A Tasteful Affair catered a lunch at my work and I have never been so impressed with the food and…read moreservice from a caterer. Even though the situation for them was less than ideal (our space is not the easiest to work within), they handled everything with aplomb! We had a beef and chicken option for proteins, and both were juicy and tender, and full of flavor! The asiago potatoes were my absolute favorite part, though the green beans with carrots were exceptional as well. I'm already married, but if I was planning a wedding, I would look no further than these amazing folks. In fact, if I know anyone in the area holding an event, I'll be suggesting them with complete enthusiasm, guaranteed. Just all around fantastic from start to finish. Way to go!

Food and service was great! All the guests loved the food and took home leftovers which is exactly…read morewhat I needed. The decor and arrangements were good too but I would say they might look better indoors than outdoor. They had a lot of decor options to choose from. The only con I had was with the menu; it is not descriptive enough to understand the ingredients and meat. Since the names of the dishes are also very traditional, you are left guessing at what they are. I would say confirm what the dishes are/ ingredients to make sure they cater to your taste.

I ordered catering for a memorial gathering and specifically requested delivery at 2:00 PM. I…read moreconfirmed the address and delivery time by text as requested. At 1:45 PM on the day of the event, I received a message that the food had just been sent by Uber. Concerned, I reached out for confirmation but received no response for 30 minutes. The food ultimately arrived about an hour late. When I later discussed the situation with the owner, I had hoped for understanding and a simple acknowledgment of the mistake. Instead, I was met with repeated excuses and defensiveness. Despite the clear communication leading up to the event, there was no apology and no acceptance of responsibility for the late delivery. The food itself was good. However, what left the most negative impression was not the delay itself, but the complete lack of accountability afterward. Delays happen, but customers deserve honest communication and ownership when things go wrong. Unfortunately, because of the way this situation was handled, I cannot recommend this business to others and will not be using their services again.

We hired Henry for a birthday party for a group of family and friends (around 70 people, including…read morekids), at the park this weekend, and he did a fantastic job! It was so convenient to have someone else take care of all the shopping, prepping, and cooking. Our guests loved the food. Many took home business cards. Henry was so easy to work with, my wife and I were wondering if we missed any important planning steps. Haha. It took just a few emails to get a quote, secure the date, and finalize the menu. Henry and his son showed up at the park exactly when he said he'd be there, and the food was cooked on premise, exactly on time. Henry sources all the ingredients from Costco and buys everything needed the day before. I'm a huge fan of all things Kirkland. Always solid quality and value. I've been pretty lazy about writing Yelp reviews lately. Figured I'd write one for Grillaxin since many of the other reviews are years old, and the website seems to be defunct. I think they're more active on Instagram now.

Wow... Hosted an…read moreevent with about ~115 people. While I was unfamiliar with ordering food for a large number of people, Priscilla helped recommend the amount of food for the requirements, "I don't want to run out of food during the event" and "we love desserts". Another side note: I was catering snacks rather than a meal. I ended up ordering - tri-tip - mashed potatoes - roasted veggies - assorted bread - lemon garlic salmon - veggie garlic pasta - Greek salad - dinner rolls - fresh fruit display - fresh fruit tarts - petit fours - gluten free mini cupcakes: red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, lemon I appreciate that Priscilla suggested to halve the salmon fillets to have double the number of salmon pieces for guests to have snack portions rather than meal portions. Although mini cupcakes were not listed on her menu, she was able to provide them. Also, you can ask her about gluten free desserts. You can have more than just macarons. Compliments I received... "Did you make the food? The salmon and tri-tip were so juicy." "This is better than most wedding food." 2 people inquired who I used to cater for the event. I received general praise that the food was good. I received explicit praise that the petit fours and fruit tarts were good. The mashed potatoes were thick but good. Passion for catering's setup and tear down went smoothly. It was maybe 20-30 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of tear down. I appreciate that they were able to provide decor for the food tables. They also provided some takeout containers for us to take leftover food. 10/10 would cater from them again.

I don't even know where to begin... Priscilla absolutely blew me away! My graduation party was a…read moretotal surprise, planned by my brother, and the food was one of the biggest highlights of the day. Every single dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with so much love and care. You can tell she puts her heart into her work. From the small details to the bold flavors, everything was thoughtful and intentional. Guests are still talking about how amazing the food was ...and trust me, we're a tough crowd to impress! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also kind, professional, and easy to work with. If you're looking for a caterer who brings soul to the table and takes pride in her craft, Passion for Catering is it! I'm so grateful to have experienced her work and will absolutely be recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you for making such a special day even more unforgettable. You truly outdid yourself!

I am gluten free, and had a guest that was celiac and they made sure everything was safe for us. The kids also really loved the mac and cheese, and some adults had the kids sneak them some.

My mom and I were eternally grateful for her experience and taking the reigns when we were overwhelmed with all the details.

Not really a food truck though, since he sets up all the cooking and serving areas outside, so you can see everything he's doing. It's very simple: chose an entree like quesadilla or tacos, choose filling (protein or veggies), and then sides like salad or beans. He does it all as you watch, and what I loved the most was the grilled vegetable option, which had so much flavor. Thank you for supporting both SPARC (Shakespeare and Performing Arts Regional Company) at our fundraiser at 3 Steves Winery, and for the recent Drag Trivia Yelp event!

This business is located across the street from the union city bart station. There's a parking lot on site and street parking in front but not too much. Inside is clean and modern decor with a traditional mexican vibe, if that's possible. Next to the counter is a salsa bar with other forget me nots such as onions, jalapeños, radishes etc. I ordered a few tacos to get a feel for their strengths and weaknesses in their meats. If you know me, you know my philosophy on taquerias and taco trucks. You cant judge off of one item because you might miss out on their main focused dish. Anyway, I got a steak, al pastor, Chile verde and the 2 different shrimp variant tacos. All of them checked out, not a single weakness on the menu. The salsa was on the more bland side. If they bring some more heat or flavor, this place could be unstoppable. Especially for the area, because I haven't really found a spot I could put my name next to. All in all, this is an authentic mexican joint that can be enjoyed by all walks of life. The service was great, as well.. the staff was friendly and patient, answering all of our questions. I definitely recommend this place

I needed halal options for my dietary preferences and she was able to find halal steak which not a lot of people will go through the hassle to do. On top of that, she was so pleasant to have around. Her food is better than any restaurant. Her egg rolls and coffee cake is the best thing this planet has to offer, and this is coming from a picky girl whose mom cooks the best food! As a type A person I was worried about many aspects about my birthday but dinner was something I wasn't worried about because of how on top of everything Vanessa was!
