    Chef Piñeiro Delivers Culinary Magic at Our Puerto Rican Wedding!

    Our wedding in Puerto Rico was a celebration of love, family, and unforgettable flavors, thanks to the culinary genius of Chef Piñeiro and his remarkable team. From the moment we embarked on our journey to plan our special day, we knew that extraordinary food would be a cornerstone of our celebration. After a tasting experience in November 2023 that left us absolutely speechless, we were certain we had found the perfect chef to bring our vision to life.

    Chef Piñeiro's passion for his craft is evident in every dish he creates. We knew that if we were bringing all our guests to Puerto Rico for our wedding, we didn't want basic wedding food that no one would remember. And Chef Piñeiro delivered beyond our wildest dreams. Under the guidance of Evelyn and the entire staff, Chef Piñeiro knocked it out of the park, crafting a culinary experience that left our guests raving for days.

    The cocktail hour spread was nothing short of spectacular, with an array of delectable bites that had everyone's taste buds singing. But the real showstopper was the full display of the roasted pig, a centerpiece that was as visually stunning as it was mouthwateringly delicious. Every bite was a celebration of flavor, and our guests couldn't get enough. From the first taste to the last, they were licking their plates and begging for more.

    Our wedding guests were truly shocked by how amazing everything tasted. Chef Piñeiro's attention to detail and commitment to using the freshest, highest quality ingredients shone through in every dish, making our wedding meal an experience to remember. Many of our guests even went so far as to say it was the best meal they had ever had.

    We are eternally grateful to Chef Piñeiro and his team for creating such a magical culinary experience for our wedding day. Their talent, dedication, and creativity elevated our celebration to new heights, and we will forever cherish the memories of that incredible meal.

    If you're looking for a chef who will go above and beyond to create an unforgettable culinary experience for your special day, look no further than Chef Piñeiro. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

    Thank you, Chef Piñeiro, for making our wedding day absolutely delicious in every way possible!

    Chef Piñeiro - Mesa 364's reply:

    Wao! Kristen thanks a lot for your words it remembers us that all the hard work and passion with put in our food and service is definitely worth it! Thanks for giving us the opportunity of serving you guys in such important celebration, we wish you a lot of blessings and good things for both! God bless you!

    Chef pinero

    We organized a wedding at Hacienda Siesta Alegre without having a wedding planner so we had to find all of our vendors. I highly recommend chef pinero. My family are foodies and know about good food! They could not stop raving about how delicious the food was at the wedding. It can be hard pleasing both sides of the families taste when you have a multicultural wedding - but everyone was pleasantly pleased at the end. Evelyn was always so responsive to emails. The whole staff was so professional. 100% the best!!!

    Amazing food, a must hire!

    Chef Piñeiro and his team were amazing, and the food was incredible. We had a destination wedding in PR, so not many of our guests had had Puerto Rican food before. Chef pulled out all the stops and served 3 amazing courses that everybody absolutely loved. I had people tell me days later that they were amazed by how perfectly cooked every steak was, and how seamlessly the team navigated our guests’ dietary restrictions. A few weeks before the wedding we requested a change to our ‘late night snack’ option, and the team was super responsive and flexible. Could not recommend Chef Piñeiro and his team highly enough.

    This dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary!

    Wow, where do I begin with this incredible experience? Throughout the event, numerous guests approached me to express how this was the best meal they've ever had. From the delectable starters to the delicious soup, salad, and main course, every dish was a culinary masterpiece. It was pouring rain, but that didn't stop the food from being served piping hot. The teamwork and coordination among the staff were truly breathtaking, as they flawlessly delivered each plate. The service was top-notch, from the initial email correspondence to the tasting session. And to top it all off, we were fortunate enough to meet the renowned chef Piñeiro in person!

    Just Amazing

    Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was! We opted for appetizers and paella and the service was both incredible and kind. The wait staff was amazing!! The food presentation and the paella were so elegant and laid back at the same time. What an amazing chef! I don't think you should consider anyone else :)

    Incredible food, exceptional service, extraordinary professionalism!

    I cannot recommend Enrique and his team enough! Our guests loved the Puerto Rican menu, and the catering staff could not have been more attentive. Communication was excellent and clear, and Enrique was able to accommodate special requests including a delicious dessert bar that our guests raved about. The buffet was attractive, easy to navigate, and most importantly delicious. Hire this team!!

    Delicious & incredible

    Mesa 364 and Chef Piñeiro exceeded our expectations. We got married in Puerto Rico in honor of my husband’s culture and because PR is just beautiful. It was very important to us to highlight all the wonderful aspects of the island, and since we love food, we wanted to make sure our guests, since many were traveling from outside, would enjoy some delicious Puerto Rican cuisine. I was so nervous because many times I have been to weddings with very mediocre food, but to this day all my family and friends talk about how delicious our food was. The food, the service, the attention to detail, everything was incredible. I truly recommend working with them for your weddings and other events!

    Aguada Wedding

    Chef Piñeiro and the Mesa 364 were the stars of our wedding! From the beginning of our communication, Eveylen with the Mesa 364 team was extremely responsive and helpful. With her responsiveness, we were able to very easily plan from New York all of the food for our 75 person wedding.
    Luckily, the Mesa 364 team was also able to travel all the way across the island to Aguada from San Juan. On the big day the whole team was incredibly profession, efficient, timely and clean. Chef Piñeiro and his whole staff were so kind and personable yet efficient and impressive. The food tasted unbelievable and looked so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Our guests are STILL talking about the food almost a month later. One of our guests is a professionally trained chef in New York and snuck a glimpse in the kitchen and was so impressed by how amazing the prep work and care that went into every single plate that made it to our guests tables. Our whole wedding can say that we are Chef Piñeiro and Mesa 364’s newest and biggest fans!

    An Amazing Experience!

    What a superb culinary experience! From the beginning of the planning process we were impressed by the Chef’s selection, his event coordinator (Evelyn, you rock!), the catering coordinator, and the response time to our inquiries. The Chef and his staff were on top of everything at the venue. The food was great, plentiful, and delicious. We can’t say enough about how impressed the guests were with the selection of local fare (they had seconds and thirds!) 500% recommended!

    If you don't want typical wedding food, book them!

    Amazing to work with. Evelyn is a gem and everything I wanted was executed perfectly. Everyone is still talking about the apps and the traditional food was so different and filling. I am obsessed with food and that was number one requirement that be absolutely top notch. Book them. You won't regret it!

    The Absolute Best!

    Most of our guests came from the mainland so it was important for us to provide them with a uniquely Puerto Rican experience, but with the class and artistry of an amazing Chef. Chef Piñeiro and his team were professional, attentive, personable and overwhelming kind to all of our guests. And the food! Anyone who knows us knows that the kitchen is central to our lives and that food plays an integral role in our style of entertaining. Chef Piñeiro complemented that feeling and elevated it beyond what we thought were possible, taking traditional Puerto Rican cuisine and reimagining it into something even more beautiful and indescribably delicious! While there were several elements of the wedding that the guests commented on, the food was the one thing they all came back to repeatedly in that “I need to hold onto something while this moment passes” kind of way. Thank you for helping us make our wedding the cultural experience that it was and for the outstanding service!

    Unforgettable Wedding Food That Everyone Will Rave About

    We hired Mesa 364 for our destination wedding catering and were absolutely blown away by just how delicious all of our food was on our wedding day.


    Since we don’t live in Puerto Rico, we booked everything without ever tasting the food, and knew that Mesa 364 would deliver. My husband is a big foodie and has worked in the industry for over 10 years, so having great food was something we really wanted for our guests at our wedding. Throughout the planning process, They were easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make our menu meaningful to us and something everyone would enjoy. At the wedding, they made sure my husband and I enjoyed plenty of the delicious and expertly crafted food by offering table service to us even though we had a buffet for guests. Pretty much every single one of our guests cannot stop raving about how delicious the food was, saying it was the best wedding food they have ever experienced, and we completely agree. It’s difficult to create a five star dining experience for a large group of people, but Mesa 364 did it with ease and excellent service. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made throughout the planning process. They truly are the best!

    Chef Pineiro and his team were excellent!! The food was incredible, and the guests raved about the appetizers and their meals. They were highly attentive, and throughout the night, they made sure to let my husband and I know what was going to be happening next. Communication prior to the wedding was always prompt and courteous. We are more than happy with our decision to hire Chef Pineiro and his team for our wedding!!

    Delicious and wonderful!

    Words can't even begin to describe how amazing the food and service was by Chef Piñeiro - Mesa 364! First, the service. As the bride and groom, we were met right after walking down the aisle after the wedding with appetizers and drinks. How amazing that was! Our server, Juan Pablo, kept finding us while we were getting photos taken and would bring all the appetizers and drinks. Then when we sat down, he had our own beautiful assortment of all the appetizers served that day. We had a buffet, but the server brought us our food and took care of us the whole night. We had new drinks in our hands before we even had to think about asking for them! The guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was! Our buffet included paella, salad, chicken, a few more sides and the roasted pig. That is a must because the experience of that in itself is so cool! By the time got to check out the buffet, the head was the only thing left. This was worth every penny and I would choose them all over again!

    Extraordinarily Exquisite, Delicious Cuisine!!!

    Chef Piñeiro with Mesa 364 was PHENOMENAL and exceeded every expectations on the day of the wedding ranging from the beautiful presentation, delectable taste, and exceptional service to everyone! I am so ecstatic that our Planner Rosalina (Momentus) recommended Chef Piñeiro! Our guests (both local and nonlocal to Puerto Rico) LOVED the exhilarating food, from the appetizers, to the soup, salad, to the plated entrees (we had filet mignon with lobster, Roasted Chicken, and Saute Salmon options). We received so many compliments on the delicious food and hospitality. Even days after the wedding, we are still receiving so many commendations! Definitely have to give a shout out to Juan Pablo: our very own personal server who really took great care of me and the groom, ensuring we had food and drinks during cocktail and the reception. THANK YOU JUAN PABLO!

    In the planning phase, Evelyn assisted and was wonderful, professional, and courteous! Very quick to respond and was so flexible with our requests even leading up to the wedding. They have so many options and they are all GREAT and of globally-inspired variety. Everyone thought it was such a perfect combination! Thank you so much for the delightful experience MESA 364!!!!!

    My local guest were Starstruck!

    Chef Piñeiro and his guys were amazing!! The food was delicious and my guest went on and on about everything they ate. The whole roasted pig was beautiful and delicious-guest were raving about the skin! The appetizers were a big hit too. The tiny tacos were my personal favorite, but everything was great!
    Our waiter, Juan-the most thoughtful and amazing server anyone could ask for. He brought me appetizers and a drink during the cocktail hour while we were taking our pictures. He got our dinner and he served us before we could even ask for something-like he could read our minds! Very attentive!

    Chef Piñeiro is a local celebrity chef on the island and all the local ladies were going crazy when they saw him! He was nice enough to take pictures with us!

    Thank you guys for the delicious food and amazing service!!

    The food was delicious and plentiful. The vendor and all the people associated with this company were so cooperative and during Covid we had to move our occasion three times. They couldn’t have been more understanding and helpful. We love chef Pineiro.

    Delicious food!

    We had a great time working with Mesa 364. I married a chef, we had many chefs attending the ceremony, and all our guests said it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. The staff was professional, saved appetizers for us during the busy cocktail hour, and brought us plates from the buffet so we could enjoy our meals before mingling and talking to our guests. I was nervous about having a whole roasted pig at our wedding, but it was absolutely delicious and the favorite dish of almost everyone, with most people getting seconds. We hired this vendor based on reviews (we had a destination wedding & couldn’t taste the food in advance) & they exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend!

    We cannot say enough good things about the incredible food that was served at our wedding. Guests came up to us all night long raving about the appetizers, main dishes and desserts. Was beyond our wildest expectations, 100 percent with every single penny. You can taste and feel the love that goes into each unique and incredible dish!

    I have to say at first I was taken aback by the price of a catered meal for my opening reception, but low and behold I didn't know I would get a better meal that on my wedding night. Chef Pineiro is the best chef on the island. Easily one of the most delicious meals I have ever had in my life. A chef who knows how to make food from the island come alive for people with an unfamiliar pallet. Based on reading the other reviews I think the chef has taken feedback seriously. We had everything included and did not have to worry about plates, napkins, cups or anything. He also took credit cards which can be a pain with other vendors on the island. Over all the vendors I used for my wedding this was easily the best choice we made.
