Señor Pepe’s paella is the best I’ve ever had (here or in Spain). You can tell the love he has for his craft and he has made our family events even better with his beautiful and amazing paellas!

This review may be a bit biased, since I am the daughter of Señor Pepe and all, but I can assure you that this food is one of a kind. Señor Pepe is as meticulous as they come when it comes to quality! There isn’t a single paella that is prepared that isn’t carefully thought out, down to the freshest ingredients and exquisite presentations. Señor Pepe truly cares about what goes into his paellas and won’t substitute ingredients that don’t meet his high expectations. Time and time again he wows not only his clients, but himself. Hire Señor Pepe for your next event. He’s a chef that truly caters! (Pun intended ????) More...

We had them cater our wedding this past weekend, and it could not have been more perfect. If you want something easy where the caterer brings everything they need and is also absolutely delicious, Senor Pepe’s should be your caterer. It was so simple yet so delicious and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. He provides salad and bread with the paella of your choosing. The seafood was our favorite! If they aren’t your caterer, you’re missing out. More...

Senor Pepes was the caterer for an event at our farm, Southern Fresh Farms, Friday night. We had not tasted paella before. ..it was beyond delicious! The freshness of all the abundant ingredients made it perfect! I am afraid if we ever have it from someone else we will be highly disappointed. I certainly hope we will have the honor of your return bookings soon. We will be passing your information along. Thank you for allowing me to ask so many questions and I throughly enjoyed watching you prepare the paella. More...

We recently had Senor Pepe's Paella cater our event in our home and it was nothing short of spectacular! Every aspect of the service was exceptional. Jose was very personable, professional and fun. They arrived exactly as planned. Our guests enjoyed watching the preparation from beginning to end and the Paella was delicious. Many of our guests had second and third helpings! Jose traveled from Ft Myers to Sarasota for our event and is willing to travel even further. The best part is he loves what he does! That is reflected in his food. Exceptional quality. Can't wait for the opportunity to call on Senor Pepe's Paella for my next event. More...

Senor Pepe was so fun and easy to work with. I hosted a rehearsal dinner at my rental house for 25 guests. The dinner experience he provided to my guests was like nothing many of us have encountered before! The food was excellent too with just the right amount of flavor and spice that left us all satisfied and abundantly full. I highly recommend Senor Pepe's for your catering needs!! More...

Absolutely amazing!!! So polite and professional the food is to die for♡♡♡ whomever says their rude hasn't had them. Señor Pepe, is a paella genius. He has such a passion for the paella and it's evident when you taste it. BURSTING with flavor, my favorite is the vegetarian but he makes a seafood one with fresh lobster... everything is fresh. I've had him cater a few of my events already and he never ceases to amaze me. I have another party in a few months and I already have my date reserved♡ More...

What’s your signature dish?
Paella is one of my favorite foods. There are so many variations and they all would be considered my signature dish. If I had to choose one it would be the paella mixta. This paella has everything in it. Chicken, Spanish chorizo, mussels, clams, sea scallops, squid, fish and tons of shrimps. Prepared with a homemade saffron infused broth, carrots, green beans, onions, garlic and garnished with roasted piquillo peppers, green peas, rosemary and lemon wedges.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
Paella is a option that pairs well with so many celebrations. Once we know the type of venue we can then offer options on what would work best for the customer. Not everyone likes or can eat seafood so we offer meat paella and vegetarian as well. If you like spice. we can spice it up with La Paella Mexicana or the traditional Jambalaya.
What do you love most about your job?
I really enjoy watching my clients and their guests circle around the paella pan as I prepare the meal they are about to consume. I love answering questions about the meal, its history, and the ingredients used to make it. It makes me stand out from just another caterer.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always worked in the food industry. Working in restaurants in Queens, food establishments in Green point Brooklyn and also Midtown Manhattan (NYC) The passion and love I have for cooking. I understand that every event is extremely important to the customer. It's as equally important that I make sure all my clients and their guest are treated professionally, respected and service with a smile. Try to answer any of their many questions regarding the food they are about to consume. letting my customer know that I care.
Why should our clients choose you?
Experience. I have worked in the food industry since high school. Everything from working in restaurants in Astoria, Queens, Food trucks in Brooklyn, Partner in a fast food Italian restaurant in Jamaica Queens, food club in New York City that served employee's daily meals. I also worked selling hot dogs and Italian sausage's on the corner of 56th and Madison Avenue. I have cooked everyday for over 35 years on top of keeping current with new trends, researching products, marketing and involved in every aspect of the food industry including courses on food protection and management, I recently traveled to Spain, the birthplace of my great, great grandfather. My trip began in A Coruna located in the north west region of Galicia then continued to our hometown of "Lugo" Spain. I toured A Coruna, Santiago de Compastella, Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Murcia, Granada, Herencia, Alcazar De San Juan, Toledo and Castilla La Mancha. I met with several Chefs in different regions. Made many new friends.
Paella catering service
No special event is complete without delicious food and Señor Pepe's Paella Catering is proud to take care of that for you. We cook authentic Spanish paella throughout the state of Florida. Paella is a classic Spanish dish that originates in Valencia, Spain. Paella is comprised of key ingredients such as imported rice, saffron, paprika, sofrito and a variety of meats, shellfish and vegetables. Paella is cooked outside over an open fire in a paella pan.
