Excellent experience! Chef Jason McAllister is an amazing talent who will bring the tastiest gourmet food to your event. Very convenient food truck that executes the cooking and commences with an exquisite grazing station of hors d'oeuvres followed by an epic sequence of tasty tray passed entrees. I highly recommend Curiocity catering to provide gourmet deliciousness at your next event, party or corporate function read more

As a vegan, catered events can be hit or miss for me--usually it means a sad plate of grilled vegetables while everyone else gets the exciting food. That has absolutely not been my experience with Curiocity Catering. I've been fortunate to have been to a few events including a wedding and a couple birthday party's they've catered, and I've been blown away by how thoughtful, flavorful, and genuinely satisfying their vegan options are. Especially the caramelized sweet potato slider with toasted potato bun and mustard grain truffle aioli. As someone who's used to being overlooked at catered events, Curiocity has become the one company I get excited to see catering because I know I'll actually eat really well. I highly recommend to anyone looking for wedding catering or any event for that matter with vegan guests to hire Curiocity Catering --you'll make them very happy. read more

We used Curiocity Catering for my coworker's retirement party lunch. Jason and his team did a wonderful and delicious spread of healthy foods. He even helped to serve and clean up. They have a food truck that they cook everything at onsite so the food is also very fresh. His colleague came to set up the mezze platter and it was so gorgeous and delicious. Curiocity Catering is fairly priced, great service and I would highly recommend them for any of your catering needs. read more

Curiocity Catering - Caterers Near Me

I have hired Jason to cater 2 events. My parents 80th birthday last October 2024 and my daughters baby shower November 2025. Both events were a huge success. Our guests loved his food. In fact I loved several of his items so much we asked him to duplicate those for my daughter's shower. Having a caterer bring their own kitchen to the event is not only convenient. It saves you having staff in your home or space which makes your party even more intimate. Jason's catering truck by the way is a fun installment to your party :))) People are very impressed by it! HireJason and his team your party will be a huge success and you will not regret it. The food is delicious and on point I don't even live in California anymore, but when I throw a party, it will be him that I call.. read more

Curiosity catering is wonderful I've used them for two different events they bring a food truck to your location and cook everything out of their own sources it is much easier than having someone in your kitchen while you are trying to an event I've had them for two different events and both were outstanding one of my parties had over 60 people everybody was raving about the food and how many options there were. We ended up serving seven courses it was amazing, He brings wait staff that serve everything. My most recent event was smaller which is 40 people and everybody loved it I had two friends that were vegetarian and vegan and Jason was able to whip them up vegetable options so they didn't miss out on a single amazing flavor if you are debating which person to use I highly recommend curiosity catering they are my go-to for parties and events! read more

Curiosity Catering is the way to go! They catered my husband's retirement party with a perfect menu for my budget, created by Jason. We had a beautiful artisan charcuterie board and caprese skewers to start, then a delicious Baja Mediterranean salad, all so refreshing and delicious! Then beef sliders and braised chicken tacos were very tasty and perfect for our event! Jason was wonderful and so easy to work with and Jady and Antonio were professional and took care of everything so I could host worry free. Definitely will use Curiosity Catering for all my events! read more

After spending some time searching for the right caterer, I finally found Curiocity Catering, and I'm so glad I did. Jason, the owner and chef, helped me with my vision for a modern 50's themed menu. Not only was the food delicious, but the dairy-free milkshakes were awesome. My menu included stuffed mushrooms, grilled cheese in a tomato bisque shooter, sliders, and parmesan fries. The whole staff was great, and they totally added to my themed event. I couldn't be happier. I would absolutely use them again in the future and I would not hesitate to recommend them. read more

Are you kidding me?! LOVE!!!! We have used Curiocity Catering thrice in less than a year! Once for my 40th, again for my sister-in-law's wedding, and a third time for my husband's 40th! Jason and his team are the best of the best. We have no worries ever with them! They serve up fresh delicious food and top notch seamless service! I feel like their family whenever they're here. And the food? Forget about it! Incredible! My six-year-old daughter completely housed four lamb lollipops, and was begging for more! All of their food is absolutely epic and they customize everything from seasonal flavors to dietary specifics! I cannot recommend them enough! read more

Curiocity Catering - Lamb Lollipops and Ahi Tuna from Curiocity Catering were out of this world. Mouth watering!!! - Caterers Near Me

Spoke to the owner, Jason and that was it! Loved his personality and his wife Luz is so supportive and kind. He was so attentive and professional, I did not look at any other vendors after speaking with him. Of course, I went with my brother to try his food before it was official and it was DELICIOUS, fresh, and so filling. He is very open from the start and gives you options to custom-create your menu. The food we served represented me and my husband perfectly. And the winner of the night, The mac and cheese as a late-night snack. This was just the best choice ever. Could not have gone with a better option! 10/10 recommend using Curiocity Catering. This is a picture of me at my wedding! Jason saved me an appetizer, the grilled cheese! Thank you Jason, you are the best!! read more

These guys are amazing. Hands down the best food and friendliest staff you could ask for. I've had several occasions to be at events where Jason and his team were serving and I don't think I've had the same thing twice. The menu varies with the seasons, and they always seem to have the freshest stuff. Even down to the charcuterie, the details are just perfect. If you need a caterer, you need these guys - period. read more

Curiocity Catering - Lamb lollipops... Herb oil Marinated drizzled with fig reduction - Caterers Near Me

I used Curiocity Catering for my daughter's fifth birthday party, and Jason went above and beyond to help me figure out a menu that would work in our budget! We did tray service for her party, and I was told by multiple people after the party that the server was very kind and went out of her way to make sure all of the attendees were satisfied! Guests raved about the food, & it's a big plus that everything is made fresh on site! I wish I had pictures of all of the food because it was honestly picture perfect, but I completely forgot to tell our photographer to capture it! The entire team was very friendly & professional. I'm glad we went with them for our event. I'll definitely utilize them again in the future! read more

Jason and the Curiocity team made my husband's 50th birthday party a HUGE success!! We tasted their food earlier in the summer at Jason's house and were immediately sold. The food is excellent, inventive, and beautifully served. For the party we served beef sliders with truffle fries, mini grilled cheese with tomato soup shooters, mixed vegetable risotto, lamb lollipops, and mini pies for dessert. Everything was delicious--our guests were so impressed! The event was very well staffed. Four servers came two hours ahead to set up. They were professional and organized. They communicated with us ahead of time and throughout the night about pacing and everything flowed perfectly. We would definitely hire Curiocity again and highly recommend them for any event. read more

Curiocity Catering blew me away! They were such a pleasure to work with and the food was unforgettable. I wish I had photos but I was too busy enjoying myself. Can't wait to use their team again for future events. read more

Hands down just in awe of what Jason did at our wedding Sept 17th 2022. I'm pretty sure will be going to a tasting again just because we love his food soo much hahaha!! He's flexible, clear, honest, organized, and over-delivered.  We had a 250 person wedding and the food was even better than when we did tastings. The food was better than most restaurants we've EVER been to. Our wedding menu was as followed: Cocktail Hour: Peruvian ceviche - was insane, and we're Mexican and traveled to Peru to have ceviche.  Caperse Skewers - omg the tomatoes and vinegrette was amazing Dinner: Risotto - hands down thr best I've ever tasted and I love to order risotto Caper Chicken - tender & juicy soo good Strawberry Salad - The strawberries were delicious Bread - Everyone raved about the raisen bread Pie w Gelato - great hit Went to 3 tastings (traveling from LA to SD) to find the very best haha. He knows what he's doing and he has vegan options. He customizes the menu as much as you'd like and will keep it real in terms of production, time, and expectations. He'll bring his own serving staff and makes everything fresh and it makes all the difference! Highly recommend def one of the highlights of our wedding! You won't go wrong! you'll be in great hands :) read more

Curiocity catered a private event to raise money for services for human trafficking survivors, and not only is their generosity commendable, but their food was truly exquisite!

Curiocity Catering really comes through for the community! I cannot thank them enough for their generous donation of equipment for our volunteer organization Volunteer with Cheli. This will allow us to better serve our partners and give us a more professional look when an event calls for food service. Thanks CC! read more

I don't even know where to begin with this catering company. Although they were really nice when it came to talking/initially working with them and the food tastes good, their execution was poor. Personally, I did not feel like they knew how to cater for a wedding and their tasting menu is very misleading. They lacked staff and just knowledge of how much food to give people. Our guests left the wedding hungry because the amount of food they provided was enough to feed children and not grown adults. If kids who are less than 5 are asking for seconds, you know that you suck at portions. In addition, Jason (the person who owns Curiocity) walked right in the middle of the speeches to talk to me and my wife, which was definitely not appropriate. Learn to read the room and what is going on. Let me list out the issues for everyone to know what exactly went on... 1. It is the summer, so you can't expect to have two water jugs to quench the thirst of over 150 guests. Who in their right mind would think that two jugs is enough and not have the staff to fill it fast enough if you are going to bring only two jugs 2. One slider, some fries, a small scoop of risotto, and a salad is not enough to feed a grown adult. And for Jason to say that he would be stuffed from this does not equate that to everyone. Also want to point out the people at this wedding are not big people and big eaters, so for many people to say they were hungry means Jason needs to learn proper portion 3. Inadequate staff to serve food and do anything in a timely fashion. Food ended up being cold 4. Jason and co also had the audacity to blame other people for their lack of ability to do their work properly. Learn to take ownership. There's probably more to say, but I will stop because this just frustrates me. Jason you should just quit this job and do something that doesn't involve customer service because you really don't know people and how to feed them. I bet all your 5 star reviews are solicited because no human being should give you a 5 star read more

Hi My name Elie I worked opening day at Del Mar at the event that curiosity catered the food was amazing the tuna sliders and all the food was delicious and amazing I definitely recommend them for any event Elie Goldcoast town cars 5 stars read more

This was the only vendor that I regretted hiring for our wedding day. These guys were unprofessional, unprepared and unorganized on the wedding day and in the way they try to resolve complaints. Just to give a few examples: 1. They did not have enough staff on site making sure the water was refilled on a very hot summer day so a number of our guests were miserable, dehydrated and coming up to us to let us know the water ran out. 2. Curiocity was also hired for bar service but they didn't even serve our signature drinks during cocktail hour which we had made signs for (how embarrassing). They told guests that all they had was wine which is not what we had paid for. 3. To top it off, our main goal was for our guests to leave full and satisfied. We had been very clear about this when we met with Curiocity for our menu tasting and they reassured us that all guests would be called to grab seconds if they desired. Not even close. We had about 140 guests. We later found out that maybe 10 guests, if that, were able to grab seconds and at least 25% of our guests were still hungry by the end of dinner. The plates of food that my husband and I received were much smaller than the amount of food we had at our tasting. Both of us were still hungry. In the end Curiocity offered a very small refund because of the poor service and somehow tried to blame us and the coordinator for what happened when this was obviously their responsibility to make sure the food and beverages were adequate. They should have just been honest about how much food they'd be able to serve rather than misleading people. Definitely stay far away if you don't want your wedding to be remembered for the disappointing food and bar service! read more

Everyone loved the food items and service! First time I had Curiocity was at a friends wedding. The food was so good that when the time came to plan my works Corporate Holiday Party just recently, I called Jason right away (around September I think) and asked for his availability. He invited me to a tasting (photos attached) We locked in after a week or two of planning the menu. I gave him a certain budget and he came up with a menu with a very quick turnaround - and all 85 of us loved the food! We had the lamb chops, tacos, truffle fries, sliders, risotto. He also planned a cheese board to start while the guests slowly trickle in. And the cheeseboard was festive for the holidays! He definitely took the stress out in planning the food for me, and without a doubt he delivered! read more

Jason, the owner, is the friendliest vendor you will have the opportunity to work with. Wedding planning can be stressful, especially selecting your vendors, but Jason really accommodates his clients needs and is such a genuine person. He was able to reschedule a tasting with us with such short notice due to my fiance's schedule changing. We loved his diverse menu and. his food was delicious. The lamp chops are a must! read more

Our wedding was Sept 25th, 2021, and we are so happy we booked Curiocity Catering! We loved our food! Jason is very responsive and professional. They are a food truck, but our menu was already selected so no one was going up to order anything. The food was ready to go come dinnertime! Sometimes people see a food truck and assume it's an open menu. We had grilled cheese w/ tomato bisque shooters, salmon skin tacos, and chips and salsa for cocktail hour. For dinner we had the beef sliders, parmesan fries, strawberry salad, and vegetable risotto. We opted for the iced tea and lemonade station as well. Everything was so delicious! Everything was served in a reasonable time, with friendly waitstaff. We also booked a bartender with them as our venue required it. I wasn't expecting them to have the bartender service but I'm glad they did, it saved me from having to search for another vendor. We had these guys booked from March 2020, so to see it all finally come to life was really awesome. Thanks for being a part of our special day Curiocity Catering!! read more

We recently had a tasting for our daughters wedding with Jason and his wonderful staff and I can't say enough about our experience. Jason was an absolute gentleman and he made our tasting for our daughters wedding a fun and personal experience. We tasted the risotto, tomato bisque, and his sliders. We had other items which were also incredible, but these where our top favorites. He was patient and kind and also set a beautiful table scape for us. Recommend curiosity Catering 10/10. His food and service will not disappoint. read more

I had an amazing Oatmeal Beer Bratwurst from Curiocity. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3FWJ6LTsCjF0DIhBGAosLw?select=hEsB_f1OZCile-Hx-sqwXw) They happen to be at the North Park Street Festival of the Arts, so I decided to check them out. The ordered the brat for $6.00 and a bottle of coke. The brat was absolutely amazing! it was extremely juicy and full of bold flavor. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3FWJ6LTsCjF0DIhBGAosLw?select=cOxG8mxbL1eUf5cYWKUa_w) The grilled onions were perfect too. The were succulent but they maintained their nice crunch. My only complaint, which is a small one, was that the bun could of been a little bigger. Every time I took a bite, onions would fall off, so then the onions became finger food. That being said, it was still one of the best bratwurst I have ever had. The hunt for the Curiocity truck begins.... read more

Curiocity is raising the San Diego catering standard, from concept to coordination. Everything I tasted at my friends Little Italy wedding was spectacular! My mouth is watering just thinking about the chimichurri sauce perfectly paired with tender ribeye... and the fresh farmers market risotto.

Jason and his crew did such a great job on the first corporate catered event, that we asked them back another time. Their food is fabulous and their service was just as great. It's amazing the quality of food they are able to serve out of their food truck. The Kombu Dashi Seared Ahi whet everyone's palate as the perfect starter. The ahi was fresh and the bed of slaw added a nice crunch and freshness. The Tomato Bisque Shooter & Mini Grilled Cheese was artfully served, the Salmon Skin Tacos had a symphony of flavors, and the Risotto was perfectly creamy and delicious! My personal favorite were the Lamb Lollipops. Everyone also raved about the end of the meal with Grandma's Pie à la Mode. It was the perfect finish. I would recommend Jason and his crew for any catered event. They provided great quality food and service. read more

Jason and his team recently catered for my wife's birthday party; the entire experience from tasting to communication and delivery was incredible. Going above and beyond in planning, logistics, games - even arranging the BAND - Jason was flexible, clear, honest, and over-delivered. The food was plentiful and delicious! I was approached by nearly every guest, during and after... All raving about it. Curiocity Catering made the party an epic one! Thank you Jason! Dan read more

This review is long overdue. We had Curiocity Catering cater our wedding pre-covid and my wife and I are still hearing from friends and family about how good the food was. We wanted something different and a unique menu with a lot of variety. This is one of the many reasons why we ended up choosing Curiocity Catering. We were also impressed with the flow and the whole process we experienced. If we were to do it all over again it is without a doubt we would choose this company to cater our wedding. Best of luck to Jason and the crew. Cheers, alan read more

There is a reason why there are so many 5 star reviews for this company... they are simply the best. Jordan could not have been any more helpful than he was. From our first email to his goodbye wave as they drove away - the whole process and experience was first class. I hired Curiocity to cater my husbands retirement party. 90+ folks at my home. Everyone raved (and are still raving) about the food.. the service.. the friendliness of everyone involved. This company understands what it means to provide a service and they are so very good at it. Do not hesitate to hire this company for your event - you will not be disappointed. read more

Curiocity Catering - A perfect day.. Awesome food from Curiocity Catering and ice cream from Sweet Treats Trucks.. - Caterers Near Me

Curiocity Catering did an amazing job for our wedding in June 2019. The quality of local fresh ingredients was exactly what I was looking for, and the menu options were so delicious we had to choose them all! As a bride who doesn't drink anymore, the food was very important to me, it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious! For apps we chose jidori chicken tacos and the charcuterie board, which they adorned with beautiful fresh flowers. I was all about the lamb chops and strawberry goat cheese "seduction" salad, and the vegans couldn't get enough of the farmers market veggie risotto. For our less adventurous eaters, we chose the all beef sliders, which were so juicy and delicious my husband ate 3 of them, on top of everything else haha. Owner and head chef Jason was a blast to work with, very professional and provided tasting for us as soon as we were ready. As planning everything else for the wedding got really stressful, Jason made the whole food process a breeze. All in all, I would definitely hire Curiocity Catering for future events. read more

There are caters that you can get, and then there is the caterers that you want. Jason, and his team from Curiosity, are the caterers that you want.

The most amazing small bites for our Opening Day Del Mar party. Lollipop lamb chops, sliders, ahi, ceviche. All amazing!!

This review is long overdue! My husband and I got married on 09/17/16 at Milagro Farms Winery and Curiocity Catering catered our wedding. Let me tell you, they were a hit! We had so many of our guests rave about the food, especially the sliders. Our family is used to corden bleu or just the general wedding food, so having a food truck was awesome! People went back for seconds, people posed with the food in the photo booth, and overall our guests were happy! Prior to the wedding, we worked with Shawnta to discuss what we wanted and schedule a tasting. She was awesome to work with and super helpful. We had some last minute changes to our guest count which the company was able to accommodate. Shawnta also insured that the were some vegetarian sliders available to a few of our guests. I would highly recommend Curiocity Catering to anyone! The food is delicious and the staff is awesome! read more
