I am Chef Marcelino Rancaño IV, a skilled professional in Event Catering and Customized Meal preparation for more than 15 years. My experience as a Banquet Chef in a Luxury 5 Star Resort has given me an extensive knowledge on various cuisines.
My Latin roots influence my style of cooking, which is why I specialize in Latin Cuisine. I was born in Cuba and raised in Puerto Rico. Moreover, I enjoyed living in Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela and learned their culinary traditions. However, I also take interest in showcasing my skills in Italian, Barbecue, and American Cuisine. The possibilities are infinite.
To achieve a successful event, we believe it's all about delivering creativity, efficiency, passion, and precision. Our Catering Division at Rafiki Tiki Bar & Grill carefully considers these key components for every event, treating each occasion with the utmost care for our clients. As a Chef, I always aim for excellence, cooking each meal as if it were for my own family.
Thank you for showing interest in our Profile!

Marcelino catered the memorial service for our cherished mother, sparing us the task of preparing a luncheon for a hundred guests. He took responsibility for everything, arriving early, staying on-site, and tidying up afterwards. The quality of the cuisine surpassed our expectations - fresh, stunning, and scrumptious! The presentation was also impressive! Marcelino alleviated the stress of a challenging day for my family and I. I would unhesitatingly endorse and employ his services again. Simply put, he was amazing!
Warmly,
