Chris & Wil's Perfect Day!

Before I get to the success of the wedding itself let me say that Gladys and Charlie were great advisors in the planning process. I coordinate corporate events for a living but not weddings and I know that there is a huge difference especially when it is your own wedding. Gladys and Charlie were right there always offering solutions that really made sense and were in our best interest.
On the day of the wedding when we arrived at the venue under pouring rain we did not know what to expect. The rain stopped then everything started to pull together. Later when everything started and we saw the waiters, the attention to the guests, and their reactions to the rich food I felt a satisfaction and tranquility.
Guests raved that the food was exquisite, "Wow, perfection"!!! The service was professional with a perfect flow and timing, and we sincerely felt so lucky to have so much attention to detail and felt the passion and importance Roots & Flavors placed in making our day spectacular. There are no words to thank them for everything they did for us on that special day.

Amazing Catering Service

We used Roots and Flavors for an event that we held in Puerto Rico, and they did a fantastic job. The food was beautifully presented, fresh and well cooked. The company is easy to work with and handles all requests professionally. We only had positive comments on the food and the service. I would not hesitate to recommend them for an event.

Gladys Pimentel Roots & Flavors OUTSTANDING

Highly recommend!!! The only decision you should make regarding catering is Gladys Pimentel from Roots & Flavors, Inc.! As a New York Rican, going to Puerto Rico every summer as my summer camp I can attest the food was AMAZING, AUTHENTIC, PLENTIFUL and BEAUTIFULY DISPLAYED! Our wedding was small and most of the guest were “Norte Americanos”, they are still talking about the food especially the Roast Pig! Gladys made sure every detail was on point. She is very professional, flexible, and dedicated to her craft and it shows. At the end of the evening, she personally came to us and asked if our vision, our dream came true and then proceeded to thank us for using Roots & Flavors. Seriously! Now for the Servers, one word OUTSTANDING! She made sure we had a dedicated server who made sure we had a taste of everything including encouraging us to sit and enjoy the appetizers, the dinner, and the coffee bar with cookies! All of it was completely delicious and worth every single penny! Just make sure to ask for a take away plate to eat later LOL! Service was amazing and they were very responsive! Muchas Gracias Gladys y Equipo por una Noche Maravillosa! Thank you, Gladys, and Team, for a great night!
