Rafael's is a Vallejo staple. I threw a birthday party recently and the majority of my guests said…read more"This is Rafael's. Everyone knows them!" That alone says a lot about their reputation. From the moment Frankie and I spoke, the entire process was easy and stress-free. They were great to work with, the setup and breakdown were seamless, and we had more than enough food to feed 120+ guests, with plenty left over. Having Rafael's handle the catering allowed me and my party helpers to focus on everything else instead of worrying about the food. I don't know when I'll be hosting another party this big, but when I do, Rafael's will be my first call. Thank you Rafael's Catering for helping make her day so special!

The ordering process is simple, the team is efficient, portions are LARGE and they make it easy to modify items, pricing quotes, etc. Delivery and pick up has always ran smooth and the team will assist in packing up all leftovers because there definitely will be plenty. They have delivered to a hall as well as our home, they've set up in our backyard and inside our dining space. They stay communicative with delivery and pick up times, updates and ETAs of arrival. I'd have to say that by now, we have ordered every item on their menu - including the lechon, and we've gotten great feedback from family & friends. Rafael's has set the bar pretty high for quality of food and service. I recommend them to anyone that is planning to host a party and does not want the hassle of cooking, setting up, etc.

I was so busy during the wedding that I actually didn't get a chance to try the food myself, but afterward I received so many compliments from our guests about how good the tapas were. That alone told me we made the right choice. The delivery was also right on time, and everything arrived still super hot and ready to serve, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, the food was a hit with our guests, and I would definitely recommend Havana Catering for an event.

We had them for a few parties over the years and this review should have come much sooner!! Call them as soon as you know you're having a party because my guess is that they get booked, they're that good! Orchata, carrots/onions, jalapeño peppers, plentiful sides. We will definitely use their services again sooner than later.

The lady who took my order was super nice but I do have to warn you the prices are a little steep. $8 for 1 bbq skewer? I didn't try this but I did try: 1. Mexipino lumpia (birria lumpia?) - This was delicious and less messier to eat than a taco. It had the same great flavors. $15 for 4 pieces cut in half was steep but it did hit the spot at the event. 2. Cali drip - I was excited to try this. I'm a big fan of calamansi. Sadly, this disappointed me. It was all sugar and less tart. It reminded me of the sugary kool-aid my aunties and uncle's used to make. It's like when you buy an alcoholic beverage and it has no alcohol. I'd love to give this place another try and maybe try the bbq sticks.

We ordered the waffle churros with added fried chicken ($19). It was really good though i wish the waffle was a bit crispier on the outside. The syrup was very thick like honey! We also ordered the breakfast burrito with avocado and chorizo (added cost so it became $20). I really liked the chorizo, they grilled it so it was a tad crisp, and loved that it wasn't very salty. We also ordered the meat (chicken) handmade pie. The filling was generous, the crust though i wish it was a bit more flaky and crisp. This was just ok. Their latte and chairs latte were good too. Food came out about 15+ minutes after we placed the order. Restroom was reasonably clean and overall ambiance and decor of the eatery were inviting. We Certainly will done here again and definitely the chicken and waffle.were our favorite from what we ordered today.

I'm an admitted BBQ snob, having lived in the Deep South for many years- this is the best BBQ I've had anywhere in Northern California. I'm trying to think of an excuse to have a party so we can get FlavorTrain to BBQ for it!
