We used them for our daughter's quinceanera among Super bowl parties and just regular birthday parties and have always come back for seconds! The food is always delicious and the service provided is always punctual with the prices very fair.We consistently go back because everything from the arroz con gandules , the potato salad to Pernil is always very good. Highly recommend! More...

We recently hired the Rican Redneck to cater an event at our company for a special Puerto Rico celebration! They had great reviews, their pricing was very reasonable so we went for it. The food was a hit! They delivered on time on 2 different days and 2 locations the first day! Nandy is a pleasure to work with; very nice and extremely professional. All containers were clearly marked and ensured he had the right containers for each of our locations. We tried the Pork, Rice, Yuca and the Beef Empanadas. There were other options on the menu but we stayed with the Puerto Rican options to align with our celebration and the food did not disappoint. If you are looking for a great Puerto Rican food option or a mix of some southern food with it, they have a great menu and the Puerto Rican options are amazing. I asked a co-worker how the food was compared to her family's food and she said it was excellent! Thank you, Nandy, for your amazing food and your professionalism. It was a pleasure to meet you and work with you! More...

We recently hired Rican Redneck for drop-off service at our daughter’s quinceañera, and WOW—what an incredible experience! Every dish was bursting with authentic Puerto Rican flavor, and our guests are still talking about how amazing everything tasted! The arroz con gandules was perfectly seasoned, fluffy, and rich with flavor. The pernil and baked chicken had everyone raving. You could tell the team put love and pride into every tray. The portions were generous, and everything was clearly labeled and ready to serve, making the whole process stress-free. What really stood out was how this meal brought people together—it wasn’t just food, it was home. It felt like a celebration of our culture, and it added so much warmth and authenticity to the quinceañera. If you're looking for Puerto Rican catering that delivers both flavor and heart, Rican Redneck is it. Professional, reliable, and absolutely delicious. They helped make our daughter’s special day even more memorable. More...

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of enjoying The Rican Redneck’s delicious Puerto Rican food at several family events, and it never disappoints! The flavors are always on point, and every dish gets rave reviews. Without fail, someone always asks, “Who catered this food?” The Rican Redneck has truly become like family to us. We especially love the chicharrón de pollo, the mouthwatering carne frita, and the perfectly seasoned pernil. Nandy is amazing—he always remembers to make tostones for our little guy, which means so much to us! Whether it’s at a family gathering or straight from the food truck, we’re always excited to grab a plate and enjoy the great food and even better company. If you’re ever in town, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won’t be disappointed! 😊 More...

We have used The Rican Redneck's catering for several family and church events and they have excelled every single time. It's not easy to cater for old school Puerto Ricans who know the authentic, traditional flavors of our food, so believe me when I say their food is absolutely amazing! They do not disappoint in any way, and are the most pleasant people to work with. I am pleased to leave them my 5-Star review. More...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of using The Rican Redneck for a gathering of our Air Force service members ✈️🇺🇸, and I cannot express enough how impressed we all were 😍! They traveled over two and a half hours to deliver an incredible feast of authentic Puerto Rican food 🍽️🇵🇷 that was nothing short of spectacular. The food arrived right on time ⏰, piping hot and fresh 🌡️. The menu featured delicious rice with peas 🍚🌱, tender pork 🍖, and flavorful elbow pasta salads 🍝🥗 that were a hit with everyone. Each dish was bursting with flavor 🤤, and it was clear that a lot of care went into preparing every item. Not only was the food exceptional, but The Rican Redneck also offers the best prices in the zone 💰, making it a fantastic choice for any gathering 🎉. I can't thank them enough for their outstanding service and delicious food 🙏. We are already looking forward to our next event with them! 🎊 Thank you, The Rican Redneck, for making our gathering a memorable one! ❤️ Gracias por traernos un pedacito de PR en estas navidades lejos de casa!

What’s your signature dish?
We have many, such as our Roast Pork and Yellow Rice with Pigeon Peas. We also are the first to bring into the Carolinas the “Jibarito” made with fried plantains instead of bread, L.T.O, mayochup sauce and Roast Pork. Our “Tripleta’ (Triple Rican Sandwich) is always requested. It has 3 meats (Roast Pork, Shredded Chicken and Sliced Ham, Swiss Cheese, L.T.O mayochup sauce on an 8” hoagie bun and toasted on a panini press.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
I focus on quality instead of quantity. This is why I keep my menu simple however there isnt anything simple about the flavors you will experience from every bite.
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing customers eyes open wide open when they experience the burst of flavors from our food. It gives me a sense of satisfaction that they’re not only enjoying the food but also getting a glimpse into our Puerto Rican culture as well.
What inspired you to start your own business?
As I have embraced the Southern culture, I too want those in the South to embrace mine, one bite at a time.
Why should our clients choose you?
The Food first and foremost, as well as myself and my wife.
