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.

Wow- can't believe I haven't written a review of this iconic Bay Area family catering business!…read more If you live in the bay there's a very high chance you've had Rafael's Catering in one of your social events. They have been around since I've been a kid and I've had the pleasure of eating their delicious grub at weddings, birthdays, baby showers (including my own), graduations, you name it! They offer a popular international menu which includes their trademark rotisserie chicken (my fave!) and several delicious Filipino entrees including pancit, menudo and a whole lechon! They also have a classic American menu (pasta, mashed potatoes, ham, chicken, roast beef, etc.). Their prices are fair and the food is so good! The owners, Joe and Frankie Santos and their family are amazing. They have a knack for simultaneously exuding professionalism and making you feel like family. Thank you Santos family for always providing A+ catering service to the Bay Area!

Eileen was efficient, kind, and incredibly responsive. We connected through Yelp, and before I knew it, we had moved the conversation to text. She was direct yet flexible, open to different styles of cuisine, and worked with me to create a menu that fit my budget. Within just a few hours, I had a tailored menu that blew me away. Her reviews on Yelp already spoke highly of her skills, and I'm here to add to the chorus of praise! The food she prepared for my annual holiday lunch was nothing short of exceptional--fresh, flavorful, and cooked with so much care and love. My family was spoiled with a feast that left everyone raving! Not only was the meal unforgettable, but there were also plenty of leftovers. Everyone packed up extras for their lunch and dinner, and I personally enjoyed the deliciousness for two more days. Chef Eileen delivered a menu for 12 that exceeded all expectations, and she's local and willing to deliver--an added bonus! I will absolutely be calling her again and encourage you to do the same. Don't hesitate--she's a gem! Everything was so good I forgot to take pics!!!

I was stoked that they cooked everything fresh on site and didn't just have food in warmers. We got to choose among proteins and veggies, and the salsa bar was awesome. Kids and adults alike really enjoyed the churros too! They boxed up all leftovers after the event, so we ate tacos for leftovers and froze a bunch too for later. The only thing one of my friends said was that paying extra for salad wasn't worth it because the salad was just from a bag. Everything was delicious, and I ate too much!

The lady who took my order was super nice but I do have to warn you the prices are a little steep. $8 for 1 bbq skewer? I didn't try this but I did try: 1. Mexipino lumpia (birria lumpia?) - This was delicious and less messier to eat than a taco. It had the same great flavors. $15 for 4 pieces cut in half was steep but it did hit the spot at the event. 2. Cali drip - I was excited to try this. I'm a big fan of calamansi. Sadly, this disappointed me. It was all sugar and less tart. It reminded me of the sugary kool-aid my aunties and uncle's used to make. It's like when you buy an alcoholic beverage and it has no alcohol. I'd love to give this place another try and maybe try the bbq sticks.
