    Pete and his family have been an incredible blessing to our family and the entire community over the years. Pete's food is so delicious that we don't mind driving wherever his food truck is parked because the taste never disappoints. I remember one birthday, shortly after being diagnosed with cancer, my husband blindfolded me and led me to believe we were going out for a special treat. After being guided through a few doors and up a set of stairs, I guessed we were at a five-star restaurant in San Diego, given the 25-minute car ride. To my surprise, it was a catered event with impeccable service in our own home by Pete. The ambiance they created brought tears to my eyes. The table was set beautifully, the kids were at the neighbors, and my husband & I had a day off from the Navy. Everything was perfect, and Pete's kitchen will always have our support.

    It is truly an experience to work with Chef Pete Coleman. I was planning a girl's trip in Oceanside, CA. The first time my friends and I have seen each other since the pandemic. I wanted to plan something nice for us our first evening after a full day of traveling. During my first conversation with Chef Pete he listened and immediately caught my vibe and began making menu recommendations. Everything he recommended was right on par. Only one change had to be made a little later in the process but he was so very flexible. Chef Pete and April were prompt upon arriving to the location. Their attire was of culinary professionalism. They were attentive, attuned to our needs. The food was exquisite. Each course filled with so much flavor. The wine pairings were phenomenal. My only negative is probably only how rowdy my crew and I got towards the end of the amazing dinner. The food was spectacular, the drinks were flowing and the music we piped in had us in high spirits. I only hope Chef Pete and April will consider having us again.

I was expecting to see a Taco Tuesday special, but I didn't notice any particular deals. I ordered the Cousteau Fish Taco Plate, which came with two grilled Mahi Mahi tacos on homemade corn tortillas, topped with cabbage slaw, salsa cruda, fresh mango, and cilantro. I added the Caesar salad as a side for an additional $2. I also ordered the homemade guacamole with organic house tortilla chips fried in avocado oil. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I especially enjoyed the variety of chilled salsas they bring to the table, which made it easy to add different flavors to the tacos. I also appreciate their focus on organic ingredients and being seed-oil-free, without sacrificing flavor. The atmosphere is casual and open-air, with both indoor and outdoor seating right along Coast Highway. The service was friendly and relaxed, which fit the overall vibe of the restaurant. I wouldn't describe Haggo's as traditional or authentic Mexican food. It's more of a fresh, healthy, modern spin on tacos, burritos, salads, and bowls. For me, that's part of the appeal. The menu has plenty of options that look fresh, healthy, and flavorful. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other dishes!

Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

We had not anticipated such an amazing experience given it was for a small dinner party (10 ppl) versus a big event like a wedding or retirement party. The appetizers were amazing and dinner was perfect. We will definitely be coming back for any future needs. Everyone in our dinner party loved the food and the experience. Basically, we are all super fans!
