Our Cuban Kitchen is amazing! I've used their catering services multiple times, and my experience a few weeks ago was fabulous as usual. Sandy and Fermin are professional, and passionate about their food - and deliveries have always happened on time. I've actually never tried anything other than the roast pork and calabaza con mojo combos because they are THAT GOOD - and folks at my work won't let me order anything else. I've ordered catering from dozens of places in Bay Area over the years, and OCK is hands down the most requested by our staff. I'll definitely continue to be a repeat customer! read more

Our Cuban Kitchen catered a 10 year celebration gathering and I found the experience to be quite stress-less, which I truly appreciated. Fermin was such a pleasure to work with when discussing the menu for the event. Menu selection consisted of an appetizer, 3 main courses, 2 side dishes and a salad to feed over 80 guests. Each guest had their favorite which ranged from the skewered salmon (appetizers) and/or salad, to either the Chicken Fricassee, or the Ropa Vieja or the Calabaza con Mojo - which whatever dish selected was well complimented by the Congri (rice and beans) and the Maduros. Sadly (at least for the host) - there were no leftovers, which frankly, was really a good sign that the food was a hit!!! :) Note to host - keep a few dishes for yourself. :) I always truly believed that a great event would not go so well without great food. This was more than great, and because of that, the celebration gathering was a hit. I truly appreciated Fermin and Sandy's level of care for the presentation of the food, and the set up which was also accompanied by a description note by each food area for the guests to read. Would I have them cater again? - without a doubt!! Thank you Fermin and Sandy!!! read more

Sandy and Fermin made a trek all the way up to Pt. Reyes Station to cater our event, and are we ever glad they did. Wow. Amazing food; friendly, professional and on-time service; flexible to work with, and they delivered high quality food that got rave reviews throughout the evening. Make sure you have Fermin make plantains--they were amazing. I'd hire them again in a second. Did I mention the plantains? And so much more--even the rice and beans were special. If you're looking for an out of the ordinary culinary experience with friendly staff who cook delicious food, look no further. read more

I ordered catering from this business and was very pleased. The owners were very accommodating with our small budget and delivery needs. Fermin delivered and set up the food himself and was very professional about it. Lastly, the food was delicious! To my relief, our guests raved about the food. It may not be cheap, but that's because you're ordering from a couple who puts devotion into their food and service. Plus, it's Cuban food! read more

Delicious! Sadly, the Bay Area lacks good Cuban food. Not that I could tell the authentic from the non-authentic stuff so I'm just going off the boyfriend's word as well as the word of his family. Get the Cuban Donkey. I don't even like beans and I especially don't like beans invading my food but it adds something special to this appetizer. The owners even came out and introduced themselves to us! They were very nice and seemed very grateful that we came to visit their establishment. It's a bit on the pricier side that I would've liked but it was still very good and we'll definitely be going back. I'll be getting that drunken cupcake again! read more

Our Cuban Kitchen catered a dinner last night for a corporate event. They delivered a truly tasty meal - I recommend them strongly. I didn't try the pork dish they brought, but the folks that had it enjoyed it. The plantain, rice and butternut squash dishes they put out were tasty and really complemented each other well. Butternut squash, which can be a boring pile of paste, was the standout dish, with lots of flavor and a great texture. Their Mojitos were among the best I've had - absolutely fresh and minty. read more

Every aspect of our experience with Our Cuban Catering was completely wonderful. We were hosting a meet and greet party for our Cuba medical mission group. So, we thought having a Cuban feast before going to Cuba would be perfect. I inquired about their services via email and Sandra was so quick to respond to all my correspondence. She planned out the following fabulous menu for us: Chicken Fricasee - the sauce and the meat melted in your mouth and all fused together so well! Calabazo con Mojo - delicious. the butternut squash was so fresh! Congri - perfect mix of beans and rice...not too salty. PERFECTION! Maduros - who doesn't love sweet plantains?! Ensalata Mixta - I have never had such an amazing salad and the dressing was to DIE for. Tres Leches Cupcakes - YUM!YUM!YUM! So light and perfectly balanced in flavor! All the ingredients they used were very fresh and I think they are all local too! The price was GREAT! Sandra and Fermin even delivered to our house. They are both so nice and you can really tell they love what they do. They set everything up and the disposable ware they stored the food in looked really presentable for our casual dinner party. This was such a great experience that I want to organize another party just so I can try the other items on their menu. Thanks so much, Sandra and Fermin! We look forward to working with you again! read more

I reached out to OCK to cater our company's Family Picnic. Sandy was so helpful in planning out a fantastic menu and making sure they knew exactly what we wanted. They dropped off the food, piping hot and fresh, right to our picnic tables at the Temescal Regional Park area. They got rave reviews from everyone who attended, everyone loved the tender flavorful meats and the butternut squash was the surprise hit! We would definitely work with them again, top notch service and delicious food! read more

Sandy brought the tres leches cupcakes made by OCK to our holiday party and they were a hit! I would love to taste the entrees if their desserts are any indication of the quality of food they are offering. read more

This is some next level food here. Perfectly balanced cuban cuisine, with just the right balance of light, fruity, heavy, sweet, spicy, rich, meaty, savory you name it. Every element can be tasted in every single dish, from the beans to the empanadas to the ropa viaje. It is all exquisite and if you can catch them for dinner you are in for a sure treat. read more

AMAZING! After eating the food just once I became their biggest fan! The chicken fricassee and plantains are fabulous. Loved the tres leches cupcakes and the Queso y Guayaba! Fermin (the chef) delivers the food himself and gives an overview of the menu, almost making you feel like you're on an episode of top chef. Our vegetarians declared that they always dread catered food because they end up with a salad. With OCK they had a host of side dishes accompanied with roasted squash that got rave reviews. By recommending OCK to clients and friends I've become the toast of the town! read more

I attended the soft launch of Our Cuban Kitchen as a guest, and I had a wonderful experience all around! As a Florida native, I know some good Cuban food and was so sad when I came to the bay area and realized they were seriously lacking in that department. Lo and behold, 2 months later this restaurant opened to cure my homesick tummy. I had the chicken fricase and it was delicious. The tostones were crisy and the yucca fritas were perfectly sweet and crunchy. My only wish is that they had chicken and yellow rice, but I will definitely be back to try something else again! I can't sing their praises enough: great people and food made with love. read more

Our Cuban Kitchen catered a bridal shower buffet for me and it turned out great. Sandra was super accommodating and worked closely with me to develop the perfect menu. She was responsive to all of my questions and at the last minute even threw in a couple portions of a squash dish for my vegetarian guest. We had Ropa Vieja, Chicken Feicassee, Congi and Maduros. All delicious and generous portions provided. We had a small about of Ropa Vieja left but nothing else. The chicken dish was my favorite. I love Cuban food and had high exceptions. My expectations were met. read more

Our Cuban Kitchen catered a 40-person birthday party at my house. The guest of honor, my 75-yr old mom, is pretty hard to impress. She and everyone at the party commented on how delicious the food was. They came and set it up the day of. The next day, they arrived at the time we agreed upon to take the equipment back, leaving lots more time for me to spend with guests during the party and cleaning up the next day. I don't often use caterers and they were very patient and kind, explaining the details to me to help me along in the decision-making and planning process. The were so nice, helpful, and professional, and the food was so fresh and delicious that it makes me want to have another party! read more

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday dinner without knowing anything about the restaurant besides yelp reviews and we were more than presently surprised. We were quickly greeted by a fantastic waitress and later the owner herself, who not only provided us with excellent recommendations for food and drink, but also took the time to chat with us about informal topics as well! We sadly were unable to talk with the chef due to the busy night, which was too bad because I heard he's fun. The mojitos were delicious and certainly packed a punch. My girlfriend commented to me at one point that she was getting noticeably tipsy after half a glass, which surprised us both because she can usually hold her own with the booze! We loved the yucca appetizer and split the delectable Sampler plate, one that cannot be recommended enough. I didn't get a chance to taste any of the pork though, the Cuban specialty, because the lady friend doesn't eat it. The fish, chicken, and beef, though, were top-notch! I can't recommend this place enough. Fantastic food, great service, and a good ambiance. Support this awesome new addition to what was already an Oakland restaurant! read more

Our Cuban Kitchen catered our small backyard wedding reception and did a wonderful job. Some of our guests had never tasted Cuban food before and were a little skeptical, but afterward ALL of our guests raved about how delicious the food was. It's hard for me to even pick what I liked the most because everything was so good, but the ropa vieja, heirloom tomato salad, plantains, and tres leches cupcakes especially stick out in my mind. Sandra and Fermin are very professional and took care of everything as expected. I highly recommend them. read more

Our Cuban Kitchen is hands down the best Cuban food I've ever tasted. The flavors are well balanced, the perfect combination of sweet and savory that just keep you coming back for more. I still daydream about their picadillo (deliciously flavored ground beef with olives and raisins) served over congri (traditional rice and beans) and of course their fried plantains! Fermin and Sandra are passionate about their food and about Cuban culture. They bring a fun, light-hearted atmosphere to their catering events but remain true professionals. Trust me, you will be a hit if you have Our Cuban Kitchen cater your event. read more

Let me start by saying that I have been to Cuba. I ate very well there and feel in love with the people and the music along with the food. I have needed a fix and sadly until tonight could not get my Jones. But I just had some AMAZING Cuban food @ OuR CuBaN KiTcHeN! I have been missing Cuba 3 years + and this was almost like being back on the island. Warm and full of love...special thanks to the owners who gave us so much hospitality and delicious food & the staff for amazing service!!!! Heart them. I want to get the Cuba crew together for a reunion and freak this joint! Sangria, chicken fricasse (sp), Cuban donkey yummy, Con leche, sampler plate with slow roasted pork and plantains! I'm in heaven.... The amazing end was the queso and guayana (sp) I missed this flavor the most!! Sandy and Fermin are such sweethearts this is no longer on the menu and they.... after much begging and pleading...ok graveling whipped it up for me and it didn't disappoint. I say for only 1 month of running this joint there may be some kinks... the learning curve is to be expected. Mind you we really saw none of this. My only complains... are other then not having one of the apps I craved and the heat lap outside turning off ever 5 mins. Is that The chicken needed a touch of salt but man was it juicy! ( I had a blast) Hope to be back soon. Thank you Sandy And Fermin! Go support an amazing couple, cuisine and culture!!! What are ya'll waiting for?????? intimate setting if your a party of 6 might need a reservation! read more

This is one of the best chicken I ate. We are at a birthday party and food is catered. We could not resist but asked who catered. Everything we are testing is great. Roasted pork is wonderful. read more

Our Cuban Kitchen catered a going-away party at my home for about 35 guests. The food was nothing short of superb! The butternut squash was a runaway hit, the chicken fricassee was tender and flavorful, and people couldn't stop eating those plantains and beans and rice. I've never gotten so many compliments on a catered meal. Fermin arrived right on time, provided instructions on how to keep the food warm, and was gracious and friendly all around. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat. What a find! The best Cuban food in the Bay Area, and the nicest, most professional caterers. read more

We arrived in time for the $5 mojitos on a Saturday! That's enough reason to visit right there. Sandra and Fermin offer tasty Cuban food and drink with a fun and friendly atmosphere. The patio is especially relaxing. I have never been to Cuba but their food was outstanding and the best tasting of any Cuban food I have tried. The Cuban Donkeys, flavorful pork and plantain wraps, were a great appetizer! The Calabaza con Mojo - Butternut squash simmered until tender topped with abuela Estela's garlic sauce and roasted pumpkin seeds - was succulent and tasty. Our other main course, slow-roasted pork with congri (rice and black beans) and fried plantains, was to die for! For dessert, the Borracho ("heavenly rum-infused, three milks, drunken cupcake, topped with pure whipped cream") was pure delight! Excellent friendly night of tasty food and drink! read more

Sandra and Fermin catered our outdoor wedding party for 200 people and did a phenomenal job. They were very easy and professional to work with and developed a diverse buffet menu within our budget. We and our guests were totally wowed by the food. Hands down best wedding meal I've ever had, from the rice and beans and lemon pork to the cupcakes, just full of flavor. We brought home a huge tray of leftovers; gone by dinnertime the next day. OCK went above and beyond in terms of service, too. I can't wait to have another event that needs catering so I can get some more of that insanely delicious food. read more
