I can't recommend Casa Nova Custom Catering highly enough!…read more Their food is incredible, planning together was a great experience, and their team at the event were extremely nice and professional. All of our guests loved their meals, and CNCC made sure everything ran smoothly so that it was easy to relax and have fun. They went above and beyond to accommodate all requests, even up to the last moment. Thank you, Eduardo & Joaquin!

Horrible experience with this company. High priced. Small portions…read more Invoiced me with same price for items I had order. When came to deliver order they removed one of the items which I had paid for on the original invoice. They brought the item and said it wasn't paid for and took it back. I had paid in full. They didn't seem to know what they were talking about between each other. Bad phone communication. The gal on the phone wouldn't let me get a word in and argued the whole time. They agreed to bring the product back but only after I offered to repay for it because I needed it for the amount of guests I was having. So disappointed

If you want the best pies in town, or the best enchilada casseroles, or the best chile rellenos, or…read morethe best posole, or the best tamales, call Josie's. She used to run a lunch spot, now it's catering only. Her pie pastry is out of this world, & she uses locally grown apricots. Not too sweet. Perfection. And that's just one of her specialties. I am reluctant to put out the word cause I'm afraid of a run on her goodies. Whenever I pick up something from her, I feel like I go back in time--to the way things used to be--in old Santa Fe.

Let me just start by saying that 5 stars are not nearly enough! My mom wanted to celebrate her…read morebirthday in Taos with her closest friends and my sister and I wanted to throw her a special dinner to celebrate. We came across Chef Kualani's page and I am endlessly grateful that we did because the entire process could not have been more perfect. From the very beginning, Kualani was incredibly warm, communicative, and endlessly accommodating. She was open to any requests we had but also came up with the most unbelievable seasonal menu for the dinner (because I had no idea where to start). Dealing with her was a pleasure each and every time and she helped me go through all the details so that nothing was forgotten. And the dinner.... THE DINNER. The food was absolutely incredible. I'm still thinking about her spring pea soup with truffle oil. Every course was fantastic. But Kualani is not just a chef, she is a true hostess. She and her partner Richard came into our AirBnb and handled literally EVERYTHING. She brought beautiful plates and flatware so we didn't have to rely on the AirBnb's stash. She decorated the table. She even made my niece a grilled cheese sandwich while she was prepping. And then, at the end of one of the best meals of my life, they cleaned everything up and left the kitchen better than they found it. Having worked in restaurants and catering for many years, I know first-hand that chefs are not always hospitable. It is a completely different skill set and it's the reason restaurants need a front-of-house staff. But Kualani is the rare exception that is truly capable of curating a perfect evening. She has the most amazing energy and could not have been happier with our entire experience. The dinner absolutely made my mother's birthday and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Too bad since I do these retreats 4x a year. I did reach out and give them feedback thinking maybe they would want my business in future by offering to make it right. But nothing was offered.

Hue-Chan and her team catered our wedding dinner, and honestly, it couldn't have gone any better…read more Unlike some other caterers, Hue-Chan's cooking isn't limited to a small menu of same old, same old items--you, know.... prime rib, salmon, etc. We presented her with a pie-in-the-sky wishlist of Central Vietnamese dishes and she not only took it in stride (offering thoughtful suggestions that tamed our over-ambitious lineup into a workable menu) but also knocked it out of the park when it came to execution. The dinner involved both pre-prepared dishes and items that were cooked to order live on-site, which delighted our guests and also ensured that everything was served with ideal freshness. The entire team was a joy to work with; they arrived on time, set up discreetly, and their friendliness shone through when they were cooking and serving our guests. The flavors were spot on, evoking our time living in Da Nang, and really helped make our special day even more special. Communication throughout the process was perfectly professional. Ultimately, beyond the quality of the food and the professionalism of the staff, what really stuck out to us was how dedicated Hue-Chan was to ensuring that we were taken care of, so that we weren't distracted from enjoying the big day.

8/9 pounds of Steel Head Trout = GIGI is a HAPPY GIRL!…read more My sister had her rehearsal dinner catered by Peas N Pod and it was FABULOUS... That is, when the food was FINALLY SERVED! There were about 60 or so people at this dinner, which was served buffet style, and we had SO MANY LEFT OVERS... I had trout for breakfast, lunch, 4 pm snack and dinner for about 3 days in a row after the rehearsal dinner! AH HA HA! I am NOT complaining! It was cooked to perfection! PERRRRRFECTION! **The fish was so good that two of my friends and I went into the kitchen when no one was looking and ATE 1/2 a fish when no one was looking... We looked like DOGS, but it was THAT GOOD!** We also used Peas N Pod catering the Sunday after the wedding for breakfast, which everyone enjoyed A LOT as well! I definitely recommend Peas N Pod to anyone looking to cater a big or small event! Food we had catered for Rehearsal Dinner: - Grilled Steelhead Trout - Salad - Chicken Mole - Some extremely rich CHEESE DISH - Asparagus Food we had catered for Breakfast: - Smoked Salmon - Bagels - Muffins - Pastries - Sausage - Fruit

The venue was fabulous but many in the group were disappointed in the food. Presentation is 5 stars, variety and choices were good but everything was super spicy, lots of pepper in everything, and the ingredients were questionable since several in our party ended up with bad reactions to the food. They claim to use all organic and locally produced food but this is doubtful as the oils were questionable and unfortunately most of the foods bathed in oil. Personally, I had to stop eating the food because I was getting strong reactions to it so I ended up eating off the premises. If you're not too particular about your food and don't have food sensitivities, this company might work for you, they do put on a good food display.

Masterpiece catered our wedding at Blame Her Ranch in June 2025 and they did an incredible job…read more Multiple people came up to me to comment on how surprised they were because "wedding food isn't usually *good* but this food is delicious!" We did a tasting back in February and everything we had was incredible. I'm a pescetarian so our meal was a burrata salad, corn puddin' (I died and went to heaven when I ate this), eggplant parmesan, and salmon with roasted veggies. For passed appetizers we had watermelon and mozzarella sticks and bourbon glazed meatballs. Then for a late night snack they made hatch green chile mac and cheese (I ate about a pound of the leftovers the next day they were so good) and green chile sliders. When I say truly EVERYTHING was delicious I mean it. Also, their customer service was phenomenal. They arrived on time, made everything fresh, constantly checked in on us, and even helped us set up our tables. We rented dishes and they were sure to collect everything and put it away for pickup appropriately. You're absolutely in good hands if you book them!

This review is strictly for the Santa Fe Opera picnic boxes. This has no bearing on anything else…read morethey might do, particularly anything full-service. And I'll start with the positives--the bison steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare and held up well while cold. However, everything else about that picnic box was somewhere from disappointing to bad. The cold somen noodles were gummy and stuck together, and I've quite literally had better on an airplane. The poached spinach was underseasoned. The "Japanese pickles" were inexplicably pepperocinis, which have nothing Japanese about them. The raw spinach leaves were just there. And it cost $35 but I've made the same (minus the meat) for under $5.
