Habanero’s catered my wedding at La Tranquila Ranch on 01.18.25 and they did amazing!! From the appetizers to the main dishes. Everyone loved it as well, Joel the owner is very helpful and sweet as well as his staff. One of his staff members help me clean up my dress during my wedding because I had got sauce on it just an hour in! Definitely recommend and will use them in the future for catering events.

Great bang for your buck both food wise and customer service wise. Super easy to work with. I was able to create my very own menu spanning pre-meal drinks, appetizers, meal, sides, desserts and drinks. The staff was incredibly kind, I love how they went around to the tables bringing refills. They took care of most things, I would recommend double and triple checking the list of who brings what or at least that’s what I had to do for my sanity. I love that I was able to do fajita steak in the enchiladas, that really kicked it up a notch. Everyone raved about the tres leches, saying it was the best they ever had. Wish there was some more chicken and sauce in/on the enchiladas but maybe I just got the end ones…

We are in love with Habanero's Grill & Bar. Joel and his team catered our wedding and he did not disappoint!! Everything was perfect and the food was delicious! My guests all went for seconds and were impressed with how the food was presented. We are extremely pleased on how good the food tasted! Joel was very attentive and made sure everything went smoothly.
Out of all the caterers I met and received quotes from, Joel was absolutely the best one, hands down! Great communication with him during my initial inquiry and was very patient answering all of my questions. Was the only caterer who had three dinner and side options for my guests to choose from, my family is very picky and this worked perfectly for us. Everyone chose what they wanted to eat, for the main meals we had chicken marsala, cajun chicken and chicken fried chicken. Even added a cheese pizza for my little brother, he was very happy at wedding and it means a lot to me that he was able to do that for us. He also altered one of the dishes to accommodate my husband’s preferences, since he didn’t like mushrooms. Our ceremony ending 15 minutes earlier than expected, but Joel was ready and got right to serving my guests.
Joel really made our wedding perfect and even cut our cake for us! There were even left overs that we were able to take home. He made sure everything was neatly packed and the kitchen was cleaned before his departure. I’m looking forward towards my next event, I would hired Joel in a heartbeat! Will definitely to come his restaurant and continue to eat his delicious food.
If you are still deciding on your catering needs, trust me Habanero’s Grill & Bar is definitely the best choice!

Habaneros Catering made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable with their exceptional service and mouthwatering cuisine. From the moment we began planning our special day, Joel at Habaneros demonstrated their professionalism and dedication to making our event perfect.
The food was an absolute highlight of the day. The flavors were incredible, and every dish was presented beautifully. We received countless compliments from our guests about how delicious and unique the menu was.
But it wasn't just about the food; it was also about the impeccable service. The staff at Habaneros were attentive, friendly, and efficient. They went above and beyond to ensure that every guest had a wonderful dining experience, and they seamlessly coordinated all aspects of the meal service.
Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!

Habanero's had many different catering options. I went with the chicken parm, chicken picatta, and shrimp scampi and got many compliments from my guests on how good the food was. In addition, Joel prepared eggplant parmesan for the vegetarian guests which was a very kind gesture!

Please look no further when looking for a catering company for your wedding. Joel, the owner of habeneros went above and beyond to make our special day so special! The food was fantastic and Joel and his crew did an outstanding job of making sure everyone was satisfied, that the tables were clean, and that dish wear and everything was spotless for the rental company to pick up by the end of the night. Thanks again Habeneros for making our wedding such a breeze!

The food is sooooo goood! Chef Joel is so nice and such an awesome chef. He gave us so many great options to choose from we almost couldn't decide. We had the House Salad to start then gave our guests the choice of Cajun Chicken with a cream sauce or Chicken Fried Chicken. The sides were mashed potatoes (which were clouds of heaven), green beans (fresh, not canned), mixed vegetables and a warm dinner roll. Everything tasted just like when we had our tasting. Our guests loved the cajun chicken dish.
