    Chile Relleno
    Janet N.

    The chile relleno was pretty good! I liked the batter on the chile, and the salsa was delicious. Not too spicy either especially since the cheese balances it out. The rice and beans were just okay. Altogether a pretty good lunch and it was ready within 15 minutes

    Comfort food that's super ono and delicious. You'll be so happy, it's made with love and aloha from the aunties.

    I have visited Viva Jalisco several times now over the years, and the food is consistently great, and the service is always super friendly. I think I received the fastest service of my life today; they were on top of refilling chips & drinks and checking in often without being overbearing. Please come and show this family-owned business some love!

    $45 quesadilla
    Sage P.

    Worst service and pricing I have ever experienced in two decades of travel and eating out. Charged me $45 for a plain cheese quesadilla with rice and beans and ice water to drink. Manager was the server and was extremely rude and short. Do not come here if you want a good experience or any money left in your wallet. Modern day robbery.

    Chicken Enchilada
    Michaela D.

    Updating my review after going in-person. The last time the pork was a bit dry, but this time around I went for mainly chicken and that was fantastic. The food this time around was all top notch and the chips definitely seem to be made in-house. They were so nice and thin and crunchy with a delicious salsa alongside it. All the food was great, but the highlight was how quick and friendly the service was. Our waitress seemed to be the only one around and was on top of everything. The cook brought the food from the back and even room the time to refill my soda. Everyone working together for excellent service makes it well-worth going in for.

    Margarita! Soooo good.
    Gail H.

    I love this Jalisco's. A warm welcome always, and especially from the woman owner (how are you, my lady?), and the cozy, warm ambiance. Food is yummy. Our regular dish is chicken fajitas or chicken chimichanga. Always hot & tasty! But the best is the margarita!! So yummy and pack a punch. Get the "special" with the little bottle of Gran Gala liqueur!

    75% lettuce.

    Let's start with the good. I came in at lunch and it looked kind of busy. Only one waitress seemed to be on staff. She was great! And she was doing a good job handling all of her customers, so huge kudos to her! And the food came extremely quickly. I ordered the taco salad with picadillo and it tasted good. Now comes the not-so-great part. It was 3/4 shredded lettuce with some meat and a tiny amount of tomato and even less cheese on top. I left the vast majority of lettuce and the fried taco bowl. I was in and out in only about 15 minutes! BEWARE: This restaurant was VERY expensive! CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS TO THE RESTAURANT: *Lower your prices a bit *Font on your menu is tiny, it was very difficult to read. Otherwise menu was nice visually. *For your prices, your chips and salsa portion was very small. *Get rid of the fried shells for taco salad, those went out in the 1990's, and "make" the salads. Probably won't be coming back.

    We went in for lunch and luckily it wasn't too busy. The staff greeted us within minutes and were very friendly. They were patient with us as we took a while to decide. We decided to order from the lunch menu. I was shocked at the prices for brunch, appetizers and dinner, so we ordered from the seafood menu. To my surprise the seafood menu was reasonably priced so we went with that. My kiddo loves shrimp! The food was delivered within 15 minutes of ordering. The food was okay, nothing memorable where I would go back. I did enjoy the friendly atmosphere and I would go back just for that. It's worth taking a look.

    Ordered takeout from them over the weekend and while the quantity of food for one entree was great, the food lacked a lot of flavor. I ordered the combo with 4 items, and all of them fell apart little bland to the point where I ended up adding my own sauces or seasoning at home. The enchilada was definitely the best of the three, but the tostada and chalupa did not have much flavor.

I did order 50 assorted soft drinks and water which were $2 each. That seems reasonable. They should be ashamed of themselves. If anyone thinks I'm wrong please let me know.

From start to finish, my experience with this catering company was nothing short of excellent. Firstly, the communication and planning process with Mitchell was seamless. He helped me taper down my breakfast menu items to fit the number of attendees. I tend to order too much (it is better to have too much than not enough and run out), but he assured me the quantities he suggested for my group size were just the right amount of food. On the event day, the catering team arrived well in advance, set up everything beautifully, and was ready for our starting time right on the dot! The presentation of the food was elegant, showcasing their attention to detail. Communication along the way (the many emails I sent to ask questions) was promptly answered. The food was outstanding, and the catering staff were a delight to work with. Enrique was on time and professional and set it up just the way I requested. His attention to detail, from ensuring dietary restrictions were accommodated to the food place cards identifying each item. I highly recommend THE CATERING COMPANY! They are my number one go-to cater when I need a breakfast or a lunch set up. I like the convenience of checking their calendar online to see if the dates I want are available. They will exceed your expectations and leave your guests raving about the delicious food. Seed IP Law Group loves your catering company!

I liked that Danilo offered a suggested menu that I could add and subtract from. We had an evening event and the food arrived on-time. However, there was no warming trays. Nothing to keep the hot dishes warm, let alone hot. By the time the guests arrived, mingled and we started to eat - everything was cold. We did an assortment of heavy appetizers and there was no labels or menu provided so my guests would have had no idea what they were eating, whether the dish contained meat or not. So I had to scramble and send the menu to the venue, have them print and then cut apart and tape in front of each dish. Part of what I paid for was setup and tear down...only there was no tear down as everything was served in disposable trays. Overall, I was disappointed in the service at this price point.

The food tastes delicious but coordinating with their team was very stressful and unnecessarily so. Jade, their lead coordinator was extremely responsive, calling us every few days to check in with us when we're deciding on a catering company. As soon as we made our deposit she became impossible to reach and non responsive. I couldn't get confirmation of allergies and menus ingredients until less than a week before the wedding, making it a rush to print and have menus ready for the day of even though we had chosen a menu weeks before. My wedding planner and I had been reaching out for weeks previously to get an updated contract with updated head count from Jade but we didn't receive and updated contract until just days before the wedding day after finally getting a hold of Michelle their lead ops. On the day of. We booked Navi to help with table and chair set up and take down. I don't know if they helped set up as I was getting ready, but the left early and didn't take down tables or chairs, so I don't know know what we paid for. We asked for our salads to be pre-plated. They ran out of salads and 5 of our guests had to wait a very long time for food and didn't get any greens in their salad. We also booked bartending services. They promised they would work with us to come up with signature drinks, but no one ever reached out to us to workshop a drink. Instead had to send them a cocktail recipe and on the day of we realized they don't have any knowledgeable bartenders. We could have premixed the drinks ourselves and had them poured from a dispenser as that what we paid their bartender rate of $45/hr for. Navi said they were familiar working with Cort rentals. It's the company they said that they typically rent plates and silverware from but as part of their responsibilities they didn't sort or scrape the food off the silverware when it's a clearly labeled ask from Cort rentals right in the box you return them in. We were also told they they would pack left overs for us but none of our guests or us had received any left overs even though there were plenty. I was really disappointed in their professionalism. Food was delicious but coordination made working with them a major headache as a bride. If you do book with them. Do you best to work with Michelle or directly with chef Navi because if you don't have either of their eyes on things you might as well be coordinating with yourself.
