I have used Don Paella for the past three years. My family and I have had an excellent experience every year. The lobster paella is super.

We enjoy the paella every time we use them. Courteous and professional service. Will certainly will hire them again

Delicious seafood paella! We had it delivered rather than made on site for reasons of our own. It was for the family birthdays in January. We lovingly call it "La Fiesta de Los Viejos". The paella was extraordinary! We had the seafood one with lobster and it was chock full of delicious and prime quality seafood. The delivery was on time as agreed, the price was reasonable and we had a wonderful time. We're talking about doing it again next year!!!! read more

Don Paella Catering - Seafood Paella - Caterers Near Me - Miami, Florida

Super rude people! I called to find out information about their catering service and I was treated so unprofessional. I would never want their business I have attached below a pic. According to Don Paella owner, call was 15 secs. It was actually 1 min!! I DID NOT CALL SAYING "I want information" I started my call saying, "Hi, I'm calling to find out information about your catering services that you offer." A few seconds into the phone call after going back and forth with him. I emphasized "it's for Saturday for 35ppl una paella" and he was still SUPER RUDE! & Now Don Paella is saying he thought it was a fake call?! Ridiculous.... People reading this, I wouldn't lie. I'm a business owner myself & customers are priority and should be treated with respect ! For me to spend time writing a review is because I was shocked! I was disgusted with the attitude. I ended the call telling him how rude he was and unprofessional and I didn't want his business anymore & he said "ok bye" like he didn't care. Right after I called another catering paella company SUPER NICE AND FRIENDLY! Shop around my yelp friends. Choose with caution!! Because now he's not only rude and unprofessional but HES A LIAR NOW. read more

Don Paella Catering - 1min phone call NOT 15 secs!!! - Caterers Near Me - Miami, Florida

Excellent team work. A Chef and an assistant came at the established time. They brough dinner rolls and assembled a tasty & fruity green salad.T and plenty of maduros. They both served the meal. The paella came still hot, on two very large paella pots covered by foil paper. One was a seafood paella and the other, a meat paella. The seafood paella had plenty of shrimp, scallops, calamary, oysters, etc. The meat one, chorizo, chicken breast, pork chunks. Great presentation! Better was the seasoning and taste of both (I tasted a little of each). There was very little left over. It was a success! This was a Christmas gift to customers. read more

Did a wonderful job at my Mom's 60th birthday! The chefs were kind and did a great job with the food. Thank you Don Paella!

Excellent! New Year's Eve impromptu dinner. Paella was "authentic, fresh, awesome". Service and follow-up super professional. Overall great. Youri you are the BEST! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Don Paella. I hired them for a relatively impromptu dinner party for 20 guests and everything went seamlessly! The staff was on time and very helpful with set up and such; the apps were delicious and nicely presented; and the paella was delicious! And the prices VERY reasonable! What more can you ask? I'd definitely hire them again! read more

What a wonderful group of people to work with. I had no idea what to expect, just went off of photos on Instagram. This was better than I imagined, everyone loved the food and the staff that came were so kind, professional and genuine. We will definitely use Don Paella again. Thank you !! read more

Everything was great the service and attention, the food was extremely exceptional, highly recommended.

The food was #excellent, the price was reasonable. All my guest loved it, and ate enough. I didn't give a 5* because, few guest told me chef wasn't friendly and was rude. read more

Don Paella was the perfect call for my daughter's graduation party. The paella was cooked to perfection and was the biggest hit of the party. I would highly recommend them for any event as they were easy to work with and very professional. read more

Best catering service around. I used them this past weekend for my daughter's bridal shower. The brunch was delicious, generous and just perfect, with everyone raving about the quality of the food, the yummy selections and the two sweet girls in charge of it all. Use them for your next event, you won't regret it. read more

My experience was pretty bad with Don Paella's employee who came out to cook and serve the paella, she was rude to the children at the party when they were hungry and wanted to eat before the adults. This woman basically yelled at them and said they couldn't be served just yet because the paella wasn't done cooking. Once the paella was cooked and ready to be served we wanted to take a picture of the masterpiece but she hurried us so that she can serve. To top it off, this woman yelled at our party guests demanding them to make a line to be served and slapped a spoon full of rice on each plate with the worst attitude. Her attitude was rude and made our experience with Don Paella pretty horrible. The food tasted delicious but the attitude that was served with it made our experience bitter. So sad! read more

I just used Don Paella again for my son's 5th Wedding Anniversary. As always; Awesome Paella from timely friendly professionals. We have used them for our business and home events for the last 9 years. Don Armando and Youry and his team are the real thing. Not stocked up, but down to earth friendly people that provide a great paella at a great price. Good Value! read more

We hired this company for our Pool Party Paella. I would not recommend this company. Our event consisted of 40 people. We paid $800 plus a $100 travel surcharge. What we got was one person cooking the paella in a small pan that was not impressive at all. The paella valenciana was not well prepared and did not taste good at all. When I saw the size of the pan, I asked the cook, if it would be enough for 40 people. He assured me it would be. What each guest received was a small amount of paella, about the size of the palm of a women's hand, with 2 pieces of bread and a small amount of salad to take up the empty space on the plate. In my opinion, this was a robbery. Needless to say the guests all felt ripped off as well. This was the first time our guests complained about an event. What a huge disappointment. I sent word to the owner with the cook about this disaster and never received a response. read more

Have used Don Paella catering the past few years and will continue to use them. They are professional and deliver on everything they promise. Oh and the food is outstanding. read more

We had a great experience using Don Paella to cater my son's birthday party. We ordered a Paella Valencia for 40 people starting at 12 noon with food service at 1PM. For about $11 a person, the food, chef and an additional server were included. A lot of the other paella caterers I called were charging the same price for just the food with a chef being another $200 with no servers. We supplied the plates and silverware. I was initially worried that these guys would be at the party on time, but unbelievably they showed up EARLY. It was almost too early being 1 hour and 15 minutes before the start time. Hey whatever better early than late. Both chef and server changed into uniforms and set up a pretty professional catering station next to their large paella pan. These guys came with their own fuel and a cooler with the food. At 12 they started cooking. The food was ready at 1PM as promised and it was AWESOME. The paella was piping hot and absolutely stocked with shrimp, clams, calamari, sausage and chicken. I'm getting hungry thinking about it. The food was enough for 50 people! The chef and server stayed until 3 and then put the paella in serving platters for us before leaving. My only warning would be that neither the chef or server spoke a lick of English. Luckily my ass can speak Spanish... The entire night we had constant comments about how great the food was. For this price you definitely cannot beat it. They also provide Parillada catering, lechons, and BBQs as well. We will definitely use these guys again in the future. read more

We had Don Paella cater my sister's 50th birthday. when I called to set up the gentleman was very friendly and informative. Great customer service. The chef showed up 15 minutes earlier than scheduled and set up quickly. The presentation was beautiful and tasted even better. Will definitely use their service again! read more

Service was outstanding. The food was delicious. And I'm already looking for another excuse to call them back. I catered Don Paella for my mom's 60th birthday party and all my guests left wondering when was the next one. Gladys and Augustine (the Don Paella chef and assistant) were outstanding. They arrived early and were incredibly nice. They even helped me set the tables. Without me having to tell them they decorated the paella with the number 60 on it so my mom and her friends could take pictures. We ate right on time and everyone raved about the food. It was fresh, delicious, and piping hot. There were plenty of left overs. I would absolutely recommend them if your looking for a delicious and easy solution to help you host a get together. read more

Don Paella Catering - Paella Marinera for mom's 60th birthday - Caterers Near Me - Miami, Florida

First I want to say the paella and the chefs (employees) were good. However the owner and his manners left very little to say. I was a guest at the party where Don Paella was providing their catering services. He was scheduled to arrive at 2 pm and it was 3 pm my best friend host of the event was already very worried and anxious that the food service had not arrived. Keep in mind all the guest were already in the house waiting to see the paella be made, which takes about 1 1/2 to make. We called him several times and he never called back. We finally got in touch with him at 3:30 pm throug someone else's number and the owner became very aggressive and Badmouthing us because we were inquiring about his arrival time. My friend was already ready to a local restaurant to provide another catering options. This was very disappointing and we would never recommend this company to anyone ever!!!! Horrible owner and horrible manners. He was a pig! read more

Without a doubt I would hire them again! I was happy, my guests too .... Super delicious my pella, it was the magic touch of the night! Many thanks to Don Paella and China for preparing it so exquisitely read more

Always a positive experience with Don Paella Catering. Delicious, affordable and on time.

Very professional and on time. Good quality ingredients and great flavor. Fast cleanup and quantity of food was more than enough.

Horrible service and very unprofessional!! I do not recommend hiring this company for any event that has significant meaning. My daughter was urged to hire the owner's wife as the day of event coordinator in order to make sure that we could spend time together getting ready and to be able to enjoy the special moments of her big day. We ended up having to set up and coordinate the flow of the events ourselves, as the evening progressed. After not completing her job, my daughter was haggled, while on the dance floor of her wedding, to pay the remaining portion of the bill (without even being able to review it). After writing an email about the evening, the response from the owner was filled with unprofessional argumentative comments- there was no resolution offered. Response: Thank you for the response to my review. I have pictures of my husband and myself moving the rented furniture in place and setting up the tables. The owner was not at the event to be able to comment on anything except hearsay. However, let me just clarify one simple fact....The day of coordinator according to Bride magazine (a very reliable source for Brides) Is, "A day-of wedding coordinator is a person responsible for making sure the wedding day or weekend is executed perfectly. Their roles include overseeing vendors, managing the timeline, and overcoming any last-minute challenges that arise during the festivities." If that was not a manageable, then we should have been made aware. Every event will have challenges and that is what the day of coordinator is supposed to handle. Therefore, we were delayed in getting dressed for the event because we did have to set up and move the furniture and take care of all the challenges ourselves. read more

Owner was very nice and understanding. Employees were punctual and down to earth. Price was fair, but was concerned about food quality. Oh Man!! Food was excellent!! Not salty, nor underseasoned.. Perfect!! read more

We had a party of 75 people for our wedding reception. The staff and owners could not have been nicer. Not only was the food fabulous and the service superb, but the staff went way above and beyond staying extra hours, providing a bartender at the last minute and helping stow all the rented chairs and tables for pickup. I would highly recommend this company for you next event! read more

I'm throwing a nursing graduation party for my wife and I just called to get a quote for 35 people and whoever is picking up the phone has obviously no customer service skills. After being talk to like a child I let the attendant know that he was rude and taking my business elsewhere. The attendant promptly said "ok, bye" and hung up rather than helping me or trying to save a customer. There are a whole bunch of other paella catering services in Miami don't get disrespected to spend hard earned money. read more

Had Don Paella catering 2x at Crossbridge Brickell, and I can tell you that we will be serving together again!

Don Paella was a hit all around, she arrived on time....Ana....she immediately went to work setting up and soon after you could smell the delicious aroma emanating from her wonderful cooking, did I mentioned it was a wedding? I'm sure all the guest were thinking can we skip the ceremony and go straight for the food....ha ha ha, nah just kidding but it was killing me I tell you. She made an amazing paella, it smelled good it tasted like the food of the gods and yes I went back for seconds, a lovely salad and delicious rolls accompany this meal, it was worth every penny. Ana was very sweet and friendly and knows how to make a mean paella, now I need to have a party of my own so I can request Ana to make me a paella to die for..... She embellished the paella at the end with a wedding centerpiece, it was artwork, is the small touches that made this paella presentation over the top, everyone was very pleased specially the bride and groom. As Ana came she left, quickly efficiently, I think we had a bond....come back Ana read more
