Excellent food makes an event in my opinion and I am so glad I chose Juan to cater our cocktail party. As a host, I love it when people go out of their way to tell how much they love the food and I even saw some asking Juan for his card which is the ultimate compliment. Juan was very easy to work with and came up with the perfect menu based on our needs. Set up was a breeze and they left our kitchen spotless. He was helpful too on what I needed to get for our self service bar and offered to restock and keep area clean. Overall, we are thrilled and if our party wasn't a moving away party, I'd use him again and again!

Juan and his team at Miranda Catering were exceptional!
I cannot begin to express how lucky we feel to have found him and his amazing crew for our event! People have gone out of their way over and over to tell me how delicious the food was! My mom said she ate 8 pieces of the sea bass HA! My brother looooved the low mein. My dad raved about the farro. The kids gobbled up the burgers and fries. My friends kept asking who made the food. Everyone loved the chicken skewers! His team brought everything out on time, there was PLENTY to eat, they cleaned up everything, and they were a joy to work with. And- they worked with our budget, which we needed. Cannot recommend more highly!! And I am very picky BTW. :)

hosted a party for my wife’s 40th birthday party and hired Juan Torres from Miranda catering. Juan was easy to work with and was able to deliver the goods. I wanted him to execute a French menu for our lady of honor.
Juan communicated well and was able to meet our budget.
He was able to provide a delicious menu for our 30 plus guests including children and they all raved about. I would highly recommend Juan for one of your parties or events.
