I was looking for a caterer for a small {50 guests}wedding. After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

Taco's El Chove (Jose) - Thank you for the great food at…read moreour birthday event! My cousin and I celebrated our 50th birthday last night 12/30. We had 45-50 people at the party. We knew we wanted a "Taco guy" but we did not have any referrals or suggestions. I looked on Yelp and found Tacos El Chove. As I read the positive reviews, I took the chance and hired him. Jose was fairly priced, highly responsive, and his tacos were excellent! Jose made carne, chicken, and pastor proteins, rice, beans, and aqua fresco. Again, the food was excellent. In fact, the business where we had our event is interested in hiring Tacos El Chove for their future events. Long story short - if you are searching for a "taco guy" and run across Tacos El Chove in Yelp. Trust the reviews (like I did), trust my review and book Jose! David

She helped me customize the perfect menu for our smaller party, and I appreciated her flexibility in adding last minute add-ons. Best of all, Ilona created the most beautiful catering table for the event and she truly took our "cutie" citrus theme to heart. All of our guests loved the food (especially the chicken and waffles!) and wanted to know who catered the party. I rarely do Yelp reviews anymore and this wasn't even requested, but Bits and Bites deserves the praise and more than 5 stars!

Luckily Ilona had a great menu of items for us to choose from to design a perfect brunch birthday. She brought everything for the setup (except the table/linens), plates, flowers, tier trays, etc... Not only did she set up the table perfectly everything tasted wonderful. Everyone couldn't stop raving about how beautiful and delicious everything was. Looking forward to hosting another party with Ilona!

Wow!! What a wonderful caterer. First, I had the greatest experience working with Andy and his…read morelovely wife. Such nice people. I really appreciate their professionalism and attention to detail. Andy even came before the event to scope out the space and do a dry run. Second, the food was amazing! We had a work event for 275 people. I continue to hear from coworkers how good the food was. You must order the roasted pig- the star of the show. We also had the island style fish and huli huli chicken. Highly recommend both. Loved the sides and the dessert was amazing! I could eat the banana bread with chocolate chips and coconut butter mochis every day. Yum. Thanks again for an amazing event!

Out of a 5 star rating, I would give 100 !!! Kalei's Kitchenette, I can not thank you enough for…read moresuch a caring and personalized service, INCREDIBLE food, and new friendships made. I originally wanted them to cater my wedding and while we didnt quite go that direction, I loved them so much and wanted to support them so badly that I circled back with them for my DREAM rehearsal lunch. I had a crazy idea that I wanted to do a kamayan style lunch to celebrate my Filipino heritage and they were not only super onboard but even brought the flowers to bring it to life (unexpected and almost made me cry lol). Garlic Chicken, Lechon , Lumpia , Veggie Medley , Garlic Rice, Pancit - it was all SO GOOD. My family and friends told me they were drooling over it like 10 times before we could even give our thank you speech to start the meal - and once eaten, everyone RAVED and also kept asking where the food was from (which of course I raved about back). A huge mahalo to Khara who has been the sweetest soul and rock to lean on when bringing the vision to life , Morgan who stepped in with administrative coordination, Chef Andy of course for the DELICIOUS meal(s), and the whole Kalei's Kitchenette ohana. This will not be the last of me, my family, or my friends , so until next time! Thank you so much again!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Adriana's Cocina and Catering! Adriana helped cater a…read morehousewarming baby shower for us, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. Adriana herself is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and patient. She worked closely with me to make sure the menu accommodated the dietary needs of a very diverse group of guests, which I truly appreciated. She made the planning process so easy and stress-free. The food was absolutely delicious! We had a fantastic variety of dishes--from flavorful fajitas to savory meatballs--and everything was a hit with our guests. Adriana also prepared beautiful veggie and fruit platters that were just as impressive visually as they were fresh and tasty. On top of that, the portions were extremely generous, which we really appreciated. The staff who came to set up were equally wonderful. They were meticulous, organized, and took the time to clearly explain how to heat and serve everything so the food would be perfect throughout the event. If you're looking for catering for any event, I highly recommend Adriana's Cocina. The quality of the food, the professionalism, and the care Adriana puts into her work truly stand out. I plan to work with her for all of my future events--five stars honestly isn't enough. I would give more if I could!

We chose Culinary Kitchen for our recent wedding in Julian, CA this past June and my husband and I…read moreare incredibly thankful that we got to work with Ashley and JP for our big day! Food and catering service were some of our highest priorities to get right during our wedding and Culinary Kitchen was phenomenal every step of the way. Our communication with Ashley and and JP before, during, and after the wedding was exceptional. From the very beginning, Ashley was very responsive and regularly checked in with us, which helped me feel less overwhelmed by all the catering decisions we needed to make. I tend to err on being extremely detail oriented and I asked tons of questions early on. Ashley was so patient and thorough with each email I had sent over even before booking. Before choosing our caterer, we did 3 different wedding caterer tastings and Culinary Kitchen easily was the best of all three (we're still thinking about the gochujang meatballs and the cavatappi pasta with fennel sausage!!). On our wedding day, the food service ran seamlessly and our guests often commented on how good the food was (guests were actually trying to sneak chicken tenders off the kids plates because even the kids meals were so good). Their team also helped us serve our desserts, did our bartending, and rented/placed all of our table settings, all at very reasonable prices as part of the entire catering package. The team also went above and beyond to accommodate all of our guests' special dietary needs while still helping us stay within budget and recommending a cohesive menu. One last thing - we did A LOT of research on different San Diego caterers before our wedding (I think we sent out inquiries to at least 10 other caterers) and Culinary Kitchen's catering packages felt the most "upscale" and comprehensive without leaving us feeling nickel and dimed for every line item. I truly felt like their team was on our side the whole way. THANK YOU Culinary Kitchen for catering our wedding day!! We wish you guys the best of success!

We did everything by email with Cassie in the beginning. We had a hard time choosing the food because the options were vast - like overwhelming almost. I finally chose "stir fry" because it was vegetarian and we also got a chicken option and some appetizers like salmon and charcuterie. The apps were delicious. The "stir fry" however was not. It was underwhelming to say the least. And it was so much food I felt like it was really thrown together. Soggy veggies. Limp ramen. I asked for pictures ahead of time so I could see what I was getting but nope they don't have pictures of their own food. Weird. The best part was Blanca who dropped off and picked up everything. She was really nice and helpful. Cassie the owner never reached out to confirm the party ahead of time and worse - didn't call to see how everything was afterward. This was over $1000 I spent on food for 24 people!!! I wish I had just gotten chipotle honestly. Pic is of the charcuterie that Blanca put together. People liked it and the mushroom purses too.
