This caterer provided professional and great customer service from beginning to end. Their website is user friendly and one can easily build their party menu from what they have to offer. Jose and/or John responded quickly and frequently to our inquiries. We had to adjust our order a few days before our event and they accommodated so quickly. We exchanged confirmation emails at least 3 times and this really was reassuring as you never know if your vendor will show up and leave you hanging on your big day. BUT this did not happen. On the day itself, Maria and Samantha did a great job - they were punctual and ready to serve as the party started, courteous to our guests, and even packed the leftovers for us when the service period was done.  The set up was presentable and appreciated that they were very neat in handling the serving the food. As for the food, it was delicious - we had 4 kinds of meats and all the fixings (refer to their website). All our guests raved about how authentic and satisfying. WE even had their Sandia Agua Fresca which Maria shared she made. This should give you a clue that the food is freshly prepared. Compliments left and right and we felt we were treating our guests to a restaurant meal. Many of our guests returned several times. We felt we got our money's worth. We had more than enough food for the package we ordered. Price was VERY reasonable and we were glad to support our local business. If you are looking for a Taco Vendor - I highly recommend. Glad they were able to share their business card. Can't wait to use their service again in the future.

I got to the party late and was the last to eat and everything was still hot and fresh. I was a little late for the chicken, it had been devoured by the crowd by the time I got there. The carnitas looked super good but the fresh tub of carne asada was calling me and was recommended by our gracious hostess. I decided on two super fresh carne asada tacos that were handmade right in front of you, and added some rice on the side. It was very, very good. I thought their rice was excellent, mild tasting, the grains were cooked perfectly, still light and fluffy. I didn't have the beans but they looked good. The salsas were good too. I was impressed with the overall performance and would definitely hire them to cater a party.

BEWARE of this Taco Caterer!!! Not very reliable IMO. I found Ricos Tacos Doña Mari from here and…read moremade contact due to the high Yelp ratings and photos. Here's my story. I made contact with the business owner, Maria on 5/8/24 to cater a graduation event for 50 people to take place on 6/1/24. Maria provided me the cost of service and what it included (3 meats, rice, beans, 2 types of aguas, fresh churros and 2 hours of service). I accepted the service with a $100 deposit via Zelle. She sent me a picture of the written order. To me that was one less thing to take care of. I've used various services from Yelp and created services via text messaging with no problem. Approximately 7:45 pm on Friday, 5/31/24, LESS THAN 24 HOURS from my event, I received a text message from Maria, that she broke her ankle from an accident and can't serve my event, with pictures of her in what look like a hospital and her foot in a cast/boot. I get it, accidents happen, but when you're running a business, shouldn't you have a contingency plan? She could've found a replacement or had someone in her network to help her out. Her photos showed her and another person performing jobs, in some photos, other people working with her. This leads me to believe that she took a larger job worth more than mine and just dropped me! I was really looking forward to her service! I asked for her to return my deposit. Her last message was that she will do it tomorrow (which was Friday evening). It's been more than 3 days and I haven't seen my deposit yet. Since it was a Zelle transaction, it should be fairly easy to refund me, right? I eventually sent another message last night and no response. I see the message was READ. And still no response. So now I'm being ghosted. It's just $100, but if you're going to run a proper business, do it right. I'll absorb the loss at this point. Finding a Taco Caterer less than 24 hours from your event is almost impossible! Either they are booked or no one responds back. Luckily, I did find Jennio's Tacos and they were a Godsend! AND their tacos were delicious! Here are pictures of the business card, Maria in the hospital, her "message" and her injured foot. I don't wish any ill will towards anyone, but I think Maria could have handled this transaction with more professionalism. If you come across Ricos Tacos Dona Mari, think twice. Lesson learned: ask the vendor what is their contingency plan for accidents and such. Ask if they can cater multiple events at a time, if they can, they probably won't drop you and leave you hanging at the last minute. I guess I should be thankful she informed me cause it could've been worse (she could've not called and just not show up). And I'm very grateful for finding Jennio's Tacos. Not only did they come through but are top rated in their food and service.

My wife called me a Groomzilla... But I just tell her I like things done right…read more My wife and I got married last weekend at the Ocean Institute. Creative Cuisine was 1 of 3 of the catering companies that was approved for this venue. Since I'm the fatty in the relationship, the wifey put me in charge of putting together a custom menu and working with the caterers. I wanted to put together a menu that represented the both of us. I'm from Maryland and she's from San Francisco, so I wanted to do food that was from our regions of the US. Our major judging criteria was Maryland Blue Crab Cakes and San Francisco Style Cioppino. These guys nailed it. It was hard finding someone in California that can make a decent crab cake. Other places had too much breading/mayo or not enough seasoning. Their crab cakes were very light, sweet, and fluffy... probably one of the best crab cakes I've tasted. Perfect for a summer wedding by the ocean. The Cioppiono was also done very well. The broth wasn't too thick or tomato-y and it had high quality seafood. We went with Mussels, Clams, Halibut, and Scallops. Originally, we also had shrimp, but decided against it to lower costs and not overload our guests with too much shrimp (ie, shrimp cocktails). One of my concerns was how it was going to be put together. Marguerite assured me that the seafood would be steamed a head of time, portioned, and put together onsite. EXACTLY what I wanted to hear. The day of the wedding Marguerite and her team was already in place and working their magic. She really had everything under control and everything went smoothly. The bonus was that the original 7 oz ribeye steaks that I specified were MUCH bigger the day of. People literally had porterhouse steaks on their plates. They also threw in shrimp and lump crab meat in the Cioppino. The servers they had were clean cut and very professional. The bartenders were AWESOME. Jon Beck gave me great tips on how much booze to buy, what kind of mixers to bring, etc. Although I was expecting him to take tips, he was declining tips from my guests all night. (That really classed up the wedding, in my opinion). Overall, Creative Cuisine did a fantastic job. My only small complaint is that the final invoice was 2,500 more than the original estimate. Of course if they have to stay longer to clean up or something, I get that I need to pay overtime. However, I was told that the "menu was very complex". Shouldn't that have that been accounted for when I was given the estimate? I let it slide, since we got some extra freebies and the guests raved about how good the food and service was. A little about my credentials: I first got into cooking & food when I was in college. After being rejected by numerous girls and getting zero action, I decided it was time for a change. I needed a new makeover to boost my geeky, engineering image. I applied for a cooking position at a Mediterranean-Italian Restaurant near my home and learned to cook all sorts of pastas and dishes. I never became a professional chef, but I continue to enjoy & love food.
