    Lechon was very tender and crispy on the outside with sauce provided.

    Highly recommended catering service! Amazing food, great staff and easy to communicate with. Everything was delicious! Will be returning for future events.

    I just had a catering service from them last Friday May 2, 2025. And it is EXCELLENT and AMAZING. Everything is very good, the salad, pasta, meatballs, ribs etc was very delicious. I'm very pleased. So I want to thank you to Frankie for accommodating me even it's a short notice. She still helped me. I owe you guys. So I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Rafael's catering. Not only they are all professional. They don't charge a lot. So I was very happy about them. Now I know who I can trust for cater. Goddess.

    Rafael's catered our baby shower and were absolutely fantastic! From the inquiry stages to the day of, Frankie was an excellent communicator and made the entire process clear and smooth. I did the International Menu for 50 guests with some modifications and received so many compliments from family about how delicious all the food was! Their team arrived on time to our venue to set up and when they returned for cleanup, they made it such a breeze. Will definitely be a returning client! Highly recommend

    Food was set up beautifully in my sunroom ( wish I had more photos)

    I'm updating with the photos of the set up. ( wish we got more of the food) this was from April 2022 for my moms 80th birthday. The set up crew came on time and they set up and hour before and came after and cleaned up and packed up the left overs! I will use Rafael's again and again.

    We hired Rafael's to cater our wedding! Everybody had great compliments of the food, especially the Lechon! Shout out to Frankie, who was easy to work with and allowed us to do multiple tastings since my partner was overseas. She also helped when we had last minute cancellations and needed to adjust our order. :) Great family-owned business. Thanks for delivering amazing food for our special day!

    We used Rafael's Catering Service to cater a wedding rehearsal dinner for close to 100 people. We were extremely happy with the customer service and delicious food. Frankie helped with menu options and event day coordination; she responded quickly to questions. On the day of the event, Joe was on time, efficient and professional. I will not hesitate to use them again. Our guests raved about the food but especially the adobo, dinuguan and mechado!

    They were the only ones who provided a large lechon with less than two weeks notice. I will order from them again in the future.

I had heard of them before because a friend used them for their wedding, and since I plan events for a living, I've worked with a lot of caterers. For my own event though, price mattered a lot, but I still wanted really good food. After reaching out to a bunch of places, I went with Havana because I had tried their food before and their pricing was very reasonable. We ordered full trays of adobo chicken, lechon roasted pork, crispy tofu, paella, sofrito rice, black beans, corn, poblano mac and cheese, and plantains. I did bring in one dish from another restaurant, Jamaican oxtail, just because I know my guests are big foodies. The biggest hits from Havana were definitely the poblano mac and cheese, lechon, and the paella. Honestly, the mac and cheese was the standout. Everyone kept going back for it and I wish I had ordered an extra tray. What really stood out to me though was the delivery experience. The driver called me ahead of time, brought everything in, and set it all up. He opened the trays with gloves, added sauces, arranged everything nicely, and even put out utensils and labels. I've had plenty of catering deliveries before and this was easily one of the best. He was just genuinely kind and went above and beyond, and it made a big difference. Overall, everything went smoothly, the food was great, and I would definitely order from them again.
