Melissa walked me through the planning process and made it easy and hassle-free. She easily accommodated different dietary needs, and I especially appreciated that they were willing to cater a fairly small party (16 people). The food was a hit, especially the brisket sliders, German potato salad, and the spice cupcakes! Thanks to Roaming Feast, we were able to enjoy the party without having to focus on fixing the feast!

Five Star Catering helped our company deliver an incredible Annual Party at the Seymour Center in…read moreSanta Cruz, CA. Their team was instrumental from the very beginning, offering thoughtful layout recommendations, coordinating rentals (from games to outdoor heaters to candle votives), and ensuring every detail was accounted for. Laura was a tremendous partner throughout the months of planning, and Caitlin's day of coordination was exceptional. She and the entire crew made sure food was always stocked, guests were never holding onto dirty plates nor empty drinks, and the bartenders crafted excellent cocktails all night long. Their cleanup was just as impressive; efficient, thorough, and seamless. I cannot thank Five Star Catering enough for helping us create such a memorable corporate event. We will absolutely be working with them again. I highly recommend them to any organization planning a large even. They truly elevate every aspect of the experience.

They were wonderful to work with, from start to finish: very responsive to our initial inquiries, pricing was as expected, and the team showed up on time and was ready to serve food on time. They also packed up the leftovers before they left so that latecomers could still eat. My only critique was that the elotes didn't look like the pic on Yelp. But everything was delicious, and people were going back for more!

We hired Talavera Tacos for our baby shower this past weekend based on glowing recommendations from…read morefriends and family. While the food eventually arrived, the experience leading up to and during the event was fraught with unnecessary stress. Initial communication was great, but it trailed off as we got closer to the date. Despite their "quick response" phone number, my calls and texts went completely ignored. To make matters worse, the voicemail changed from a personal greeting to a generic one 72 hours before my event, leaving me terrified that we had been scammed. We increased our headcount from 65 to 75 a week prior. After being told this was fine, I was sent an incorrect invoice that ignored the new guest count and asked for a second $300 deposit I had already paid. It took multiple follow-up emails just to get a confirmation on the final numbers. On the day of, the staff arrived promptly and set up on time. However, only 30 minutes into service--with only 30 of our 75 guests fed--they completely ran out of cilantro, onions, and grilled peppers. When I followed up the next day, they claimed they prepared for "70 guests." Even if that were true, it wasn't the 75 we paid for, and it certainly doesn't explain running out of basic toppings after 30 people. I'm incredibly glad we didn't use them for our wedding last year as originally planned. It's disappointing when the service doesn't match the reputation. 2 stars for due prompt service and the guests that got all the food really enjoyed the steak & shrimp.

The food was so good and our guests raved about it even after the event. We opted for a multi course plated service and everything was delicious, presented so beautifully and made fresh local ingredients that truly wowed us all. I highly recommend their short ribs, baked havarti oysters, and do not pass on Bruces famous brownies! We absolutely loved how great the team was to work with as well. From the very beginning Bruce listened to the tastes/foods that were important to us and delivered on our special day. Jordan was a true hero handling our event rentals and making sure we had everything we needed for our bar service. Both were very responsive the entire time, and even hosted us for a tasting a few months prior to the event allowing us to sample what we were getting ourselves in to. I'd like to add that we also played a round of golf with them- these guys really love what they do and the people that they get to work with and it was really special for us to gain friends along the way. Thank you guys again for such a wonderful experience and we can't wait to work with you again soon!

I ordered a street taco with pollo because the photos looked so good! And I got the large nachos with birria (shredded beef in stew) with everything on it. (There were only these two meats available, so I wanted to try them both.) The order came out in roughly 15 minutes, which was good. The size of the items were okay, but surprisingly the meats were not very warm. The taco looked bland, but it tasted good with the cilantro and diced onions. The nachos, on the other hand, was underwhelming -- mainly because it sat underneath a mountain of what looked and tasted like Velveeta cheese. The squeezed dollop of sour cream didn't make it look more appealing. I think the tacos and platters are the way to go.

Everything was delicious, I'm pescatarian so I was soooo happy they offered shrimp/camarones because a lot of the taquero catering we reached out to did not offer that. The food was delicious, the service was amazing, the process to book was seamless. They arrived promptly ready to make food before guests began arriving, they had great communication throughout the booking process and on the day of. I wasn't sure if we were going to do a different type of catering because we requested a quote less than 30 days before our event and they were so prompt with everything that I felt confident to proceed with their services. We had lots of leftovers & our guests were munching on it all night long. I'm hoping to book them again, we had the pleasure of working with them in Saratoga, CA at our Airbnb near the Saratoga springs wedding venue & they had no issues getting to our site. Highly recommend booking them for your next event in the Bay Area, CA. Even though I was all over the place on our wedding day, they were so professional and awesome about everything, I can only say positive things about my experience. It was even foggy and misting and they continued to serve our guests with no problem. truly a five star experience!!!
