I chose the Mexico City menu (fajitas, salad, sides) and added 5 delicious appetizers as well. They provided tables and linens and plates, glasses and utensils.

Never rushed us, picked up all used items thru out the party, packed up the left overs food in containers and checked in often with me to make sure all was well. I'd definitely use them again. Especially Ignacio.

I first discovered The Market's catering when Palo Alto Players (the theatre company down the…read morestreet) started using them for opening night receptions. The desserts and savories stood out as more handcrafted and gourmet than other similar caterers in the area, and the theatre staff were extremely complimentary about their helpful team, interesting selection, and reasonable pricing. I learnt that The Market also donated items to one of the nonprofit's fundraisers, and their real and continued support of the community is a huge plus in my book. Since then, I've used The Market for catering 3 times. The first was a mini platter that owner Emel custom-created based on my preferences, and the quality and variety--even at a small platter size--were a surprise and delight. I appreciated her meticulous and hands-on work, and this first order made The Market my go-to caterer. The other 2 times were recent, for 60-80 person events, and I worked with Paola for both. Though the platters seem much less customisable now (maybe it was only possible with Emel), it was a smooth and easy process to select from their online catering menu, which sufficiently and accurately described each item. Paola responded within 24 hours to the online order form and provided the opportunity to review the proposal before taking credit card payment over the phone. She is wonderful to work with: everything was timely, efficient, and reliable. Of note: the grazing board (high quality and luxurious), the raspberry bars (my absolute favourite--I hope they never stop making these!), and the fresh fruit platter (indeed fresh and ripe, elevated with surprising/exotic fruits). I've been glad to continue recommending The Market's catering service to friends. Note: at the moment, delivery of catering orders is not available on Sundays.

We had a mediocre experience with The Market catering…read more We struggled to get in touch with them to place our initial order for a small event. We sent multiple messages and voicemails that went unreturned for several days. Just as we were getting ready to change plans and look for a different vendor, we heard back (they had been out on vacation). We decided to still give them a try. (Note: the owner response below suggests that they responded within 24 hours, but that doesn't match our experience - I think this misunderstanding is due to the fact that two of us coordinating the event had reached out to the Market . My initial inquiry submitted on their website went unanswered, and so a couple days later my colleague tried to call and left a voicemail. Eventually my colleague was able to connect with them to place an order. I actually never received any response by phone or email.) The food arrived on time, but the delivery team forgot part of our order. We tried calling both of numbers on the invoice associated with the Market, but they both went right to voicemail. We eventually got a hold of the delivery team and received our missing item halfway through our event. The portions we received were very small compared to the description. For example, "32 tea sandwiches" seems like 4-5 normal sandwiches sliced into 6ths - wild to pay $2.25 for each tiny sandwich slice. The quality of the ingredients seemed mediocre for the price (e.g. the bread seemed like basic bagged sandwich bread, sliced into uneven rectangles). The chicken skewers - the most expensive item we got - were surprisingly small. "Watermelon feta skewers bites" were about a third green olives (not listed in the description) which our guests found unappetizing - we would not have ordered this item if that ingredient had been disclosed. Salad was 99% plain mixed greens (the amount we received runs about $6.99 retail for organic mix at a specialty store). On the whole, most things seemed like we could have gotten similar-or-better quality items for a quarter of the price through Whole Foods. The plating for items was nothing special - again, supermarket take-away platters look about the same. It's really hard to justify the price we paid for the items we received. All in all, we found the service, food quality, and presentation to be unimpressive and overpriced, and the communication/delivery snafus made our event prep more stressful. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but we were expecting more given the glowing Yelp reviews. Based on the experience we had, we'd recommend working with a different caterer.

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

Communication leading up to the event was consistent and clear and everything was outlined so we knew exactly what to expect. On the day of the event, Mark and Kathy arrived early with plenty of time for a smooth and professional setup. Kathy's setup with the plates and utensil and vegetarian corner were so well thought out! They came fully prepared and ready to serve some delicious bbq. We catered for around 60 people and selected the brisket, pork baby back ribs, alongside coleslaw, potato salad, and green salad. For our vegetarian colleagues, we selected the black bean burgers, which were a thoughtful and flavorful touch. A standout highlight was the brisket carving station, which was a total crowd pleaser. Mark's meticulous attention to detail and dedication to his craft really stood out. He refuses to compromise on quality by pre slicing brisket into trays. Instead, he carved it fresh on site and the taste speaks for itself. We received an overwhelmingly positive response from the entire team- both meat lovers and veggie eaters alike. From the service to the setup to the food itself, Love & Smoke exceed expectations. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!
