Great communication with both Arnold and Lani. I ordered a half tray of pancit and 75pcs shanghai lumpia, plus a dozen vegetable lumpia for my daughter's baby shower. They confirmed my order, I was able to pay by Zelle and the order was ready at 12:30pm as I had requested, they even texted me a reminder. I never saw a menu because I knew what I wanted to order, but I do know they can do pancit canton, bihon and mix. Sounds like they can do anything! Just make sure to give them enough time when you place the order. I think they request two weeks notice but to be honest I called them two days before and they kindly took my order. I can't believe I didn't get any pics but I know the food went fast and I should have ordered twice as much.

My family and I were looking to hold a retirement party for my dad and I was left to look for food…read more I was a bit nervous because I was left in charge of food. My mom told me my dad requested Filipino food so I decided to start searching on yelp. I saw A&L Catering and decided to give it a try. I was happy to find catering that wasn't coming from a restaurant. Because I feel like you get better quality tasting food when you find a smaller business. I was texting between Arnold and he was really easy to talk to. He's very good in communicating. My mom had a couple of dishes that weren't on their menu but they were able to delivery. Great quality food and everything we order was delicious. My family definitely came back after one plate. We ordered Pinakbet, Kare kare, Pancit canton (my sisters and I were excited when we saw the quail eggs in the dish), Menudo, and the two requested dishes were Inihaw na bangus and Lumpiang sariwa. They included the sauce and peanuts for the Lumpiang sariwa and bagoong for the Kare Kare. What I also like was that the vegetables for the Kare Kare were separated and you had the option to either mix it with the dish or grab it separately. I will definitely recommend them and use them again for another party. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the food but it looked delicious.

We only had 3 servers standing beside the food while the guests serve themselves. They arrived at 1:30p and started packing up at 4:30p. The dishes looked pleasant but didn't taste freshly cooked. The Kare kare was mostly dry beef and cabbage. It tasted like it was about to go bad. It had a slight sour taste. Everyone ate but hardly any went back for seconds. We had so much leftover food that got tossed. The guests didn't want to take any of it home. Some of them were forced to take some.

Bolsa BBQ is neither good or bad but it is EXTRAordinary. Kenny is a class act with great personality and outstanding attention to detail from point of contact, communication, punctuality, preparation, set up and clean up. Oh and I have not mention the quality of the food and more so the TASTE was amazing. I could write a review on each item but it would take too long, so I will make it simple. We had two types of ribs, chicken and sausage. Sides were cole slaw, baked beans, potato salad and corn on the cob. .Each item would blow any high end restaurant out of the water by a long shot.

First off, I am friends with the owners of Bolsa BBQ. Friends or not, this is an honest review of…read moretheir food/buisness. Okay so, Bola BBQ is a catering company based out of Corona that uses a mobile rotisserie smoker unit to cater events around Orange County. They specialize in smoked ribs and meats for birthday/private/corporate/fundraising/festivals events. They even have a baby shower an a wedding under their belt. Although their motto is, "Smoke + Low Heat + Meats = Good Eats" they do a lot more than just BBQ, so just ask and they will cater the menu to your needs. They recently took 2nd place in the rib division at the Fountain Valley BBQ Bonanza this month. Now this is a big deal because they were up against 4 or 5 major competitive BBQ organizations that travel around the US attending and competing at these types of events. So congrats to them. Other events they partake in includes the Long Beach Lobster Festival, Tet Festival in Garden Grove and etc. The events are typically three (3) days and with each new day, they use different woods (ie. apple, cherry hickory and etc.) to smoke their meats to add an additional flavor profile on top of their own personal rub mix. So it's interesting to come back the next day to try out the new flavor profile and compare which wood flavor you prefer. I personally prefer the cherry over the apple because it has a slightly sweet fruity mild smoke flavor vs the apple which is also sweet but it is a bit denser in flavor profile in my opinion. The viscosity of their sauce is just right. Not too thick, not too thin. It is sweet, tangy and not too spicy. I personally like to have my ribs fall off the bone because it is easier to eat and less messy. So when I eat their pork or beef ribs I truly enjoy them because they are easy to consume due to the melt in your mouth feel. The ribs are super tender and juicy. For their sides at the events/festivals I have tried their BBQ beans and corn bread that are also smoked in the rotisserie. They are good and have a nice mouth feel. The cornbread is not dry and have actual bits of corn in them. The BBQ beans are yummy, perhaps it's the bacon they add to the dish. People do say bacon makes everything taste better. I never really ate their coleslaw since I am not big on veggies but I hear it's pretty good as well. At the OC Fair there was this guy selling "THE BIG RIB." When I first saw it online I was like "WHAT?!?!" but then I saw other photos posted online and I figured it was not what it claimed to be. My boyfriend ended up buying one at the fair it was good but it was weird how the bone in "THE BIG RIB" was sliced in half which by the way does not occur naturally in nature so I figured something was up. It was good but not something we'd get again. Bolsa BBQ's also had their version of the big rib called the "Dino" bone or the short rib. It was pretty darn tasty. I prefer this version over the OC Fair one. I was already stuffed from the pork ribs and the Nephew's pulled pork nachos which included beans, cheese, coleslaw and a drizzle of BBQ sauce so took the rib home and ate it the next day. It was still good and MASSIVE. That thing can feed at least 2 people easy, but in my case ONE, YUM-O. As for the nachos they used actual nacho cheese and not the shredded stuff so that is always a two thumbs up for me. Nachos are not nachos when restaurants use the shredded stuff. From time to time they offer turkey legs as well and they are pretty tasty. My orders have always been correct, hot and fast so no complaints on that end. They even offer "kids meals," which not all food vendors tend to cater to at festivals. Just remembered, I did have a taste of their whole suckling pig with mango salsa once. Now that was good! It was like their pulled pork sandwiches but better. The contrast in hot smoked suckling pig combined with cool sweet tanginess of the mango and peppers made the dish. If I were to compare Bolsa BBQ's food to other BBQ restaurants, I would say Bolsa BBQ is above average so 4 stars. I almost forgot, they also give FREE SAMPLES of their pork/beef ribs and pulled pork during the events. Make sure you stop on by and try them out. You will be hooked! It's always nice to be able to sample the product before you buy, it's like buying a car or clothes.

Overall stellar experience with Texas Craft Barbeque!…read more Needed a whole brisket for my daughters birthday party, called up a few places and the standard quote was $260 for 5-7lb brisket. Not here! My total was a hair over $200 out the door and the brisket was twice the size of competitors. Not only was it budget friendly but it was cooked PERFECTLY, tender all around, good smoke ring, and amazing bark. And all this on less than 48 hours notice. With the price of beef, if you value your time then it doesn't even make sense to cook it yourself, let Texas Craft Barbeque handle it. Overall 6/5 star experience, will absolutely return!

As per other establishments of the tradition, soul food cooking techniques make up for the lack of smoke in extra seasoning and their proprietary molasses heavy bbq sauce. The bbq is swimming in sauce and the sauce is addicting and distinct. Sides are traditional and homemade. The hot link was very salty but I don't think they make their own sausages. Excellent place for chicken, ribs, Mac n cheese, and other sides. Makes for a big, comforting plate. One of the best sauces I've had albeit distinct. Distinct and hard to directly compare. It had a certain shiny quality to it that I rarely ever see. Some quality that stood out amidst others. Honestly, I think it's just an abundant amount of authentic molasses. Makes the sauce extra quality if you like that flavor profile. Way better than all those fake gourmet bbq places using wood pellet indoor smokers. This is original city bbq and a better option than these modern age imitators. Nothing fancy but I'm sure the barhoppers will appreciate them trucking around.
