Run by the affable BC and his brother Joe the Tip of Cardiff is a stationary food trailer where the Mother of All Burgers (MOAB) and the Tri Tip sandwich are served. BC also serves Mahi Mahi tacos, Chicken Breast sandwich and Portobello mushroom burgers for those of you who don't eat red meat. But if you are a carnivore I highly suggest the tri tip sandwich. Thinly slices, cooked to perfection yumminess. You can't go wrong with any of these choices and they are all more than enough to satisfy any alcohol fueled appetite. Eating at the Tip of Cardiff is worth enduring the glorious raunchiness of the Kraken.

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.

They were so friendly and threw in an extra sauce free of charge. Their sausage, chicken, and pork ribs were excellent. They managed to be tender but also crispy - kind of reminiscent of Filipino lechon in a way. All the meat was so flavorful and moist. I'll absolutely try them again - next time I want to try their sides, too. Their fresh veggies and their fried potatoes looked and smelled delicious.

They have several food trucks (including one in San Marcos) and a storefront location in Escondido. I was ecstatic when I found that there is now one of their trucks located near me in Encinitas. I just tried the mixed seafood taco, which is enormous and phenomenal. The cashier told me the hours of operation at this location are from 9am to 7 pm, every day. Highly recommended.

This was, originally, very exciting news to hear that the famous Mariscos German (we've traveled…read morealmost an hour to the one off Beyer near the border) was in my hood. Sadly, this truck in Encinitas /Leucadia falls VERY short of the quality of their award winning truck down south. The original has won awards for their fish tacos. We've tried the best in the County and they won by a mile. I'm not sure why this location falls short if they source the same ingredients and use the same recipes. It's very disappointing. Dry fish. Thick batter. Shrimp tacos had no seasoning and were messy and flavorless. (Rubios shrimp tacos are better.... Now that's sad). Carne Asada bland. I may give it another try but think I'll have to head to the San Marcos location to give it a shot.... I'll report back

I highly highly recommend De La Vina Catering and won't even think twice for my next event as I already know we will use them again. They came highly recommended to me and we have had many attendees ask for their contact information. Again, I cannot praise this group enough if you want gourmet food and fantastic service for your next event!

Will definitely be back to try the more adventurous items and seafood items in the menu. Workers seem to take a lot of pride in their food and were very friendly.
