A Tasteful Affair catered a lunch at my work and I have never been so impressed with the food and…read moreservice from a caterer. Even though the situation for them was less than ideal (our space is not the easiest to work within), they handled everything with aplomb! We had a beef and chicken option for proteins, and both were juicy and tender, and full of flavor! The asiago potatoes were my absolute favorite part, though the green beans with carrots were exceptional as well. I'm already married, but if I was planning a wedding, I would look no further than these amazing folks. In fact, if I know anyone in the area holding an event, I'll be suggesting them with complete enthusiasm, guaranteed. Just all around fantastic from start to finish. Way to go!

The decor and arrangements were good too but I would say they might look better indoors than outdoor. They had a lot of decor options to choose from. The only con I had was with the menu; it is not descriptive enough to understand the ingredients and meat. Since the names of the dishes are also very traditional, you are left guessing at what they are. I would say confirm what the dishes are/ ingredients to make sure they cater to your taste.

The Persian Chicken Kabobs are excellent. Between Santorini and Danville International Market I think Diamondbite's has the juiciest by far. Grilled to perfection. For the ground meat kabobs, I can only recommend the Beef version. The ground chicken was dry and overly seasoned - salty to the point of being inedible. The saffron rice is also good, though some more oil would be nice. They also offer extreme contrast of flavors - a side of pickled cabbage that's really tart and a single jalapeño pepper that's spicy for me. Definitely plan to try some of their other offerings. They ran out of Aush Resteh last time so it'll be something to look forward to forward too.

We hired Henry for a birthday party for a group of family and friends (around 70 people, including…read morekids), at the park this weekend, and he did a fantastic job! It was so convenient to have someone else take care of all the shopping, prepping, and cooking. Our guests loved the food. Many took home business cards. Henry was so easy to work with, my wife and I were wondering if we missed any important planning steps. Haha. It took just a few emails to get a quote, secure the date, and finalize the menu. Henry and his son showed up at the park exactly when he said he'd be there, and the food was cooked on premise, exactly on time. Henry sources all the ingredients from Costco and buys everything needed the day before. I'm a huge fan of all things Kirkland. Always solid quality and value. I've been pretty lazy about writing Yelp reviews lately. Figured I'd write one for Grillaxin since many of the other reviews are years old, and the website seems to be defunct. I think they're more active on Instagram now.

Wow... Hosted an…read moreevent with about ~115 people. While I was unfamiliar with ordering food for a large number of people, Priscilla helped recommend the amount of food for the requirements, "I don't want to run out of food during the event" and "we love desserts". Another side note: I was catering snacks rather than a meal. I ended up ordering - tri-tip - mashed potatoes - roasted veggies - assorted bread - lemon garlic salmon - veggie garlic pasta - Greek salad - dinner rolls - fresh fruit display - fresh fruit tarts - petit fours - gluten free mini cupcakes: red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, lemon I appreciate that Priscilla suggested to halve the salmon fillets to have double the number of salmon pieces for guests to have snack portions rather than meal portions. Although mini cupcakes were not listed on her menu, she was able to provide them. Also, you can ask her about gluten free desserts. You can have more than just macarons. Compliments I received... "Did you make the food? The salmon and tri-tip were so juicy." "This is better than most wedding food." 2 people inquired who I used to cater for the event. I received general praise that the food was good. I received explicit praise that the petit fours and fruit tarts were good. The mashed potatoes were thick but good. Passion for catering's setup and tear down went smoothly. It was maybe 20-30 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of tear down. I appreciate that they were able to provide decor for the food tables. They also provided some takeout containers for us to take leftover food. 10/10 would cater from them again.

I don't even know where to begin... Priscilla absolutely blew me away! My graduation party was a…read moretotal surprise, planned by my brother, and the food was one of the biggest highlights of the day. Every single dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with so much love and care. You can tell she puts her heart into her work. From the small details to the bold flavors, everything was thoughtful and intentional. Guests are still talking about how amazing the food was ...and trust me, we're a tough crowd to impress! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also kind, professional, and easy to work with. If you're looking for a caterer who brings soul to the table and takes pride in her craft, Passion for Catering is it! I'm so grateful to have experienced her work and will absolutely be recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you for making such a special day even more unforgettable. You truly outdid yourself!

I recently hired SImple Elegance for our first holiday party in our home and it was the best decision ever. I worked with Amber, who was lovely - super on top of all communication and very patient with all of my questions leading up to the event. She arrived on time for set-up, and brought the most delicious food for our event with perfect little signs and menus for our guests. We served appetizers at 5pm and dinner at 6pm, and Amber assured me that the food would stay warm for both courses on the sternos and equipment provided and she was absolutely right. The food was warm for HOURS at the party, which made everyone want to go back for 2nds and 3rds. They make clean-up so easy too where all you have to do is empty out the equipment and make sure there isn't any food inside, no washing or rinsing required. Portions were super generous and the food was sooo yummy. We have a bunch of really good chefs in our friend group and honestly, everyone was super impressed. My favorite items on the menu were the fiesta chicken endive salad, loaded potato bites, pretzel bites, goat cheese and sundried tomato crostinis, chicken breast in sundried tomato sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, and the pan seared tenderloin tips (basically our whole menu LOL). We also had a kids menu with butter noodles, fruit, and bread, and at the last minute (a few days before the event) I asked Amber if she could add in a hot cocoa bar for the kids. She brought the cutest little toppings for the hot cocoa bar including peppermint spoons to stir in the hot cocoa - a huge hit with the kids! Will absolutely be hiring Simple Elegance for future events and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs an incredible caterer!

Awesome food and great service!…read more Some friends catered from Vatos Tacos for a pre-wedding luncheon for some friends in their backyard. The mom and uncle of the owner showed up early to set up and start cooking. They were professional, kind, and very friendly. I was stoked that they cooked everything fresh on site and didn't just have food in warmers. We got to choose among proteins and veggies, and the salsa bar was awesome. Kids and adults alike really enjoyed the churros too! They boxed up all leftovers after the event, so we ate tacos for leftovers and froze a bunch too for later. The only thing one of my friends said was that paying extra for salad wasn't worth it because the salad was just from a bag. Everything was delicious, and I ate too much! I highly recommend Vatos Tacos for your catering needs!

Not really a food truck though, since he sets up all the cooking and serving areas outside, so you can see everything he's doing. It's very simple: chose an entree like quesadilla or tacos, choose filling (protein or veggies), and then sides like salad or beans. He does it all as you watch, and what I loved the most was the grilled vegetable option, which had so much flavor. Thank you for supporting both SPARC (Shakespeare and Performing Arts Regional Company) at our fundraiser at 3 Steves Winery, and for the recent Drag Trivia Yelp event!

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
