From the very first interaction, this catering company showed a level of compassion and empathy that meant more to us than words can fully express. The owner she was not just professional but she was genuinely caring. She took the time to understand what our family needed during such a painful moment and handled everything with patience, grace, and respect. It truly felt like she cared about our family beyond just providing a service. The food was outstanding farm to table fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared but what stood out just as much was the comfort she brought us during such a trying time. Knowing that part of the day was in her hands allowed us to focus on grieving and supporting one another without added stress. Her compassion, attention to detail, and calm presence made a difficult day a little easier to get through. We are deeply grateful for the kindness she showed our family. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those needing someone who not only delivers amazing food, but also leads with heart. Truly exceptional service in every way.

I would buy a tubful if he sold it that way. Hubby's breakfast wrap Florentine was huge, tasty, and definitely a repeat for another time. His meal presentation is appealing, always a garnish of fresh fruit that is sweet and high quality and some savory red potatoes. Now, as far as lunch fare goes, we brought home his lunch special of the day - Penne Alfredo with chicken. This dish runs the risk of being too rich, too common. But had it for dinner tonight and it was superb. His sauce is so deliciously cheesy, almost likened to a mac and cheese Italian style, and the chunks of chicken breast were generous and perfectly cooked, moist! The pasta was cooked just right (not al dente), so it could happily soak up the sauce perfectly. As always, a special touch for making it his own, it came topped with julienned zucchini (lightly sauteed) and fresh chopped tomato. Came with a delicious garlic cheese toast. OMG - Folks, I would get this again in a heartbeat. Monday through Thursday, you should come visit Gary at his little cafe! Once you find it, that is. And then there is no excuse to not come back.

We don't write reviews on average places, only on horrible or great…read more We booked Bolsa BBQ for my son's graduation party and hosted 50 people. Bolsa BBQ is neither good or bad but it is EXTRAordinary. Kenny is a class act with great personality and outstanding attention to detail from point of contact, communication, punctuality, preparation, set up and clean up. Oh and I have not mention the quality of the food and more so the TASTE was amazing. I could write a review on each item but it would take too long, so I will make it simple. We had two types of ribs, chicken and sausage. Sides were cole slaw, baked beans, potato salad and corn on the cob. .Each item would blow any high end restaurant out of the water by a long shot.

First off, I am friends with the owners of Bolsa BBQ. Friends or not, this is an honest review of…read moretheir food/buisness. Okay so, Bola BBQ is a catering company based out of Corona that uses a mobile rotisserie smoker unit to cater events around Orange County. They specialize in smoked ribs and meats for birthday/private/corporate/fundraising/festivals events. They even have a baby shower an a wedding under their belt. Although their motto is, "Smoke + Low Heat + Meats = Good Eats" they do a lot more than just BBQ, so just ask and they will cater the menu to your needs. They recently took 2nd place in the rib division at the Fountain Valley BBQ Bonanza this month. Now this is a big deal because they were up against 4 or 5 major competitive BBQ organizations that travel around the US attending and competing at these types of events. So congrats to them. Other events they partake in includes the Long Beach Lobster Festival, Tet Festival in Garden Grove and etc. The events are typically three (3) days and with each new day, they use different woods (ie. apple, cherry hickory and etc.) to smoke their meats to add an additional flavor profile on top of their own personal rub mix. So it's interesting to come back the next day to try out the new flavor profile and compare which wood flavor you prefer. I personally prefer the cherry over the apple because it has a slightly sweet fruity mild smoke flavor vs the apple which is also sweet but it is a bit denser in flavor profile in my opinion. The viscosity of their sauce is just right. Not too thick, not too thin. It is sweet, tangy and not too spicy. I personally like to have my ribs fall off the bone because it is easier to eat and less messy. So when I eat their pork or beef ribs I truly enjoy them because they are easy to consume due to the melt in your mouth feel. The ribs are super tender and juicy. For their sides at the events/festivals I have tried their BBQ beans and corn bread that are also smoked in the rotisserie. They are good and have a nice mouth feel. The cornbread is not dry and have actual bits of corn in them. The BBQ beans are yummy, perhaps it's the bacon they add to the dish. People do say bacon makes everything taste better. I never really ate their coleslaw since I am not big on veggies but I hear it's pretty good as well. At the OC Fair there was this guy selling "THE BIG RIB." When I first saw it online I was like "WHAT?!?!" but then I saw other photos posted online and I figured it was not what it claimed to be. My boyfriend ended up buying one at the fair it was good but it was weird how the bone in "THE BIG RIB" was sliced in half which by the way does not occur naturally in nature so I figured something was up. It was good but not something we'd get again. Bolsa BBQ's also had their version of the big rib called the "Dino" bone or the short rib. It was pretty darn tasty. I prefer this version over the OC Fair one. I was already stuffed from the pork ribs and the Nephew's pulled pork nachos which included beans, cheese, coleslaw and a drizzle of BBQ sauce so took the rib home and ate it the next day. It was still good and MASSIVE. That thing can feed at least 2 people easy, but in my case ONE, YUM-O. As for the nachos they used actual nacho cheese and not the shredded stuff so that is always a two thumbs up for me. Nachos are not nachos when restaurants use the shredded stuff. From time to time they offer turkey legs as well and they are pretty tasty. My orders have always been correct, hot and fast so no complaints on that end. They even offer "kids meals," which not all food vendors tend to cater to at festivals. Just remembered, I did have a taste of their whole suckling pig with mango salsa once. Now that was good! It was like their pulled pork sandwiches but better. The contrast in hot smoked suckling pig combined with cool sweet tanginess of the mango and peppers made the dish. If I were to compare Bolsa BBQ's food to other BBQ restaurants, I would say Bolsa BBQ is above average so 4 stars. I almost forgot, they also give FREE SAMPLES of their pork/beef ribs and pulled pork during the events. Make sure you stop on by and try them out. You will be hooked! It's always nice to be able to sample the product before you buy, it's like buying a car or clothes.
