They came early and set up everything before my cocktail hour. They made sure everything was good. The set up was beautiful and the food was delicious. My guests loved it. To the point, 2 of my guests ended up placing an order from them recently. I would definitely order from them again in the future.

I think it's because I usually wind up spending too much on too little of whatever the food item is. Well, let me just say that CB has changed my mind!! I picked up a chocolate tart, a pistachio tart, and a tropical eclair. The flavors and textures were magical, with little bursts of hidden flavors adding complexity to the eclair, in particular. The tarts were both rich, velvety and delectable, with the perfect fat to sugar ratio. Really enjoyed each of the items, and can't wait to try more!!

Every taco was fresh, beautifully prepared, and packed with authentic Mexican flavor. You can immediately taste the quality of the high-grade meats and fresh produce -- from the perfectly seasoned carne asada to the tender chicken and flavorful al pastor. The tortillas were fresh, the toppings were vibrant and crisp, and every detail felt thoughtfully crafted. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was, and several people went back for thirds. Beyond the food itself, the service was professional, friendly, and organized from start to finish. This is not your average taco catering -- it's elevated, authentic Mexican cuisine that truly stands out.

Everyone made comment that the food was fantastic, and they weren't kidding. Margarita uses her own spices on the meats to make them taste better than any taco I've had! She also makes her own red and green salsas, which were also wonderful. Their interaction with our guests was very friendly and accommodating, patiently helping 60+ guests. At the end of day 2, they quickly and quietly backed up their equipment, gave us the leftovers, and said goodbye. If we ever have another event, we will use Pink Taquiza again without hesitation! If you're looking for a top-notch Mexican food caterer, I highly recommend Pink Taquiza!!

As Momma Yelp would say, "Holy crap what a party!"…read more Review #400. Mid October of 2009 Porsche planned the United States debut of its first four door sedan, a festively named rocket ship know as the Panamera. Beverly Hills Porsche had the pleasure and duty to help with the Los Angeles unveiling. It's been quite a while since I've organized such an important event and with ever shrinking marketing budgets I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the idea of pulling off something as big as this. I started calling in favors form friends in the event planning business. It didn't take long to realize things could very easily get out of hand and go terribly over budget. I started to put the word out that I needed something special yet affordable and after a few stellar recommendations and a bucket load of due diligence I decided to contact Michael Kay form Kitchen 12000. Originally I was only looking for a catering company that could handle the food and beverage service. I thought I had the rest of the bases covered. However after meeting with Michal I decided to let his mad genius take over the better part of my event. We decided to call the project Viva Panamera! Michael sourced a top notch DJ, a crew of professional photographers and a crack security team. His Kitchen 12000 chefs, servers and bar staff had already established a great reputation and became the corner stone of this project. The 24 hours leading up to an event is always the most stressful. Michael and his staff kept re assuring me that this was going to be an experience that my guests would not soon forget. The stress kept building as the event grew nearer. Several of the key components that I had been working on started to fall apart and of course the torrential rains moved in. Michael worked with me on a contingency work around just incase the rain forced the event indoors. He also offered to pick up some of the slack my other vendors were hanging me up with. Looking back K-12000 got 80% of my budget and did 110% of the work. Next time I write one check and let them do it all. The Panamera launch was a qualified success! Mother Nature moved the rain clouds to the east, the sun dried off the grounds and Kitchen 12000 brought their A-game. The K-12'ers arrived and Beverly Hills Porsche underwent a transformation from car lot to night club. Everything looked amazing! The red carpet style entry with paparazzi press wall impressed. The flowers, candles, tables, bars and DJ booth all worked their magic to create the right mood. When the food came out my guests were truly impressed. I had a few people tell me over and over again how much they loved the prosciutto wrapped dates unless that was just the little voices in my head. From beginning to end everything went off as planned with one exception. I didn't budget enough for booze. Thankfully Michael came to the rescue and had some emergency bottles delivered to save my skin. I applaud Michael Kay and the outstanding performance by the entire Kitchen 12000 team. Viva Panamera! I've posted pictures of the event to my Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/beverlyhillsporsche/sets/72157622644428710/ I can't wait for the next excuse to throw a party using K-12000!

Where do I start?! She's so AMAZING in every way and she was lovely from the moment I met her which…read morestarted with the food tasting. She walked in very professional and did her thing we even managed to get in a few laughs with my crazy friend and my mom and step dad. She adjusted the menu as we tasted and I mentioned to her that my now husband was a super foodie and that I really was judging for him...I know right!? "no pressure" My husband last minute could not make the tasting because he had to work so we were being critics in his honor. Anyways that day she asked me how much time I would need and how many tasting I was having? and I said a few more lol but I already knew I would go with her and did not need to do any other tastings. She was great to communicate, easy to pay, she worked with my budget while still having incredible quality in food. She is so sweet and his this wonderful calming vibe about her that just makes you feel at ease. Okay so let's skip to the wedding day. The lovely staff brought the bridal party appetizers during cocktail hour since we were on the other side taking pictures, so she made sure she fed us too and we got to enjoy everything. Then she started the buffet and everyone was loving the food (see photos attached) beautiful set-up, the chicken was to the perfect temp ( she undercooked it so it wouldn't dry out while on the buffet table). Her and her staffed helped with all the cleaning and cake cutting services and packed everything up for me. Every time I looked around I saw her around helping out and that was just beyond any of my expectations. My day of coordinator went out of her way to tell me that it was a pleasure working with her and her staff. All of my next events that need catering will definitely be through her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my long awaited 10-year dream a reality. Oh and cute note, she even packed the leftover food in containers and wrote on them, Congratulaions Jonas and Stephanie. " Cute touch" We happily ate her leftover food all week. :)

The presentation, the flavors, and the care she…read moreput into every detail made our son's life ceremony at the church an unforgettable experience. Her menu was nothing short of spectacular--thoughtfully blending Spanish heritage with Asian influences so all of our guests felt embraced and delighted. The tortilla española and vegetable spring rolls were the clear stars of the menu--authentic, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. But the flan... oh, the flan! Every one of our Spanish family agreed it was even better than Abuela's (a statement not made lightly). It was the most heavenly flan we've ever tasted--creamy, rich, and perfectly set. Guests are still talking about it. The lavender lemonade was also a refreshing and elegant touch that paired beautifully with the meal. The full menu included: Tortilla Española Chicken Croquettes Serrano Ham Skewers Chicken Satay Vegetable Spring Rolls Edamame Cups Chicken & Beef Sliders Finger Sandwiches Fruit Cups Veggie Cups with Dip Assorted Cookies Mini Flan Sheet Cake Slices Non-Alcoholic Beverages (highlight: lavender lemonade!) Beyond the outstanding food, Chef Jesse was a dream to work with. Communication was effortless--she listened closely to our wishes, considered the diverse tastes of our guests, and created a menu that exceeded every expectation. On the day itself, her team was efficient and discreet, even with our event sandwiched between a baptism and a wedding. They set up seamlessly, served with grace, and left the space spotless--not a crumb or trace of evidence once they finished. Leftovers were thoughtfully packed for our guests to take on their journeys home, which was such a kind and meaningful touch. We could not recommend Chef Jesse more highly. Her culinary artistry and professionalism brought immense comfort and joy to a day that meant so much to us. If you are fortunate enough to have her cook for your event, you are in for a true gift.

It was served with salad, chicken fried rice, edamame and veggies. Plenty of food and so delicious! The company sent 3 employees. 2 chefs and 1 helper. They were so friendly and attentive. They set up quickly, the presentation looked wonderful, and all the guests had a really good time. I was nervous as I chose this company from looking online and didn't know anyone who had personally used them. I placed a $200 deposit and then they sent me a form to add in the details of the event, with final details (head count, allergies, etc.) due 10 days in advance. I never heard from them so I just sent it in. Which they acknowledged receiving. And then full payment is due 3 days before the event. Never heard from them. Two days before the event I had to reach out and ask for the invoice, which they promptly sent. I was nervous with the lack of communication although they always responded if I reached out. But they showed up early, surveyed the space in the backyard and figured out the table set up within the space available. One of the chefs did a lot of entertaining while cooking, where we noticed the second chef on the other grill didn't do as much. The helper was fantastic but I can see how the experience varies depending on the chef. The clean up was fast and thorough. There was zero clean up for us to do. We had a great experience and will absolutely use them again for special celebrations.
