Jose is the best!!! We just had our wedding a few days ago and I'm still getting texts about how delicious our food was! From the beginning he was so helpful, even offering recommendations for other vendors and for our menu too. He has an open line of communication, is clear with the whole process and even took our feedback and applied it to our event (my now husband just asked for a few things and he changed it for him). We booked him cuz his food is delicious but his arten to detail the day of the wedding and his staff members were also all fantastic. Aa a final note, like it is for all brides and grooms, we were being pulled every which way on our wee day but head tracked us down and made sure we got appetizers, drinks and our food first too. That was really special and very appreciated considering I barely ate before then. Thank you again! read more

Mr. Worldwide catered my wedding on October 11, 2025, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. I first met him at the Loft 84 bridal show, where I immediately fell in love with the food. He hosted a food tasting at my house, which made the experience feel so personal and special. It was such a fun experience, and it made us even more excited for our big day! He was also very charismatic and such a nice man, which made the entire process even more enjoyable. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and their events. On the day of the wedding, the food did not disappoint. The appetizers were my favorite part we chose the aguachile and sopes, and I highly recommend both! Mr. Worldwide is the way to go! read more

Always wonderful to have Mr. Worldwide Catering at our events! The food is great and the service is professional and friendly. Very trustworthy company! read more

After talking for a few weeks and having the the a tasting scheduled. Last minute he canceled the tasting and said that we would need to pay 3k of deposit to do the tasting, when he never mentioned that before. Very unprofessional. read more

We cannot recommend Mr. Worldwide Catering enough! They did an absolutely amazing job catering our wedding on December 7th. From start to finish, they were incredibly easy to work with, always kind, and so accommodating to our needs. The food was beyond delicious--every dish was a hit with our guests! Their professionalism and polished service made the entire meal experience seamless, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. My only regret is not having more time to chat with Jose, who was kind enough to find me and say hello. As the bride and groom, it was to be expected that things were a bit hectic, but we are so grateful to him for taking the time to connect with us personally. If you're looking for exceptional catering for your next event, do yourself a favor and hire them. We certainly will be again! I don't have any photos of the food yet but as soon as I do, will come back and post it. Rest assured it was beautiful! read more

OVERALL AMAZING!!! Jose & his team were exceptional in their professionalism, attention to detail and overall service from start to finish. Went above and beyond with their catering services for our daughter's sweet 16 birthday party. The food was of the highest quality in addition to the service provided by the staff to not only us but our guests and other vendors on-site. We received so many compliments on the food. Truly a class act and will look to hire Mr. World Wide Catering again for any future celebrations as well as referring to others! Thank you so very much!! read more

These guys killed it! All I heard all night is how great the food was! On top of that they made sure my bride and I had snacks at our table and were well taken care of! And when we finally got to eat hours later at our hotel room the food was still amazing! They made our wedding a smash!! read more

I have had Mr. Worldwide Catering cater multiple events for me for the last 3 years for groups of 70 to 150 for buffet and plated style service. Most recently, I had them cater my annual Gala Fundraiser for 150 people for a 3 course plated dinner with tray passed appetizers on Saturday April 6th, 2024. Jose has always been easy to work with in the menu and logistics planning and his staff have always been friendly. professional and thorough. They arrive with plenty of time to be ready when food service needs to begin. Jose's easy going, calm demeanor makes working with them a breeze, which has not always been my experience with chef's in the event planning industry for over 15 years. As an event planner, there is no greater peace of mind that you can have knowing the vendors you hire are going to deliver and be dependable, flexible, and communicative. The food is delicious, the service is great, hiring Jose for your event is a no brainer. read more

Outstanding Service Extremely Professional Staff Easy to communicate with Jose was very easy to work with for my wedding day. They are very professional and everybody kept raving about how amazing his food is. I received so many positive remarks and compliments on the food. 5 Star Service! Great job! read more

Jose catered our wedding in May 15th and it was truly amazing! #1 the food was delicious! all of Our guests told us how much they loved the food and they went back for seconds #2 the staff was so polite and amazing we had a buffet style dinner and also hired a bartender through Mr WorldWide Catering and honestly everything was great! Jose is so professional and responsive I was truly happy with everything and couldn't have asked for anything more! 10/10 would recommend Jose and his team! read more

It's easy to write this review since Jose was on top of his 'ish from the very start. He was accommodating to our planning this wedding from another country, his food was awesome, and his prices were so reasonable. Everyone that helped on the day was polite and efficient. I barely got to eat, of course, but we got tons of compliments on the food! read more

Great job catering our daughter Alexa's Quinceañera. Food was delicious, we had the arrachera and chicken fajitas with poblano rice. Jose and his staff provided great service to all our guests. read more

We found Jose based on a referral from a friend that used him in the past, and we couldn't have been happier with our entire experience. From start to finish, he and his staff provided exceptional food and service for our wedding! We were able to schedule a tasting with him and he came to us and prepared multiple options for us to try. The hardest part was making the decision on which food we wanted as they were all so good. On our wedding day, he ensured we got special appetizers brought to us as we were busy with pictures, he himself even chased us down the street with drinks in hand. When it was time to eat, his staff quickly got 130 people served with ease. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, the communication, the options, the affordability, the service, the quality of food! If you are looking for a caterer for your event, look no further! Jose and his team are the real deal! read more

If I could give NEGATIVE stars I would. Jose is so unprofessional and uncaring. We booked him months in advance and we were all set to have him cater our wedding on Oct. 2nd. We last spoke on Sept. 24th regarding our final guest count, Jose stated he would be sending over our invoice for payment. Early Monday morning at 5am, just 2 days later, I received a notification from Venmo stating Jose had refunded my deposit and canceled the payment request. I did not receive a phone call, a text message, or even an email from Jose. He literally cancelled and didn't even have the courtesy to call and let us know. Keep in mind this is 5 days before our big day. I buried my grandfather today and had to deal not only with his loss but with this situation as well. We had to call Jose 3 different times, texted him twice before Jose finally responded BY TEXT. I received no apology ( not that I expect one from someone like Jose) he made no effort to try and help us problem solve, no recommendations, no anything. And I will be posting the receipts. He's not even worth my energy and all I have to say is karma will take care of everything. If I were you I would not trust him with your special day, he is not reliable or trustworthy. He instantly blocked my account on all social media platforms and even Venmo ( talk about sketchy, wants to make sure no one finds out what he did) ! While calling many other caterers in the area we informed them of what Mr. World Wide did and I'm sure they will not hesitate to warn others about his unprofessionalism. PLEASE HIRE SOMEONE ELSE, you do not want this to happen to you on your special day. read more

See all

My husband and I had Jose and his team at Mr. WorldWide cater our Rehearsal dinner for 50 and Wedding Reception dinner for 150 on March 30, 2024. The rehearsal dinner was a fajita buffet and the reception dinner was a plated bbq dinner. Both were absolutely delicious and he and his team were both professional as well as personable. At something like a wedding, it's important that everyone involved has a great attitude and adds to the day, and Jose did this and beyond. Jose also personally ensured that Don and I had everything we needed. Because we were busy taking photos during the cocktail hour, we missed the passed bites, but Jose made sure to bring some over to us once we sat down for dinner. He also checked in with us multiple times while we were eating to see if we needed anything else. And lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the food was DELICIOUS. Would absolutely recommend and would hire him again for any event. read more

Jose is amazing! He is extremely professional and talented. His food is delicious, and great presentation. My fiancé and I had a great experience with the food tasting. Everything was delicious. Looking forward to Jose and his team helping us make our special day extra delicious read more

Mr Worldwide catering was AMAZING! I would highly recommend hiring him for your wedding. The meat was so tender, not dry and very flavorful. The cute little passed appetizers were beautifully arranged and also delicious. He was very gracious with me during these two years (thanks covid) and postponing my wedding. He was also patient with me and let us customize our menu exactly how we wanted. We are so glad we chose Jose and I would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding or event! We had 120 guests and chose plated dinner (initially had chosen buffet but then switched due to having more room in budget) read more

I had Jose cater my wedding on September 21st and the food came out soooo good! My guests really enjoyed the food to the point they went for 2nds and 3rds! We got compliments about the food throughout the night. He beat our expectations! I totally recommend him read more

I had the pleasure of having Mr worldwide at our wedding. Jose did a wonderful job the food was amazing and everyone loved it. For any future events I will definitely bring him back and be recommending to anyone looking for food that is 5 stars. Thanks again Steven and Ivette Tavarez read more

Don't think twice and hire Mr. Worldwide! Jose and his team are amazing! He actively communicated with us from day one and made us feel comfortable and at ease. He traveled almost 2 hours in traffic just to meet with us for a tasting and answer any questions. My husband explained our vision to Jose, and he delivered way more than we ever dreamed of. In the middle of the wedding chaos Jose made sure my husband and I got to taste the appetizers that disappeared in minutes, he even came over and handed us our first drink of the night, he brought us a well-served plate of food to our table, the table set up matched our decor. Thanks to Jose and his team everything flowed perfectly and even though we started 30 minutes late. Another vendor delivered unfolded napkins 45 minutes before the ceremony and Jose response was "how do you want us to fold these?" He didn't think twice about taking on a responsibility that wasn't his. It's been a couple weeks now and every guest we've seen brings up the food and how delicious it was. He even packaged up all the extra food for us to take home. Jose, if you read this know that because of you and your team are wedding was a success, because of you guys a small gathering turned out to be our best day ever! read more

Jose is awesome! His staff is so great as well. They helped make our wedding the best day ever. When we did our tasting he came to our house & was very professional. We fell in love with his cooking & loved how accommodating he. Everyone after the wedding have been telling us just how perfect the food was. I highly recommend hiring him for your big day! read more

Highly recommend! Jose committed to everything promised. For our tasting he made it such a wonderful experience. He not only made great food but was very detailed in putting the right recipes together. I can't explain enough how friendly and professional he was in every part of his business. If I ever need a caterer Jose is the person I will always be going to! read more

PHENOMENAL FOOD, AMAZING SERVICE AND PROFESSIONALISM. YES, I'M WRITING IN ALL CAPS SO THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK CAN HEAR ME! lol All joking aside they were amazing and wish I could have tipped them a million dollars because that's what they deserved. I want to have another event just so I can call them to cater it! Great Job Mr Worldwide, I'm still dreaming about the cilantro lime rice and Mexican corn salad! read more

We hired Jose to cater our wedding of 120 people and he did not disappoint! In fact, Jose and his team went over the top to ensure a smooth event. So many people complimented us on the choice of food as it was delicious! We would not hesitate to recommend Jose for your event, nor would we hesitate to hire him again! Our wedding featured tri-tip steak, grilled chicken, mixed veggies, and fall salad. Jose truly went above and beyond to ensure him and his team were seamless in interacting with the wedding part. read more

We were lucky enough to have Mr. Worldwide cater our wedding and it was absolutely divine. We went with Italian for our dinner and everything was amazing. All three pastas tasted great but what I loved most is that he makes everything from scratch and this is evident in each bite. Sauces are perfect and not too creamy as many people make them. He even made us a special platter for my bride and I to share on our special day. I sincerely hope we have another reason to hire him again. Very professional. Great to work with Mr. Worldwide and his team. read more

Mr. WorldWide Catering - Charcuterie platter was phenomenal!!! - Caterers Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

Jose did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding at Pitchouline in Fallbrook. For appetizers we had bacon wrapped dates, chicken skewers, caprese skewers and bruschetta. For the main entree we did tri tip with chimichurri, roasted potatoes, raspberry feta salad, cucumber and tomato salad, and asparagus. Everything was so perfect & warm considering it was a freezing night! I received tons of compliments from our guests about the food. I would highly recommend Jose & his team! read more

Mr. WorldWide Catering - Caterers Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

I am an event coordinator and when I see Jose and his team are coming I know the food portion of the event is something I no longer have to worry about. Jose does an amazing job, his crew are all professional and just a pleasure to work beside. The food is amazing as well. I look forward to our paths crossing again. read more

Jose and his staff were an amazing selection for our clients wedding catering. They were ontime, prompt with service and performed above and beyond what they were contracted to. And the food was amazing!! We cant wait to work with you again very soon!! Cheers, Megan Brown read more

Jose is very responsive and has great service, along with him being a great chef of course! He traveled to my parents house for us to do a tasting for our wedding and we were blown away. It was amazing. We got so many compliments from our friends and family about how good the food was. With that being said I have a couple nitpicky complaints for constructive feedback: The plates and silverware were not what we had originally discussed at the tasting. They were supposed to be the nice plastic that looked real and we got clear which looked cheesy to us. It could have had to do with the fact that we did the tasting about a year in advance and things could have been forgotten or overlooked but the change was never communicated to us. Also, my husband requested to have a spicy BBQ sauce during our tasting and the BBQ sauce was on the side at that time. We discussed having spicy and mild options. I was very excited for the pulled pork at the wedding but it had spicy BBQ sauce all over it! I thought it was going to be on the side, like it was during the tasting. It was so spicy that I couldn't even eat it. :( One of our aunts was not able to eat any of the meat because it was "too peppery" but that was the only other complaint that we got. Other than that everyone loved it. Everything was great and I would still highly recommend Mr. WorldWide Catering, it just wasn't quite perfect for my event. read more

If you are looking for a caterer, stop right here and hire this man. José catered our backyard wedding for 60 guests and it was beyond perfect. From start to finish he was professional, courteous, and kind. He listened to our vision and worked with us to create a perfect menu that also fit our budget. He responded quickly to emails with answers to all of the questions we had during the weeks leading up to the wedding. José is so thoughtful in his profession - he emailed us asking for our wedding colors so he could add his own flower arrangements to his buffet tables. When I sent him pictures of our gold charger plates, he suggested a very nice plastic disposable plate that had the same gold lining on it. We had my sister make the cake for us, but we forgot to get cake plates. José was prepared with extra dessert plates and jumped right in to fill that need. Thank you José! We had his Santa Maria tri-tip, pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, Texas caviar, crudité platter of fruits and vegetables, and a dessert bar of assorted cheesecakes. The food was buffet style with a beautiful set up. Pretty much all of our guests went back for seconds. We received comments throughout the night on how delicious the food was. José even hand-delivered two plates of food to us, the bride and groom. I ate as much as I could!! I had an amazing dinner on my wedding night. How perfect is that? Because this was a backyard wedding, Jose's crew worked in our home kitchen. We were very comfortable with his crew being in our home. There were all professional, courteous, and dressed professionally. They worked quickly and you hardly noticed them, but every detail was attended to. If we ever need a caterer again, José will be getting a call from us. Thank you José for exceeding our expectations and helping us throw such an awesome party! read more

I hired Chef Jose and Mr. Worldwide Catering for my wedding on May 18, 2014 -- I was the groom -- and we are still getting rave reviews from the nearly 200 guests we had in attendance. Ours was a rustic wedding, at an equestrian center, and we were looking for someone who could do BBQ. We were kind of late in our food search (we didn't start calling caterers until about 60 to 90 days in advance of the big day) but Jose got back to is with a quote that for right into our budget. I was a bit worried at first, as this seemed too easy and too good a match, too good to be true, so we scheduled a tasting. Chef Jose had told me his BBQ was Santa Maria style, which I had had a couple of times -- rare to find in the Los Angeles area -- but it had been a long time. Chef Jose met me at the venue to get the lay of the land, and bring a sample of his tri-tip and a baked chicken. Right after I bit into the tri-tip I was ready to sign on the dotted line. I had to bring some of the samples to my intended, but I was sold on his professionalism, humility and the food, of course. After the fiancée tasted everything, we did actually sign on the dotted line later that night. In the weeks that followed, we made a few requests, related to seasoning and sauce, all of which Jose received without any ego or insult. Honestly, I do a ton of cooking and if someone came and told me to add or subtract some seasonings from one of my signature dished, that I've been making for 20 years, I would be at least a little miffed, and at least talk badly about them after the end of the meal :-) Anyway, Jose received our requests well and delivered on the day of the event. So, anyone reading this probably is asking "Everything was 100% perfect? How often does that happen in life?" So here is the one area that I was disappointed with. Unfortunately we were so busy being the bride and groom that we only got to eat about 6 forkfuls of food. Crap. Literally everyone is calling us to congratulate, telling is how good the cornbread was, how the BBQ sauce was the best they ever had, how there was a spicy and a mild sauce. My grandmother told me the potatoes were perfectly tender and not difficult for her tender teeth to chew. So yes, we are disappointed we didn't get a chance to feast ourselves -- Chef Jose did hand-deliver a plate of fresh, hot chicken to us at the sweetheart table, we just didn't get a chance to eat it -- and now our mission is to get some of our friends to book Mr. Worldwide, so we can sit in the background and grub. read more

Hired Mr. Worldwide for our wedding back in September! Let me tell you, his food was ammaaazzing! He was very attentive and totally worked with our budget. We went with his BBQ menu and everything was perfect! From the amazing creamy, cheesy Mac n cheese to the mouth watering tri-tip! He was worth every penny and more! Thank you so much for being apart of our big day! Definitely will hire him in the future! read more

I cannot say enough about Jose and his team! He just recently catered my wedding and my guests and I were blown away. When we initially went in for our tasting, Jose impressed us with both his BBQ and Mexican menus. We decided on BBQ since our venue was rustic and we are so happy we did. The tri tip, chicken breast and pulled pork were delicious and the sides complemented perfectly. He is professional and it is obvious that he truly loves what he does and has a passion for food and people. Thanks Mr. Worldwide! You made our day one to remember! read more

Jose & the team are awesome. He catered our July 2018 wedding and we received compliments from nearly all our guest on the amazing food. Our entre was the cilantro rice, pinto beans, tequila lime chicken with your choice of two sauces, bread and salad. Little did Jose know that I had already chosen a vendor for my wedding, although I was not satisfied. I read a few of Mr.Worldwide Catering reviews and setup a tasting. Everything was delicious and made it a bit difficult to choose from. We were one thousand percent happy with his catering services and all the personable staff members that assisted at the reception. Don't think twice, you will not regret your decision in choosing Mr. Worldwide Catering for any of your events. read more

I am so impressed with Jose and his team. Our wedding was in March (Chino Hills). He was so responsive and willing to work with you and see your vision. He suggested plates, etc. He is so professional along with his team. I still get compliments on our food at the wedding. Thank you Jose and team. You guys are AMAZING. read more
