What makes a great reception and wedding day, food and the bar... Buckboard was a true highlight…read morefor my husband and I, and our guests! The food? Absolutely unforgettable. Every course, from the appetizers to the main courses, was incredible and beautifully presented. Many of our guests reached out about how it was simply such good food. One of our deciding factors was the fact that Buckboard is actually a restaurant here in San Diego, so their food was not just "wedding food" but actually restaurant quality. We fell in love instantly after our tasting. Knowing they are a local San Diego restaurant gave us so much confidence in food quality, and they absolutely delivered. Their service on the day of our wedding was seamless. It felt like everything was handled effortlessly, which allowed us to enjoy the day stress-free. My husband and I planned our wedding on our own and one of the biggest reliefs for us was that Buckboard took care of so many details - from linens, plates, and bar service to the propane for the heaters. Having one point of contact for everything was a great aspect. We truly didn't worry about their services at all day of. Buckboard's familiarity with our venue was another huge plus. They worked in perfect harmony with the venue staff. And as a same-sex couple, we were deeply touched by how welcomed and respected they made us feel throughout the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend Buckboard Catering for their incredible food, great service, and outstanding communication. They made our wedding day not just special, but unforgettable. Thank you, Buckboard, for everything, you're truly the best!

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.

Amazing experience with Chef Diego, who came early to set up and cater our small dinner party…read more Planning the menu was very easy and Flavor Chef folks were super responsive. We had not anticipated such an amazing experience given it was for a small dinner party (10 ppl) versus a big event like a wedding or retirement party. The appetizers were amazing and dinner was perfect. We will definitely be coming back for any future needs. Everyone in our dinner party loved the food and the experience. Basically, we are all super fans!

I booked Hawaiian Brian's Catering for a celebration of life for my mom and was impressed from…read morestart to finish. Brian is very friendly and professional and is willing to work with you as a client. His prices are also really competitive, which helped our budget (not that the food tastes budget at all!) I was able to take parts of his regular menu and turn them into appetizers, which he and his staff served separately and were well-prepared to do. For those interested, we had mixed fruit and lumpia trays with spicy sweet and sour sauce. Our mains were Kalua pig with cabbage, Hawaiian BBQ chicken, pancit, macaroni salad, and an Asian garden salad. I was getting compliments left and right (not that I deserved them- Brian and his cooks and servers did) about the quality of the food. Everything was delicious (especially the meats- oh my goodness the slow cooked pork and the flavors on that chicken!) I saw a few guests clutching his business cards as they left like they wanted to keep him as their own little secret. I hadn't sampled the food before booking and was going on faith, but I'm glad I chose the caterer that I did. I was the sole event organizer, and I really liked that Brian made a point to contact me at least twice leading up to the event to confirm and hash-out every detail of the event's proceedings. I was also thankful that Brian made a point to find me and insist myself and my father (the other focus of the event) eat some plates he had made for us. We felt less like customers and more like family. Highly recommended. These guys will leave you fat and happy.

We've used Taquizas José for three years in a row now for our daughter's birthday party in our…read morebackyard, and they always are wonderful to work with. Most recently, they came out last Saturday and served our 50 guests with ease. Everything from communication to set up and clean up is easy and smooth. Their email response time is always incredibly fast and they make booking so efficient and quick. They are also very transparent about pricing and very reasonable in their pricing. They also offer discounts and sales often and often give a cash discount when paying too. Our guests always rave about the food and they are the only taco company we know of that offers fish tacos as an option. We also love that they offer more unusual items such as grilled veggies and churros. We highly recommend Taquizas José for your next event.

This is your sign to book with Taquizas Jose! Awesome food and a super communicative, professional…read morestaff. From the moment we inquired to the day of the party, we received several emails confirming the location, setup area, menu, and guest count. I had zero concerns about their ability to execute the plan, and I especially appreciated their 48-hour final confirmation. Our guests (95 total) raved about the food. We ran out of beef a little earlier than expected, but our people do love to eat and appreciated that the staff didn't skimp on portion sizes. I think my guests took "all you can eat" seriously--LOL. My only suggestion would be to let Taquizas Jose know if your group loves to eat, as you may want to factor that into the amount of meat they bring. We've been feasting on leftover beans, rice, and tortillas this week--thoroughly enjoying it. Safe to say no one left hungry, and we're still enjoying it days later. 10/10 would (and hope to) book again for any event!

Outstanding Food and Exceptional Service!…read more We used Bekker's Catering for our son and daughter-in-law's wedding, and they did a fantastic job from start to finish. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed everything. The Bekker's team was also wonderful. The staff was friendly, professional, attentive, and very accommodating. They were flexible with our requests and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. Most importantly, the bride and groom were thrilled with their menu choices and with the entire experience. Bekker's helped make their wedding reception exactly what we had hoped for. We were so happy with everything and would definitely recommend Bekker's for a wedding or any special event!

They impressed me with their professional service, especially around the hors-d'oeuvres, which they passed frequently. No need to wave to them from across the room. Their pacing of the different platters was perfect. The food at that event also stood out above anything else I'd ever eaten from a catering firm. Our event was no different in every regard. The staff moved efficiently through the room, serving, then clearing. I couldn't believe we could get out of there with a clean venue as quickly as we did. I particularly appreciated the help we received transporting food and wine to our cars. A job very well done. Special thanks to our coordinator, Kimberly, for facilitating connections with the florist and wine merchant.

Thank you so much, and special thanks to Mary for being such a thoughtful and considerate host for us. I truly appreciated you!

He was on his way home from a job site and spotted the market, so he stopped in. We were all glad that he did. The carne and the pollo were both excellent. Seasoned perfectly, both were fresh with great flavor. They grilled up very nicely and made for some excellent tacos. The tortillas (flour and corn) were also from Food Farm Market, and they were fresh and tasted homemade. When I'm looking for quality meats in the future, I will be sure to remember Food Farm Market.
