As a couple of foodies, my wife and I had been disappointed by so many weddings with dry chicken or overcooked steak that we knew we wanted to do something different for our wedding. We're so glad we found Chef Jorge and The Stuffed Cuban, because they were able to deliver exactly what we wanted and create an authentic Cuban experience for our guests that had them raving! Even our Cuban family members with very high standards loved the lechón, yucca frita, and all the classic side dishes. He also worked with us to create a special vegetable paella that our vegetarian and vegan friends enjoyed. From the creative appetizers to the deserts and late-night mini-sandwiches every element of the food was perfectly on point. Beyond the food, Chef Jorge was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. He was a source of calm and reassurance during the stressful lead-up to the big day, and was super responsive to all our last minute changes and questions. His crew were all total professionals, and they helped keep the drinks flowing and the guests happy all night long. His rates were much more affordable than any of the other vendors we considered, but nothing was sacrificed in terms of elegance, quality or service. Even when there were unexpected events (as there always are with weddings) Chef Jorge handled them with absolute grace and total professionalism. There's so much more I could say, but honestly you should stop reading reviews and just book him right now -- you won't regret it! read more

Event: Corporate "Havana Nights' Guest Count: 300 I recently had the pleasure of working with The Stuffed Cuban for a corporate event with a 'Havana Night' theme, hosting 300 guests. From start to finish, the experience with this catering company was nothing short of exceptional. Jorge, the head chef, played a pivotal role in making our event a success. Right from the planning stages, Jorge's expertise and creativity shone through as he guided me through various menu options, ensuring we curated a selection that perfectly complemented our 'Havana Night' theme. His passion for his craft and attention to detail were evident, and it was clear that he was dedicated to exceeding our expectations. The menu showcased a fusion of flavors, with standout dishes like the Jumbo Shrimp in a Butter Garlic Sauce Skewered, Guava Barbecue Meatballs, and Mojito Pork Sliders stealing the show. Jorge's passion for perfection was evident in every bite. The professionalism of the staff added to the overall excellence. From planning to execution, the team's efficiency, courtesy, and attention to detail were commendable. The entire process was seamless, turning what can be a stressful time into a collaborative and enjoyable experience. I definitely recommend this catering company for large events if you are looking for cuban style food, and accommodations for large guest counts. read more

I reached out to The Stuffed Cuban after finding him on yelp, seeing that all his reviews were 5-star, and thinking he had a cool name. I went to his website and liked his bio, but you never know until you actually start dealing with someone. I have to say that Chef Jorge was nothing but professional from his first email to his follow-up text after the event. He gave me a menu and price immediately after our first contact. I had my doubts and was considering another caterer, but Chef Jorge always answered my questions patiently. Fast forward to the day of the event, (Sunday, April 15th); Chef Jorge delivered as promised. He was there early to set up before the guests arrived. I liked that we were having a family event and his helpers were his wife and daughter, (all very friendly and polite). I went with a Cuban menu of yuquitas fritas accompanied by The Stuffed Cuban's homemade cilantro sauce as appetizer, and then followed by cooked-on-location arroz con pollo accompanied by a salad and fried plantains. I've had guests tell me that they enjoyed the yuquitas, the sauce, and the arroz con pollo. At the end of the event Chef Jorge and family picked everything up and packed all the leftovers for me to take home. I'm still having leftovers two days later and still enjoying. read more

We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for our daughter's rehearsal dinner. Chef Jorge and his wife Maxine, the event manager are owner/operators of The Stuffed Cuban and they did a truly wonderful job from start to finish. The highlight of the evening was the beautifully roasted whole pig, prepared in the traditional Cuban style and it was absolutely delicious and a huge hit with our guests. In addition, they thoughtfully prepared a wonderful variety of authentic Mexican dishes in honor of our son-in-law's heritage, which made the evening feel even more special and personal. Every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care. The food, bar service, staff, and overall execution were all excellent. The team was timely, professional, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire process, making everything run smoothly and completely stress-free for us. We are so grateful for their exceptional service and would highly recommend Chef Jorge, Maxine, and The Stuffed Cuban to anyone looking to create a memorable and meaningful event. read more

I had been looking for a catering company for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. I called an Italian food company a few times and never answered. In my search this company called my attention. "The Stuffed Cuban". After looking on their website and reading their reviews, I decided to give them a call. On my first call, Jorge the company owner and head chef answered my call. He was very courteous and helpful. He listened what the event was about and he gave me suggestions. They have so many different options. On the day of the event Jorge and his team came on time and prepared. The appetizer were so delicious that everyone was asking for more. The main course was a traditional Cuban dinner with a whole roasted pig. Our guests were complementing the great taste of all the food. I'm was very impressed and thankful for The Stuffed Cuban professional catering service. They are outstanding! Thanks Jorge! read more

Chef Jorge, Maxine, Enrique, and the whole Stuffed Cuban team were extraordinary caterers for our wedding. I'm Cuban American from Miami and my wife and I wanted to showcase authentic Cuban cuisine to our out-of-town guests instead of the usual boring and overpriced wedding food. Not only were Chef Jorge and Maxine incredibly professional, responsive, and flexible throughout the entire planning process, but, as our guests told us again and again throughout the night, they also delivered delicious food and beverages. They supplied and beautifully arranged high-quality tables, chairs, linens, and dinnerware. The croquetas de jamón were the best I've ever had and the flan rivaled my grandmother's (I hope she doesn't read this). And the cafecito passed around after dinner to keep the night going was the perfect last touch. Thank you Stuffed Cuban! We highly recommend them. read more

Hi. We were invited to a family catering zoom party serviced by The Stuffed Cuban. And Boy, we were in for a treat!! The food was delicious, packaging impeccable and delivery right on time...and one or two little extra surprises came with the order that made us smile and feel the warmth in our hearts. I strongly suggest you give them a try. I just checked their website at www.thestuffedcuban.com and the paellas and stuffed tostones looked delicious too. I dealt with Jorge Alvarez myself and he was extremely kind and accommodating. His wife Maxine was also super nice. One of the most specials ladies you will ever know!! She even told me Jorge was a recently ordained Deacon at the Church which to me explained why he was so meek and humble in his demeanor. I wish them both all the success in their new (well not so new..) business. read more

We were left with just 1 or 2 days to plan a Thanksgiving event as a company. We did not know with just a short notice who would be available. Me and my Co-worker looked on Google and found the Stuffed Cuban on Yelp. They were courteous and extremely nice and they told us they were extremely busy but would definitely love to Cather our event. I spoke to the owner and even though there were certain stipulations from our company they worked with us and make the event happen without a glitch. They are very professional and the food was the greatest food we have had cooked for us for an event. Thanks to "The Stuffed Cuban" for having the greatest Chef and team! you're the best!

Dear Chef Jorge and Maxine, the firm wants to thank you and your gracious team for doing such an excellent job at our holiday party Saturday night. The evening went without a hitch from start to finish. The Guava Barbecue Meatballs and Fried Yuquita appetizers were vibrant and flavorful, but the seafood and vegetable paellas stole the show!!

Due to your professionalism, our event was a complete success! We can't wait to bring you back for another event and wish you all the best of success for many more years to come. Auri~ read more

La Lechonera Products had the opportunity to be a sponsor for the World Food Championships in Dallas, Texas. It's a huge 3 day event and we could not have pulled it off without Jorge with the Stuffed Cuban. Jorge is a class act, a hard worker, and a master at his craft. Him and Julio cooked a whole pig and about 10 Boston butts per day in 2 separate caja chinas. Everything was cooked to perfection, and we had lines of people salivating over the delicious food. We are very appreciative of Jorge and his team and can't wait to partner up again soon. We could not think of a better team to showcase our products. Do not hesitate to count on Jorge for your most important dates or events. read more

I hired chef Jorge for a birthday party two weeks ago. Maxine and staff were professional from start to finish. from the tasty guava meatballs and yuca fries to the main course of perfectly roasted pig, we received many compliments on the food. The food was hot, the pig was juicy and savory as were the sides of black beans, plantains and the salad. We added a veggie paella which was delicious. The aroma of the slow cooking pig brought out the neighbors asking about recommendations for the Stuffed Cuban. We highly recommend them and would use them again. All our guest are still talking about how great the food was. Sue P, Coral Gables read more

The Stuffed Cuban catered my Daughter's wedding and it was absolutely awesome. Starting with the world renown yuca fries with cilantro sause and shrimp cocktail the feast was just beginning. The cuban mojito pig was perfectly roasted accompanied by a delicious arroz campesino made on a paellera, plantains maduros, black beans with rise green and salad. All guests could not get enough choosing to eat the yuca fries over wedding cake. Chef Jorge and his staff were the best and I recommend the Stuffed Pig for any occasion you want to have great food and impress your guests. read more

We hired The Suffed Cuban for a 50th Birthday celebration with about 80 guests and were extremely pleased.

The food was warm and everything was kept clean. I would highly recommend Jorge for any party and plan to use him again in the near future... read more

Jorge and Maxine knocked it out of the park with the Cuban Luau for the graduation party for our son and his friends and families. The pig was big (and fresh) and expertly cooked onsite adding to the sense of anticipation. The servers took care of everyone like we were family. Guests were very complimentary about the whole experience. From set up to breakdown, Jorge, Maxine and team were friendly and most accommodating. If you are looking for a seamless, fun experience with an excellent, homemade meal look no further than the Stuffed Cuban. read more
