    Carne Asada, Adobada, Chicken taco bar
    Khoa N.

    It is unfortunate the store is closed but I am glad they switched to catering. We wanted tacos for our company luncheon and El Guero 2 prices were reasonable and easy to work with. I did not hear any complaints about the food nor condiments. I thought everything was delicious, adequate food was given for 30 people. Carne asada, adobada and chicken were seasoned well and the green salsa had a nice char aftertaste with a bit of kick. Red salsa was too spicy for me. They also do live cooking but we didn't have enough people. All in all, highly recommended if you wanted to do a taco bar for a company event. Slim pickings down here in Otay Mesa.

    I chose this restaurant because they had 5 stars with 88 reviews. I agree with the rating. There is a man with glasses who took my order and served my food. I ordered an asada plate. Was worth what I paid for. I would recommend to anyone that has a reason to be in this area.

    The closest I've been to Mexico and this place does not disappoint. You will not go hungry after eating here! Good stuff!

    8 Stars. So I am writing this review while waiting for my order. This is important to note, because I was just here 24 hours ago and if I am in San Diego for 24 more hours - I will be here a third day in a row. Side note: I just paused my review for a second, because the owner was giving me multiple taste tests of his favorite dishes - while I'm waiting. YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I think we all recognize love when it's right in front of us...and you are getting a VIP invitation to join this foodie union. The tasty and refreshing dishes here reflect the passions of a true culinary genius at work. EAT. HERE. DAILY.

    The food is delicious here! I've had the carne asada burrito, and the meat was so flavorful and tender. I recently had the fish tacos and they were so good! Best I've ever had. I love the salsas, especially the chipotle sauce! The service is great, everyone is so kind and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting some good, fresh Mexican food.

    Chorizo Omelette with rice and beans. Outstanding!!
    Larry W.

    Update! Outstanding food, service and atmosphere!! We found this place by accident 4 years ago and have been back every time we get to San Diego!! The owner and his wife go over and above and the food is ridiculously good!!! Do yourself a favor and stop by!! You'll thank me!!

    Machaca and eggs

    Breakfast

    We had an amazing breakfast here after leaving Mexico. This place is small but the food is really good! My husband had the chilliquilles. They were creamy and flavorful. The server adapted an asada burrito into a low carb bowl for me and it was delicious. This place is reasonable, the service is attentive, and I will come back!

I originally wanted them to cater my wedding and while we didnt quite go that direction, I loved them so much and wanted to support them so badly that I circled back with them for my DREAM rehearsal lunch. I had a crazy idea that I wanted to do a kamayan style lunch to celebrate my Filipino heritage and they were not only super onboard but even brought the flowers to bring it to life (unexpected and almost made me cry lol). Garlic Chicken, Lechon , Lumpia , Veggie Medley , Garlic Rice, Pancit - it was all SO GOOD. My family and friends told me they were drooling over it like 10 times before we could even give our thank you speech to start the meal - and once eaten, everyone RAVED and also kept asking where the food was from (which of course I raved about back). A huge mahalo to Khara who has been the sweetest soul and rock to lean on when bringing the vision to life , Morgan who stepped in with administrative coordination, Chef Andy of course for the DELICIOUS meal(s), and the whole Kalei's Kitchenette ohana. This will not be the last of me, my family, or my friends , so until next time! Thank you so much again!

Food and catering service were some of our highest priorities to get right during our wedding and Culinary Kitchen was phenomenal every step of the way. Our communication with Ashley and and JP before, during, and after the wedding was exceptional. From the very beginning, Ashley was very responsive and regularly checked in with us, which helped me feel less overwhelmed by all the catering decisions we needed to make. I tend to err on being extremely detail oriented and I asked tons of questions early on. Ashley was so patient and thorough with each email I had sent over even before booking. Before choosing our caterer, we did 3 different wedding caterer tastings and Culinary Kitchen easily was the best of all three (we're still thinking about the gochujang meatballs and the cavatappi pasta with fennel sausage!!). On our wedding day, the food service ran seamlessly and our guests often commented on how good the food was (guests were actually trying to sneak chicken tenders off the kids plates because even the kids meals were so good). Their team also helped us serve our desserts, did our bartending, and rented/placed all of our table settings, all at very reasonable prices as part of the entire catering package. The team also went above and beyond to accommodate all of our guests' special dietary needs while still helping us stay within budget and recommending a cohesive menu. One last thing - we did A LOT of research on different San Diego caterers before our wedding (I think we sent out inquiries to at least 10 other caterers) and Culinary Kitchen's catering packages felt the most "upscale" and comprehensive without leaving us feeling nickel and dimed for every line item. I truly felt like their team was on our side the whole way. THANK YOU Culinary Kitchen for catering our wedding day!! We wish you guys the best of success!

They handled an outdoor mixed station and tray pass party for over 100 people like absolute pros. Their entire staff was friendly, professional, and warm throughout the planning and service. Best of all, the food was DELIGHTFUL. Our guests were blown away by their tasty bites (we are still getting positive feedback nearly a week later) - especially the Lamb Lollipops, Fried Chicken Biscuit sliders, and OMG the fried artichoke hearts.... absolutely delicious (@Billy please give me the recipe hehe), even our meat lovers were obsessed with them. All of it was fantastic and they made the whole event a total hit. They left our kitchen spotless at the end of the night and sent a lovely follow up email the next day. These are good people with big talent for food. The bar was also fabulous and made our hosting easy as pie. We will be using them again and again and I recommend you do too. Cherry on top - they are WAY more affordable than everyone else who quoted us. Thank you Four Seasons!!!

    Quality imagination presentation --…read more Four Seasons Food Catering is owned by the marvelous duo Billy Burd and Sierra Ridenour-Burd. They make an amazing team. They catered a party for us at the The Thursday Club in Point Loma in March and dazzled everyone. When we were trying to choose a caterer we were attracted to Four Seasons by the imaginative and creative flair of Chef Billy Burd's cuisine and by their very positive reviews. One thing that caught our attention about the reviews was that many of them were fairly long. Apparently reviewers were not satisfied to give 5 stars and a paragraph of praise, they really wanted to testify. They felt that Four Seasons was special and they were motivated to let you know just how special. After experiencing Four Seasons catering service we can understand that sentiment. The culinary experience Four Seasons provided was marvelous. The dishes were imaginative, taste tempting, and a delight to the eye. Guests loved the appetizers that were passed: shrimp wrapped in basil and pancetta, mushrooms with escargot, parmesan crusted artichoke hearts. The stationary display had a choice assortment of cheeses and a selection of cold seafood that included jumbo shrimp, smoked salmon, ahi poke, and a sashimi platter all beautifully presented. Suffice it to say the buffet was equally spectacular. Chef Billy takes pride in the quality of the products he sources. The filet mignon for example was gorgeous. The shrimp served in the seafood display were so tasty that they made you stop and take notice. This was a once in a lifetime kind of party for us so we pulled out the stops when we were choosing items for the menu. It's very much to Billy and Sierra's credit that part of their response was to say that and they would be happy to offer some more budget friendly variations. We appreciated their inclination to work with clients to find good solutions to their needs. We enjoyed meeting with Chef Billy one time early in the planning process, but other than that, all the planning and coordination was handled by Sierra. She is fantastic and a pleasure to work with. She gave us recommendations on the initial approach to the menu, on down to details like the serving schedule, linens, and the table floor plan. We communicated mostly through email which was very productive because her emails, besides being congenial, were always clear and complete. And it was amazing how quickly she would reply, usually the same day. When it came to the final week before the party and it was time to summarize all the various emails and discussions Sierra nailed it, she recapped everything perfectly. The Four Seasons staff were wonderful. During the set up time they operated like clockwork. During the party they could not have been more charming and gracious. This is another major point to Billy and Sierra's credit. It takes care and effort to assemble a team of this quality--a group of individuals who interface harmoniously not only with the guests, but with each other, and with other vendors such as the florist. The whole event flowed thanks to the staff. When you are planning a special event you hope to create a joyful and memorable experience for all your guests. Four Seasons is a caterer with an amazing combination of culinary artistry and service craft. Choose Four Seasons as your caterer and you can't go wrong.
