Every first Tuesday of the month, Manny and his team cater for my job. We look forward to his delicious tacos, and it makes us very happy. He grills fresh carne on-site, as well as fried fish tacos. I enjoy getting the beef mulitas sandwiched between two cheesy tortilla. His beans are popular in the office! When we don't get beans, we cry. He literally has the best tacos and sides on the planet. I wish he had a restaurant where we could eat every day. If you're looking for a caterer for your next company or event, I highly recommend Manny!

We had three days of meetings at work and to my surprise the lunch on the first day was catered by tacos by Manny. The choices were beef or chicken tacos flour or corn tortillas. He had grilled onion and zucchini at the front and I side "fixings" area that had sooooooo many choices. I just wanted everything on my plate! They had several types of salsa, guacamole, onions, cilantro, radishes, pickled spicy carrots, cucumbers and I'm sure I am missing something. Oh yeah! Sour cream. Everything was delicious and seasoned very well. Believe it or not I thought the zucchini was amazing. I highly recommend Manny for your catering needs. He knows what he is doing!

I went to my friends bridal party and she had hired Manny for her party. Manny was great and the food was on point! I got his information so I could hire him in the future. Three weeks later I hired Tacos by Manny for my sons birthday party. He told me they would take approximately 45 mins- 60 mins to set up. They showed up at 12 and weren't ready to start serving until 1:30. This wouldn't be a huge deal if the party is 5-6 hours long but for a party that is only from 12-3 it's a big deal as I didn't have a lot of appetizers anticipating that food would be served shortly after the party started. I was disappointed in the quality of the meat, I kept getting giblets/fatty chewy pieces. How embarrassing!!! I spent over $5000 on my party and to have cheap meat served to my guests is the ultimate embarrassment. Also they quickly ran out of chicken!!! I even had less guests than I had mentioned to him and they ran out of chicken immediately..what the heck!! That's crazy when chicken and beef tacos were the only options that I was serving my guests. I was told there would be enough to serve each guest 5-7 tacos...most of my guests had 2-3..how did they run out of chicken? Also I do not eat pork and stated I did not want any lard in the beans or for anything to be cooked with lard. Manny confirmed they would not be using lard. Embarrassingly enough, my sister in law asked if the beans they were serving had lard and they confirmed it did.. Talk about disappointing!!! I have a screenshot confirming that manny said no lard below: Also Manny didn't show up to serve my guest, it was another crew he had sent..I was expecting for him to come as he was great at my friends party..I was surprised to see unexpected faces..l

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!

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!

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!

She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

They handled an outdoor mixed station and tray pass party for over 100 people like absolute pros. Their entire staff was friendly, professional, and warm throughout the planning and service. Best of all, the food was DELIGHTFUL. Our guests were blown away by their tasty bites (we are still getting positive feedback nearly a week later) - especially the Lamb Lollipops, Fried Chicken Biscuit sliders, and OMG the fried artichoke hearts.... absolutely delicious (@Billy please give me the recipe hehe), even our meat lovers were obsessed with them. All of it was fantastic and they made the whole event a total hit. They left our kitchen spotless at the end of the night and sent a lovely follow up email the next day. These are good people with big talent for food. The bar was also fabulous and made our hosting easy as pie. We will be using them again and again and I recommend you do too. Cherry on top - they are WAY more affordable than everyone else who quoted us. Thank you Four Seasons!!!

Quality imagination presentation --…read more Four Seasons Food Catering is owned by the marvelous duo Billy Burd and Sierra Ridenour-Burd. They make an amazing team. They catered a party for us at the The Thursday Club in Point Loma in March and dazzled everyone. When we were trying to choose a caterer we were attracted to Four Seasons by the imaginative and creative flair of Chef Billy Burd's cuisine and by their very positive reviews. One thing that caught our attention about the reviews was that many of them were fairly long. Apparently reviewers were not satisfied to give 5 stars and a paragraph of praise, they really wanted to testify. They felt that Four Seasons was special and they were motivated to let you know just how special. After experiencing Four Seasons catering service we can understand that sentiment. The culinary experience Four Seasons provided was marvelous. The dishes were imaginative, taste tempting, and a delight to the eye. Guests loved the appetizers that were passed: shrimp wrapped in basil and pancetta, mushrooms with escargot, parmesan crusted artichoke hearts. The stationary display had a choice assortment of cheeses and a selection of cold seafood that included jumbo shrimp, smoked salmon, ahi poke, and a sashimi platter all beautifully presented. Suffice it to say the buffet was equally spectacular. Chef Billy takes pride in the quality of the products he sources. The filet mignon for example was gorgeous. The shrimp served in the seafood display were so tasty that they made you stop and take notice. This was a once in a lifetime kind of party for us so we pulled out the stops when we were choosing items for the menu. It's very much to Billy and Sierra's credit that part of their response was to say that and they would be happy to offer some more budget friendly variations. We appreciated their inclination to work with clients to find good solutions to their needs. We enjoyed meeting with Chef Billy one time early in the planning process, but other than that, all the planning and coordination was handled by Sierra. She is fantastic and a pleasure to work with. She gave us recommendations on the initial approach to the menu, on down to details like the serving schedule, linens, and the table floor plan. We communicated mostly through email which was very productive because her emails, besides being congenial, were always clear and complete. And it was amazing how quickly she would reply, usually the same day. When it came to the final week before the party and it was time to summarize all the various emails and discussions Sierra nailed it, she recapped everything perfectly. The Four Seasons staff were wonderful. During the set up time they operated like clockwork. During the party they could not have been more charming and gracious. This is another major point to Billy and Sierra's credit. It takes care and effort to assemble a team of this quality--a group of individuals who interface harmoniously not only with the guests, but with each other, and with other vendors such as the florist. The whole event flowed thanks to the staff. When you are planning a special event you hope to create a joyful and memorable experience for all your guests. Four Seasons is a caterer with an amazing combination of culinary artistry and service craft. Choose Four Seasons as your caterer and you can't go wrong.
