Office lunches downtown, tailgates off Wade Avenue, backyard graduations in North Raleigh — Mike Nice rolls into the capital city with thick, handcrafted Puerto Rican empanadas, hot off the press and easy to serve to any crowd.
Use the booking form or call/text (984) 272-2728 with your date, headcount, and Raleigh venue. Mike replies fast — 2–3 days' notice is all it takes for most events.
Choose the Classic Package, Premium Package, or the Fiesta Feast, then mix flavors like Boricua, Pollo Loco, Birria, and Philly Cheesesteak. Vegan Chorizo and dessert empanadas keep every guest covered.
The truck pulls up to your Raleigh venue — or your order arrives packaged and ready to serve — and guests eat thick, handcrafted empanadas hot off the press.
Downtown Raleigh, Glenwood South, North Hills, Five Points, Brier Creek, and the NC State / Hillsborough Street corridor — if it’s inside the Beltline or just past it, the truck has probably already parked there. We cater offices, breweries, apartment communities, and event venues across the city.
Corporate lunch drops, NC State tailgates and student org events, wedding receptions and late-night snacks, brewery pop-ups, festivals, birthday parties, and team celebrations. If Raleigh is hungry, we show up.
Start with the classics — Boricua, Pollo Loco, El Queso — then add premium flavors like Birria, Philly Cheesesteak, and Smoked Mac & Cheese. Round it out with maduros (sweet plantains), cilantro lime rice, house dipping sauces, and dessert empanadas like Peach Cobbler. See the full catering menu.
Send the event form on our booking page, or call/text (984) 272-2728 with your date, headcount, and Raleigh venue. Most events only need 2–3 days' notice, but popular weekends fill up fast.
Both. The truck can park and serve on site at most Raleigh venues, offices, and neighborhoods, or we can prep packaged catering — empanadas by the dozen with half-pan and full-pan sides — ready to serve. Tell us what fits your event when you book.
All the time. The truck regularly serves the NC State and Hillsborough Street corridor, downtown offices, and Glenwood South — tailgates, club events, lunch drops, and after-work socials. Send your date and headcount and we’ll take it from there.
Mike Nice is rooted in Puerto Rican tradition — thick, handcrafted empanadas pressed to order, plus Boricua beef, sweet plantains (maduros), Spanish rice and beans, and house sauces. We fuse those roots with American and Soul Food flavors Raleigh crowds love.
