About this vendor
Founded in Gilbert, AZ, Nando's Mexican Cafe is a locally owned restaurant offering wedding and special event catering services. We specialize in Sonoran-style Mexican cuisine and offer many appetizers, dishes, salads, and more.
Nando's was established over twenty years ago by two friends, Fernando and Tim. With their 17 years of industry experience, they created a wonderful local family joint that values quality food and community support. Fernando's use of family recipes passed down from his mother and stepfather reflects his appreciation for culinary heritage. Since our founding, we have expanded with help from our third owner, Sean, and now have five thriving locations across Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, and Maricopa.
We are committed to culinary quality and excellent service with our buffet-style catering options, serving food from our family to yours.

tentive to the table. You always receive plenty of chips and salsa and they’re happy hour. Venues are great too. Our favorite is the happy hour nachos with chicken added.
