Is there a more perfect food than a good taco? Let me save you the trouble of thinking about it:…read moreno, there is not. So what better food to serve for a party than tacos? Tacos + Beer = Party WIN. When I threw a little shin-dig over the weekend, I knew I couldn't trust my own taco-making skills (or lack thereof). I needed to call the pros. I've hired "taco guys" before for other events but their business practices were a bit sketchy. I decided to try a business that I knew to be accredited and that follows strict health codes. Nothing says party-foul like sick guests that aren't throwing up because of too much beer. I found Manny's Mex during a Google search and checked out their website and reviews. I was shocked this place wasn't on Yelp yet, but I knew that was going to change as soon as the last taco was devoured at my event. After checking out their website and reviews, I sent an e-mail and got an immediate response from Manuel, the owner. We were able to coordinate everything over e-mail, even when there were a few changes. He was very prompt about returning every message and sending a contract to me via email. On the day of the event, Manny and his partner showed up a few minutes early, set up everything without problem (including two tables, linens, and 25 chairs for an additional $55), and started serving the guests on time. For two hours, they served some for the best tacos I've ever had. I'm still eating them actually since they gave us the leftovers. The carne asada and pollo asada tacos were unbelievably good. They had a perfect blend of spices and a hint of citrus. The fresh, handmade corn tortillas were some of the best tortillas I've had outside of Mexico. No joke. The toppings included fresh guacamole, salsa, onion, cilantro, and purple cabbage. They also included tortilla chips, which was a nice extra. Everything was delicious. Every single one of my guests went back for seconds (or more...I know who you are). Manuel and his partner were complete professionals and very friendly. I was very impressed with not only their great food but their level of service as well. They were a bit more expensive than other "taco guys" but I also take into consideration that you're paying a little extra for higher quality food and service. They will also include all the paper napkins, plates, and utensils, which other taco guys don't usually provide. There is no doubt that I'll be calling them back for another event very soon. To be honest, I have no reason to throw another party anytime soon, but those tacos might BE the reason.

SUPER FAIL. I called on Saturday and spoke to a man there about hiring them for an early party on…read morethe following Saturday. Although the pricing was a little weird (same price for 30 people as the 50 person quote), I said I would talk to my husband and get back to them asap. He warned me that they book fast and I assured him I would call him the next day and confirmed his "direct" phone number. The next morning I called to confirm them and left a message. I called 2x a day for the next 3 days - no one answered, no one returned my messages. I also used their 800 number and emailed just in case. NO RESPONSE. EVER. If you are already booked or don't want to do a small party, no problem. Just get on the phone or email and LET ME KNOW. Not such great business from a member of the BBB. FAIL.

I don't normally leave reviews but truly felt I needed to for Jewlzz and Hee food. First, the…read morepersonality and love within a cook comes through in tge food he or she prepares. It did just that. Let's start with the chicken and beef pies/patties. Each has its own savory taste. Of course, there is the touch of spice that lingers. Reminding your pallet of a rare taste. The pie itself is made from scratch. Literally, the pie itself is an appetizer. The Curry Chicken is the closest to Carribean flavor that I have found in the world. Yes, I am a world traveler and know a great taste. Tender chicken in a tany, semi-creamy sauce that can be eaten by itself as the spinach adds an entirely different curry experience!

I was able to try food from Egghead BBQ last year at a friend's wedding reception in Calabasas. The…read morefood is served by the staff buffet style. I had just eaten a pretty heavy lunch before the wedding reception so I wasn't too hungry, but once I surveyed the spread, I had to have some. First things first, the ranch style beans with bacon. I am someone who hates beans. Don't like it in rice, in burritos, or on a plate. But the bacon chunks enticed me. It was freaking delicious. It has just enough sweetness and tang coupled with the morsels of bacon, it was heaven. It went very well with the meat. The pulled pork sandwich was delicious as well. It was served with a soft brioche bun and the meat was moist and tender, not dry. The coleslaw served in the sandwich along with the spicy sauce drizzled on the meat, created the perfect trifecta. The tri-tip was pretty good as well. It wasn't the best I've ever had in my life, but it was definitely worth getting seconds for. The meat was cooked perfectly and later on in the evening, I made myself some tri-tip sandwiches with the leftover brioche buns. The grilled pineapple was delicious and complimented the food very well. It's like getting a little hit of Hawaii with your pulled pork. Also the stuffed mushrooms were a great side dish and would also make great appetizers! I asked my buddy where he catered from and how he found them, and he said that Egghead BBQ was recommended by a friend of his. If you need to cater an event and you're thinking of delicious, quality BBQ... I don't think you can go wrong with these guys. They know what they're doing.

I liked the variety they offered with the meats and the sides. I especially liked the grilled pineapple. I thought it was a nice touch that you don't see very often. I would highly recommend using EggHead for a big event/party! Guests will not be disappointed.
