Everything was delicious!!! My wife's taquitos were plump and piping hot. The rice and beans served with our meals were both pleasing and authentic. The agua frescas were good and homemade. Now, my chili verde....that was another story. It was fantastic, flavorful, tasty and spicy in a very good way. This is chili verde that my grandmother made for my picky grandfather and that I miss so much. Wow!!! What a treat. The next time we're in Cambria, I will have to find an excuse to suggest to my wife that we make the drive to Paso Robles for lunch/chili verde. Hopefully she will respond, "Orale!!!"'

The staff was very friendly considering the lady in front of me ordered 10 burgers and chips. Here's a hint lady, when you have that much food to order, that is called catering.

We used Fire to Fork Catering for the cocktail hour at my daughter's wedding on September 12, 2026,…read morein Los Olivos, and it was a great choice for us. From the minute I began talking with Stacey, she was friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. We did not have a wedding coordinator, so we were handling pretty much everything ourselves. I really didn't know what to expect when hiring a caterer for an event like this, and Stacey made the process easy. She worked through the menu with me, explained how everything would work, answered my questions, and even made the payment process simple by allowing me to send payments through Venmo. The food was plentiful, beautifully presented, and delicious. We had four different appetizers, including taquito cups, bacon-wrapped shrimp with the perfect combination of sweet and a little heat, mushrooms stuffed with chorizo, and carne asada sliders. My daughter, the bride, actually said, "I don't even like mushrooms, but I love these!" That says a lot! They traveled from Santa Maria to our wedding in Los Olivos, brought the appetizers, set everything up beautifully, provided table coverings, and the service was prompt and efficient. One thing I had completely overlooked was providing plates for our guests. That was something I should have taken care of, but in all the craziness of putting together a wedding without a coordinator, I simply didn't think of it. Stacey came to the rescue and kindly gave us a small stack of plates they had with them. It was a small gesture, but at that moment it was incredibly helpful and very much appreciated. If you are planning an event, especially if you are doing much of the coordinating yourself, I would absolutely recommend reaching out to Fire to Fork. Ask questions, discuss exactly what you need, and let them help you through the process. The food was excellent, the service was professional, and everything worked out wonderfully for our daughter's wedding. Thank you, Stacey and Fire to Fork, for helping make such an important day for our family go so smoothly! Our photographer captured all the food tables. I will add those pictures when they arrive!!

Fine Food.....Wrong Venue?…read more This is the first "less than 5 star" review for Fire To Fork. My comments are not quite the same as all the others because those focused on the catering side of the business. My review discusses Fire To Fork as 1 of 3 food providers for a concert at the Presqu'ile Winery on Saturday, August 8th. My wife and I are vegetarians and menus from the 2 food trucks at the winery's event sponsored by the Oasis Senior Center in Orcutt were 100% meat. Fire To Fork was listed as the 3rd provider so I called earlier that day to ask whether the promised "charcuterie board" would be appropriate for vegetarians. I left a message...kind of incomplete since the tape was only 30 seconds...but a very nice woman called back and said "we'll have a huge box with 10 types of cheese plus nuts, fruit and some meat for people who want it". She was super friendly. We got to the concert early and I was one of the first people at the Fire To Fork booth. My wife and I planned to share a "box" so I simply said "everything but the meat". The paper box was the type used for a couple of hot dogs. The guy in charge gave me 3 strawberries, 8 red grapes, 2 balls of caprese cheese with 2 cherry tomatoes, small chunks of another cheese, a few figs and one other dried fruit. A younger guy put 10 crackers in a smaller box. Since the cost was $35.....yes, $35.....I asked for some more cheese - especially since I didn't get any meat. He reluctantly added one ball of caprese. The contents of my "box" were fine, but worth $12...maybe $15. Since some of the money was probably going to the local non-profit, I could see a charge of $20. But $35 was an insult. Everything at the 2 food trucks was $10-15. The food itself was fine, but the portion meager. For similar events in the future where attendees pay for the food rather than one person or organization footing the bill, either lower the price or raise the amount of food provided.
