Border Grill catered my dad's memorial at Aliso Viejo Ranch. I was very impressed with the service and the food. I worked with Taylor on the organizing of their service and everything exceeded my expectations. The servers worked very hard and were very friendly at the event. The food was exceptional. I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a good caterer. read more

Great Food! The staff was great and on time! The food was served warm and great presentation! We will definitely use them again! :) read more

Border Grill has been amazing to work with in every single way! Our guests LOVED every item. They especially raved about how good the salads were! Not only is the food incredible, working with each team member has been such a joy. Each person is so responsive and cares so much about not only their craft, but the community around them. We couldn't be happier and couldn't recommend them more! Special thank you to Taylor for being the best person to work with. read more

Cannot recommend highly enough. Planning a wedding can be exhausting - deciding to work with Border Grill was easily one of the best decisions we made. Taylor, who was our point of contact at BG, was a breath of fresh air. She is absolutely wonderful - kind, down-to-earth, and easy to work with. Honestly she made the catering part of the wedding a joy. And we haven't even gotten to the food yet! Truly a highlight. The food was amazing--delicious, beautifully presented, lots of bright colors and fresh flavors. We heard from multiple guests that it was one of the best meals they've had at a wedding, and we couldn't agree more. The day-of staff were also fantastic. Incredibly professional, thoughtful, and efficient--they handled everything smoothly and really made the day seamless. Thank you BG! read more

We used Border Grill as a full service caterer for a 80 person corporate holiday party. Overall really pleased with their service and the food. The in-person team was outstanding and extremely attentive they were throughout the night! Would highly recommend Border Grill for any type of catering read more

Love catering from Border Grill! I've been working with their team for many years to provide a truck for local events. The food is always a hit, the staff is so professional and easy to work with and they really are a staple in the community. Grateful to have Border Grill be part of the Santa Monica Community in a unique way. THE FOOD IS AMAZING! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! Used Border Grill at my engagement party for 65 people and did their quick service catering option - it was perfect. Our on site lead Chelsea was amazing! They used our kitchen and made sure all the food was presented beautifully and stayed hot for all our guests. The empanadas were so good and my guests would not stop raving about all the food! Highly recommend and I will be back! read more

I used Border Grill for a birthday party at my house and I was so happy I did. The food was incredible. People commented on the quality of the dishes. Sizes were generous and the sides and appetizers were very tasty. The staff who delivered knew what they are doing and helped make the presentation look elegant. My guests loved that each dish had a description of what was in it so that those with any food restrictions could choose accordingly. For the price and the quality I highly recommend Border Grill catering. read more

This review is long overdue. My husband and I chose Border Grill for our catering and bartending services at our wedding in November 2022. This was probably the best decision we ever made besides the whole getting married and having a baby thing! I cannot even begin to explain how wonderful these people are. Taylor was our events manager and my point of contact for all my catering needs. She was SO thorough, patient, kind, and extremely helpful for all of the months leading up to the big day. She answered endless emails from me and never made me feel like a bother. She was reassuring, prompt, and on top of everything. I don't know what I would have done without her. She made such a stressful planning process feel easy and taken care of. Thank you so much, Taylor! Now, let's talk about the day of. The food, drinks, and staff were AMAZING. Seriously, everyone was blown away. We still get comments from guests about how delicious everything was. In addition to everything being delicious, the service was spectacular. This was the nicest staff we have ever come across. Chelsea was the onsite manager for Border Grill that day and she was beyond perfection. What an angel. Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the wait staff and bartenders were. We all felt so cared for the entire night and could not have been happier. This place is special. If you are thinking of going with Border Grill for your event, please do. You will not be disappointed. read more

I think I will be recommending Border Grill to everyone and for everything for the rest of my life. Absolutely delicious food that is fun with both classic and intriguing flavor profiles. Taylor was so responsive and flexible. We had to edit our budget and guest count a few times Taylor was always ready and willing to help us find solutions that worked best for us. They also have super customizable packages for every budget. Honestly, the tasting was tremendous, the day of service and staff phenomenal ( I was never not without a fresh cocktail in my hand) and the food was so so tasty. The wedding was almost a month ago and I'm still getting compliments on the food. We are so thankful to Border Grill for helping our wedding be flawless!!! read more

Everything about our experience with BG Catering was perfect. From the early planning stages to the night of the event (bat mitzvah party with ~115 guests), BG was on top of it and spot on in their execution. Working with Taylor pre-event was great; working with chef Monica and captain Chelsea at the event was seamless. They helped accommodate all of our requests and the price was very reasonable for everything. The food & drink were amazing and guests (and hosts) were very happy. Highly recommend! read more

Border Grill Catered & bartended for my wedding and I cannot say enough good things about them. From the start they were incredibly easy to work with, very transparent and fair with pricing, and handled everything flawlessly. Our contact, Taylor, was always available to talk and go over any questions we had (and often answered them before we had a chance to even ask them) and made us feel super re-assured about everything going into the wedding! The food was excellent and we received non-stop compliments from our guests with several people telling me it was the best wedding food that they'd ever had. The Oaxacan Old Fashioneds were such a hit that we ran out of Mezcal halfway through the night (which I was honestly glad about because I needed people to actually drink the rest of the alcohol I'd bought). Our wedding would not have been the same without them! read more

We hired Border Grill for catering and bartending services for my post-elopement party in June 2024. I cannot recommend them more!!!! The food was AMAZING, the drinks were stellar, and the team was honestly A+. Working with Taylor to plan the event was so smooth and easy, and Chelsea, who was at our venue for the day of the event, is A SUPER STAR. The rest of the team went really above and beyond; a guest injured her ankle at the end of the party and they helped out immediately, getting her ice and a chair before I even thought to ask. Great communication throughout. We are so happy we went with Border Grill! read more

Border Grill catered my wedding at SmogShoppe in March 2023 and it was perfect. Working with Taylor was a dream, the food was sooooooooo good, and everything went smoothly at the event. My guests LOVED THE FOOD, they all told me. I have a hard time finding good vegetarian tacos and these potato tacos were amazingggggg. Other big hits were the hostess cupcakes, corn esquite, and margaritas. The tasting we did with my sister was also a really fun and relaxing experience. Highly HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. read more

Border Grill was the absolute best choice we made for our wedding in Malibu! Taylor and her team brought our vision to life and made the whole process so fun! Our guests raved about our apps and the tacos. We cannot recommend Border Grill enough! read more

Both my husband and I have always loved Border Grill food back when it was open in DTLA. We decided to have this catered for our post-wedding family lunch and everyone loved the food. Taylor Mochizuki was such a fantastic point person to work with. She answered all the questions I had over the span of a few months & helped me make multiple last minute accommodations to our order. All the communication was easy and quick, we were able to provide food for all our guests with dietary restrictions. Our guests didn't stop raving about the food and left happy & full! Thank you for being a part of our celebration, we will definitely be catering Border Grill again. read more

We just had a party with approximately 110 guests, and Border Grill was perfect in every way. First of all, working with Taylor prior to the event was fantastic. Planning a party like this was um...STRESSFUL! But Taylor always put us at ease, answering our questions quickly and making us feel like she understood what we wanted. She paid careful attention to our guests' allergies, especially the nut concerns which are a big deal in our family. And she took our general concept for a "Make Your Own Mocktail Bar" for the teens and creatively ran with it. Even the adults were into it! Then when it came time for the party, Chelsea and her team went above and beyond. They were on point the whole night, super professional and just on top of every detail. They were calm yet festive and helped to set the tone for the party. We had so many comments about how tasty everything was, from the apps to the drinks to the main course. The mocktail bar was awesome, and my wife now has a new favorite margarita (passionfruit). The Border Grill team even helped us put the trays of leftovers in our car after it was all over - classy service from the start of the party to the final moment. All and all, Border Grill gave us exactly what we wanted. We're going to try and have another massive party so we can hire them again! read more

Border Grill did an awesome job catering our daughters wedding. Everything was beautiful and delicious. Especially since the city electricity went out just before guests arrived. BG managed to make everything work beautifully in spite of the difficulties. We are very grateful. read more

Border Grill catered our daughter's wedding for 160 people, many with gluten-free, dairy-free and various other requirements. Taylor was just incredibly responsive, helpful, flexible and highly professional every step of the way. She solved problems with calm and resourcefulness, including having no oven at the venue, and she provided us with guidance in planning as well as an excellent serving staff the day of the event. In the week after the wedding we have heard multiple rave reviews of the food from a somewhat hard to please crowd. I cannot recommend Border Grill highly enough; they are a real professional, class act. read more

when my husband and i got engaged we knew instantly that were were going to have Mexican food at our wedding (we are self-proclaimed foodies). Our venue (the Smogshoppe) had recommenced the Border Grill to us and we decided to go undercover have lunch there. We were really happy with the quality of the food and the flavors were not only very authentic but very delicious. We chose the Border Grill and instantly set up at tasting. My husband was the contacted by Nicole. She was amazing. They email back and fourth before the tasting so she can see what we really wanted. Not only was the tasting so good but Nicole made the whole experience insanely memorable. She was recommending hors d'oeuvres that we had to have at our wedding that we never even thought about serving (bacon wrapped figs are amazing) You can really feel that she care about her clients by how genuine she is. On my wedding day, as i was getting ready i went down stairs to check on the flowers and to my surprise Nicole was there. She drove to Culver City just to make sure everything went smoothly. That was awesome! The food was so amazing. All of our guest were very impressed. They plated everything so beautiful. I want want to thank The Border Grill for being apart of my dream wedding. Also, thank you Nicole for helping us make our wedding special. read more

Border Grill catered my backyard birthday party of 35 this weekend. They were exceptional. Taylor was amazing to work with and so responsive! The team showed up exactly on time, were super friendly and got to work. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Everyone and I mean, EV-ER-Y-ONE raved about the food! I couldn't have been happier! Don't hesitate to book them, they will dazzle! read more

We had the best experience with Border Grill at our wedding last weekend! Taylor was terrific to work with from the very beginning, even making the trek out to our remote desert location to personally make sure their truck could fit (it did). Everyone absolutely loved the food and appetizers, and the servers were friendly and attentive. It was just perfect. read more

We hired Border Grill for our wedding catering and were blown away by the level of service we received, especially given that we were planning a wedding during Covid times. We got married at Casa Cody, which does not have a full catering kitchen. Border Grill was able to pull one of their food trucks into their driveway, and set up a full buffet out of it. We had an absolutely phenomenal tasting at their sister restaurant in Santa Monica. All of the food was amazing, and we took plenty of leftovers. We wanted gluten free and vegan options, and they were easily able to accommodate us. I normally always order beef at catering, and I got the vegetable enchiladas because they were that good! We also realized two months before our wedding that we never ordered desserts. Border grill gave us a full menu of options and said it was no problem to add to the order. Taylor was a dream to work with, and the staff on site the day of were all amazing. They checked on us multiple times, made sure we were well fed and always had drinks. We requested they wear masks and everyone complied, never even had to ask for someone to pull up a mask. I felt respected and like every dollar was well spent. Would hire them again in a second. read more

I don't even know where to begin! I hired Border Grill to Cater my 20 person wedding, and it was a dream. Taylor was an absolute gem to work with- quick responses, covers every single detail, impeccable follow ups, and the list goes on. We were recommend to Border Grill by my good friend, and I'm so happy to recommend their delicious food, seamless service, and exceptional staff to anyone I know. Every single person at our wedding was talking about how good the food was. You know it's good when they talk about the food! Cannot say enough. Thank you for making our special day so perfect ! read more

We used Border Grill for catering at our wedding and they were incredible! From the tasting, to the booking, and the wedding day itself the Border Grill team was amazing. I think for those of us getting married during/shortly after a global pandemic, it feels like most wedding vendors are too swamped to really give their all to any client, but not Border Grill. Every step of the way they were on top of the ball, detail oriented, and had excellent communication. My husband and I felt like they truly cared about making our wedding day a positive experience for us. The wedding day ran incredibly smoothly and the service team was very friendly. Best of all, our guests raved about the food and many told us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! Thank you Border Grill! read more

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (a little over 2 years after my wedding) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Border Grill all the praise they deserve. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Border Grill previously and found them to be so easy to work with as well as extremely professional. They always had the absolute best food so I knew when I was getting married they were at the top of my list! My husband at the time was hesitant as he isn't the biggest fan of Mexican food even though I explained to him several times that it's a delicious modern fusion. Once we had our tasting he was sold! Taylor was so great to work with and so flexible with all our requests. We of course had to add on the churro tots for desserts as well as late night tamales. Nothing was left from either of those stations! We did a plated dinner and our guests could not stop raving about the choices, especially the short rib, it was a huge hit! read more

Nicole and the catering staff were amazing every step of the way for our arrangements. Nicole took the time to help us get our menu right, and all the necessary glass and paperwares ordered. The team that was on site for our event were spectacular. The bar tenders made the drinks well and fast, all the guests were pleased. The truck did a great job with the food, and the taco bar was so beautiful. The food was incredible, as we knew it would be. I'm vegan and so the menu was important for me, as well as for my guests that weren't vegan to be able to also enjoy. The modifications made to accommodate had everyone fooled, and going back for 2nds and 3rds! Thank you to everyone who made our day so special. read more

Taylor and the Border Grill staff were amazing! Taylor is so responsive and was so accomodating to our requests. She remembered EVERYTHING we discussed including all the little details. We had a lot of last-minute changes due to the Coronavirus mandates and she worked with us and helped make these changes. I cannot thank her and her team enough for making this day happen with a smile on their faces. We received so many compliments about the food and staff on our Wedding Day. We have nothing but great things to say about our entire experience with them and cannot recommend her and Border Grill enough! read more

Oh man, we can't say enough about these guys. Nicole & Taylor made our culinary (and bar) dreams. The team that was there were ANGELS and made sure my husband and I felt special and very attended to. No offense girls, but our bartender wins prom queen. All our guests raved about you and how you made them feel like family. Also you got everyone effed up and you ladies handled our circus party of guests lol, with the utmost grace. Everyone RAVED about the food, the service and the stiff drinks. This fam will surely take good care of you on your big day! read more

I work as an event manager and I had the pleasure of attending my two best friends wedding two weeks ago. It was catered by border Grill and they blew me away. When we arrived to the venue to help set up before guest arrival, tables and chairs had been improperly set up by the rental company. We would've been screwed but without hesitation, their staff moved all the chairs and tables and never complained even in the three digit heat. They literally saved the reception and went above and beyond the call of duty. If they hadn't stepped up to help us, I don't know what we would've done. Not only that but we ran out of ice and plastic cups towards the end of the night and without any hesitation they stepped up to go pick it up for us. Unbelievable service. Oh and Their food is delicious by the way! Incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. I couldn't believe how delicious everything was. I saw many people going back to the buffet many times for seconds and thirds. Myself included! My hats go off to this team. Their work ethic is admirable and we were so lucky to have them. Major props go to Chelsea (their lead) who not only helped manage everything but communicated with me about everything very clearly. Her can-do attitude, professionalism, and positive attitude make her an extremely valuable asset. If she wasn't already employed I would aggressively pursue her to work with me at my venue. Someone give this woman a raise. Thanks to the whole team for being incredible. I look forward to working with the border Grill in the future. They have proven themselves to be exceptional. read more

Border Grill was an AMAZING partner in catering our wedding. Over the year that we planned our wedding we had several points of contact given that people in the organization moved on to other parts of the operation. At each hand off, there was never a ball that dropped. To the contrary, the response time for every email I sent was almost always immediate and thoroughly professional. I received calls before the event just to check in. I felt like they were looking out for me. The whole process was very intimate and personal even though we were hundreds of miles away. Border Grill made the whole process of selecting a menu very easy. I can still remember how delicious the food was at the tasting. Sadly, I was too busy at the actual wedding to try the food, but the guests were raving. The wedding went off without a hitch, very smooth. And the food truck and entire presentation were just so cool looking! I would without a doubt do it all over again with Border Grill. Thank you Border Grill! read more

Border Grill catered our wedding earlier this month and they were truly incredible. The food was a smash hit among our guests, the staff and bartenders were incredibly kind and accommodating, and Taylor and her team were so great to work with every step of the way--from treating us to an excellent tasting early in our planning process, to helping us hone in on our specific menu, to making the trek to our venue for our final planning meeting. We could not be happier with their service and highly recommend using them if you have an upcoming event that needs catering. read more

Taylor is a gem! We hired BG for our wedding and they did not disappoint. Not only is the food amazing (do not sleep on the mushroom tacos or the black bean empanadas y'all), but the service leading up to the day made every penny worth it. Not only was our tasting free, but Taylor was super helpful, she talked me through how everything works, and even helped build our rentals list for us. Would highly recommend for any event. read more

Border Grill catered my wedding in October and was absolutely fantastic. Taylor Mochizuki, the Events Manager, is a total gem and amazing to work with. She always made herself available to me to ask my long list of questions. We were blown away by the food at the tasting, (which was complimentary) and knew we had to book Border Grill for our event. They were so hospitable and gave us so much food (my parents thank them for the leftovers haha!). On the day of the wedding, Border Grill was flawless in timing and execution. My guests raved about the food all night. Thank you for making us look so good! Do yourself a favor and book Border Grill for your wedding/next event! read more

We had them at our backyard wedding and they were awesome. Everyone enjoyed the food. It needed replenishing all the time just coz everyone loved it. They served on time and set up was great.

We were determined to find a wedding caterer that didn't serve the same old typical wedding food, doing tastings with multiple well-reviewed vendors without success - until we found out Border Grill does wedding catering! The food was absolutely amazing, with creative menu items you won't find with other vendors at this price range. Taylor was communicative and accommodating throughout the planning process, and the staff at the wedding were efficient, professional, and willing to help out other vendors when needed. Thank you Border Grill team! read more

Our nonprofit organization worked with Border Grill for a three-day event catering to 125 guests (breakfast, lunch and snacks each day).

Would highly recommend the taco bar. We plan to work with Border Grill again next year, and would highly recommend them for any corporate events! read more
