January 19, 2025We ordered Paella (chicken and seafood) for 15 people for Christmas Eve. It arrived on time and was still hot! Everyone commented on how delicious and authentic it was and some went back for seconds. There was an assortment of and plenty of seafood pieces cooked perfectly in the rice along with the chicken. Having this arrive gave me plenty of time to enjoy my guests and not have to spend time in the kitchen. It was totally worth it and I will definitely order from Real Paella again in the future!

April 24, 2024We used real paella for our rehearsal dinner and they knocked it out of the park. They showed up on time with everything they needed. They are very personable and friendly. I can emphasize how they practice proper food safety and are very clean. The food, was absolutely fantastic. We got the seafood appetizer vegan paella and the original paella and everything was just delicious. All of our guests were able to get seconds and fill their bellies. Only compliments to this company they are amazing, would use again in the future. 11/10

September 27, 2023We had a terrifically delicious and fun paella party with Real Paella. We had a small get together of about 20 people, ages from 13 to the 85 year old birthday boy. All loved the food and had fun interacting with the chef as he created a delicious paella mixta. The tapas were delish, as well as the salad and flan. Juan was great to work with. Everything was well organized and easy. I highly recommend Real Paella.
Debby K.
July 20, 2023Real paella did a great job. We had them come early so they could cook on site which was super awesome being able to have fresh food cooked for our guests at the campgrounds. It created an awesome atmosphere for our friends and family before we joined them. Everyone said the food was great and the cheesecake was amazing. Thank you for making our family dinner special

June 20, 2023What a wonderful experience it was to work with real paella. We used them for a Welcome Party the Night before our sons wedding. They came early set up and even brought plates and utensils. Everyone enjoyed watching Juan make the Paella and the smell was amazing! After everyone was served they put the remaining Paella in containers and cleaned up the area. It was a real delight. Thank you

February 15, 2023100% would hire again! Real Paella was so easy to work for with for our post-elopement wedding reception! They were flexible when the weather wasn’t ideal and made adjustments for on-site cooking even in windy conditions. The paella was delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests absolutely raved about the food. Juan and his team were professional, courteous, and helpful throughout the event. They are also affordable! I can’t wait to throw another party so we can bring them back! I highly recommend choosing Real Paella, especially over more traditional (more boring and expensive) catering options.

December 21, 2022Real Paella went above and beyond for our wedding! This paella is literally my favorite food I have ever had and all of our guests were so impressed with the food and the presentation. Juan Ten and his employees were so great to work with and very quick to respond via email when I had any questions or concerns. If your looking for a catering company that will wow your guests, this is the one!

November 21, 2022Real paella is the most authentic n best tasting paella. The chef n staff were super fun while working hard to make the best paella experience ever. They had the most impressive paella stand and cooking set up I have ever seen. Super professional and super joyful. I'm glad they catered our wedding.

October 21, 2022Real Paella catered an office party on short notice and helped deliver my message to my coworkers: they are valuable, appreciated and thought of, my WORK FAMILY. The paella mixta was the best meal to contribute. Juan was super professional and kind. A couple of the workers asked for Real Paella’s website to hire for future events. Real Paella helped make a memorable day. I will definitely recommend them and hire them again 👍😃

Real Paella made our 40th birthday dinner party a huge success. It was such a fun and special way to celebrate and worth every penny. Paella was absolutely delicious!

June 21, 2022
If I could give Real Paella 100 stars, I would. They were fantastic at our wedding. Not only did the paella taste great, but I’m sure the whole surrounding neighborhood... read more could smell the deliciousness that is Real paella. the portions are awesome and I still noticed multiple guest going up for seconds and thirds. And Juan was so incredibly easy to work with. Pro tip: grab some tapas before all your guests go ham on them! Best catering service ever!
