisted us with anything we needed.. She was very professional, and very kind from day one. With Lily's hard work and dedication, we were able make all our wedding dreams a reality. It is common for the bride and groom to miss out on cocktails and food as they are busy saying hello and mingling with guests, but that was not the case with us. We were treated like royalty!! We had the honor of having Eddy as our go to person, who was there with drinks and food whenever we wanted. Mena Catering made it a point to make sure that we savored and enjoyed each moment of our wedding. There are no words to express how delicious our dinner and late night snacks where. Each piece of food we tasted was filled with flavor and creativity. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our big day even more memorable with your delicious food and amazing staff. We would hands down recommend Mena Catering to anyone who is looking for an unforgettable meal, and an even more unforgettable experience.

Thank you,
Shelby and Andres Cano

My husband Matthew and I worked with Lily from Mena Catering for approximately one year to plan our wedding. I cannot emphasize how pleased we are with words. Lily was responsive throughout the entire process, catered to our requests, and was always transparent in what she needed from us. Additionally, she took our ideas and transformed them into culinary masterpieces! For example, we wanted a simple cuban style buffet. In return we received cuban sushi rolls, amazing Churasco, and a few mojitos to boot. Set up was flawless, food was amazing, and Lily even stepped in to give Matt and I a drink when things became a little... Stressful on the day of :) We wish we could do it all over again, and perhaps one day we will with Mena.

Bottom line: excellent food, excellent company. Our guests all commented on the quality.

Highly 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!

Where 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!!
