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.

Is that a churro in my pocket, or do I really like Urban Taco?…read more Ordered Urban Taco for my wedding, July 2012. I did my research, as you assumably are doing now. A big reason to pick Urban Taco is that the website was straightforward with food packages spelled out. Other websites ask you to call for a quote, which is time consuming, inconvenient, awkward, and questionable, as you wonder if the prices are negotiable or not. "Hey, yeah, for YOU, I'll throw in the lettuce..." When I confirmed my quote, there were no surprise fees added, like "apron tax", "taco processing", or "fart disposal fee". Just tax. And was told there would be a $55 travel charge, but that seemed reasonable considering their drive down the 405 from Chatsworth to Seal Beach. Francine is not, how can I put this--- "excessively bubbly". On a bubbly scale with champagne in a blender being the top, she's closer to ice. I'm not saying she isn't friendly, but do not expect excessive bubbly-ness. She is, however, straightforward, clear, precise, accommodating, and contacts you via phone and email, and I appreciate her service. I didn't have time to evaluate them precisely, as I was kinda busy publicly vowing to 88 friends (and a guy named Ryan Alari) my dying eternal and legally binding love to some hot chick, BUT here's what I remember: They were on time. They were friendly. The presentation was good, and the food... The food was good and plentiful. We got the steak, fish, and shrimp tacos. For sides we got refried beans (not as healthy, but I wanted some WEIGHT on the plate) and Mexican rice. We made our own salad and opted for their guacamole for the side, which is just too pricey to buy on your own. It was a great call: I HAVE NOT HAD BETTER GUACAMOLE anywhere- it was chunky but creamy and fresh, a bit like Chronic Tacos. Get the guac as a side! I do have to say that the churros were cold. Yummy, but cold. (Maybe they were too close to Francine... I kid!!) I won't mark them down for that since we ate later than expected, so maybe that's my fault, but I advise that you get a chafing dish for the churros, unless that's something they will provide. Another reason for five stars: we had more than enough food, and one of my biggest regrets that night, besides inviting Ryan, was not designating who took the food. I woke up the next morning with a trunk full of car meat. It haunts me to this day that I did not eat it all.

We had Urban Taco for lunch today in our office. We do have a budget for our annual department…read morelunches and, depending on the restaurant, we often end up with a meager amount of food with JUST enough for everyone. This was far, far from that...huge trays of *EVERYTHING* with tons of left-overs. Usually our meals are to feed about 40 people...our office has about 80 people and there was so much left over that we opened it up to everyone else. There was easily $800-900 worth of food delivered, but I think they may have only charged $500'ish. The individual who coordinates the department lunches said that the order came in under budget! Truly amazing. We will definitely be using them again in the future - everything tasted great. I LOVE businesses like this...they don't charge much, but they get tons of repeat business and are in high demand because of customer loyalty. It's an alternative way of making a lot of profits...versus other restaurants who charge a fortune and then wonder why they start losing customers. They served 4 kinds of meat for the tacos, plus tons of beans, rice, tortillas, and salad. And a big pan of cookies as well (unexpected, but a nice treat.)

Highly recommended!Shoutout to Chef Ray Swanson of Chef 805 Catering for an absolutely incredible…read moreexperience. My wife and I attended a friend's birthday party where Chef Ray handled the catering, and the food was truly outstanding. Having spent 22 years in the food service industry myself, I'm not easily impressed--but the presentation, flavors, and overall execution were exceptional. Every item was fantastic. The bruschetta with goat cream cheese was fresh and perfectly balanced. The seared ahi tuna bites were beautifully prepared, and the shrimp spring rolls with ginger peanut sauce were bursting with flavor. Even the flatbread pizza with Caesar salad was spot-on. One great dish after another--we were honestly stuffed by the end of the night. What stood out most was the attention to detail and restaurant-quality presentation, something you rarely see at private catered events. Chef Ray clearly takes pride in his craft, and it shows in every bite. We're already looking forward to the next event he caters at our friend's house--and we'll definitely be using Chef 805 Catering for one of our own parties in the future. -- Anil

I loved that the base menu had variety! The elote was a hit at the party and the inclusion of agua fresca was prime. We hosted at a park and they were so well prepared that set up and serving happened right on time. When they packed up it was like nothing had happened in that spot! I was nervous that we would get fined if oil or something stained the concrete but they had mats. I can't comment enough on how prepared they were! Gus was our guy and he was FANTASTIC! 10/10 recommend his services at your event. The only hiccup was that I didn't realize that the leftovers needed to be placed in containers that we provide. That was my fault though, I had never catered an even and didn't think to ask about that. But it made complete sense and was easily resolved. Once I had the containers, they did the packing of the leftovers. We got to enjoy the delicious food for a day or two more! At the end of the party I even lost my keys and Gus was kind enough to help us search the park for them. He is a stand up guy! This company is not just in it for the money. They genuinely enjoy what they do and it shows in their actions! I highly recommend!

Coffee with great flavor and purpose…read more I hired Montecitos Coffee to host our quarterly Coffee with the Coaches at Built Strong Strength Club. From set up to tear down they were hands down incredibly professional and coordinated. The coffee? Its perfect. When I first tried their coffee, I tried the pistachio coffee and it was my favorite drink. Secon time I tried it, I ordered the vanilla latte. Also, incredibly delish. The coffee barista offered me to try their Coffee Bomb and I was skeptical in the beginning considering one of the ingredients was butter. She assured me that it would enhance the flavor and I gave in (cause I'm a coffee junky). Coffee Bomb was BOMB and moving forward it my new favorite drink. If you see them at an event, try it. If you're ordering their coffee online, buy it. Whatever you can do to try their flavorful coffee is a must and you will be missing out.
