    Aracely S.

    Where do I start?! She's so AMAZING in every way and she was lovely from the moment I met her which started with the food tasting. She walked in very professional and did her thing we even managed to get in a few laughs with my crazy friend and my mom and step dad. She adjusted the menu as we tasted and I mentioned to her that my now husband was a super foodie and that I really was judging for him...I know right!? "no pressure" My husband last minute could not make the tasting because he had to work so we were being critics in his honor. Anyways that day she asked me how much time I would need and how many tasting I was having? and I said a few more lol but I already knew I would go with her and did not need to do any other tastings. She was great to communicate, easy to pay, she worked with my budget while still having incredible quality in food. She is so sweet and his this wonderful calming vibe about her that just makes you feel at ease. Okay so let's skip to the wedding day. The lovely staff brought the bridal party appetizers during cocktail hour since we were on the other side taking pictures, so she made sure she fed us too and we got to enjoy everything. Then she started the buffet and everyone was loving the food (see photos attached) beautiful set-up, the chicken was to the perfect temp ( she undercooked it so it wouldn't dry out while on the buffet table). Her and her staffed helped with all the cleaning and cake cutting services and packed everything up for me. Every time I looked around I saw her around helping out and that was just beyond any of my expectations. My day of coordinator went out of her way to tell me that it was a pleasure working with her and her staff. All of my next events that need catering will definitely be through her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my long awaited 10-year dream a reality. Oh and cute note, she even packed the leftover food in containers and wrote on them, Congratulaions Jonas and Stephanie. " Cute touch" We happily ate her leftover food all week. :)

    Chef Jessie doing what she does best!

    From beginning to end, exceptional service and product!…read more I'm from out of town and needed to plan an after funural gathering with food and had no idea where to start! Scott responded within a few hours and was available to talk it through, suggest ideas and accommodate any and all guidelines we provided. He was quick in his responses and quote and even late night questions all while we had less than 2 days to plan and execute! On the day of the team was early and set up a beautiful spread. They were very friendly, kind, professional and caring. The food was delicious! They walked around to make sure everyone had everything they needed and even provided full service on putting together the perfect bagel bite with all the toppings. They packed up all the leftovers and cleaned up so we didn't have to do a thing! We could not have asked for a better experience! They provided a fully kosher spread and knew how to work within a kosher kitchen. Truly appreciate having the process be so easy and smooth on such a hard day.

Beyond that Scott does a great job hosting and making your guests feel welcome and cared for, he left a memorable impression on everyone. We will use for our future catering needs.

    I hired Unicos Tacos Catering for my sons birthday gathering. I called Manuel for a quote and he…read morewas very friendly and gave me all of the options available. The process was smooth and stress free. The day of, Sergio arrived to set up exactly on time, he was also very professional and friendly. I ended up needing an extra hour so I called Manuel and he agreed to it for an extra fee which was totally fine. The food, veggies, salsas were 10/10 Service 10/10 I will definitely be hiring them again for future gatherings/parties!

    Unicos Taco Catering / Manuel -- Extremely Disappointing Experience…read moreI contracted with Unicos Taco Catering, specifically Manuel, to provide a Taco Tuesday lunch for approximately 60 nurses on the final day of Nurses Week 2026. This was meant to be a special celebration for hardworking hospital nurses, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing and stressful. Before booking, I had a detailed 20-30 minute conversation with Manuel. I clearly explained that this event was taking place inside a hospital and that no cooking would be allowed on-site. I told him the food would likely be served in a patient room or break room area, and the only thing that could be done on-site was warming tortillas on an electric griddle. I also explained that because the nurses would be on duty, they would be coming in and out over a two-hour serving window, so keeping the food warm was very important. Manuel assured me multiple times that this would not be a problem. He stated that everything could be prepared at his location, transported to us, and kept warm in chafing dishes. Based on those assurances, I felt comfortable signing the contract and sending a $200 deposit. On the day of the event, Manuel's worker arrived at 12:07 p.m. for a 1:00 p.m. service time with a large outdoor propane grill and raw meat. I immediately explained again that this was a hospital and there was absolutely no way they could cook on the premises. The worker called Manuel, and Manuel acknowledged that this was not what we had agreed upon. He then said he would cook the food elsewhere and still get it to us by 1:00 p.m. Shortly after that, the worker began asking whether we had a loading dock, driveway, or outside plaza area where he could cook the meat. I repeatedly told him no and reminded him that this was not what I contracted them to do. After speaking with Manuel again, the worker told me, "I'm sorry. We can't do it." At that point, I had 60 nurses expecting lunch in less than an hour. I was forced to scramble and order pizza at the last minute. The worker attempted to leave, but I requested my $200 deposit back first. After waiting, I sent Manuel a Venmo request for the refund. I later learned that he only refunded $100 of my $200 deposit. During the worker's departure, he indicated that Manuel knew the plan was to find somewhere on-site to cook the meat, despite Manuel previously assuring me that the food would be prepared off-site. That made the situation even more frustrating. Since the taco lunch could not be provided, I asked whether we could at least keep the chips and guacamole that were supposed to come with the package. The worker apologized and also left rice, beans, onions, cilantro, and salsa. However, we were missing the two main items needed for a taco lunch: the meat and tortillas. I did not request to purchase rice and beans for $100, and had I been asked, I would have declined. When I later contacted Manuel about the remaining $100, he stated that he was keeping it for the rice and beans. I explained that I did not agree to that, especially since he was the one who failed to fulfill the contract. He told me he would send the remaining $100, but he never did. He then repeatedly hung up on me and ultimately blocked my calls. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. Manuel failed to provide the service we agreed upon, created unnecessary stress on what was supposed to be a celebration for nurses, and then refused to fully refund my deposit. At the very least, he should have refunded the full deposit or written off the small side items that were left behind, since the contracted taco service was never provided. I would not recommend Unicos Taco Catering. This company was unreliable, unprofessional, and failed to honor the agreement we made. I am sharing this review so others are aware before booking an event with them. They ruin our Nurse's Week Celebration!

A total spot hitter when you want authentic kebab. We HIGHLY recommend the luleh kebab, it's unbelievable! Felicia, the person helping us today deserves 10 stars. She was so warm and patient as we made our order, even double checking to make sure we were comfortable. We're from out of town but we'll be back to our favorite kebab place soon!

    Cannot recommend…read more. This did not meet any of my expectations. I usually order a little bit from a restaurant I've never been to, damn me for not doing so here! I ordered too much!!! Too much unworthy food! Pictures and reviews from others suggested it would be good, but nope! I've ate at lots of other restaurants of similar, and nothing is like this, rather bland and uneventful. The chicken shish kebab was dry, and not much flavor. The pork ribs were decent. The ribeye steak was not the best. Considering that they state they use Harris Ranch, man I expected a great steak! Uneven cook on it too. I ordered a side onion, wth did they give me, a burnt onion?! Their sumac onions were not made right! Throwing some seasoning on some onions does not make it sumac onions! Things that were right? The roasted tomato, the roasted jalapeño. Possibly the hummus, as I quite liked the consistency and flavor. Wished the food was better. I don't understand their rating. Located right next to the popular and famous Paradise Bakery too.
