Huevos rellenos

My wife and I had an excellent experience hiring San Francisco Tapas to cater our wedding last weekend. Candido was extremely helpful and flexible at every point during the planning stage, and helped us feel comfortable and assured in the busy weeks leading up to the event. He and his crew prepared an assortment of tapas, several of the paellas, and desserts, and worked with us to make sure our guests dietary needs were met. During the event the guests were able to learn about paellas and Spanish cuisine and loved everything they ate (they made sure to tell us about it several times during the wedding and the next day!). Candido and his staff also communicated and coordinated flawlessly with the venue and entertainment, while making sure my wife and I were able to eat some of his delicious food. Thankfully we even had some leftovers, and we have continued to enjoy SFTapas food through this week. I am looking forward to trying the rest of the menu when we hire SFTapas again in the future!

Amazing paellas! Pictured here, one vegetarian and one seafood. Classic! Yum!!

Cándido and his crew will not disappoint! Authentic, delicious paella cooked for you on the spot -- quite a spectacle and a feast of yumminess. Add an astounding selection of classic Spanish tapas and your party is guaranteed a success. Great team, friendly service, awesome cuisine -- they have it all. Did I mention they throw in a delightful sangria for free?? Absolutely, highly recommended. Sí señor.

Holy smokes, the sandwiches from Calabria Bros are amazing! Upon walking in I said to myself "yeah…read morethis place is going to be good," and boy was I right. Their menu has a wide variety of sandwiches, meats, cheeses and bread. We opted for The Jake and The Uncle Dave; both were ridiculously delicious and HUGE. Do not be alarmed by the $20 price tag because the sandwiches are definitely large enough to share or eat for multiple meals. On top of serving great sandwiches the staff/owner are very friendly, helpful and customer service focused. I really appreciated them taking time to talk through the menus and make recommendations. Calabria Bros has a new fan in me!

Food: 4.0 | Service: 5.0 | Ambiance: 3.75-4.0…read more CALABRIA BROS deli at 4763 Mission Street is an old-school, nice neighborhood icon for well-constructed, hearty deli sandwiches. You're warmly greeted once you step inside. Regulars know what they want but do take a look their sandwich menu posted above. They take your order right at the front spot when you step in. This is more of a take and go place. First visit here so I tried THE DAN. You can opt to heat it up but I didn't since I was taking it with me while running errands. When I see Porchetta that's what's calling to me! THE DAN - PORCHETTA, Swiss, Mustard, Mayo, Oil, Vinegar, Hot Garlic, Pesto Garlic, Roasted Tomatoes, on Sweet Roll. Excellent, well put together sandwich. I like that the light touches of the Hot Garlic and Pesto Garlic was Not overpowering, and it came together as a well-balanced, huge, filling and tasty sandwich! I might switch out the bread to sourdough or Dutch Crunch next time. But definite yes I'd order again! RED POTATO SALAD - Red potatoes, egg, mayo, celery, parsley. Mild and creamy. I'd order this again. Will be back at CALABRIA BROS when in the neighborhood to try other sandwiches like THE JAKE, THE MIKEY & JESSICA, THE MARK, HOT CALABRESE, and what looks like a group effort sandwich, THE DOUBLE HEADER! Looks like they do catering too! See you there!

Chef Mai and her team did an amazing job of catering our 90-person wedding…read more * Food: Chef Mai created a delicious, personalized, Asian fusion menu for us. Dinner was buffet-style, and so many people went up for seconds and told us how good the food was. * Execution: We had an extremely tight timeline, thanks to the fact that our venue, a museum, didn't close to the public until 5pm. Her team kept everything running smoothly and finished cleaning up well before we needed to be out. * Value: We interviewed 13 (!) wedding caterers. Chef Mai was the only one whose proposal came in under our budget. She went above and beyond to make it work, even arranging to pick up our rentals to save on the delivery cost. Finally, Chef Mai is just a lovely, considerate person. We were taking photos during all of cocktail hour, so we didn't expect to have a chance to try our appetizers, but we found samples of them waiting at our seats when we sat down for dinner. We saw her personally wheeling our wedding cake out to make sure it got to the cake cutting in good shape. And when we badly underestimated how much ice we needed for the bar, she handled it herself so we could enjoy our wedding and only let us know about it the next day. I'm so glad I reached out to Mai's Place Catering - I almost skipped over them because of the lack of a website. They're a hidden gem!

Safia was quick to respond, provided a menu that was well thought out and incorporated our requirements, and extremely professional. Her staff was efficient and friendly as well. That aside, the food was the hit of the party, even the picky eaters (including children) loved it. Garlic noodles, shrimp, masubi, egg rolls, all of it. Even my Vietnamese dad who forgot his dentures loved the Viet salad goi because he was able to chew it lol. Which is a huge compliment because he never says anything positive. Portion size was generous for a 50 person party and delivery was smooth like butter. Wish I had business cards because everyone asked for contact info. Absolutely will be using Mai's Catering for future parties!!! Can't recommend highly enough.

From start to…read morefinish, Brian and his team made the process seamless with lightning-fast communication and the kind of customer service you rarely see anymore. This was my first time planning a party for 60 people, and I wanted to get it right. I researched a ton of different cuisines, but ultimately came back to City Smoke House because of their flawless track record. Honestly, I wish I hadn't wasted so much time exploring other options because City exceeded even my highest expectations. The party was at a nightclub in the Castro, and the delivery was perfectly on time. The customer service 1000%. They even provided custom cards for each dish so guests knew exactly what they were eating, a small but thoughtful touch that people really appreciated. We ordered brisket, pulled pork, chicken, smoked portobello mushrooms, barbecue sauces, mac & cheese, potato salad, and tossed salad. With an open bar, I didn't expect the food to steal the show, but it did. Friends and family were raving all night, , "Where is this food from?" The next day, my phone was blowing up with texts about the brisket, the mac & cheese, the works. (For the record: I'm extremely picky about mac & cheese, and City nailed it.) My cousin from the Midwest said that the portobello mushrooms were his favorite. The portions were so generous we had enough to host a next-day gathering to enjoy the leftovers, though the mac & cheese disappeared the night of the party so order extra! In a city like San Francisco, where great BBQ is rare, I only wish City Smoke House had a brick-and-mortar location I could frequent. This is a family-owned business that delivers in every possible way, and I'm beyond grateful to them for making my milestone celebration unforgettable. I hope they stay booked and busy. THANK YOU BRIAN and team City Smoke House.

But I have to give a special shoutout to Tim! He was honestly one of the highlights of the evening. He personally went around to the tables, chatted with guests, told jokes, and kept everyone entertained. People absolutely loved him! He has such a fun personality and really added something special to the whole experience. Joanne was also wonderful, and you could tell they had a great, organized team working together. If you're booking Paella Time for your wedding or event, definitely request Tim if you can. He's the best!

Outstanding Live Catering for a Large Group!…read more We hired Paella Time for a 45-person event at our home, and Ralph and his team completely knocked it out of the park! Watching the paella come together live in giant pans in the backyard was a huge hit with our guests and created a fantastic, festive atmosphere. The spread was incredible--authentic, rich, and full of flavor across the meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. On top of the main dish, the tapas and fresh salads were delicious, and the service was seamless from start to finish. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food (and several took home leftovers!). If you want to host a stress-free event with unforgettable, high-quality food, I highly recommend Paella Time. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat!
