Coño Que Rico catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Lakeland, FL

Hello my name is Leslie I have been cooking since I was 12 years old and turned my passion into a career. We have been in business for the past 5 years . Our passion is turning your wedding into a night you and your guests will never forget because let’s be honest everyone always remembers the food. We specialize in Hispanic cuisine but offer so much more . Our team and I will work our magic in an efficient, professional, personal & friendly manner to make your day run as smooth as possible. We understand every wedding is unique and every budget is different that’s why we offer a free consultation to make sure you get exactly what you want.

I recently had the pleasure of booking Coño Que Rico for our event, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! From the very first interaction, Leslie was incredibly professional, friendly, and made the whole process feel effortless. She took care of every detail, ensuring everything was perfect. Now, the food—WOW! You can tell Leslie pours her heart into every dish. The flavors were incredible, and every bite felt like a taste of home. Her pernil was a showstopper, tender and packed with the perfect blend of seasonings. The arroz con gandules was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, while the lechón asado was juicy and savory. And the tostones were crispy and addictive! To top it off, her fresh-baked pastries were an absolute delight—flaky, buttery, and the perfect end to an amazing meal. If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers on both taste and exceptional service, Coño Que Rico is the one to book. I can’t wait to work with Leslie again for future events! Highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Dinner Party Project is great. I started out just going to a dinner of theirs. Then when my actual wedding venue shut down in 2020 I was at a loss with what to do. I still wanted to get married but was willing to have a more intimate event while I waited for our venue to reopen. I has tried to reach out to some different chefs in Orlando and was trying to plan it all myself, but I wasn't really hearing back from anyone and then I thought about Dana from TDPP. I reached out to her about my ideas and my dates and if it was even possible and she made it ALL happen. She worked with me to get the chef I wanted and a menu that everyone could eat. The night was so fun. Her hand-crafted cocktails are amazing too. The food was so good and each course was seamless. I didn't realize someone from the night was allergic to shrimp and the chef worked it out! I would recommend her for dinner parties as well as the new, and very popular, micro-weddings happening all over. She gave a very intimate touch to our very intimate and special evening. Give her a call.

Award Winning BBQ catering company with over 10 years of experience! We can cater for any event large or small. From corporate functions, weddings, baby showers, birthdays, and more!! Let us help make your event special.

Our wedding was planned in approximately 10 months and from the moment I sat down with Melissa at Dade City BBQ I knew it was the perfect choice for us. First, she was kind, always answered any and all questions we had, no matter how small they were. We met for a tasting (delish!) and fell in love with her even more. In addition, we tasted all the meats and sides for a BBQ buffet. We chose pulled pork, chicken quarters and added brisket. Our 3 sides were mac & cheese, collard greens and potato salad w/ cornbread. They were ALL delicious. Our guests raved about everything and especially the greens! We also opted for a grazing table for our guests. It was beautifully presented and absolutely beautiful and delicious. Our guests were in awe! She even made us our own plate because she knew we were busy talking with our guests. I would highly recommend this caterer! VERY FAIR prices, large portions and happy guests. I am 100% pleased. Thank you Melissa and your amazing staff!!

Chef David Taylor LLC

  • Starts at $510
  • Serves Lakeland, FL

I'm a Private chef and culinary consultant for local restaurants. I've been providing gourmet on-site meals and catering for many occasion in central Florida. ​ I hold a Serv-Safe Certification, Florida DBPR contracted food safety provider and -COI- certificate of insurance for third parties general liability.

We are so blessed to have found Chef David Taylor to create a wonderful menu for our daughter’s wedding. We had had a couple of tastings with event caterers and were so extremely disappointed with the lack of creativity and quality that it made us anxious. Luckily, we found Chef David who advertised being a private Chef vs. a caterer. He taught us the difference and boy was he right! He helped us put together a great menu and during the tasting, we experienced an incredible meal from appetizers to a three course high end meal. We opted for a surf and turf main dish and let me tell you…the steak was most tender and flavorful and scallops tasted out of this world! Not only were the dishes he made extremely delicious, but the presentation quite impressive. Chef David provides his experience, talent, responsiveness, and recommendations to make the vision we have for this special day a reality. We know our guests are going to be impressed by the presentation, quality of the meal, and enjoy the interactions with Chef and his staff. We are so excited about this upcoming wedding! I will update this review after the wedding event early next month!
