    We had catered food delivered for a baby shower, and everything was perfect! They delivered on time fresh, hot and vegetables were cooked perfect, not overdone. 100% Will use them again! Well done, Bad to the Bone!

    Tri Tip

    This is a nice local BBQ joint. They have some good meat choices and nice sides. This time I went with the Two Item Plate - I chose the Tri Tip and the Smoked 1/4 Chicken. Both are full of flavor and tender, but you need to get some BBQ sauce to dip it into to - so good. For sides, I chose the ranch beans and the garlic bashed potatoes. The potatoes are smooth and awesome. My ranch beans were cold but they were pretty good. The cornbread had good texture and taste especially with the honey butter. You order at the counter and the employee at the counter was so nice. Overall good experience.

    7-Beef Rib Dinner from Bad to the Bone

    Three of the 7 beef ribs were 1-1/2" long. Those are too small so the order was not worth $70.

    Yes, there is a second BBQ place in San Juan Capistrano and although it isn't as good as Heritage, it's a comfortable sit down lace with same defensive menu and is far more affordable. The brisket could be more tender, however the baby back ribs are fantastic and the sides are massive

    4 meat plate, tri-tip, sausage, pulled pork and brisket. Mac n cheese + coleslaw + beans and corn bread. Yummy!

    They do not take reservations. Sadly that's a deal breaker for me. Even though the food may be very good.

    Absolutely Outstanding! Taylor Made Cuisine Made Our Wedding Perfect!…read more I honestly don't know what I would have done without Taylor Made Cuisine! If I could give 10 stars I would!!! My husband and I had been living in Arizona for the past eight months while our home in San Clemente was being renovated. The project was supposed to be finished in January, giving me six months to plan our intimate Fourth of July patio wedding. Instead, the renovation wasn't completed until mid-June, leaving me with just two weeks to plan everything. What were the chances of finding a caterer - let alone an exceptional one - with only two weeks' notice on one of the busiest holidays of the year? Thankfully, Taylor Made Cuisine came to the rescue! From the very beginning, the ordering process was seamless, organized, and completely stress-free. They made everything so easy during a time when I was juggling countless wedding details. The food was absolutely exquisite! Every dish was beautifully prepared and presented, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. People were going back for seconds and asking who our caterer was! I also loved the elegant menu display that listed each dish and its ingredients - it was such a thoughtful, classy touch that elevated the entire presentation. What truly made the experience exceptional was Beatriz. She was simply AH-MAZING! She arrived right on time, handled the entire setup flawlessly, and made everything look beautiful. Throughout the event, she was constantly working behind the scenes, serving guests, discreetly clearing plates, keeping everything spotless, and making sure everyone was taken care of. She was incredibly professional, warm, attentive, and genuinely a joy to have at our wedding. My aunt Sue just thought the world of her when she told me the next day she had a wonderful conservation with her. Thanks to her, I was actually able to relax and enjoy our special day instead of worrying about the details. If you're searching for a caterer and reading reviews, stop here and call Taylor Made Cuisine. You will not find a company that provides more personalized service, attention to detail, professionalism, and genuinely delicious food. They exceeded every expectation I had and played a huge part in making our wedding day absolutely perfect. I will happily use Taylor Made Cuisine for every future event. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding so memorable. We are beyond grateful!

Knowing everyone would be tired and hungry after the graduation ceremony, I wanted to have the dinner follow immediately after the ceremony without having the formality and structure of restaurant dining nor the extra work of picking up food from a restaurant. I found Party in a Box on-line and was impressed by the breadth and sophication of the menu items with a price point that was very competitive with the other options I was evaluating. Chef Dawn responded to my initial inquiry the same day. She answered my basic questions and provided a quote by the following morning. She suggested further refinements to the menu to ensure we satisfied all my guests' varied tastes. Food was delivered and setup in my back yard before we arrived home from the ceremony. Warm dishes were kept on chafing plates and the other items were covered to stay cool. The presentation was beautiful (orchid flowers garnished some of the platters). And the food was devine! Everyone raved about it as they ate seconds and thirds. The best part was we had leftovers for the following day. Nothing went to waste! Party in a Box elevated my small graduation dinner into a memorable and beautiful event. The quality, the value, and service was world class and I look forward to using Chef Dawn's Party in a Box for my next special event.

The chefs were hilarious, engaging, and kept the whole group laughing with plenty of surprises sprinkled throughout the evening. This is such a great option for a big group and made the celebration feel extra special without having to leave the house. Highly recommend booking two chefs if you can - it keeps service moving quickly and doubles the entertainment value. Would absolutely book again and recommend to anyone looking to do something fun and memorable.
