VT was very responsive via text and email through the event planning process, answering all my questions. And there were a hit at my husband's 50th birthday party! Everyone raved about the food and service, requesting business cards. Garrett, Anthony and Elijah were slightly early to our event, which was welcomed. They were so pleasant, helpful, efficient, respectful and professional. They made hosting easy! We appreciated the extra canopy on a warm and sunny day, sharing what to expect and packing all the leftovers, including complimentary gallon containers for the extra aguas frescas. Everyone enjoyed the steak, al pastor and sea bass tacos, elote cups, guacamole, horchata, cucumber lemonade, paletas and churros! All delicious! We won't hesitate to go with Vatos Tacos again!

Wow... Hosted an…read moreevent with about ~115 people. While I was unfamiliar with ordering food for a large number of people, Priscilla helped recommend the amount of food for the requirements, "I don't want to run out of food during the event" and "we love desserts". Another side note: I was catering snacks rather than a meal. I ended up ordering - tri-tip - mashed potatoes - roasted veggies - assorted bread - lemon garlic salmon - veggie garlic pasta - Greek salad - dinner rolls - fresh fruit display - fresh fruit tarts - petit fours - gluten free mini cupcakes: red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, lemon I appreciate that Priscilla suggested to halve the salmon fillets to have double the number of salmon pieces for guests to have snack portions rather than meal portions. Although mini cupcakes were not listed on her menu, she was able to provide them. Also, you can ask her about gluten free desserts. You can have more than just macarons. Compliments I received... "Did you make the food? The salmon and tri-tip were so juicy." "This is better than most wedding food." 2 people inquired who I used to cater for the event. I received general praise that the food was good. I received explicit praise that the petit fours and fruit tarts were good. The mashed potatoes were thick but good. Passion for catering's setup and tear down went smoothly. It was maybe 20-30 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of tear down. I appreciate that they were able to provide decor for the food tables. They also provided some takeout containers for us to take leftover food. 10/10 would cater from them again.

I don't even know where to begin... Priscilla absolutely blew me away! My graduation party was a…read moretotal surprise, planned by my brother, and the food was one of the biggest highlights of the day. Every single dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with so much love and care. You can tell she puts her heart into her work. From the small details to the bold flavors, everything was thoughtful and intentional. Guests are still talking about how amazing the food was ...and trust me, we're a tough crowd to impress! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also kind, professional, and easy to work with. If you're looking for a caterer who brings soul to the table and takes pride in her craft, Passion for Catering is it! I'm so grateful to have experienced her work and will absolutely be recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you for making such a special day even more unforgettable. You truly outdid yourself!

Im in the market for a catering service for a party in a few months and heard this was the place to…read morego. So of course we had to try their food before committing to a contract. This business is located across the street from the union city bart station. There's a parking lot on site and street parking in front but not too much. Inside is clean and modern decor with a traditional mexican vibe, if that's possible. Next to the counter is a salsa bar with other forget me nots such as onions, jalapeños, radishes etc. I ordered a few tacos to get a feel for their strengths and weaknesses in their meats. If you know me, you know my philosophy on taquerias and taco trucks. You cant judge off of one item because you might miss out on their main focused dish. Anyway, I got a steak, al pastor, Chile verde and the 2 different shrimp variant tacos. All of them checked out, not a single weakness on the menu. The salsa was on the more bland side. If they bring some more heat or flavor, this place could be unstoppable. Especially for the area, because I haven't really found a spot I could put my name next to. All in all, this is an authentic mexican joint that can be enjoyed by all walks of life. The service was great, as well.. the staff was friendly and patient, answering all of our questions. I definitely recommend this place

Food and service was great! All the guests loved the food and took home leftovers which is exactly…read morewhat I needed. The decor and arrangements were good too but I would say they might look better indoors than outdoor. They had a lot of decor options to choose from. The only con I had was with the menu; it is not descriptive enough to understand the ingredients and meat. Since the names of the dishes are also very traditional, you are left guessing at what they are. I would say confirm what the dishes are/ ingredients to make sure they cater to your taste.

I ordered catering for a memorial gathering and specifically requested delivery at 2:00 PM. I…read moreconfirmed the address and delivery time by text as requested. At 1:45 PM on the day of the event, I received a message that the food had just been sent by Uber. Concerned, I reached out for confirmation but received no response for 30 minutes. The food ultimately arrived about an hour late. When I later discussed the situation with the owner, I had hoped for understanding and a simple acknowledgment of the mistake. Instead, I was met with repeated excuses and defensiveness. Despite the clear communication leading up to the event, there was no apology and no acceptance of responsibility for the late delivery. The food itself was good. However, what left the most negative impression was not the delay itself, but the complete lack of accountability afterward. Delays happen, but customers deserve honest communication and ownership when things go wrong. Unfortunately, because of the way this situation was handled, I cannot recommend this business to others and will not be using their services again.

We submitted a catering quote request, and to our surprise, Richard called to discuss it. Unfortunately, the call was not the kind of interaction you'd hope for when trying to plan an event. It left us wondering--why is Richard the one calling back customers instead of Minh? I'm writing this in the hopes that Minh will reach out to me directly with a contact number so we can move forward and work with Aloha Catering. Otherwise, we'll need to start exploring other catering options. I will update this review once I hear back from Minh.

It was truly one of the best catering experiences I have had from the professionalism of the onsite staff to the exceptional quality of every dish served. I was unfortunately too busy managing the event (and enjoying the food) to take photos, but the menu absolutely deserves recognition. Highlights included the perfectly seasoned Farmer's Market Scramble, Chicken Apple Sausage, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce, and Herb Roasted Potatoes for breakfast. Lunch featured incredibly tender Short Ribs, perfectly glazed and moist Grilled Chicken, grilled polenta, and the best honey butter cornbread I have ever had. Our guests consistently commented on how outstanding the food was...and this group is not easily impressed when it comes to catering. A sincere thank you to Pinky and the entire team for delivering such a seamless and memorable experience. I will absolutely keep PINX Catering in mind for future events and would highly recommend them to others.

We requested a savory bread pudding which they were happy to accommodate (other caterer's we asked would not.) The delivery of tableware, linens etc the night before was already organized in groups of 10 for each table which made set-up easy-peasy! There was a terrible storm that caused a power outage which effected delivery but they bent over backwards to fulfill the contract. And despite the electrical issue, everything was DELICIOUS. We will definitely be using Elite Catering again!

My friend's mom recently died and because of a large number of friends and family (her mom was…read morenumber four out of eleven kids) she needed a place that could accommodate between 200 to 500 people for the funeral reception. What made it even harder is she had no idea how many people would show up. We had the event right next to Skywest Restaurant behind Hayward Airport next to the golf course in a building that had screen walls. This made it convenient to raise the walls in case more than 240 people showed up at the location. Mercy and her crew made the entire event very easy on everyone involved. The prices were reasonable, the food was decent (not like we ordered the most expensive and delicious things on the menu) and the catering went flawlessly. I can't say enough good things about how Elite Catering was professional and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend them!

The ordering process is very efficient, as you just order on a tablet and your order is automatically put into the system. The restaurant was very clean, and not very busy at all. We tried the Jumbo Shrimp Teriyaki Bowl and the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, and we were super pleased with both dishes! I loved that it came with a lot of rice, and that the veggies were steamed well. I also liked that I could serve myself as much teriyaki as I wanted, as I'm a sauce girl. My boyfriend enjoyed his spicy chicken bowl, and noted that the spicy mayo on top was a perfect addition to the dish. The service was quick and only took around 6 or 7 minutes for the food to come out, which was perfect. The only thing is that their soda machine seemed to be malfunctioning, as my boyfriend got a root beer that was probably 85% syrup and was super thick! Other than that, the food was very good for a quick, nutritious meal.

We hired Henry for a birthday party for a group of family and friends (around 70 people, including…read morekids), at the park this weekend, and he did a fantastic job! It was so convenient to have someone else take care of all the shopping, prepping, and cooking. Our guests loved the food. Many took home business cards. Henry was so easy to work with, my wife and I were wondering if we missed any important planning steps. Haha. It took just a few emails to get a quote, secure the date, and finalize the menu. Henry and his son showed up at the park exactly when he said he'd be there, and the food was cooked on premise, exactly on time. Henry sources all the ingredients from Costco and buys everything needed the day before. I'm a huge fan of all things Kirkland. Always solid quality and value. I've been pretty lazy about writing Yelp reviews lately. Figured I'd write one for Grillaxin since many of the other reviews are years old, and the website seems to be defunct. I think they're more active on Instagram now.
