Our
Story...
Welcome to Carmelita Catering Co., where passion for food and love brought us together. We started our journey in California after Jeremy retired from the Marines. In 2019, we moved to Northwest Arkansas, bringing with us our shared love for delicious, homemade food and the dream of creating unforgettable culinary experiences.
Our story began on 11/11/11 when we met, and shortly after, we tied the knot in our front yard, surrounded by close friends and family. Our wedding was a testament to our love and shared appreciation for good food and great people. The food, especially the salsas and carnitas, left a lasting impression on our guests that, to this day, we still sit and reminisce about the flavors.
