That plus a drink, delivery, and tip brought my total to 30 bucks which I would pay again and again if the food was good. The meats is as if it's been sitting under a buffet lamp for about a month. It's so dry it's practically jerky. Very disappointed for the price that I paid. They also do their own DoorDash deliveries which is fine, however you don't get up to date tracking on the food. The food sat at my front door for who knows how long because the driver didn't bother to knock.

They delivered early which was even better and set-up the trays. Everyone enjoyed the food, especially the chicken adobo! it was a hit and everyone took home a to-go plate, there was plenty of food and it was delicious and seasoned perfectly. I found Minda's Kitchen on yelp and went off reviews and I am glad I went with her, it's always great to support family owned and women run businesses. Bonus - she also gave me a loaf of homemade banana bread and it was very good, it was a very sweet gesture and shows that she cares about her food and puts love into it.

Always so consistent, elegantly prepared down to the table covers and keeping the food fresh and hot in the warmers. The food was sooooo good, so impressed and the guests loved it!

All of the other caterers on the list at Sunset View in El Cerrito only provided drop-off where we would have to set up, clean up, provide drinks, desserts, utensils, plates, etc. This was not something I wanted to do or have my family and friends do at a funeral. I wanted full service. The presentation was beautiful, I wish I had taken photos to include in the review. And everything was absolutely delicious. Ernesto and his staff put out take out boxes where people could take extras home. I am happy that the leftovers were not thrown out, Ernesto donates them to a homeless shelter. I can't say enough about how exceptional the food and the service were. I highly recommend Teto's Catering! Thank you, Ernesto and staff!

From the moment Frankie and I spoke, the entire process was easy and stress-free. They were great to work with, the setup and breakdown were seamless, and we had more than enough food to feed 120+ guests, with plenty left over. Having Rafael's handle the catering allowed me and my party helpers to focus on everything else instead of worrying about the food. I don't know when I'll be hosting another party this big, but when I do, Rafael's will be my first call. Thank you Rafael's Catering for helping make her day so special!

The ordering process is simple, the team is efficient, portions are LARGE and they make it easy to modify items, pricing quotes, etc. Delivery and pick up has always ran smooth and the team will assist in packing up all leftovers because there definitely will be plenty. They have delivered to a hall as well as our home, they've set up in our backyard and inside our dining space. They stay communicative with delivery and pick up times, updates and ETAs of arrival. I'd have to say that by now, we have ordered every item on their menu - including the lechon, and we've gotten great feedback from family & friends. Rafael's has set the bar pretty high for quality of food and service. I recommend them to anyone that is planning to host a party and does not want the hassle of cooking, setting up, etc.

We submitted a catering quote request, and to our surprise, Richard called to discuss it. Unfortunately, the call was not the kind of interaction you'd hope for when trying to plan an event. It left us wondering--why is Richard the one calling back customers instead of Minh? I'm writing this in the hopes that Minh will reach out to me directly with a contact number so we can move forward and work with Aloha Catering. Otherwise, we'll need to start exploring other catering options. I will update this review once I hear back from Minh.

That alone told me we made the right choice. The delivery was also right on time, and everything arrived still super hot and ready to serve, which I really appreciated.

There was no line to order, and it took about 10-15 minutes for our food to be ready. Service was standard and sufficient. We got the small-size seafood paella which was served warm and quite delicious. It came with spanish rice, green beans, calamari, shrimp, and mussels which were overcooked and very tiny in the shells. We also got several empanadas (mushroom with mozzarella, spinach with mozzarella, and garlic shrimp with mozzarella). They were served at room temperature from the display case in the window, and they weren't labeled clearly so we had to bite into each one to figure out which was which. All three flavors were tasty nonetheless. My favorite dish was the order of prawn croquettes which came with salad on the side. These were served hot and freshly made, a nicely seasoned savory and creamy filling with large chunks of shrimp inside, and the breading fried to a perfect consistency. Yummy!

Chef Henry and his team were extremely welcoming, organized, professional, and just brought such good vibes. You can tell they're truly about their business and take a lot of pride in what they do. I was especially happy to have them recommended to us because the food was incredible, with the ingredients and proteins being locally sourced. The braised short rib was sooo tender, it still got me thinking about it lol Everything felt like clean, satisfying eating without sacrificing flavor. Every bite was so flavorful! It's very clear how much passion Chef Henry and his team have for food, hospitality, and creating an elevated dining experience for their guests. And I have to mention how impressed I was with the cleanup. They were so organized and respectful of the space, and they cleaned everything up so well that you honestly wouldn't have even known a whole team had been in our home! That level of professionalism really stood out to me. A definite must try! We absolutely loved everything and are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with Chef Henry and his team.
