I hired Chef Juan Torres with Miranda Catering to feed 240 guests for our two Thanksgiving special luncheons in 2024.
I also hired them to provide me with an ongoing food delivery during a period of two weeks, feeding about 45 guests each day around Christmas time.
On both occasions, I was delighted with Chef Juan Torres food quality, professionalism and work ethic.
I will definitely re-hire Miranda Catering.

Juan catered a corporate reception at my home. The passed appetizers were delicious, especially the ceviche, chicken empanadas and lobster rolls. He and his staff were punctual, highly professional and very pleasant to work with. I received many compliments on his staff and food from guests that are experienced users of caterers. Juan was extremely easy to work with, responsive and self-managing. His pricing is extremely reasonable, especially for the quality of the food and service - a great value! I will definitely use him again.

This was the best money I have ever spent on catering. The team was responsive, arrived on time and the food was incredible. My guests couldn’t stop talking about how good everything was. We got the blinis w caviar, shrimp spring rolls and bruschetta to start and it was delicious. The steak…one of the best steaks I ever had and the chicken was so good too!! I was making sure everyone ate that I forgot myself, they made me a plate and made sure i ate which i really appreciated. I definitely recommend Miranda Catering 100%. I will be booking again!
