Every course, from the appetizers to the main courses, was incredible and beautifully presented. Many of our guests reached out about how it was simply such good food. One of our deciding factors was the fact that Buckboard is actually a restaurant here in San Diego, so their food was not just "wedding food" but actually restaurant quality. We fell in love instantly after our tasting. Knowing they are a local San Diego restaurant gave us so much confidence in food quality, and they absolutely delivered. Their service on the day of our wedding was seamless. It felt like everything was handled effortlessly, which allowed us to enjoy the day stress-free. My husband and I planned our wedding on our own and one of the biggest reliefs for us was that Buckboard took care of so many details - from linens, plates, and bar service to the propane for the heaters. Having one point of contact for everything was a great aspect. We truly didn't worry about their services at all day of. Buckboard's familiarity with our venue was another huge plus. They worked in perfect harmony with the venue staff. And as a same-sex couple, we were deeply touched by how welcomed and respected they made us feel throughout the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend Buckboard Catering for their incredible food, great service, and outstanding communication. They made our wedding day not just special, but unforgettable. Thank you, Buckboard, for everything, you're truly the best!

This is a nice friendly neighborhood market. I stopped in for some New Steaks and at $7.99 a pound…read more I picked up two steaks and the price came to $13.58. The steaks were of very good quality and grilled up nicely. The store offers a meat counter with your BBQ necessities, including charcoal, wood, and seasonings, not to mention a lot of beers! They carry a variety of beef cuts, including poultry. You can special order large cuts. The service was cordial and sincere. I liked that the owner took time for small talk regarding his business. There's plenty of parking.

Their team is professional, friendly, and easy to work with from start to finish. And the strawberry lemonade? Worth the booking all by itself. What really sets them apart is their speed. We've worked with several taco caterers over the years, and Tacos Don Jorge is by far the fastest at getting guests through the line without sacrificing quality. That's a huge deal at any event. Nothing kills the flow of a party faster than looking over and seeing your guests stuck in a long dinner line. Tacos Don Jorge keeps things moving, serves great food, and makes the whole experience feel effortless. Highly recommend.

I contacted them about 4 months before the event, giving them plenty of notice. At first, they responded saying they understood my situation and that someone would get in touch with me regarding my deposit. Days went by and I reached out again, only to be told once more that someone would contact me. After that, more days passed with no response at all. Now they are not even replying to my texts or giving me the courtesy of a phone call. What I found most unprofessional was being given hope that my deposit issue would be addressed, only to be completely ignored afterward. Communication and customer service matter, especially when dealing with clients who booked in good faith.

You can tell that Jorge and Raphael are proud of the food they are serving. Our guests not only appreciated the delicious appetizers (quesadillas, elote cups and chips/guacamole) and mains of tacos, rice and beans, they enjoyed the service from these personable gentlemen. Several guests asked me, "Where did you find these guys?" I would not hesitate to have Takobar San Diego at our next event.

I have no idea what to think of this place…read more With all of the high praise I've seen in their reviews, including a number of Yelp Elites, I had very high hopes for a top experience from an established food truck. What I got was terrible on multiple levels. How was Takobar this disappointing? So, full disclosure on how my wife and I came across this place. Takobar was parked at my daughter's Multi-Cultual Festival, serving dinner, at Paloma Elementary in San Marcos. They were there selling entrees alongside a Hawaiian Ice and Sushi Burrito spots. My better half didn't want to risk getting raw fish from a food truck, so we opted for a Carne Asada Tacos Plate. Visually, our food was plated well and had a good spread. There was a good amount of food, plenty of beef, a side of chips and a cup of beans on the side. The onions and cilantro had a nice hand chop to them. And there was a healthy spoonful of guac on each taco. It was a very appealing start. As for taste, the carne asada itself was very dry, as if it had been cooked without any marinade, making the meat loose and crumbly. The cut of the beef was thin, I'm assuming they used slices of flank as opposed to a thicker skirt steak. And it had an overall feel like it had been cooked, then placed into a warmer to further dry out until it was served. The end result was somewhat bland, mealy, and unlike what Carne Asada really should taste and feel like. The Guacamole glopped on top was very thin, almost pureed, and didn't have any of the salt or lime flavors you'd expect from a good guac. I'm under the impression that what little avocado they had had been tossed into a blender and cut with a few cups of water to bulk up the volume to help it last through the entire evening of orders. At most, the best thing I could say was that it was 'somewhat' edible. The chips felt and tasted like they had come from a bag as opposed to being freshly cut and fried in the truck. And those refried beans. Growing up, I had been taught that there were three stages of cooking and serving refried beans. From the final stage of drier beans with scraped pan bits of Manteca concentrated flavor, all the way up to the initial stage of runnier beans where all of the ingredients have been blended together. The Takobar beans didn't even come close to that first stage and were more like a soup. The flavor was ... kind of okay, but I'm pretty sure they had also been mixed with a lot of water to help them go further that night. The thin and liquid end result was something I could easily do a shot of out of their plastic cup. So, yeah ... Takobar was pretty terrible. I am really hoping that this was an off-night, caused by the pressures of catering an entire school's worth of kids and parents. Or maybe a new cook working with too little behind the counter. Regardless, as it was, I have to believe that the bulk of these high marks from people with just a few reviews under their belts are from friends and family. Going to have to go the tastier route and brave the street sashimi next time. A very low two stars from me.

From the start Will, who signed us up, was most helpful and really knew his information. We clicked instantly and it was such a pleasure to talk with him and meet him in person. We signed up for the tasting before signing with Abbey Catering and that was such a great experience. We got to meet Will in person and there was so much food to try and luckily bring home. After meeting Will we really had a great feeling and signed up within that week. The food was incredible at the tasting, and it was hard choosing which entrée and hours d'oeuvres to choose from since everything was so good. Chuck, our wedding coordinator, was beyond great and so helpful. He was such an asset to have on our side and really made the day go smooth. He was also so friendly and great to work with. We really felt like we made friends with our Abbey team There were absolutely no hiccups whatsoever and I was so calm the whole day. David, our catering lead, was another amazing team member. He was right there to offer us food first and make sure we had enough of our share. The rest of the catering team always made us a priority too and I was very hungry after the ceremony in between pictures so that was so great. We ordered the following for tray passed hors d'oeuvres: petite beef wellington, wild mushroom arancini, bruschetta, and bacon wrapped stuffed dates. We opted for the dual entrée of the boneless short ribs, and the panko-herb crusted chicken with vegetables and the truffle smashed potatoes. All were so good and I wish I could eat them all again Our guests could not stop raving about the food. They even made dietary restriction meals for several of our guests, and they said it was one of the best vegan/vegetarian meals they have ever had. We really were impressed with the food and so glad we went with Abbey as that was important for us to have really good tasting food. We opted for the whole package with their vendors for flowers, DJ, photographer, and cake. Best decision ever!!! We had Emerald and Ivy for the florist and my goodness Mishele, and the Abbey team put together exactly what I pictured in my mind! Such beautiful flowers and we rented bud vases and candles from her. DJ Abel from the Wedding Entertainment Collective was beyond amazing! He played our songs and knew the vibes we were going for. The dance floor was a hit, and our guests were dancing the whole night. Everyone was telling us the DJ was so good! Misha, our photographer, was amazing and made us feel so comfortable. The pictures are so beautiful! The cake and mini cupcakes from Sugar Bears Sweet Provisions were out of this world! I'm so glad we saved our wedding cake because we ate it the next day. Our guests loved the mini cupcakes too and we even had enough to give out at treats and take home. We really are so grateful we decided to go with Abbey catering. They really went above and beyond. The whole team, Will, Chuck, David, and the caterers were 10 out of 10 Thank you so much and to the Abbey vendors for making our day even more special!

He was so attentive, organized, and supportive, especially during the week of the wedding. He handled communication with all of our vendors, double-checked every detail, and honestly made my life so much easier. On the day of the wedding, my family couldn't stop raving about how amazing he was. Petr checked in on us throughout the night, made sure we always had what we needed, saved appetizers and champagne for us during cocktail hour, and made sure we never missed a moment. He genuinely cared, and it showed. As a bonus, he captured the most amazing candid shots of us throughout the day. Everything turned out perfect, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better coordinator or catering team. If you want a wedding that feels organized, supported, and stress-free, I highly recommend Abbey Catering. They were a dream to work with.
