caterers
Our journey began in college, where our shared passions and entrepreneurial spirits brought them together. Today, we are proud parents to three children- Kailani, CJ and Mila, who inspire them to build a business that values family above all.
With Angee’s culinary expertise and Christian’s business acumen, they’ve created a catering experience that blends authenticity, hospitality, and a deep love for Spanish cuisine.
The dream team behind Mestizo Paella
Angee &
Christian
Our business was born from a love of family, culture, and the joy of sharing incredible food. In the summer of 2018, as we planned our daughter's first birthday, we chose to celebrate in a way that honored our heritage — by perfecting Christian's father’s cherished paella recipe.
That summer, we dedicated ourselves to refining and scaling the recipe to serve over 80 guests, creating a dish that was more than just a meal—it was an experience.
Christian’s father spent decades crafting his unique paella, a recipe deeply rooted in their family’s Spanish heritage. Growing up in Madrid, he mastered the art of paella-making from generations before him, infusing tradition, passion, and authenticity into every bite. The overwhelming response from friends and family inspired us to share our paella beyond our own table.
What began as a labor of love soon transformed into Mestizo Paella, a catering service dedicated to bringing people together through the flavors of Spain.

A word that embodies the blending of traditions, flavors, and identities. It represents Christian’s own mixed Spanish and Filipino heritage and the way cultures come together to create something unique. For us, this is more than just food; it’s a reflection of family, legacy, and the beauty of cultural fusion.

A Fusion of Cultures
We had Mestizo Paella cater our wedding and was it a hit amongst the 100+ guests we had. It was a perfect blend of Filipino and Spanish cooking, and the food was absolutely delicious. Angee and Christian are the most delightful people as well. From the sangria, to the tapas, to the main course of paella, everything was phenomenal.
"everything was phenomenal"
We had our summer afternoon party catered by Mestizo Paella. The food, service and everything was exceptional. Their appetizers were also delicious and unique. The cooking demonstration of Paella making was fun. We have a backyard party of over 60 people and plenty of food left over. I highly recommend Angee and Christian to cater your event.
"delicious and unique"
Where do I start?! First off, Angie and Christian were beyond amazing to work with. Friendly, accommodating, flexible, and professional! They bring an exceptional talent and passion to their cooking and it absolutely shows in every dish they make. My wife and I lost count of how many guests at our wedding complimented their delicious Paella! We loved that they were local and that the cooking was authentic and personal. As an added plus, Angie was a wedding planner so she had a great ability to integrate her catering service into our wedding in a seamless manner. Thanks so much Angie and Christian for catering our wedding! You both made it so special!! Highly recommend.
