Mena Catering

If I could give Jorge Mena and his team a better rating i would! This is far more than a catering company. Jorge has such an eye for detail, and gives you the absolute best that he can give that its very hard not to fall in love with his service. I never asked how long he's been in the event industry but he knows far more than most people i've spoken with. OOOHHHH and the FOOD!!!! My guests raved about it for days!!! At most weddings you hear about people going for the free drinks and rarely for the food. But this was definitely not the case. People could not get enough food. If that wasn't all Mena had a waiter follow my groom and I throughout our pictures, while we greeted people, while we danced, and even walked around aimlessly with food and water. We had many guests come up to us telling we weren't going to eat because we were going to be too busy. But that wasn't the case at all! We were well fed and hydrated throughout the night. I seriously don't know what we would've done without Jorge Mena and his team. I'm truly thankful for all their help and dedication!

I'm not sure how to put into words the appreciation and love I have for this catering company. But this is my attempt:Short Version: MENA CATERING provided excellent food and service at my wedding, and proved their amazing professionalism to us during the planning stages of it all. I highly recommend this company to everyone! One tasting might prove it all (trust me).Long version:I planned a destination wedding in Miami from San Francisco, and it took me several trips to Miami and many weeks of tastings to finally find Mena Catering and I could not have been happier with their level of quality, service and professionalism. Jorge and Lily were incredible at helping me prepare everything via email (and were VERY RESPONSIVE, unlike a lot of other catering companies that shrug you off till the week of your wedding). The day of the wedding Jorge was present at my tasting and helped me put together my menus, and figure out the details. It went great and it was all really comfortable (also, extra points for working with our budget).The week of our wedding, we flew into Miami and Lily from Mena was still helping us out with all the last minute details, when something terrible happened. My husband and I were scammed out of our venue and where put into a situation where we had to re-plan our wedding within 2-days. Lily from Mena Catering was there with us all the way. We changed venues on her 3 times and I must admit I've never seen anyone handle it all so well. She re-planned seating and decor at each venue I dragged her to and she kept me calm. The day before my wedding, I dragged her to one last place and she basically planned my reception under half-an-hour! It was amazing. I wish I could have videotaped her, it was like she was on auto-pilot and knew exactly what to do. Fast-forward to the day of the wedding: It turned out amazing! We were both impressed, and the guests raved about the food & Decor (all set up by Mena Catering). Oh the food! The food was really great (this didn't surprise me though, since I had already experienced an amazing tasting and knew what treats were coming). The bartender which Mena provided did a great job with our signature drinks (caipirinha and mojitos). And the entire night was great.Special Message to the people at Mena (especially Lily): if you are reading this; THANK YOU!and just to prove that this story is real - click on this link for the news story: http://www.local10.com/news/28353008/detail.html

Mena Catering provided us with absolutely impeccable service for our wedding in January 2011 at the Spanish Monastery in Miami. Jorge Mena is a real professional, and his team was superb. The quality of food was exquisite - our guests raved about the quality and creativity of the cuisine. The service was outstanding all around - and as a nice personal touch, Mena had an individual that specifically catered to us as bride and groom, ensuring we had what we needed and our glasses were always full. The quality of food and service is well worth the price. We couldn't have asked for a better caterer - thank you Jorge and the Mena team. We highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding or other event in Miami.

I cannot say enough about the food, it was great! I went to Mena under the advise of my florist/planner, Sylvia Conde-Rodriguez, and whoever she recommends has to be great, otherwise she doesn't bother. Our food was plenty, tasty and the service was extraordinary, they were very attentive. You need to be alert with Mena, as they are busy and tend to overlook some details, but they come thru the minute you point it out.Our guests have not stopped talking about our food, the ceviche, the appetizers, the cuban rice take out station was a complete hit!

Their food is amazing, I had had it at two other weddings and that's why I chose them. They are a bit pricey but they are worth it, everyone commented on how good the food was. They also surprised me with the buffet table decorations, very tasteful and pretty. They did a great job overall, they even offered my husband and I hors d'oeuvres while we were having our pictures taken. Since the rental company (Christina's rentals) they work with wasn't on the list I'll review them here. All in all it turned out ok but I was a real headache dealing with them. They are really disorganized, I had to bypass mena and go to their office to straighten out the mess they made with my rentals. I went line by line with the girl and she still messed up 3 times (some items were duplicated, other things were doubled, they had the delivery pick up time wrong etc.). They gave me a final invoice that i agreed on and the day of the wedding they still brought a tent that i had previously removed from the list and of course after the wedding they were going to charge me for it. If you do use them tell mena to give you an invoice and go over it careful checking for mistakes, I saved over $400 by doing that.

Mena caterer food was top notched and the service was excellent. We heard this feedback from all of our guests. I will definitely use them again. After the wedding we heard from our wedding planner that there were some details the were not executed by them during the wedding such as bringing the cocktail tables inside the dancing area for people to sit durng the sit down dinner. Also instead of two bar set-up after dinner they kept one bar with 3 bartenders. These were small details that if you were not involved with the details you would not know.Also thety did a fantastic job of decorating the buffet tables and cheese tables with flowers.

Mena Catering was wonderful. Their presentation is like no other caterer, and I have worked with many caterers. The food was delicious, guests complimented the food. Jorge's staff was very attentive of me and my husband and made sure that we had food and drinks all night. The made my wedding day very memorable.

Mena catered my rehearsal dinner and wedding. . . and both were fantastic! People don't usually rave about wedding food, but my guests loved it! I (the bride) even made a point of making time to eat at my wedding because I knew I'd be disappointed to miss out on Mena's food. Their staff is also very professional and attentive. Both nights I felt like a superstar due to their quality of service. Jorge Mena (the owner) even made an appearance at both of my events - I really admire and respect that the owner himself makes time to check-in on his clients. They are also very creative with their presentation, and end up doing things you aren't even expecting. Mena was also incredibly flexible and willing to work with my budget. I love Mena Catering and will definitely recommend and hire them again!

Usually food is what everyone goes cheap on and what the guests usually complain about, and although I didn't want to spend that much money, after tasting their food, I didn't have much of a choice. I had ZERO complaints and on the contrary, everyone kept telling me how great the food was, even 2 weeks after the event. The staff was phenomenal and my husband and I even had a personal attendant to cater to everything we needed. He even followed me around to make sure my cup was never empty and to provide us with ANYTHING we wanted when we wanted it. He even told me when to fix my hair or makeup (that's awesome!). Services couldn't of had been better.

The food from Mena Catering was great.They where willing to work with all of our desires to cut costs.They were extremely professional and so sweet and attentive to meet our needs.I would select them to cater my wedding again!

We went with Mena Catering because they did Oriental Cuisine.They where very professional and kept in contact with us till our wedding day.It was very enjoyable too have a sit down with them and plan out our menu.We where able to personalize whatever we wanted.Their staff was also very professional and made sure everything went off without a hitch.We got several good comment about the food from a lot of our friends and family.We where glad we hired them to cater our wedding and will certainly do business with them again.

Delicious appetizers and great service!

Very nice people. Wonderful food, service & quality. Everyone loved the food! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Their Vizcaya location is a wonderful place for a reception.They provided everything for us from food to entertainment.It was a very lovely evening where everything worked out beautifully.Their staff was everywhere and ready to serve.If you got the money then you should definitely shell out for their first class service.

If we can give them 10 stars we would! Jorge's team attended to us as if we were king and queen! Food was AMAZING. For my brother to get seconds at a wedding, that says alot!presentation was PRICELESS!! i should have just had THEM decorate instead of our useless wedding planner! The freshness of the food, personality of the team, attentiveness to our guests was UNSURPASSED. I cannot wait to host my baby shower one day and have them grace us again with their presence. Absolutely without a doubt one of my favorite vendors of my wedding day. Cuban Sushi is delicious!!!! i should just go for a tasting one of these days! lol great job!!!
