Chefaricas – Live Paella & Catering

Guests can expect fresh, flavorful food, professional presentation, and attentive service from start to finish. For our live paella experience, we arrive on-site, set up our cooking station, and prepare the paella fresh in front of your guests, making the cooking itself part of the celebration.

Depending on the event, we can also provide customized catering menus, buffet service, brunch, pasta and Asian stations, charcuterie, desserts, mocktails, and other specialty options.

We arrive prepared with the equipment needed for our service and coordinate the setup and timing with the client so the food is ready when expected. Whether it's an intimate gathering, wedding, birthday, corporate event, or large celebration, our goal is to make the food one of the highlights of the event.

With Chefaricas, guests don't just enjoy a great meal — they enjoy the experience of seeing it come together.

With more than 30 years of culinary experience, Chefaricas brings professional catering and memorable live cooking experiences to events throughout South Florida.

We specialize in authentic paellas prepared fresh and cooked live at your event, turning the meal into part of the celebration. Our catering services also include customized menus, brunch, pasta and Asian stations, charcuterie, desserts, mocktails, corporate catering, and much more.

From intimate gatherings to weddings, birthdays, corporate events, and large celebrations, our goal is to provide delicious food, professional service, beautiful presentation, and an experience your guests will remember.

We proudly serve Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County. Every event is different, and we work with our clients to create a menu that fits their celebration, guest count, and style.

At Chefaricas, we don't just serve food — we create the experience.

For our live paella service, we require a safe, level outdoor cooking area with enough space for our cooking equipment and setup. We normally bring our own professional paella cooking equipment and a 10' x 10' canopy when needed.

We typically arrive approximately 1.5–2 hours before serving time for setup and preparation.

Access to the event location for unloading and loading equipment is required. Depending on the selected catering service, access to electricity and/or water may also be needed.

For indoor or venue events, clients should confirm any cooking, fire-safety, or venue restrictions in advance. We follow appropriate safety procedures and use required fire-protection equipment for our cooking setup.

Specific requirements may vary depending on the menu, number of guests, and event location.
