La Cocina Latin Bistro & Catering

We used La Cocina as our wedding caterer and they were wonderful! Norberto was very easy to work with, replied promptly, easily accommodated for dietary preferences, and the food was delicious! He was able to accommodate a last minute tasting for us while we were in town which was very kind of him to do. Our guests had only positive things to say so I would recommend them!

La Cocina catered my January 2025 wedding -- it was EXCELLENT!

Reaching out to Norberto and John via email was a quick and easy process and we were able to set up a tasting at one of their restaurant locations. The tasting itself was incredible -- from the food to the service -- and we were immediately sold.

Norberto is incredibly professional, and a very talented chef. La Cocina was great also because they are very flexible with their menus -- we were able to specifically request certain dishes that we liked and didn't have to stick with a set/pre-existing menu for our wedding. In addition, it was very easy to accommodate any food sensitivities, allergies, dietary restrictions, etc. for our wedding. Also, they were excited and eager to provide us with some late night snacks, that were incredibly tasty!!

The day of the wedding, people raved about the food. Some said it was the best wedding food they've had -- and I've got some major foodies in my family :) The dinner meals and the cocktail hour appetizers were absolutely delicious!!!!

During the event, John was very attentive to my husband and I's tastes and ensured we had plenty of leftovers boxed up to enjoy later. The leftovers definitely held up, too! We are still eating them 3 days later :)

Throughout this process, I have become a huge fan of Norberto, John, and team and will continue to visit their restaurants in town for as long as they remain in St. Augustine!! Their service, professionalism, and culinary skills are exquisite and I would not hesitate to recommend them for any future event.

Thank you Norberto & John!

We can’t say enough about our experience with Norberto and his team. From our first tasting over a year ago to our wedding day, they went above and beyond in every way. Norberto was incredibly down-to-earth and personable—he treated us like people, not just another client or transaction. The care he put into each detail was evident, and his commitment to making our day special meant the world to us. Every member of his staff mirrored his kindness, warmth, and professionalism.

The food was simply outstanding. Guests are still raving about it, and we’re already planning to go back to the restaurant soon! Thank you to Norberto and his amazing team for making our wedding day unforgettable.
