We recently hired the Rican Redneck to cater an event at our company for a special Puerto Rico celebration! They had great reviews, their pricing was very reasonable so we went for it. The food was a hit! They delivered on time on 2 different days and 2 locations the first day! Nandy is a pleasure to work with; very nice and extremely professional. All containers were clearly marked and ensured he had the right containers for each of our locations. We tried the Pork, Rice, Yuca and the Beef Empanadas. There were other options on the menu but we stayed with the Puerto Rican options to align with our celebration and the food did not disappoint. If you are looking for a great Puerto Rican food option or a mix of some southern food with it, they have a great menu and the Puerto Rican options are amazing. I asked a co-worker how the food was compared to her family's food and she said it was excellent!

Thank you, Nandy, for your amazing food and your professionalism. It was a pleasure to meet you and work with you!

We recently hired Rican Redneck for drop-off service at our daughter’s quinceañera, and WOW—what an incredible experience! Every dish was bursting with authentic Puerto Rican flavor, and our guests are still talking about how amazing everything tasted!

The arroz con gandules was perfectly seasoned, fluffy, and rich with flavor. The pernil and baked chicken had everyone raving.
You could tell the team put love and pride into every tray. The portions were generous, and everything was clearly labeled and ready to serve, making the whole process stress-free.

What really stood out was how this meal brought people together—it wasn’t just food, it was home. It felt like a celebration of our culture, and it added so much warmth and authenticity to the quinceañera.

If you're looking for Puerto Rican catering that delivers both flavor and heart, Rican Redneck is it. Professional, reliable, and absolutely delicious. They helped make our daughter’s special day even more memorable.

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of enjoying The Rican Redneck’s delicious Puerto Rican food at several family events, and it never disappoints! The flavors are always on point, and every dish gets rave reviews. Without fail, someone always asks, “Who catered this food?”

The Rican Redneck has truly become like family to us. We especially love the chicharrón de pollo, the mouthwatering carne frita, and the perfectly seasoned pernil. Nandy is amazing—he always remembers to make tostones for our little guy, which means so much to us!

Whether it’s at a family gathering or straight from the food truck, we’re always excited to grab a plate and enjoy the great food and even better company. If you’re ever in town, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won’t be disappointed! 😊

My family used the Rican Redneck for catering several times, with just recently for a wedding and we have never been disappointed! The food is always authentic, prepared fresh & delivered hot. The standout dishes to me is the pernil, empanadas, arroz con gandules & the chicken which took me by surprise! That chicken was incredible & seasoned like nothing I've had before! They are professional & operate in excellence, I highly recommend this business!

We have used The Rican Redneck's catering for several family and church events and they have excelled every single time. It's not easy to cater for old school Puerto Ricans who know the authentic, traditional flavors of our food, so believe me when I say their food is absolutely amazing! They do not disappoint in any way, and are the most pleasant people to work with. I am pleased to leave them my 5-Star review.

We had the pleasure of working with Rican Redneck for our ML Parent Night, and the experience was exceptional! The food was warm, flavorful, and delivered right on time, making the event even more special for our families. Their professionalism and quality service truly stood out. Plus, knowing they are an approved vendor for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools gives us confidence in recommending them for future events. Highly recommend!

The best catering in town!
