They delivered early which was even better and set-up the trays. Everyone enjoyed the food, especially the chicken adobo! it was a hit and everyone took home a to-go plate, there was plenty of food and it was delicious and seasoned perfectly. I found Minda's Kitchen on yelp and went off reviews and I am glad I went with her, it's always great to support family owned and women run businesses. Bonus - she also gave me a loaf of homemade banana bread and it was very good, it was a very sweet gesture and shows that she cares about her food and puts love into it.

The pork sisig had just the right kick of spice, perfectly crunchy pork, and amazing seasoning. We also got to try their homemade pandesal and cupcakes, which were so good we couldn't resist taking some home for the long ride. As a bonus, we sampled their homemade lechon sauce, banana ketchup, peanut butter, and mango jelly--now all staples in our pantry! I highly recommend Minda's Kitchen. If you're lucky enough to live in the East Bay where they deliver, don't miss out!

My mom loves the chicken marsala, tortellini pasta, rice pilaf, roast beef and all the yummy sides. Wow!!! Always so consistent, elegantly prepared down to the table covers and keeping the food fresh and hot in the warmers. The food was sooooo good, so impressed and the guests loved it! I wish we had taken pics, if I do come across one, I'll make sure to post it:) Thank you thank you sooooo much, we really appreciate you, so kind and your hospitality and to the whole catering team!!!

All of the other caterers on the list at Sunset View in El Cerrito only provided drop-off where we would have to set up, clean up, provide drinks, desserts, utensils, plates, etc. This was not something I wanted to do or have my family and friends do at a funeral. I wanted full service. The presentation was beautiful, I wish I had taken photos to include in the review. And everything was absolutely delicious. Ernesto and his staff put out take out boxes where people could take extras home. I am happy that the leftovers were not thrown out, Ernesto donates them to a homeless shelter. I can't say enough about how exceptional the food and the service were. I highly recommend Teto's Catering! Thank you, Ernesto and staff!

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!

Awesome food and great service!…read more Some friends catered from Vatos Tacos for a pre-wedding luncheon for some friends in their backyard. The mom and uncle of the owner showed up early to set up and start cooking. They were professional, kind, and very friendly. 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! I highly recommend Vatos Tacos for your catering needs!

We submitted a catering quote request, and to our surprise, Richard called to discuss it. Unfortunately, the call was not the kind of interaction you'd hope for when trying to plan an event.

I'm writing this in the hopes that Minh will reach out to me directly with a contact number so we can move forward and work with Aloha Catering. Otherwise, we'll need to start exploring other catering options. I will update this review once I hear back from Minh.

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.

There was no line to order, and it took about 10-15 minutes for our food to be ready. Service was standard and sufficient. We got the small-size seafood paella which was served warm and quite delicious. It came with spanish rice, green beans, calamari, shrimp, and mussels which were overcooked and very tiny in the shells. We also got several empanadas (mushroom with mozzarella, spinach with mozzarella, and garlic shrimp with mozzarella). They were served at room temperature from the display case in the window, and they weren't labeled clearly so we had to bite into each one to figure out which was which. All three flavors were tasty nonetheless. My favorite dish was the order of prawn croquettes which came with salad on the side. These were served hot and freshly made, a nicely seasoned savory and creamy filling with large chunks of shrimp inside, and the breading fried to a perfect consistency. Yummy!
