Divine Decadence Catering

Upon trying one of Chef Lorena’s fruit tres de leche cakes at a friend’s get together, I knew I had to have the same cake for my boyfriend’s birthday party. Lorena delivered exactly what I expected — an astounding cake that disappeared without a trace! She kept in contact the entire time, ensured a timely delivery, and produced a high quality product. I truly couldn’t have asked for anything better. I will definitely seek her assistance again!

Divine Decadence catered my wedding 2 weeks ago and I could not have been happier! Lorena is such an amazing down to earth person to work with that she always eased my mind and went above and beyond to make my wedding/​food amazing! We had 200 people and poor Lorena had to cook on a stove top only as the oven broke very shortly after they started cooking! There was no delay and more than enough food to keep the people happy. I have no idea how she did it but that just goes to show how amazing she and her staff were.
We had Asian Fusion food and Lorena hit the nail on the head. My husbands family is Vietnamese and she used Vietnamese influence in the dishes that she prepared. They loved it. My favorite was the beef skewers with the soy sake glaze. I couldn’t get enough! Everything was so delicious!
I HIGHLY recommend use Divine Decadence to cater your event. I know that whenever I need a caterer in the future, I will definitely be calling Lorena!

Another amazing meal prepared by Lorena! Whenever I have special occasion always want to treat ourselves by having Lorena prepare a special meal for us. Can’t praise her enough for food and professionalism. This is my second time having her and she’s such a down to earth chef whose love of food clearly shows in her food! I will continue to keep using Lorena for future events because her food is just simply amazing!

Last night my boyfriend surprised me with another dinner prepared by chef Lorena & what a treat it was!
Our meal began with an octopus-​based appetizer per my boyfriend’s newest seafood obsession. We were presented with a beautifully plated combination of octopus, mandarin orange sections, & avocado wedges. It was a well balanced meal that truly tasted as delicious as it looked (it was gorgeous!)!
Next we enjoyed my favorite salad ever (hear me rave all about it in my original post). Long story short, this second time around did NOT disappoint. Our main course was a truffle-​orzo pasta topped with tomato & chicken goodness. It was a simple yet tasty dish that kept us warm on one of the OC’s colder nights!
Our meal could not have ended on a sweeter note! Chef Lorena prepared a most amazing chocolate cake with raspberry crème anglaise that I savored from the very first to the very last bite. This dessert is every chocolate-lover’s dream come true: sweet chocolate cake with warm chocolatey fudginess in the center & topped off with a light raspberry cream & fresh raspberries (just enough to add a special fruity touch to this dessert)! O what very little justice my words do to capture the beauty of this dessert. It was A-​MAZING!!! As is always the case with Chef Lorena’s desserts, my only complaint is that there wasn’t more!!!
Thank you again for preparing a delicious meal through & through, chef Lorena!!!

Lorena would like you to look at only the filtered good reviews, because she doesn’t like the truth. Truth is, she failed to do what was promised, and I had to pay $ 150 fine because of it. She refuses to pay the fine or even return the $ 100 tip I paid her before I found out she didn’t rinse the dishes as promised.

Divine Decadence is ran by Lorena an energetic entrepreneur with a generous amount of exuberance and efficiency! Lorena makes it look easy. She delightfully throws in a huge amount of passion, skill and amazingly deliciousness into ALL aspects of the business in personable catering, and event planning.
Lorena is a true professional with a great spirit of adventure in catering!
I can fondly, and proudly share that I have had the great fortune in being a guest in attendance at several celebratory exciting occasions to which Lorena has catered! ;)

I recently had Lorena cater my 75^th birthday. The food from appetizers to dessert were excellent, she even made the chocholate truffles for desert. The presentations of the appetizers was unique and enhanced the food. Her crew, including servers, bar tender and assistant chief were attentive, professional and helped to enhance the evening. I was delighted to find her through recommendations I found on Unilocal and would like to pass on my heartiest recommendations to those looking for a young creative and delightful caterer.

I rarely write Unilocal reviews, especially positive ones. I, however, was compelled to do so after sampling Chef Lorena Castro’s creations at a baby shower recently. All of the standard baby shower finger foods were presented with a healthier and refreshing twist. I was so impressed with the superior food and service that I plan to hire Lorena for my upcoming corporate conference. Thanks Lorena!

Lorena is an amazing chef. She is also a very sweet person. I highly recommend Divine Decadence. A friend of mine in Orange County has Lorena host all of his parties. The food is always excellent.
