Happily, someone immediately responded and gave me that night's location, Evan's Brewery in Corona. My drive to the Eastvale address would have been in vain. It's a rented commercial kitchen, not a store front or residence. They do not sell here. I am always on the hunt for a really good smoked brisket. Albert's smoked meats are beyond reproach. He is gifted, providing a product that is moist and delicious. The wood he uses for smoking is one I could never get tired of. I ordered brisket meat only, hoping for a few slices, forgoing the bread and sides in an effort to avoid all the carbs. So what I ended up with was only a small tinfoil packet of meat, well chopped. The Hubs ordered a pulled pork sandwich with Cole slaw and baked beans. It came with a small container of their bbq sauce, a very sweet version, on the side. Due to rain, Evans Brewery had graciously opened up their lobby to the Ochoas for setting up their operation. We had expected to bring our food straight home regardless, but there did happen to be a few places we could have plopped ourselves down and ate inside. Once home, we took a good look at what we had spent $42 for. These portions were certainly not intended for anyone who sports a large appetite. Fairly recent pictures of their menu indicated I would be purchasing a half pound of brisket. It was not, more likely around 5 oz. Mr. B's cole slaw and baked beans sides were unremarkable, and sadly, the bbq sauce was overly sweet. This left us with very mixed feelings. While I really loved my brisket meat, and Hubs also said he liked his pulled pork, the smaller servings stunned us, and the sides were unimpressive and meaningless in the scope of things. I figured we were paying close to $60/lb for our meat. I admire the energy and passion they have put into their business. But as nice and friendly as they were, the great tasting meats were not enough to draw us in, and the fact that they are relatively expensive for an informal, seating-less pop-up, left us feeling torn. Just my opinion, but would we patronize them again? Probably not.

Ochoas Smokehouse is Coronas crown Jewel! Albert, the master of smoke and sizzle, brings out…read morelegendary flavors that could turn any casual BBQ lover into a die-hard fan. His pulled pork sandwiches are a smoky symphony of tender, slow-cooked pork piled high and crowned with just the right amount of tangy barbecue sauce. But it doesn't stop there--if you're craving the king of Texas BBQ, look no further than his chopped brisket sandwiches, where every bite bursts with bold, beefy goodness, smoked to perfection. For those wanting a next-level experience, dive into the loaded mac and cheese bowls--creamy, cheesy bliss topped with juicy chunks of smoked meat that'll have you scraping the bottom for every last morsel. And then there are the smoked rib plates--ribs so succulent and packed with flavor that they'll have you debating if you've just discovered the true meaning of BBQ nirvana. But the best part? This isn't a one-man show. Albert's got his family by his side--his daughter SMO brings her own magic to the mix, and his wife, Heather, adds that personal touch that turns Ochoa's Smokehouse into more than just a BBQ spot--it's a family tradition served up in every bite. If you're looking for BBQ that goes beyond the usual and lands straight into unforgettable, Ochoa's Smokehouse is the place to be. Get ready to feast like never before! We felt welcomed and was dealt with promptly before I even had my first bite. This Smokehouse, this family is absolutely world class.

They exceeded all expectations! Man, the food was abundant and delicious!!!! The Quality of the meat was outstanding, even two days later the leftovers were still moist, and there was no fat in the pulled pork! The salads were fantastic, obviously homemade and I am very very picky about potato salad! It was delicious! As was the mac & cheese. The price was very reasonable and I will definitely use them again. I highly recommend them!

From our very first interaction, Berkeley went above and beyond to earn our business and was a joy to work with throughout the process. He was enthusiastic about accommodating our theme and budget, created a menu to please all palates, and was very responsive to communication and requests including, timely submission of paperwork to the venue. On our big day, the staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly took pride in what they were doing which made the experience even more special for us and our guests. Berkeley arrived early with a giant smoker in tow, and proceeded to prepare an amazing barbeque, served buffet style by his professional staff. At the end, Berkeley's team made sure everything was set out so we could continue to nibble throughout the day. The food was incredible!! On Berkeley's recommendation, our entrees included juicy lemon pepper chicken breast, sliced for ease of serving, thick pieces of high quality, smoked salmon, and the most flavorful rosemary tri-tip packed in a dry rub Berkeley credits to his father. Side dishes included, bow tie macaroni and cheese oozing with a cheese blend that complimented the entrees, brightly colored smoked vegetables, and "to die for" mashed potatoes. Salad, with Berkeley's special dressing, and fluffy rolls rounded out the menu. Every single dish was packed with flavor, cooked to perfection, and made with top-tier ingredients. Portions were generous, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how good everything was. Don't forget to bring some "to-go" containers because your guests will be excited to take some home with them. I researched several BBQ caterers, including popular chain stores. Although I could have found a less expensive option, I could not have found anything approaching the quality, quantity, and service of Berkeley's Backyard Barbeque. So, if you're looking for a caterer who delivers not just amazing food, but a great overall experience, I highly recommend Berkeley's Backyard Barbecue. They helped make our wedding day unforgettable.

I was feeling really nauseated that morning and the smell of fish from the truck really helped ease the nausea, so I decided to buy something. I didn't catch the server's name, but he was really friendly and helpful. I noted there was shrimp on the menu, which was a bit concerning given my allergy and already starting with nausea, so the server did his best to minimize cross contamination even though I said it was ok (since it would be impossible since everything is fried in the same oil). Since I was willing to take the chance on the allergy, I didn't expect the server to still be that careful with the food since I did mention the allergy wasn't too severe (and wouldn't matter if he avoided more contamination because of the oil). All in all, super friendly guy who did his best to make sure I enjoyed my food, so it was super appreciated.

Unfortunately, the quality of the Thai food has severely suffered in the process. We ordered the Crying Tiger and specifically requested that the steak be cooked medium. Instead, it was served completely rare, which ruined the dish for us. The execution just was not there, and the Thai food overall was a huge letdown. From looking at their online profile and the menu details, it is clear they are now operating primarily as Seafood Boiler. We did not try the seafood boil, so I cannot speak to that side of the menu--perhaps that is where their focus is now. However, if you are coming here expecting good Thai food, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Save your money and skip the Thai menu.

They did indeed fill the bowl up very well which I was happy about! But unfortunately both my friend and I left a bit disappointed since we both felt our bowls were overly saucy. And I'm usually a very saucy girl! I only asked for 2 different sauces, the OG and the ponzu, but I felt like it left the whole bowl feeling really thick and creamy plus a little overly salty whereas I prefer when the fish and toppings stand out instead. As for the business itself it's a small place with a few tables in the back which is where we sat. The woman that served us was able to keep up with the amount of toppings I was throwing out (with 1 mistake) and service was pretty quick. I always like when I'm able to see the food being made. They also had a small ice chest with different melona flavors and since I love the green melon flavor I got one! It's rare to find in restaurants so I was happy with that!
