“Chef Joel is wonderful! He catered our retirement/Bon Voyáge party with delicious paella, empanadas, and arroz con pollo.”

“Chef Joel catered my birthday party and everyone was BLOWN away by how delicious the food was! He was extremely prepared, a total professional, he helped clean up and set up extra decor, packaged the food and cleaned up at the end of the night, and was such a delight to be around; he thought of everything!! I could go on and on about how amazing the food was — the chicken melted off the bone, the rice and veggies so delicious, the Cuban sandwich amazing. He was incredible and so fun and such a personality! You HAVE to book Joel for your next party! Thank you Chef!!”

“Five stars all around! I recently used Chef Joel and his team this past Saturday to cater for my sister's Sweet 16 and I have nothing but great things to say. Yinet was our point of contact from the moment I inquired about their services up until even after the event. She was soo sweet and so so helpful throughout the entire process. Everyone raved about how delicious the food was and how sweet and attentive they were throughout the entire event. We will definitely be using Chef Joel again for future events. Thank you so much Yinet for everything!”

“We used Chef Joel's catering service for our baby shower and it was a total success. Everyone loved the food. The pork was juicy and tender, and the empanadas and croquetas were delicious! He even stayed a bit to help us set up. The food arrived warm and in excellent presentation. We'll surely continue to be long time customers. Best Cuban food in all of Georgia!”

“A chef is an artist, just like musicians. It’s art — creating recipes, creating food. When a musician creates music, he’s not thinking about money; he’s thinking about music. And when his customer feels the music and he feels that connection, it’s the same thing with chefs. When we create recipes and feel how the customer’s feeling and see their face, it’s what we love. It’s the fire.”
Like Chef Joel, his wife Yinet is a Cuba native and has 2.5 years of formal training as a waitress.
“We serve with love; that’s our secret recipe,” Yinet says. “This restaurant, for us, is a way that we can share our passion with the community. We’ve been in the food industry for many, many years and it’s part of our life. That’s what we love to do: serve people and make them happy with our service and with our food.”
We want to help Cuban cuisine grow in Georgia — to bring a little piece of Miami to here. And we’d love for you to join us.
