They provided a light breakfast, lunch, and afternoon refreshments for our group, and everything was fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. Julie and her team were incredibly professional, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. They were also very accommodating when it came to dietary restrictions, which we really appreciated for our group (e.g., gluten and soy allergies). The food was a hit with our participants, and the setup and service helped the day run smoothly. We're grateful for their attention to detail and look forward to working with Sunflower Chef Catering again this May!

To the Cyd's Catering Staff-…read more First off, I would like to thank all of the staff for making our Easter meal one of the best ever. My family and I had some last minute orders for some side dishes and Cyd and her team stepped up to the plate! (pun intended) The glazed carrots were perfect and tasted great! And the 4 cheese au gratin potatoes were amazing! My family has now decided to use Cyd's Catering for all the holiday meals. Quotes from several family members "Wow, this Cyd's Catering has really made my Easter dining experience the best!" " Do you say 4 cheese potatoes? What, I thought you could only make 3 cheeses? So cool!" "Not sure how they did it, but did you see how they cut those carrots, somebody has some skills!" "Cyd's Catering is not only changing the Easter experience for the better, but they are also changing the world for the better too!" "Amen, Cyd's Catering, you are my new spirit animal!" Thank you again for making my family Easter so special! Peace Shane K

They provided food, and ran the bar, and also cleaned up the room by taking down tables and making sure everything was back in order..

Inside a Cash Saver isn't really where you would normally think to find flavorful restaurant…read morequality items. Another no frills location that is serving up some pretty good food! Be careful if you Google Hot Tamale Catering. The previous location on SE 14th shows up in Google as Permanently Closed. The current location on Fleur is very much open. Open 800 AM - 800 PM Tuesday through Saturday. Closed on Sundays and Mondays. When you pull in to Cash Saver it kind of looks like Hot Tamale Catering has it's own entrance on the North end. It doesn't. Make sure you enter through Cash Saver's main entrance and then head to your Left. The ordering process is similar to most ready to serve counters. You can either call your order in or place it there. Payment is done at the register to your Left. Seat yourself and they bring the food out to you. Seating is low top table and chairs and booths. Fountain drinks are self serve Coke products. I've known Angie Ramos by reputation for years, but this is my first time meeting her face to face. I'm not sure why. I screw up a lot. Ask my exes and current gf... A killer smile and a Texas accent that can't be hidden.... She was working the counter when I walked up. I ordered the double smashburger style cheeseburger with potato salad (I'm fried out) and a soda for there. And an order of 10 fried chicken legs to go. Angie didn't want to give me the legs in the case and offered to fry a batch up fresh since I was going to be there eating a meal anyway. You got to love it when an owner recognizes that unprompted! The wait for the burger was short. A few minutes and it came out hot and fresh. The accompanying tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles were bright and colorful. The potato salad was how I like it. Not fancy. Potatoes, onion, a little egg, mayo, and mustard. Not bougie thank God. I hate when something so basic gets overcomplicated. Don't do too much. Just keep it simple. Lol The burger was excellent! I'd put it up against Lachele's as far as quality. The meat has obviously never been frozen. We live in Iowa so I know you know what I'm saying. There is a distinct difference in flavor when meat is fresh. Now...you don't get all the options and available combinations Lachele's offers so don't get it twisted. I'm just saying if you want just a basic cheeseburger it's a REALLY good burger. I got the chicken legs to go, but I had to sneak one fresh out in the car. Think KFC original recipe and it's close. Way less trouble than grabbing a family pack from Wally World and then going through the hassle of breading and frying them... And have you priced vegetable oil lately...? Sheesh... This won't be the last time I run to Fleur for fried chicken. Air frying at home is great, but sometimes you need that breading. And I'm fine with all legs. That's a better deal that KFC's dark meat 8pc special on Tuesdays... And I'll also tell you the legs from HTC are a lot bigger than KFC's... So how do I go to a place named Hot Tamale Catering and walk out with only American comfort food? I'm kind of scratching my head a little and asking myself that too. But everything I got was cooked perfect... So the bottom line is... I don't care! Lol Though her tamales and enchiladas are what she built her name on so I'd encourage you to support her and try those too. You can buy them bulk and by the dozen. And an all day breakfast... I don't see how you can go wrong with that either! Good food, good service, and a great conversation with an engaged owner. I couldn't ask for the better first experience with Hot Tamale Catering and meeting Angie. Make sure you watch their Facebook page. A lot of times they offer pop up sales and daily specials that aren't regular menu items. https://hottamaledsm.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mexican.cater/

Update to my last review. I posted my review while waiting for the owner to respond to my…read morequestions. As a NEW small business that advertises their apple ciders as dairy/lactose free I would hope that their would be better ways to prevent cross contamination. Which is what the owner and I deduced occured after looking over ingredients and such. They do keep the hot cocoa and hot cider on seperate tables but due to the high winds that Iowa is prone to there is no way to fully prevent some major cross contamination. There must of been a dusting of hot cocoa granules that got into my families cups of hot cider. I will say the hot cider was delicious but I post reviews as a warning to people with food allergies especially. Due to me having a gluten and dairy allergy. I have not tried there sodas or energy drinks.

Jason has been bringing his Give You A Belly Belly BBQ into our business for a couple of months…read morenow. I know he also actively caters for Leftie's and the Des Moines Elks Lodge! I've tried his brisket, jerked chicken, and pork ribs! All good though I'd have to say his pork ribs are probably my fovorite... I've seen him offer a parmesan garlic chicken and fried catfish. I haven't had the chance to try those just yet... The sides he typically offers are fried cabbage, greens, mac and cheese, yams, baked beans, potato salad and pasta salad. That fried cabbage with a little hot sauce..! So good. Definitely one of my favorites. If you can catch him out and about you'll enjoy his food! Or give him a call and have him cater in for you...
