June 4-7 was the 2026 U.S. Women's Open in Los Angeles ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-riviera-country-club-pacific-palisades ). Golf is fun and all, but I'm more interested in what kind of food was served! M Culinary Concepts is one of the catering and event staffing partners for the tournament. There are 7 or so concession stands scattered around the Riviera Country Club. I saw chips, cookies, sandwiches, carbonated drinks, pulled pork sandwiches, and more. Prices are high, which is to be expected. Credit or debit card only. If you are a T-Mobile subscriber, stop by their tent and get a $20 food voucher to save money. At Hole 14, M partnered with Katsuya and brought Rock Shrimp Tempura ($23) and Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice ($26). You will also find Toma empanadas (1 for $9, 2 for $16). The private suites had access to more premium offerings, like shrimp cocktail towers and open bars. I believe each sponsor can customize their menu however they like (probably based on how much they are willing to pay). I was a cabana guest and had access to the hospitality area by Hole 18. There were two refrigerators stocked with bottled beverages that you can grab from anytime. The snack basket was also complimentary. Options are similar to the treats at the concession stands outside. Think Annie's graham crackers, Golden Peak sweet tea, Minute Maid, Planters trail mix, Miss Vickie's, Grandma's cookies, and other Frito-Lay or Coca-Cola products. Saturday breakfast consisted of breakfast burritos (choice of cheese or chorizo), overnight oats, and greek yogurt paired with a build your own parfait bar. Burritos were on the smaller side, but you can grab another one. The bar was not fully open, just coffee only. At 12PM they started serving lunch. Pasta was ordinary and there's not much to write about the chicken croissant sandwich. The salmon was tasty at least. For dessert, they had brownies and tarts. The final course was snacks at 3PM. There was a charcuterie board with cheese and crackers. Some sliders for light bites. And more desserts. Well it was a food-filled day to say the least! If I had to pay for admission, I probably would have eaten before arriving at the venue. It's too expensive otherwise. read more

Classless behavior on how they treat employees and contractors. They literally rip on clients, vendors and prospects behind their back. Catty immature and not worthy of hiring. Go someplace else read more

The food they catered at the Waste Management was tasteless and flavorless. The chicken tinga tacos were literally stinking. The other entrees lacked any kind of consistency and was lousy. This is the worst we have ever had over the last 5 years. Not sure why they cannot come up with exciting recipes to wow the crowd especially after paying through your nose for the 16th Hole. There was no desserts served either. For people with gluten free and dairy allergies, there is absolutely no accommodation. Very disappointing. read more

If I could leave a negative review I would. First and foremost I don't think anyone of color should ever use Culinary concept for any of their catering services. The company itself is unorganized, unprofessional and downright disgusting. One of the head chefs used provocative and degrading words towards a person of color during the work shift. The HR team did nothing about the situation, and for the victims that were uncomfortable by the words the head chef was using towards African-Americans. The company itself is OK with having head chefs use derogative degrading words towards their employees. As for the HR team and the CEO of the company when this came about, they heard no evil and seen no evil, and didn't want to make sure their other employees were OK mentally. read more

Great concession run by friendly folks. Tacos, tamales, nachos, and drinks. Made our Pinners Conference at Westworld so much better with their delicious and affordable plates. I had the tamale plate with one green corn and one red chili with beans and rice. Large lemonade. read more

See all

My street tacos were delicious!!! I had chicken, with pickled onions. The service was spectacular and the staff is very friendly. I got the tacos plate with beans and rice. The rice was fantastic. Their pickled red onions were my favorite. They have a huge selection, options from plates to single items. They had red salsa, tomatillo sauce and they both tasted homemade. I will find them again!!! read more

M Catering absolutely nailed it for my bestie's southwestern themed backyard rehearsal dinner. Their team could not have been more professional, were wearing gloves, masks, and taking all necessary safety precautions. They even brought out individual chips + salsa + guac plates for everyone. So cute! The meal itself was a chorizo stuffed chicken, with black bean puree, roasted corn, and charred brussels sprouts. Yum! For dessert, homemade churros with ice cream and a dipping sauce. Meals came out warm and covered (which isn't always the case for plated catered dinners)! I would highly recommend them for your catering needs! read more

M Catering did an amazing job with my wedding! They were professional from the beginning and gave us a wonderful tasting experience. I have a dietary restriction and all staff were aware of the restriction and were bringing me/offering only the food I was able to have and even brought me alternatives. I have had multiple guests tell me how impressed they were with the food and how delicious it was. I would 10/10 recommend! Thank you for the wonderful evening! read more

One word. Great! We have attended many catering events that they have put on from birthday party's to the Phoenix Open. Love it. read more

We recently chose M Catering for my daughter's wedding at The Croft Downtown. Upon selection of the venue, we were given several caterers on a preferred vendor list to choose from. After calling around to a few, we contacted M Catering. From the initial phone call, we felt confident in this company, their professionalism and the people employed by them. Several places we called were unorganized and sometimes "too busy" to answer our questions. M Catering never once made us feel like a nuisance and answered every question we had politely and thoroughly. We had the opportunity to go to an open house at our venue and taste a few of the caterers food. Once again, M Catering impressed. Their representatives were friendly and personable and their food couldn't be matched! It was TO DIE FOR! Based on all the experiences we had with M Catering, we made the confident decision to select them as the wedding caterer. We were so blessed to have been paired up with Noelle to help coordinate everything for my daughter's big day. I cannot say enough about this amazing girl. She was so sweet and so good at what she does. She has total knowledge in the foods and what goes into making them and complete confidence in the chef's that create the masterpieces. From helping us select a menu that was tasty as well as budget conscious, to assisting us with the alcohol provided to go with our menu, Noelle was AMAZING!!!! The day of the wedding went off without a hitch thanks to the venue and our catering company working so well together as a team. Noelle was present the day of making sure everything we requested was being carried out. I cannot say enough about this catering company! The service was UNBELIEVABLE! One of my biggest requests for my daughter's wedding was not wanting our guests waiting in lines for food and beverage. They had all of our 250+ guests through a buffet line and sitting down eating in 20 minutes. People raved to me about the quality of the food, the fluidity of keeping the lines moving and about the service they provided! As guests exited the ceremony space into the cocktail hour, they were greeted with servers holding trays of signature cocktails as well as pre-poured beer and wine. The service was equal to the food and both were OUTSTANDING in every way! I realize weddings and big events are expensive and have budgets. But if I can offer any advice it's to not skimp on the caterers. Your guests will remember how they were treated and how they felt more that any other thing from your big day. Hire a company that you KNOW will do the job they were hired to do and not have to worry about it being done right. I would recommend M Catering to anyone I can. They were that good! read more

Michael's catering handled the bar service for our wedding and we could not have been happier with their impeccable service! Their bartenders (Teri & Jerry I believe) were incredibly friendly and anticipated our needs before we could ask for anything. They kept our drinks and all of our guests drinks replenished at all times and everyone was extremely pleased by the great drinks, fabulous staff and lack of lines throughout the night. I could not recommend hiring their company more (I recently had their delicious food at a friends' wedding- and we were all raving at how amazing everything was). SO impressed and hope to drink and dine with them again very soon! They made our wedding very special and fun! read more
