50 Best Caterers near Downey

“I don't even know where to start. Our biggest reservation with having a wedding was initially thinking about how much we'd have to spend upfront. Wedgewood made it simple by breaking it up into payments leading up to the wedding day. Thankfully, we got a headstart and planned 18 months ahead. So the payment plan per se, was much more doable once it was laid out!

From our initial conversation with the venue to the final days leading up to the wedding, Rio Hondo made it so easy for us. The planning was essentially laid out step by step and easy to navigate through the online portal! The reminders were within reason, the checklist was helpful, and the admin staff were accomodating.

We decided to get the third tiered package with the venue. The package came with a day-of wedding coordinator, buffet styled dinner, a DJ and MC, a photobooth, top-shelf and open bar, a floral centerpiece for each of our tables, and a few other things including a smooth planning schedule.

Rio Hondo - thank you for making our wedding experience such a breeze! Laura and I both had so much fun. We really didn't feel like we stressed about anything.

Tamica was our day-of coordinator, Nestor was our banquet captain, and Dustin was our DJ and MC. Tamica, thank you for being so present and attentive to our needs. From bringing us water to helping us fix our appearances as the day went on, and everything else in between. It was a fun experience sharing our plans with you. Thank you for helping us bring them to life! Nestor, you and your kitchen staff did an amazing job with the food and appetizers. We had so many compliments on the food. Many of our guests were happily surprised and satisfied. I keep thinking about the mac and cheese croquettes, the chicken with sherry cream, and the salmon. YUM! Dustin, you rock so much. Laura and I were type-A personalities when it came to the song selections, our grand entrance, the surprises, and the Labubu tosses. Thank you for working with us to make it happen!!

The entire staff at Rio Hondo showed up and showed out for us. Thank you all for making our special day (surprise and actually our 2-year wedding anniversary) so much fun, easy going, and truly unforgettable! For anyone hesitating, JUST DO IT! You won't regret it 🥰“

“We recently had the pleasure of having their service at our luncheon. The pasta bar was delicious and the servers were the best They were on time , set up quickly and was fast and friendly on the clean up for us to conduct our meeting. Thanks for your help in our behalf.Rose M. F., Past VP for # 5019.“

“Prices are very reasonable, friendly and professional family business. They catered my wedding and I've used their services 5 times since then... wont go anywhere else. They are very flexible with the menu and have a variety of options.“

“Delicious chicken nachos, flautas, and chilequiles burritos!“

“What a gem...hands down the best elotes l've ever had!! The corn man is super nice and super fast at pumping out Elote via cob or bowl. There was probably 20+ people ahead of me with multiple orders but it only took 25 minutes to get through since he's so efficient. It can be so amazingly rich and heavy for some folks but this is what you're coming for! A guilty pleasure ruminating in cheese, mayo and liquid butter and corn. I prefer the bowl over the cob since it's much easier to eat. I also recommend getting two at once so u don't have to wait in line again and it's so cheap. 100% recommend!“

“I hope this is a right place, but I met them in Long Beach near the pike. I had the most delicious rice and garlic noodles. The staff was wonderful. The food was delicious and fresh. I loved it. I just wanna let you all know. I flew in from Kentucky and saw them outside of my hotel and I had the best meal. Thank you so much.“

“I really wanted to come here and give a 5star review. Tried this place today at opening for the first time and food was everything that I thought it would be. Amazing soul food and have been looking for a good soul food spot. Greens were so good that we had to double back later in the day. Second time around there was a heavier set lady on the register at around 430 that was very impatient. I ordered the food as she was letting it be known to me and other 1st time customers that we were taking too long figuring out the menu or “confusing her” although she should be able to help guide how to order. After ordering while I was paying on the tablet she was yelling “name” over and over louder as I didn’t realize she was speaking to me. Instead of saying excuse me or just a “sir” to get my attention as I teach my 3year old. Just continued to yell louder in my face as if it isn’t loud enough in the restaurant. Then once I gave my name looked me dead in the face rolled her eyes and shook her head. As I heard her do the same to the customers behind me. As a GM at a successful restaurant I will say the food was great but that service is the kind to kill a business fast. Everyone else was great the owner is super hands on and interactive.“

“Stopped at La Casita Mexicana after work on Friday and their carnitas tacos were incredible. The salsa bar had like six different options and the green one had a nice kick to it. Service was friendly and my food came out pretty quick even though they were busy. I'll probably make this my regular spot for tacos.“

“Delicioso en postres y comida #1. Excelente 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Oh my goodness the pizza is very good. They attended an event at Harbor UCLA Med Ctr and saw their truck and had to try it. Definitely will keep them in mind for an event or just to see what part of the area they will be. 🤗💖“

“Yummy! You won’t be disappointed …check them out for your next food event. Pizza 🍕 Rules!“

“The most incredible catering company ever! I used TGIS for my wedding in Malibu. They were the most professional, organized and responsible company. All of my guests raved about the food, the bartenders were so fun and on it, and the timing was seamless. Jeremy goes out of his way to make you feel calm and taken care of. He is honest, trustworthy and responsible. I can't wait to use them again for any catering needs. I recommend them to everyone!“

“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow“

“Thank you for decorating my uncles party it looks amazing truly love the Green Bay colors amazing tacos . Clean equipment and early delivery to ensure everything was met. Awesome service highly recommend“

“I cannot say enough good things about Basil Pizza Bar. First and foremost, the pizza and all the food was great! I am something of a pizza snob, and this was really wonderful. Pastas, salads, appetizers.....all wonderful. Now for the staff: Landro, Garrett and Giorgio were the best! They set up in our limited space perfectly and it all looked great. They prepared and served the food with style, and interacted with our guests in a friendly and professional way. My guests loved these guys! My goal at a parry is to provide great food and service, and for everyone to leave happy, full, and with great memories. All checked off! Thank you Basil Pizza for making my party a wonderful experience, and special thanks to Landro, Garrett and Giorgio. You were all great and I cannot thank you enough! See you again! John Ryan“

“The coffee is exceptional — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced every time! ☕️

Daniel is not only friendly and professional, but also a true entrepreneur with a visionary mindset. You can feel his passion for coffee and service in every cup.

Other tenants absolutely love his coffee too!
I love his story, his brand, and the mission behind Coffee Cart Boys.

If you’re looking to elevate your next event or office experience, don’t hesitate to reach out to Daniel and his team. First-class coffee service all the way! Thank you, Daniel!!!!“

“The chef ( and his wife) are GREAT PEOPLE! They are very professional and the food is EXCELLENT!!! Check them out today!!!!!“

“Olive wood pizza was amazing. Super professional and friendly. They came exactly at 6, prepped, and proceeded to churn out great tasting food for 2 hours. They cleaned up with no trouble and quietly departed right after 9. The pizza was so good! Highly recommend.“

“Probably the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. I tried the chicken kebab—it was delicious. The chicken was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The rice was flavorful. Hummus was amazing. The side salad with the beet dressing added the cherry on top. Will definitely be back!“

“I placed an order for a spray the night before the funeral services and they completed the spray on time and it came out so beautiful. Message on the card was exactly as requested and the hand writing was very nice. The flowers looked even more gorgeous in person. I highly recommend Rosemill for a quality flower arrangement and also friendly Service. Thank you for adding sunshine to a difficult time. Sophia“

“Alan & Cinthya provided exceptional service. Cinthya helped me select the perfect entrees for our Christmas brunch, and everything was delicious. Alan delivered the food on time and even helped us set everything up. Thank you for enabling us to have an stress-free Christmas. We will definitely use them for our future parties.“

“I celebrated my 60th birthday few weeks ago and I can’t recommended it enough. Great location, beautiful inside, outside area is very clean, plenty of parking and very private. The food was great and believe me you will not be disappointed. The staff was very nice and easy to work with in particular the two ladies that worked with me and help me to put together my party in a short period of time, Roberta and Sandra….Roberta in particular has a good sense when it comes to ideas to decorate… you just need to tell her what theme you want for your party and she make sure that everything goes accordingly to your taste. She listened and within your ideas and her inputs I can guarantee you that everything will come out BEAUTIFUL. My theme was “Havana Night “ and everything came out better than I expected…So if you look for a place to have fun and created memories that will last forever, I would highly recommended this place !!“

“Hola a todo los invito a probar los mariscos el Colima muy deliciosos y excelente servicio 10/ 10 👌👌👌 vaya a disfrutar de unos mariscos 🍤 corran 👌👌✌🏻“

“I hired KMR to cater a funeral wake reception at the Rose Hills Cemetery Gardenview Center. Katie promptly responded to my inquiry on Yelp and understood my needs for the event. She worked within my budget. The table presentation and food quality were excellent. Their reliability and follow-through provided peace of mind on the funeral day. I will definitely hire them again for my next catering event.“

“Every moment. The location, staff, cleanliness, organization , but most definitely the food !!! See you there real soon. Livin that #volkxlyfe !!! Go lakers !!“

“Good Pizza . Decent beers.“

“Happy“

“I’ve worked with this company many times before. Their meat is nice sized chunks and the flavor is phenomenal! Salsas are delicious, and staff is extremely friendly and professional. Working in the wedding industry, sometimes I have tacos everyday of the weekend so when I say these are good you best believe I ain’t lying.“

“Amazing stuff, be patient, worth the wait.“

“Today was my 1st time here but most definitely won’t be my last. I ordered the delicious turkey taco. I can’t wait to try more. Next up is a the 7-layer dip, which happens to be one of my favorites! I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of this nice establishment. She was very welcoming and helpful. Great vibes and food. You will not be disappointed!“

“I really love The Grand Long Beach forever! 🥰❤💖“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Been meaning to try Bopomofo but I live in NorCal so haven't had a chance until today! The hojicha latte is less intense than what I'm used to but still kept me up all night. The dark meat popcorn chicken is probably my favorite thing here. It did not disappoint. The beef noodle sandwich was an interesting experience and literally tasted like pho in a sandwich. The walnut shrimp sandwich was underwhelming and too dry for my taste.

Staff were friendly, seating is limited.“

“We had the most amazing Taco man this evening! Super delicious very authentic! They have the best customer service I ever had! If you are having an upcoming event contact Jose Martinez Jose or Linda Vivas you won't regret it! The had so much variety and even brought fruit flavored waters! They came highly recommended! They have some spots available for January ??????“

“Everything is amazing down to the last detail The food is out of this world“

“Love the food!“

“Experienced their service at a recent birthday party. They set up quickly and very organized. We were already being served within 30 min of setup. They food was fantastic! Had beef, chicken, and pork tacos. All incredibly tasty. Friendly and professional as well. Give these guys a try!“

“I think this might be the second time I’ve left a review, but I’m honestly shocked this place doesn’t have five stars. I’ve been coming here for years, and not once have I ever left feeling like it wasn’t worth it.

This is hands down my favorite restaurant anywhere. From the warm, homey feeling the moment you walk in, to the great service from Luigi and the rest of the team, everything is always on point. And of course, the food speaks for itself. Chef Franco is truly a gem and one of a kind.

My go-to order is usually between the lamb chops or the pork chop served with veggies and mashed potatoes. The flavor is unreal. 10 stars!!! for meee“

“The delicious food and great service“

“Me encanta su Servicio, muy amables la comida deliciosa sirven rápido me gusta mucho este Restaurante se los recomiendo al 💯.“

“This place is great! I use them for catering orders a lot. I especially had a great experience working with Yvonne. She’s wonderful!! I was having issues with an order (on my end) and she walked me through everything on the phone, helped me find a creative solution, and was so pleasant! Wanted to give her extra praise!“

“Get there now! Thank me later. Why? Best. Fried. Chicken. EVER! Really. Lemme break it down…got a 16 piece and had half crispy original and half honey soy garlic. We couldn’t eat them fast enough! The crispy crispness of each perfectly cooked chicken morsel was delicious! Seriously…go support a local business and enjoy the best damn friend chicken ever! With great service too!“

“This caterer came through for me when I had to find a caterer for Korean food dosiraks (packaged meal trays) in a short amount of time. Communication and service was great and they easily accommodated to our needs for the menu (I spoke mainly in Korean with them). And the food was delicious!! I would cater from them again!!“
