Linnett M. Sent on 07/09/2023People can't stop talking about the food
First of all the hospitality of Nilsa and her team are unmatched. Our tasting was in her own home and she has a warm loving nature that shows in her food. My guests still keep raving about her appetizers! I'm also sure people were fighting over her tuna tartar tacos haha. The main course was cooked to perfection which is incredibly hard to do on a grand scale (especially steak). Her flavors just keep you wanting to grab for bite after bite. And very reasonably priced. Thank you Nilsa and your team! For making and I quote from my mother-in-law "the best food she's ever had at a wedding"! -

We are absolutely foodies and Nilsa did not disappoint. Her team was able to incorporate our vision into a reality and it was delicious. Not to mention, the chef created some island staples that I haven't been able to eat in years, due to new allergy restrictions, into items I could safely eat. When you have a weird allergy, planning food for a large group can be a big issue, but they made it seamless. Not only did my husband I love everything, but so did all our guests. They even provided an amazing hot sauce for our day; our families love the spicy things in life but we also had guests that couldn't handle the heat so this was great! Nilsa also embraced our idea of late-night snacks and created some awesome finger foods to absorb the drinks. Honestly, THE BEST!!! -

Nilsa was by far the most responsive caterer that works with hacienda siesta Alegre. She held a very intimate tasting with us and we had so much fun talking with her and trying her delicious food. Everything we had from start to finish was amazing at our wedding. Her and her team are true professionals and so kind. Take my advice ADD THE LECHÓN TO YOUR HAPPY HOUR. Our guests are still talking about it. The skin was so crispy you could not believe it. Absolutely amazing! Thank you nilsa! -

I love Nilsa. My family and I are foodies, so we knew our food vendor had to be good. From the beginning she was always responsive and professional. I'm still dreaming about the food during the cocktail hour, all the Puerto Rican fried foods and the best paella ever. The sorullitos with guava sauce!!! Best I've had in my life. She was flexible with us as we were choosing between sit down and buffet, and are very happy we went with the buffet because it was beautifully presented and everything was delicious. We had a churro bar which the guests loved, and ended the night with asopao which blew everyone away. The best part of it was, Nilsa felt like a family member. She got along with all our guests, and made herself part of the party. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. -

Nilsa's menu options were so great, that we had to fly to the PR for a tasting to make a final decision. The food was good, even the day after the wedding. I come from a long line of chefs and caters and my family and I loved Nilsa's food and presentation. Thank you, Nilsa! -

Natalia Sent on 03/10/2022La mejor Chef
La comida es DELICIOSA, los precios por la calidad de servicio y la calidad de los platos son muy buenos. Es una persona responsable, amable y muy servicial. No busques a otra persona, la comida para tu boda, si no te la hace Nilsa mejor ni alimentes a tus invitados. -

Nilsa goes above and beyond to make sure that your special day is not forgotten. The tasting at her home was amazing with a great view and a great conversation. At the wedding, everything ran smoothly. People still talks about how good our food was! Steak skewers are the best. We ended the night with an asopao, which was so much needed and appreciated by all our guests after a full night of drinking at Bacardi (our wedding venue)! -

I got married last week and Chef Nilsa did the catering for our wedding.
The food was EXCELLENT and her team gave us and our guests great service!! We had a sit down dinner and everyone was served quickly and everything ran smoothly.
Nilsa is a wonderful human being. My father can be a bit picky and demanding when it comes to making sure that contracts are fair, and that everything is done PERFECT. I was impressed how well Nilsa was able to work with my dad. She is so easy going. Her focus is just to deliver the most delicious food she can do for your guests and to give excellent service to her customers.
I really felt she was a breath of fresh air to have in our team of vendors and would recommend her 1000%!!!! I was lucky to find her, because my wedding planner recommended her. She offers very fair prices (we did our research with other similar high quality chefs) and her food is TOP. -

Allison B. Sent on 01/30/2022Guests were RAVING!
We planned our wedding in Puerto Rico and it was important to us to have traditional flavors and delicious food. Nilsa and her team went above and beyond, with salads, rice, meats, several appetizers, all tablewear, etc. Guests were literally raving all night about the food. Ahead of our wedding, she also prepared a spectacular tasting menu for us…after a few bites, we were SOLD. I would recommend Nilsa to anyone! -

Carol Sent on 02/01/2020¡Sabroso y vegano!
Nilsa superó nuestras expectativas. Queríamos un catering completamente vegano para nuestra boda y que además fuera sabroso y apetitoso hasta para los carnívoros. ¡Nilsa lo logró! La comida estaba más allá de sabrosa. Nuestros invitados nos han dado tantos y tantos elogios de la comida. El menú espectacular. Desde los aperitivos para el cóctel hasta la cena. ¡Todo perfecto y la presentación bien bonita! ¡Gracias Nilsa! -

Florence Sent on 09/22/2019Fairy tale wedding
Nilsa, her husband and their staff catered my daughter's destination wedding last Saturday, a seated dinner for 117 guests at Hacienda Siesta Alegre, Río Grande. The food was absolutely delicious, portions were generous and servers did a great job. In addition, Nilsa and Toti are delightful! I highly recommend Nilsa's catering...for a fairy tale wedding or absolutely any catering need. Thank you! -

Stephanie Sent on 08/13/2019Excellent service, delicious food!
I am so grateful we found Nilsa and she was available for the day of our wedding. She was incredibly responsive when we were emailing her to get a quote. We planned our wedding in PR from the states, so we did everything by email. Nilsa was also very accommodating to me since I am vegetarian, so she helped us craft the perfect menu that would please everyone. All I have to say is WOW. The food was delicious--both the hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, and our buffet style dinner. Our guests definitely went back for seconds and thirds and gushed over how delicious everything was. Her staff were impeccable. My husband and I were never without a full plate of food or drink. We felt like royalty. Nilsa and her husband came to greet us after dinner, and they are the sweetest couple! Thank you so much Nilsa, and team. You were a major part of making our special day absolutely unforgettable. -

Loreal Sent on 07/28/2019Our guests STILL talk about the food...
We were absolutely in love with Nilsa's company from the beginning. From receiving a quote, to food list, to payment, to the tasting.... it was all so enjoyable. Her presentation at the wedding was INCREDIBLE, and you can tell she really prides herself on perfection and taste. I mean, the appetizers alone were soooo mouthwateringly good. GO WITH HER RECOMMENDATIONS! Her staff were on time, respectful, and we even had 1 waiter dedicated to US (bride and groom) the entire evening. For example, when we started cocktail hour, we went off to take our couple's photos and our waiter was there with a huge plate of appetizers and drinks of our choice to enjoy in between shoots. Also, he offered to serve us our food and bring it to our table. He kept waiting on us and asking if we needed anything which was AMAZING. If I had to think of anything we would have liked to change, it would be the dessert sizes. Unfortunately we asked for a dessert bar of 3 kinds, and the sizes were literally tiny lol. You could eat it in 1 bite, which I think for a price of $300+ we should have better portions. Otherwise the dessert was delicious. And secondly, we were very sad we did not have leftovers packed in boxes for us. We're not sure why (perhaps there weren't any?) but its true what they say, you don't get to fully enjoy your wedding food. We ate a plate but in between the nerves and the toasts and greetings, we didn't get to TRULY savor and enjoy the dinner. I wish we could have had a to-go box prepared for us for the following day to eat. Of course these are small details, but we were VERY happy with our experience with Nilsa!! Our guests will reminisce about our wedding and bring up the food EVERY SINGLE TIME lol :) it was the best they ever had! I agree! -

Jazmin Sent on 03/07/2019Outstanding food & excellent service 👍🏼👍🏼
Delicious buffet and excellent customer service from first contact. Professional staff/servers. In planning our wedding the catering was priority since many of our guest are food critics 😆 or so it seems, and surely they came through with high praises for the Chef and staff. Three weeks later and we’re still getting high compliments on the delicious hors d’oeuvres and the variety of buffet entries to please all guest. The Paella eaters couldn’t stay away. I don’t eat seafood but most of my guest do, so we added the Spanish all seafood paella. A must. Got outstanding compliments on the paella. The staff was very professional including Marie. Quick easy communication. My hubby is from the island, so we will be contracting Chef Nilsa for all our future events. THANK YOU Chef Nilsa! You made our event one to be talked about and we are loving it 😉
