As a mestiza bride, serving Filipino food at my wedding was non negotiable but finding a full service 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!!! read more

Tisoy Curryative Cuisines was fire. From the pancit, lumpia, beefsteak, chicken adobo, barbecue on a stick, mango & strawberry lemonade. Wow. Their displays, fruit platters, and staff were exceptional. Highly recommend having Tisoy cater your next event. We had over 100 guests and Tisoy did not disappoint with guests coming back for seconds and thirds. The mango lemonade and strawberry lemonades were such a nice touch and gone by the end of the night. Definitely a favorite among guests. Thank you so much for a truly enjoyable evening. read more

Matthew, Ornella, and their entire staff are truly amazing. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of incredible. The Filipino fusion food is so delicious, and the catering is honestly next level--beautifully presented and clearly made with so much care and pride. Every bite was memorable, but I especially loved the chicken skewers, kalbi beef, lumpia, and the lobster balls (those were a standout!). And don't even get me started on the halo-halo freeze--refreshing, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. You can really feel the heart behind their food and service. We're beyond grateful and can't recommend them enough. If you're considering them for catering or just want amazing Filipino fusion food, look no further. read more

If I could give 100 stars I would, Tisoy Curryative Cuisines catered our wedding and it was amazing! White glove service, unforgettable experience, and exceptional and excellent food! When preparing for our reception Matthew was so helpful along the way and did above and beyond we could ever imagine. He made our day the best, he even hooked it up with an XL lechon! The presentation and vibes even matched our wedding. We could not have asked for a better caterer, and even more, a better person to have worked with. I recommended him 100 times. You MUST taste their food, we ordered bistec tagalog (lumpia was included) and huli huli chicken. White jasmine rice, house salad, and dinner rolls were included in the catering package. We added a drink station that consisted of mango and strawberry lemonade, and water. Matthew worked with our budget and again, we couldn't have been happier. Lastly, their popups are amazing as well! They pop up in the Temecula area so keep a look out on their Instagram as well, it is where they post where they will be at. Thank you Tisoy for everything! read more

Matthew! How I've missed you! I was so fortunate to order his food back in 2021 off of Foodnome. I drove to his house and he came out wearing a mask and handed me my order. He was so nice and polite! I was dying to get home because the package smelled so good so I knew I was in for a culinary treat! When I got home everything was beautifully packaged and well-presented! I was so impressed! It was his personal signature on his food! My family devoured the entire order, it was so delicious! Fast forward to Sunday, December 10, 2023 at the Mornings on Main outdoor event on Lake Elsinore's Main Street. I saw Matthew's business tent! I had been looking for him since he was no longer on Foodnome. After doing some exhaustive shopping we worked up an appetite and my good friend ordered two of the pancit with Huli Huli chicken and an order of lumpia. Oh my, the portions were generous! The pancit was delicious with the chicken cooked & seasoned to perfection! The lumpia was crunchy and so tasty! I really savored the dipping sauce. Matthew and his wife were so sweet and gracious! He gave me a soda on the house. Once again the presentation indicated he really cares about his food. The flower garnish with the slice of pineapple topped with the Filipino flag was such a nice touch! Please see his schedule of events. I can't wait to return! read more

I'm super stoked to share with you Yelpers, the newest Filipino Fusion in the area, Tisoy Curryative Cuisines! Based out of Murrieta, you can find them at local events every month. They also cater, so be sure to contact them if you're looking for authentic Filipino food with great customer service and pricing! I first found out about them a few months ago through the good ole gram! They do a lot of pop-up events and will even be at Foodieland in Del Mar from September 22-24. Keep up with them on social media to find out where you can get more of their delicious eats. So far, I have tried their Pulled Pork Adobo Nachos as well as their Bistek Nachos. Both are out of this world, bursting with flavor, the meats aren't dried out, and the best part: they are NOT kuripot!! Lol, go ahead and Google that one, haha! They fill up the bowls to the max, and it's enough to share with 2 or 3 people. I've also sampled their Lumpia and Lobster Balls when a friend got them. Yummmm!! They recently debuted their newest creation, the Ultimate Feast. It's made with a hefty piece of Crispy Pata, a German-inspired Beer Gravy, Spiced Vinegar, and Atchara on top of Steamed Jasmine Rice & Lumpia or Pancit. At $27, it's a steal and big enough to feed 3 to 4 people! These guys know what they're doing, and it's easy to see why people love them so much! I love that they also did a collaboration with my favorite Püdn Fam! Together, they created a one-of-a-kind Halo Halo Püdn Special! You can get these at their events or in-store at Famous Püdn. It's a whole party in your mouth, believe that!! Owners Chef Matthew and his wife Ornella are super friendly, and their entire staff always serves you with smiles. You can really taste and feel the love they put into their food. It really is "lutong bahay!" Get in on the goods, show them some love and let's gooooo!! Kain na tayo!! =) read more

I found out about Tisoy through a Facebook search while looking for wedding catering. From the moment I messaged them up to our wedding day, they were nothing but professional. Every request I made -- even last-minute changes -- was handled with ease. Their food is absolutely exceptional! Many of our guests asked about them because everything tasted so good. I highly recommend their lechon belly -- it was crispy and full of flavor. Chef Matthew and his team arrived on time, set everything up themselves, and even packed up and left the leftover food neatly with no hassle. They were truly a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend Tisoy enough! read more

Chef Matthew is amazing! We first met him for a tasting since we were looking for a Filipino caterer for a debut. His service was exceptional. We ordered the hula hula chicken, Korean BBQ tacos, pork lumpia and macadamia crusted salmon for the entrees and a variety of drinks plus halo halo! Did I mention we got lechon too? We had a very large event, under 200 people and our guests could not stop talking about the delicious food catered by Tisoy, esp. lumpia! Not only was the food delish, but the presentation was awesome and enhanced our traditional Filipino themed event. Chef Matthew was accommodating when I had to add additional guests at the last minute and treated us with kindness. He was on point for what we wanted. Highly recommend! read more

I am not familiar with Filipino food... but the long line had me very curious. With tons of food vendors around, this line was so much longer than all the others... I figured that the people in line knew a secret that I didn't.. and after I seen the plates people walking away with- I knew I had to try. The line was fast and the customer service was as great as it gets. We decided to share the bistek nachos. I was eyeballing the lumpia as well but I didn't want to stuff myself. I was impressed. They even had food out front that showed what each meal was. The wait was only 5-10 minutes and man oh man- what a gem this place is. I didn't know what to expect, but oh my goodness! What an amazing burst of flavor. My husband and I shared the bistek nachos. The kids said they didn't want any- but they couldn't keep their hands off of them. Everything was phenomenal and next time I'm going back and getting more items to share. If you ever see this set up- stop and order. You won't be disappointed. read more

Matthew and his team were OUTSTANDING! My husband and I were looking for someone to create a Kamayan Filipino feast (a spread of rice, meats, seafood, and fruit served on a bed of banana leaves for guests to enjoy with their hands) for our wedding.

He and his team were great communicators, listened to our vision, worked through the details, and most importantly delivered a delicious meal that all my guests can't stop raving about. The ingredients were high quality, the food was tasty, their team was professional and the presentation was of course photo worthy! read more

I am a huge fan of Tisoy Curryative Cuisines Filipino fusion. My absolute favorite thing to order is their Lobster Balls with Atchara and Fuikake and the Spicy Coconut Curry with charred bok choy, salted duck egg and shrimp. The consistency of the lobster balls are always perfect, with a nice crisp to the outside and a silky inside packed with rich lobster flavor. The curry was spot on with spice that complimented and brought out each ingredient flavor profile. Both the noodles and shrimp were cooked to perfection and the spicy coconut broth was smooth and brought the dish together nicely. http://instagram.com/missys_food_and_travel_diary read more
