I cannot say enough wonderful things about Adriana's Cocina and Catering! Adriana helped cater a…read morehousewarming baby shower for us, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. Adriana herself is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and patient. She worked closely with me to make sure the menu accommodated the dietary needs of a very diverse group of guests, which I truly appreciated. She made the planning process so easy and stress-free. The food was absolutely delicious! We had a fantastic variety of dishes--from flavorful fajitas to savory meatballs--and everything was a hit with our guests. Adriana also prepared beautiful veggie and fruit platters that were just as impressive visually as they were fresh and tasty. On top of that, the portions were extremely generous, which we really appreciated. The staff who came to set up were equally wonderful. They were meticulous, organized, and took the time to clearly explain how to heat and serve everything so the food would be perfect throughout the event. If you're looking for catering for any event, I highly recommend Adriana's Cocina. The quality of the food, the professionalism, and the care Adriana puts into her work truly stand out. I plan to work with her for all of my future events--five stars honestly isn't enough. I would give more if I could!

On the day of, her team was extremely friendly, helpful, and perfectly on time. The set up was BEAUTIFUL - she asked for some decor inspiration so that her set up was cohesive with the rest of the event - so thoughtful! I wish I took more photos because everything was picture perfect. We went with the taco buffet and absolutely everyone was raving about the food. Here in socal, you can find tacos everywhere, but Adriana's stand out! You can tell the pride this team takes in high quality ingredients and perfected recipes. I could not recommend Adriana and her team enough, I will be turning to them for every single catering need I have. Thank you, Adriana!!

We're usually set up right beside each other, and they're one of the most genuine, hard-working teams out here. They always give back to the school and support the community, especially during football games and fundraisers. Their food? Absolutely delicious -- authentic Mexican flavor, juicy meats, and made fresh right in front of you. You can really taste the love and passion they put into their tacos, burritos, and everything they make. Great people, great service, and great energy every time. If you ever see RNG Taco Cart at an event, do not miss out! Perfect for parties, football games, or any type of celebration. Hands down one of the best authentic Mexican catering teams around. Thank you RNG -- keep doing your thing!

Ok so before I go into why I recommend this business there is a couple things you should first…read moreknow... 1. I'm half Spanish 2. I live in San Diego 3. I have spent more than half of my life traveling to Mexico So with those 3 things "picky" is an understatement when it comes to Mexican Food This taco catering company is absolutely the best! From the meat, the options and the extras they offer to simply their kind demeanor and friendly personalities I honestly use them for every occasion a Taco Truck is needed. Also be honest with them about what your looking for, if you know your going to have "vegetarians" or "vegans" tell them and they will help to ensure all your guests are happy and full. They come an hour before you want to serve, they setup, cook and get everything ready. Just point to where you want them and hand them an extension cord. An hour later everything is ready to go! It's honestly the best way to throw a bbq or party and they even bring plates, napkins and all the fixings! I'm super stoked I found them and tried them out several years ago and I'm trusting you will too!

We tasted the Tri-tip, BBQ 1/4 Chicken, Santa Fe Ribs, and Pulled Pork. We also had the Caesar salad and Steamed Asparagus. The tasting locked in Smokey Mountain as our caterer for our outdoor wedding! The tasting was full of delicious barbecue that wasn't fulfilled by overloading any of the dishes with sauce, all the meat was genuinely juicy and presented tastefully. We also had Jennifer and Smokey mountain do our water service, champagne pour, cake cutting, and bar service. All of her staff arrived on time and ready to go. They had simple yet beautiful place settings and had everything set up at the exact time they said they would. The bartenders were great! Nice, friendly, and followed any requests I had for how we wanted our bar to be ran for the event. We received numerous compliments from our guests about how good our food was. The food was served buffet style by servers in chaffing dishes that kept everything nice and warm. They cooked all the meat on site on a giant trailer sized barbecue right in the backyard! I can't wait to finish the leftovers that they gave us! They also took care of the cleanup from the dinner and were entirely self sufficient. I would love to hire them again.

As a mestiza bride, serving Filipino food at my wedding was non negotiable but finding a full…read moreservice Filipino caterer in San Diego was honestly so frustrating. Every local option I came across would only drop off the food with zero staffing for cocktail hour, buffet service, bussing, or a late night snack. Then an ad for Tisoy Curryative Cuisines popped up on my Instagram feed & I am so glad it did! From the very first message, Matthew the owner was super responsive & made the whole process so easy. He got back to me within 24 hours, his pricing fit our budget perfectly, & he even reached out to our venue on his own to confirm everything was good to go before we even booked. No issues whatsoever. It also meant so much to me to hire a Filipino owned business that actually knows this food rather than some generic catering company just claiming they could pull it off. On the wedding day Tisoy completely exceeded my expectations. They served lumpia during cocktail hour in the cutest little appetizer dishes with sweet chili sauce & honestly it tasted exactly like my mom's recipe. I never got to do a tasting beforehand so I was a little nervous but the lumpia recipe was perfect. Our guests were obsessed. The buffet setup was gorgeous & their staff served at the line which was great for portion control & kept the line moving fast. The star of the night was the whole roasted lechon. It was absolutely beautiful & cooked to perfection. We did a lechon cutting photo instead of a cake cutting & it came out so good. We had guests who flew in from the Philippines & even they said they could tell it was cooked by Filipinos. That honestly says it all. The staff bussed all the tables as dinner wrapped up & then came back out at 9pm with a late night lumpia snack that everyone went crazy for. The next morning I woke up & Tisoy had already posted a reel of our wedding on Instagram. I wasn't expecting that at all and it was such a sweet & impressive touch. If you need a filipino caterer who truly shows up, knows the food, & handles every single detail from start to finish, book Tisoy Curryative Cuisines. You won't regret it! I can't wait to throw another party so I can hire them again!!!

From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and absolutely delicious. She prepared a beautiful Greek-inspired family-style dinner for 11 guests that looked as incredible as it tasted. The menu included lamb chops with pistachio gremolata, chicken shawarma, quinoa tabbouleh, grilled seasonal vegetables, a fresh green spring salad with oregano vinaigrette, creamy tzatziki, hummus, and warm garlic pita. Every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the food! The one thing I didn't picture was the baklava she made for dessert that was to die for. Beyond the amazing meal, she handled everything with such care and professionalism. The presentation was stunning, she kept the kitchen immaculate while cooking, served everything beautifully, and left the kitchen cleaner than she found it. It allowed all of us to actually enjoy the evening instead of worrying about cooking or cleaning. If you're considering hiring a private chef for a special occasion, don't hesitate. She truly created a restaurant-quality experience in our home, and I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making my sister-in-law's celebration so memorable!
