These guys are amazing

These guys have amazing food that suited a bilingual wedding that had guests raving. They brought flowers and went above and beyond for us . They respond so fast and just really impressed everyone . And if they ever opened a restaurant we would eat there so often . They are so amazing!

Perfection

Chineols went above and beyond for our big day! It was super cheap for the amount of food and guests we had! They couldn’t have been more perfect! Everyone was still raving about the food for weeks after the wedding! The wait staff stayed a few hours later to make sure everyone was taken care of and people stayed hydrated and had plenty of food to take home! It was some of the best food I’ve ever had in my 30 years! If you’re doing having Chinelos cater your event, you’re doing it wrong! Thank you again Carlos and Miguel! We are forever grateful for y’all!

Guest still are talking about the food!

Chinelos Catering provided my sister's wedding the most amazing service and dining experience. They wanted a taco bar with a queso fountain...yes, queso fountain and boy did Chinelos deliver. Their food was delicious and the guests are still talking about it. They were professional and provided over the top service. Our experience with Chinelos Catering truly made my life (the planner/sister) better. They made sure the bride and groom were always taken care of and that the guests were happy. I would recommend them!
