indness, professionalism, communication, and service that was unmatched. If you’re in the Little Rock area, don’t hesitate to still reach out to Carmelita Catering to assist with any of your catering needs! They are headquartered in NWA; however, our service and experience was as if they were local. We will always be grateful they catered our wedding!
We found Carmelita Catering Co through a Google search...should have looked at The Knot cause we had a website and invitations through them. We LOVE meeting with Karla and Jeremy,...
tasting their food, and were hooked for our Friday night open house before the wedding. Jeremy was a chef in our kitchen and Karla, our bartender! How cool is that? Jeremy made fresh corn tortillas, we had a con queso fountain, tacos with all the trimmings, and incredible margaritas. If we need a catering event again, it will be Carmelita!
Amazing food, great flexibility, and did a knock out job of set up and bussing and DANCING at our wedding. Everything went off without a hitch!
The absolute best team we could’ve had catering our wedding! We still have people reaching out telling us just how good the food was!!

dding - hors d'oeuvres and the main meal. Omg the food was *chefs kiss* delicious! At the tasting and at the wedding! The quality of the ingredients you can absolutely taste! My husband and I are foodies and we wanted to be sure we had amazing tasting food at our wedding - Carmelita Catering delivered! They were able to pass out items from the Mexican menu during cocktail hour and then serve from the Americana menu for dinner - we have guests that are still talking about the amazing food. Some adjustments on the heat/spice level of some of the appetizers were made after we did a tasting - flexibility was greatly appreciated. It's so hard to choose what was our favorite food item that we selected to be served on our day because truly and honestly all of it tasted amazing - Great and prompt communication process leading up to our tasting, after our tasting and a month before the big day. One of our top and favorite vendors that we selected for our big day and we wish Karla and Jeremy the absolute best!

les with spicy honey and shrimp & grits - to an unlimited, authentic taco bar for our entrée, our guests have not stopped raving about how good the food was. This is not your normal wedding food! It's high quality and full of flavor. You can tell it is prepared with care. If I could have another wedding just to have this food again, it would be worth it. They completely exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

d knew that was what we were looking for! A caterer that not only had great food but also took pride in the set-up. We decided to go with the traditional Mexican menu- it did not disappoint! Everything tasted amazing! The presentation was beautiful, and the food was hot and fresh. Karla was also great about communicating needs throughout the process and sticking within our budget. She offered her advice based on what we were looking for which was much appreciated. Her staff was super friendly too! Several of our guests said that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding!

Day-of at the event, Jeremy and team's food was delicious, visually stunning, and left the guests feeling llke they had just been treated to an extra special dining experience by the Bride and her family!
The entire Carmelita staff executed their jobs impeccably too, and with a smile-- even given the challenges that day of a blustery wind and the fact they were cooking and serving al fresco !
Thanks so much Carmelita!
