Our story
A Cebu kitchen since 1990
Ma. Lina Catering Services started small, selling snack items to offices and catering small office functions. From there we grew into birthdays, house blessings and weddings, and then larger corporate and government events.
How we grew
By changing with what Cebu needed from us, and keeping food affordable without cutting the serving.
- 1990
- Officially registered as a single proprietor business, with two employees doing one or two catering functions a month.
- 150+
- Employees today, from our cooks to the teams who serve and deliver.
- 30+
- Catering functions we can handle at the same time on a single day.
- 2
- Branches: our main kitchen on F. Llamas Street in Cebu City, and our Bogo City branch in northern Cebu.
Mama Susing's recipe is still in every empanada
Our empanada comes from the original recipe of our late Mama Susing. We have been frying it for more than 30 years, fresh every day, and every batch is still made her way.
Quality, quantity and value
It is the promise we have kept from the start: good food, generous servings, and prices that work for Cebuano families and businesses.
That promise is how Ma. Lina earned its name in Cebu, along with numerous national awards for our catering.
