50 Best Caterers near East Los Angeles

“Great deal if I would have gotten all 25 tacos for $20.00 I got home and started passing out tacos to my wife and children. Got 19 tacos total when I paid for 25. Not happy about it and too far to go back and complain. Tacos were tasty. Was not busy when I went so I don't know how they could make such a mistake. There were only 2 other customers there at the time.“

“I tried their asada tacos and carnitas mixed with buche and it was AMAZING 🤩 I’m not From here but I recently moved to San Diego and I was headed back to my home town up north and I pulled over at a DDs and Seen this place and I’m definitely coming back when I come back home to San Diego“

“This company has been so responsive since the very first time I emailed them to request a quote! I cannot tell you what peace of mind that gave me and planning my husband’s birthday party. They are so amazing! Benito arrived early and had the food ready at five minutes before the start time for dinner. He was amazing! He was friendly and greeted all the guests. At the end of the evening he carefully packed up all of the food that was left and brought it inside. All of my guests were super impressed with the food! (The Pastor and Carnitas were my personal favorites). All of the food was excellent and the ingredients tasted fresh. The meat they had was seriously the best meat that I’ve had from a taco stand in a long time. I went with the traditional five meats, and paid extra and got Carnitas and jumbo lime shrimp. The price was great and the quality was even better! I will definitely be using them again anytime I need a catering. This was for my husband‘s birthday party and we had about 45 guests and I had tons of food left over and everybody ate a lot at the party.“

“The food is always delicious 🤤“

“Amazing hospitality, great service and even better food. Cheers to this family run business working passionately to maintain standards and quality of food. If you haven’t been here at least once, you are missing out. Stop by, say hello to the owner and his daughter Jasmine.“

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

“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 🥰“

“Love this place love the meets they host the drinks are really good and so is the tofu“

“Really welcoming and friendly! Free refills without restrictions to get the same drink as before. Great donuts. Amazing flavor profiles for their drinks and unique combinations. They can also adjust sweetness which is great! Will definitely be coming back here again as it fuels my in-office work days!!!“

“We hired Pucker Up to do a custom hydration station lounge for our animal-themed baby shower, and Kar, the owner, designed, installed, and delivered an incredible station of lemonades, spa waters, and accutramonts styled to be completely on brand and aligned with our decor. Loved working with her. From consultation calls to sharing a Pinterest board, her final display was the major focal point of the party, and the decor she came up with blew everyone away! Thank you!!“

“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“

“Our wedding experience couldn't of been captured more perfectly than with exquisite food from the Spotted Hen team. Everything was cooked perfectly and served with incredible speed to our entire party of 155 guests. Everyone had nothing but praise for the diverse menu provided for the evening.

He took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and made sure every detail was handled the right way. You can tell he takes pride in his work and goes above and beyond for customers. If you’re lucky enough to work with Edgar, you’re in great hands. Highly recommend!“

“I used Good Heart catering for 2 consecutive days for my company party and events. We are all from Japan and it was my first time in the US so I was a little bit anxious haha
The food quality was amazing, portions were really big and on the top of that the person who delivered the food was very nice.
I would 100% recommend Goodheart catering and will definitely request your service again whenever I come back to LA.
Thank you so much ❤️“

“Had the absolute pleasure of working with The Copper Key team on an event with an incredibly tight turnaround. From our very first call, they understood our vision and delivered a detailed deck with clear, achievable visuals in less than a week. The team went above and beyond, staff even transformed into zombies (and fully committed to the act!). Huge shout out to Michael, Julia, and Andrew! Couldn’t have asked for better partners and can’t wait to collaborate again soon!“

“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 👌👌✌🏻“

“We just went to a wedding last night and your food was sooooooo delicious!! That balsamic salad was soo good and the shrimp pesto pasta was a dream! Too your card and I’ll be holding on to it for my Wedding!“

“Food is excellent. Ordered the chicken thigh kabob and they were juicy and perfect amount of seasoning. We dined in and the portions were a lot. Get the grilled tomato! The pink dressing (I think they use beets) was a nice change. It’s not a fancy place, but it’s clean and employees were very polite. Would go back to try other menu items.“

“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.“

“The support from our community, friends, students and our friendly staff.“

“We could not be happier that we chose Border Grill to cater our wedding in Downtown LA on 10/4/2025. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish, and our guests are still raving about how incredible the food was. The plantain empanadas were truly unforgettable — easily one of the most talked-about bites of the night.

Beyond the delicious menu, the service was above and beyond. While my dress was being bustled, the staff went out of their way to make sure my husband and I didn’t miss out on appetizers, personally bringing plates to us so we could actually enjoy our own cocktail hour. It was such a thoughtful touch and meant so much.

Border Grill played a huge part in making our wedding day feel special, cared-for, and delicious. We couldn’t recommend them more!“

“Super good smash burgers, I think the best around. Tried other smash burgers around the area and this are top notch. Trust me and see for your self. The taste is unbelievable and memorable. I keep coming back because they are simply the best.“

“City Kitchen! Where do I begin? The staff was so super professional and nice. The food was superb! I couldn't have asked for anything better, honestly. They really handled our party well and nobody was left hungry or ever seeking out food because they did an incredible job of passing appetizers the entire evening and really paid attention to requests and details. I recommend them 1,000%! THANK YOU, City Kitchen!!!“

“We had an amazing experience with Swrlies owner, Yardley, and his team when they came out to Eliot Arts Magnet to do a fundraiser event for us! After the Eaton fire and being displaced, Eliot Arts Drama and Dance students lost their homes and their creative spaces. Now they are dreaming big for the year ahead, and our event with Swrlies Ice Cream gave them a fun way to do just that! Thank you Swrlies!! @EliotArts“

“When pick out flowers sometimes they are delivered and not always what you picked. My Son's girlfriend posted on Instagram a photo of the flowers and they were picture perfect! Also delivery was quick and couldn't be more happy. I will definitely use you again.“

“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 !!“

“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 ??????“

“The food is next level. The heart behind City Catering is to serve the city.“

“Absolutely delicious, from apps to mains to desserts! It was all sublime and the staff attention was superb. We got to meet Kari, which was also a treat!“

“I found heirloom LA when they catered a function at my hospital. I was so impressed. I had them cater my 60th birthday just this past weekend and they are really wonderful to work with. They’re super friendly, help me a lot in the planning and the execution they connected me to the right people for doing the furniture for the party for servers and then the food was just completely completely amazing Euler menu great quality of food, vegetables, fruits. I did a full vegan menu and they were really, great about doing that with a really complex interesting menu with very taste and textures. I would definitely only use them for any future events that I do. I completely highly recommend them without reservation.

I highly recommend the pumpkin guacamole. The banana bread was gobbled up in three seconds and the juices were fantastic. This is not exclude every other item that I ordered that was fantastic fruit plate veggie plate vegan burritos make your own avocado toast was unbelievable. I could go on and on and on .“

“Used roomforty for our wedding. We were very happy with the quality and taste of the food. We were told that usually it's only downhill from the tasting, but we felt our tasting was representative of their quality. They were also able to preserve the quality even though we got a little behind schedule at our wedding (due to speeches running long, etc.), so they had to hold the food for a while, and it still came out great. Service was also impeccable. They also pivoted seamlessly when our first wedding venue cancelled on us.“

“The delicious food and great service“

“Curbside pickup for me & my daughter“

“Excellent service, great food, special price !!“

“Had the pork gyro, sweet potato and bean salad at Sherman oaks farmers market Sunday. Hands down the best Greek food and farmers market food I’ve had I. Los Angeles. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Cannot wait for next Sunday as I want to get the beef gyro next.“

“I had my wedding banquet in my backyard, and we picked Pimenta because they are really transparent that they don't have an extra charge on the invoice - only what they mentioned on the website. It's also because my partner stays in Brazil some of the time, and we were engaged in Brazil, too, so we wanted to have a Brazilian BBQ at the party. And I could tell the taste is the same as in Brazil! Pimenta is owned by a Brazilian couple, Marcelo and Maria, and my partner informed me that they speak Portuguese to each other. So it's really authentic!

Premium BBQ Combo
Appetizers: Classic Chicken Coxinhas, Cheese bread (Pao de Queijo) On-Site Grilled BBQ: Premium Picanha Steak, Toscana Sausage, Chicken Party Wings, Grilled Shrimp
Buffet Salad: Tropical Salad, Brazilian Vinaigrette
Buffet Hot Sides: White Rice, Black Beans, Tomato Penne, Mixed Veggies
Dessert: Pudim

The food was all incredibly tasty and amusing. All of my friends, family members, my colleagues, and even my boss enjoyed the food so much!!!

We were a little bit worried because they didn't provide a tasting session, but the food is truly amazing, better than what we imagined. And the portion is so big that we couldn't finish the food with 36 guests! Marcelo and Maria are great, too. Easy to work with. We will find them once again if we host big events again! Definitely recommended!“

“Great company and professional people.“
