This year we’re doing things a little differently… because amazing food isn’t just about the food, it’s about the experience.

Our menus aren’t “basic” they’re curated with love and designed for people who want more than just a simple meal. Since 2014, I’ve poured my heart into creating dining experiences where all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy your time with the people you love. ❤️

Whether it’s a corporate holiday party, a cozy Christmas dinner, or a festive night with friends and family — this menu fits it all. 🎄🍴

Send me a direct message for pricing.

Hi it’s Adriana with a positive message.

I probably should take a video but hearing myself is no bueno😁

We are truly honored to have families return to us for their events year after year. Trust is essential on both ends of the planning process, and that begins with open communication.

Booking with us may feel like a lot of questions at first, but those details are what ensure we’re fully aligned before committing to your special day.

We also understand that at times we may be outside of someone’s budget. What we don’t do is compromise on quality or compete with pricing from other catering companies. Each event takes extensive preparation, organization, and ex*****on, and our packages reflect the value of that work.

Do we work with specific budgets? Absolutely—but our pricing never starts at $15 -20 per person. We use premium meats, seafood, and fresh ingredients, and if you’ve been to your local grocery store lately, you know how costly quality food has become.

We’ve worked with many wonderful venues, but we do not discount our pricing to fit packages where venues attempt to undercut or resell our services. The best results always come when we work directly with the couple to design a menu that reflects their vision.

We are already booking into 2026, with limited availability for weddings next year. If you’ve already secured your date with us, you’re in for a treat—we are recreating our wedding packages to include even more of what couples ask for and need on their big day.

And to anyone in this industry who may be feeling defeated—remember that what we do is hard work, but it’s also heart work. Every detail, every late night, every challenge is shaping you into the professional you’re meant to be. Stay true to your craft, trust your worth, and know that the right clients will always see the value in what you bring.

Thank you for reading my post 💛

Happy August from Chantelle , Adriana , & Alejandro.

It’s mid-year, and I always like to take a moment to reflect on the past six months—every wedding, every couple, and all the lessons learned along the way.

Just a quick note from experience: if family or friends don’t RSVP by the deadline, it’s best not to include them in your final guest count.

We’ve seen many cases where couples try to be accommodating with last-minute additions, only for those guests not to show up—resulting in empty tables and unnecessary costs.

Please keep in mind, once the final count is submitted, we prepare and cook for each confirmed guest, so you are billed accordingly. I’m always happy to work with you on reasonable last-minute changes, but to avoid waste and added expense, accurate RSVP tracking is key.

Should Vendors Be Included in the Final Guest Count?

Yes—vendors who will be present during the reception and require a meal (such as photographers, videographers, coordinators, DJs, etc.) should be included in your final guest count. ( excluding us the caterers )

Here’s to the rest of the year filled with beautiful moments, unforgettable weddings, and happy brides! 💍✨

We are revamping our website as we speak and did a professional photo shoot with my amazing friend just wanted to share a little bit about me for my new followers and will follow up with another posts about our family business.

My 15-year culinary journey has been a whirlwind and a defining factor in my expertise, where I have executed authentic cooking techniques by preparing every component from scratch, including marinades, sauces, salsas, and dressings, without relying on pre-existing products. This enables me to confidently disclose the ingredients in my dishes which is extremely important for clients with intolerances or allergies.

The study of gastronomy which explores the relationship between food and culture, through experience and travel plays a vital role in my cooking as I combine traditional techniques with fresh herbs to create regional specialties. By prioritizing fresh ingredients over salt, I have transitioned from dining out to crafting my own culinary creations because everything to me is just processed and half cooked with no passion.

Some of my favorite dishes include caldo, particularly posole, a delicious sopa azteca made with fresh tomatoes and guajillo and Pasilla chiles topped with avocado, an exceptional fish taco with pico and salsa tatemada, queso and nopal taquitos, a chili relleno made by my abuelita.

What’s your favorite dish to eat ?

On another note your energy and vibe are everything anyone who brings that to any event is so appreciated I love what I do and look forward to newly crafted dishes coming soon.
