    My daughters quinceanera

    We can't Recommend the stuffed Cuban enough. The communication, service, and specially the Food!!!! All was exceptional!! They were literally the only stress free part of planning our daughter's quince. Jorge and Maxine along with their team Exceeded our expectations. It felt like they were part of our family. All of our guest were raving about the food. The lechon, the chicharon (wish I had some now) the chicken and rice paella!!! We even had some of our guest whom live in our community asking for the contact information of our caterer. From The cocktail hour to the dinner To the desserts. Everything was delicious. The service was amazing and everyone at the party kept approaching my husband and I letting us know how great all the food was. Can't wait to host another event and have a reason to have the Stuffed Cuban cater it. Thank you guys again!

    Above and beyond

    Surpassed all expectations! The Stuffed Cuban is a full service operation that does not scrimp on anything! From table/chair/place setting set up to desert all went according to plan. They are a first class organization offering traditional Cuban/Latin American menu. They’re staff is exceptional and professional. They are easy to communicate with and eager to please. In our case we chose buffet style service. In addition to mouthwatering appetizers we had “Lechon” (pig) cooked luau style on premises with a paella cooked by Chef Jorge Alvarez on display. Both were excellent crowd pleasers. We had a full service bar which was precisely managed and perfectly stocked. I would highly recommend the Stuffed Cuban for your next stress free event - whether engagement party or in our case wedding, you’re sure to be pleased.

    Amazing food, amazing service

    The Stuffed Cuban's Chef Jorge and Maxine were an absolute joy to work with! They helped us curate not only a delicious dinner, but a magical experience at our wedding. We wanted a savory, homestyle dinner, which they take up a notch with appetizers such as guava meatballs and yuca with cilantro aoili. For some, the flavors felt familiar, a higher end version of home. For others, they felt exotic and new. But everyone agreed that each course was full of flavor and quality. They went above and beyond, changing up their usual buffet style to family style just for our wedding! They even allowed last minute additions, such as an extra bartender and helping us out with a few details. We are forever grateful for their work, talents, and wonderful personalities. We will definitely hire them for any events in the future!

    Best food ever!

    We absolutely loved the stuffed Cuban! They were very communicative and made sure the menu was exactly what we wanted. Food was absolutely delicious. We got rave reviews from our wedding guests and the staff were very kind and professional. Everyone was so impressed by the whole roasted pig and the large paella. Was such a fun experience to have them as our caterers!

    The Stuffed Cuban's reply:

    Thank you! We love our customers, and we love what we do!
    Your positive feedback is so important for us. Hope to serve you again soon!

    Katz Barron Holiday Party

    Dear Chef Jorge and Maxine, the firm wants to thank you and your gracious team for doing such an excellent job at our holiday party Saturday night. The evening went without a hitch from start to finish. The Guava Barbecue Meatballs and Fried Yuquita appetizers were vibrant and flavorful, but the seafood and vegetable paellas stole the show!! The table settings sparkled and made the setting magical. Thank you for packing the leftovers for our guests to take home and enjoy again the next day – they loved it. Due to your professionalism, our event was a complete success! We can’t wait to bring you back for another event and wish you all the best of success for many more years to come. Auri~

    The Stuffed Cuban's reply:

    Thank you again! We had a very busy holiday season but wanted to make sure we responded to thank you for inviting us to such a special day! Hope to work with you again!

    Havana Nights Event

    Event: Corporate “Havana Nights’
    Guest Count: 300

    I recently had the pleasure of working with The Stuffed Cuban for a corporate event with a 'Havana Night' theme, hosting 300 guests. From start to finish, the experience with this catering company was nothing short of exceptional.

    Jorge, the head chef, played a pivotal role in making our event a success. Right from the planning stages, Jorge's expertise and creativity shone through as he guided me through various menu options, ensuring we curated a selection that perfectly complemented our 'Havana Night' theme. His passion for his craft and attention to detail were evident, and it was clear that he was dedicated to exceeding our expectations.

    The menu showcased a fusion of flavors, with standout dishes like the Jumbo Shrimp in a Butter Garlic Sauce Skewered, Guava Barbecue Meatballs, and Mojito Pork Sliders stealing the show. Jorge's passion for perfection was evident in every bite.

    The professionalism of the staff added to the overall excellence. From planning to execution, the team's efficiency, courtesy, and attention to detail were commendable. The entire process was seamless, turning what can be a stressful time into a collaborative and enjoyable experience.

    I definitely recommend this catering company for large events if you are looking for cuban style food, and accommodations for large guest counts.

    The Stuffed Cuban's reply:

    Thank you again! We had a very busy holiday season but wanted to make sure we responded to thank you for inviting us to such a special day! Hope to work with you again!

    Absolutely amazing

    Thank you for making catering our wedding easy and hands-free for us! Wedding planning is so stressful enough. The Stuffed Cuban is a husband and wife team, who takes care of everything! We never had to worry about our food! We met them and did a tasting, after they were very easy to get ahold of to discuss any changes. Their staff was very friendly to our guest and attended to all their needs. They also made sure my husband and I sat down to eat and had a plate of food waiting for us!

    Engagement party

    We hired The Stuffed Cuban for our son’s engagement party and Chef Jorge and his wife Maxine served us an amazing meal. Delicious paella and juicy roast pork with all the trimmings plus flan for dessert. The staff was very attentive to all our needs. Thank you so much

    80th Birthday

    Chef Jorge, Maxine and staff were superb to work with. We hired them for my father's 80th birthday party and the food was fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again for future events.

    Delicious.

    I don't even know where to start! From the very first conversation we had with Chef Jorge and his wife Maxine, my wife and I knew we had found true professionals that loved what they do. We were excited by their positive attitude and willingness to make the most important part of our special day, the food, as delicious as they could.
    Now on to the really important part. EVERY bite of everything was amazing. From the guava meatballs, to the fried yuca, to the seafood paella, and the pork. But let me not forget the most important part, the chicharrones. THE BEST, hands down, no arguments will be accepted, chicharrones you can possibly imagine.
    Chef Jorge and Maxine catered to our every culinary need with a smile and can do attitude. My wife and I cannot recommend them enough to cater whatever you need.

    Highly Reccomended

    The Stuffed Cuban and Jorge were great to work with. The food was fantastic and the presentation amazing. All our guests loved the whole pig and the paella. He even went out of his way to pack us up days worth of leftovers for our afterparty. We would highly recommend them!

    The Stuffed Cuban - Amazing Food & Service!

    The Stuffed Cuban was amazing! Besides the delicious food (the arroz campesino and caja china are a hit!), they went above and beyond with their service.

    They worked with our venue and wedding planners to make sure their buffet presentation fit our wedding aesthetic, and they were in constant communication to make sure we had everything we needed for the big day.

    Can't recommend them enough!

    We Love The Stuffed Cuban!

    Chef Jorge and his team are THE BEST! We chose them to cater a welcome party to kick off our son's wedding weekend, and we and our guests were thrilled with the scrumptious meal. Everyone loved the appetizers, side dishes and the phenomenal seafood paella, but our guests absolutely RAVED about the star of the show — the whole roasted pig! People went back for seconds and thirds, and were just so delighted to savor this wonderful Cuban cuisine. Chef Jorge and Maxine are a joy to work with, and we highly recommend The Stuffed Cuban!

    Amazing experience, amazing food, amazing service!

    Chef Jorge is amazing. I wish I could give him 10 STARS!! He catered my son's wedding this past weekend and everything was absolutely spectacular. We received so many compliments on the food. Chef Jorge is a superstar. We booked him 8 months in advance and from the tasting to right before the wedding, he always responded to all my emails with any questions or requests. He connected with the venue and communicated with the wedding planner. He made everything go smoothly. Chef Jorge and his team are the most professional caterers I have every dealt with. The most important thing was the food. Be prepared to be blown away. That was the best pig I have ever had in my life and I grew up in Miami with a Cuban family and this blew everyone away. The appetizers were delicious and hot and fresh. The rice and beans and platanos were amazing. The star was definitely the PIG. OMG the crunchy skin was better than anything I have ever had. My son loved it and I had tons of guests say they were super impressed with how delicious everything was. There were other foods and caterers at the wedding but I only had Chef Jorge's food because it was divine. I highly recommend him for any event. He loves what he does, he is good at it and he will do an amazing job! Love Chef Jorge!! Thank you for making our son's wedding day so perfect.

    Amazing food, incredible service

    Our wedding day would not have been what it was without the Stuffed Cuban! All of the food that they prepared for our wedding day was incredibly delicious! Our guests are still telling us how much they loved everything they ate at our wedding, from the welcome oysters to hors d'oeuvres to dinner and dessert. The staff is all friendly and helpful and the service was seamless from the start of the day til the end. Jorge was really great to work with and went above and beyond throughout the process. He worked with us through multiple revisions to the menu, always happy and eager to make our vision a reality. Throughout the process he showed a very clear personal investment in ensuring that we could have the best wedding possible and it paid off, everything came together beautifully! Truly a special company that helped make our wedding day a magical, memorable event for everyone involved.

    Delicious food, professional team!

    My wife and I recently had our wedding in Miami, where we wanted freshly cooked, authentic Cuban cuisine. I found Jorge through some Google searches, and his reviews were excellent. And they were right! Jorge and his team were incredibly professional from the beginning of our conversations about the meals we wanted and the number of guests attending. We even changed and added to our menu a few times leading up to the event and Jorge obliged happily. On the day of the event, the team arrived with plenty of time to set up, along with all of their own equipment and team members for cooking and tray passing. They were able to set up everything in small area in the backyard where we held the event. Jorge was sure to tell me how much advance notice he needed to start cooking before dinner was to be served, and our guests loved the food! They came back for seconds and thirds, and we even had a little left to enjoy the next day. I would recommend The Stuffed Cuban to anyone holding an event that they want to make memorable and delicious. I can't wait to hire them again! Thanks, Jorge and team.

    Unforgettable Experience

    I could not have asked for a better caterer for my wedding. Chef Jorge was so responsive, organized and flexible to our needs. His food was delicious and everyone raved about it. You won't taste better!

    Stop reading reviews and just book him right now — you won’t regret it!

    As a couple of foodies, my husband and I had been disappointed by so many weddings with dry chicken or overcooked steak that we knew we wanted to do something different for our wedding. We’re so glad we found Chef Jorge and The Stuffed Cuban, because they were able to deliver exactly what we wanted and create an authentic Cuban experience for our guests that had them raving! Even our Cuban family members with very high standards loved the lechón, yuca frita, and all the classic side dishes. He also worked with us to create a special vegetable paella that our vegetarian and vegan friends enjoyed. From the creative appetizers to the deserts and late-night mini-sandwiches every element of the food was perfectly on point.

    Beyond the food, Chef Jorge was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. He was a source of calm and reassurance during the stressful lead-up to the big day, and was super responsive to all our last minute changes and questions. His crew were all total professionals, and they helped keep the drinks flowing and the guests happy all night long. His rates were much more affordable than any of the other vendors we considered, but nothing was sacrificed in terms of elegance, quality or service. Even when there were unexpected events (as there always are with weddings) Chef Jorge handled them with absolute grace and total professionalism.

    There’s so much more I could say, but honestly you should stop reading reviews and just book him right now — you won’t regret it!
