    We are at church and the food was good
    Pretty L.

    We had a community event and the food was amazing! The yams, pasta, and chicken were delicious. Thank you Chef Drip!

    Meat and two with ribs, yams and Mac & Cheese
    Bee D.

    So I went online to Vallejo Community Group page because I was hurting for. Meat and three with Mac and cheese. This was recommended as a local spot that could give me what I wanted. They did not disappoint! Large portion that will be three meals for me. And I added a side of cabbage that was tender but not wilted with smoked sausage. Baked macaroni that still had body to it. Delicious candied yams. And three large pork ribs. I am diabetic so I'm used to low sodium and it was a wee bit too much for me, but the flavor was on point. And next time I'll get the bbq sauce on the side, I liked the flavor of the ribs as they were. Another plus, no long wait for the food. Hubs was gone and back before I missed him. Open, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

    Pork ribs

    So many mix emotions about this place. I may go back for the chicken wings becuase it was garlicky goodness and fried just right while remaining juicy. The garlic noodles is heavy on salt and mushy, the ribs were over cooked and hard. :( I wanted to love this place but it's so hard when I can't eat 50% of my food.

    What we received
    Mark K.

    So . . . it's been a few days since Thanksgiving, and I'm still not happy - so, if it shows in this review please understand my frustration. We had ordered a smoked turkey from here based on a word-of-mouth review. The turkey was $130, and apparently there were only 100 available that day. The photos and videos and videos on their Instagram looked good, so we went ahead. What a surprise we received! When the turkey arrived Thursday afternoon at home, we all had the same thought - no wayyyyyy!! The turkey was black. Not golden, not brown, but black - as in burned, charcoaled and crisped beyond recognition. We asked the family member who picked it up (it's a 45 minute drive from our house to Vallejo) if he asked about its condition, and he said they replied "that's the way it (the turkey) cooks." Well, in decades of having home cooked turkeys, and turkeys smoked elsewhere, none of the 7 adults had EVER seen a turkey cooked like this one was. I've included some pics from their Instagram and you can see the difference from what they advertised, and what they delivered. The shock really didn't wear off of us as we started dinner, and with some (limited) hope we tried the meat in side, hoping it was not affected. Hope springs eternal, and reality stopped us short in that fantasy hope - the meat was destroyed as well as the outside. The wings were atrophied, the legs were tough to pull apart, and the breasts were dry as well - you could grab a piece with your hands and literally break it in half like it was styrofoam. And, the whole carcass had a nasty burned smell, not smoky in any positive way, but like it had been through a house fire. The smell of freshly burned turkey permeated the kitchen AND the meat! Even if edible texture wise, the odor of the meat was like eating a campfire circle. Unpleasant on many levels. Not ONE of the 7 adults could eat any of it other than a sample taste to see if such was even possible. It was not. We are not sure what happened, but if this is what they consider an example of "Here at Ruby Jewels Catering we take great pride in the meals we prepare ..." and if what they stand for is "Commitment . . . Quality . . . Pride" (their website) then I think they need a new mission statement or better quality control. In any case, to pass this off to someone for the very high price of $130 is a travesty. If you are considering them for food service or catering, just remember this story of the trust we put in them for our family Thanksgiving dinner.

    Ribs over mac n cheese
    Jenna T.

    This was a little challenging to find especially at night since it's a small window between an office and laundry mat. No signage and no fancy lights, the only reason why we knew we got here was the people waiting outside & the number on the building. Highly recommend ordering online so your wait doesn't have to be that much longer. Our online order said it would be ready by 7:30pm, got there around 7:35pm and the order didn't come out until about 8pm. The lady was super nice and thanked us for our patience while the dude simply brushed us off saying "about 10 more min, i'm busy". LOL Anyway, the food came out piping hot which is a good sign. The total was about $60 for both plates. The fried shrimp was good but a little heavy on the salt. The garlic noodles had great flavor but the noodles seemed a little overcooked and that can be from sitting in its own heat. I had a good piece of rib, but my friends said their pieces were a bit tough. We all loved the mac and cheese, though. I'm a big advocate in supporting local biz and especially Black owned, so come check this place out! It is pricey, but just think of it as a good cause and the food aint completely bad.

    Mac and cheese with bbq chicken
    Trina B.

    This place is talked about so much, I had to drive out 45 mins to try it out. It's almost hard to find. You wouldn't know about this place unless you heard about it because they don't have any signage outside. It's a little hole in the wall spot. I thought it was good. I liked it. I would definitely try it again. The Mac and cheese was good and the bbq chicken was very tasty. If you check in on Yelp you get a free drip lemonade. I loved that. Who doesn't love to get something free for checking in. Saved me $5, heck yes! Thank you very much.

    The wait is long. The portion size didn't match the price I paid. I'd go again because the food was good.

    Skip it. Not worth the drive. Food dry and staff homophobic. Not a fan. Plenty of other spots in Vallejo with a similar set up.

    Havana catered our baby shower. We ordered lechon, plantain crusted chicken, mac n cheese, corn…read moresaute and the mango spinach salad. Everything was delicious. It fed our crowd to satisfaction with plenty of leftovers! They delivered on time. Communication with staff was professional. They provide consistent high quality service and hard to beat prices. Highly recommend!

    I used Havana Catering for the first time for my baby shower this past weekend and had a really…read moregreat experience. I had heard of them before because a friend used them for their wedding, and since I plan events for a living, I've worked with a lot of caterers. For my own event though, price mattered a lot, but I still wanted really good food. After reaching out to a bunch of places, I went with Havana because I had tried their food before and their pricing was very reasonable. We ordered full trays of adobo chicken, lechon roasted pork, crispy tofu, paella, sofrito rice, black beans, corn, poblano mac and cheese, and plantains. I did bring in one dish from another restaurant, Jamaican oxtail, just because I know my guests are big foodies. The biggest hits from Havana were definitely the poblano mac and cheese, lechon, and the paella. Honestly, the mac and cheese was the standout. Everyone kept going back for it and I wish I had ordered an extra tray. What really stood out to me though was the delivery experience. The driver called me ahead of time, brought everything in, and set it all up. He opened the trays with gloves, added sauces, arranged everything nicely, and even put out utensils and labels. I've had plenty of catering deliveries before and this was easily one of the best. He was just genuinely kind and went above and beyond, and it made a big difference. Overall, everything went smoothly, the food was great, and I would definitely order from them again.
