trusting them was the best thing I could’ve ever done!
The proffesionalism, clear communication, and variety I got from Latin Kitchen catering was unmatched. From the tasting down to the very day I was impressed. The flavor just really blessed my palette. My husband was really relieved we found a catering company that would handle the appetizers, entree, and desserts at a reasonable price. My favorite were the appetizer empanadas, the spanish rice and baked chicken and lastly the flan cups for dessert. Thank u so much latin kitcjen catering!

Abel was my favorite vendor to work with. He is incredibly responsive (sometimes within minutes!) and he put a ton of work into crafting an initial quote that fit our budget, guest...
count, and personal tastes. Anytime I needed adjustments, he was more than happy to make them. Due to his care and attention, all my guests had more than enough food, including ones with allergies/sensitivities. After dinner service, I provided to-go boxes and his staff packed them all up for my guests to take so there was no waste (even the cake, which I didn't ask them to do--above and beyond!!!).
Overall, I highly recommend Latin Kitchen Catering to anyone in the PA/NY/NJ area for your important events. I was seriously impressed by the communication and clarity on every detail. Thank you, Abel, for a fabulous and delicious wedding day!

e in town, since we were planning from away.
The crew was very flexible day of - shifting everything from our original plans due to rain, and still managed to be perfectly on schedule!
The table arrangements were beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious (I am still receiving messages about the empanadas and blueberry-infused water). No one went home hungry and they packaged all of the leftovers for us (which we are still enjoying). They were incredibly considerate of our guests allergies, and even made an extra pan of rice to ensure that there was a dairy -free grain option. I cannot recommend Latin Kitchen enough and hope to get to use them again in the future!
