50 Best Caterers near El Cerrito

“my go-to burrito place. Always friendly service. I like my burritos very spicy, and la estrella is one of the few places that will go as heavy on the habanero as I like. Super fast if you order over the phone, too. I mostly eat vegetarian and they make a very good veggie burrito. The fish is good, too.“

“On my way to the Bayfair farmer’s market I saw a guy bbq out on the sidewalk today. After the market, I decided to stop and long behold I found this place! 😄. had the delicious “Thank Que bowl and lumpia”. So fresh, tasty and delicious! I will be back.....thank u Chef Rene!“

“Jason is a fantastic chef and a great guy. He was extremely professional and had great communication leading up to the event. Everyone at the party could not stop talking about how good the garlic shrimp and the paella were. Could not recommend more highly.“

“I am glad that they are located in Montclair. They have a clean store with good selection of items. Great customer service!“

“A great experience from beginning to end, Salt and Honey made my teeny Thanksgiving dinner a success with their amazing main course. Smelled and tasted great! Would use again.“

“The food and service were amazing! We want to especially thank the server that served us today. He went above and beyond to answer our questions and share more about the Burmese food culture and the right pronunciation of the dishes. We tried the tea leaf salad, white peas palata, and the Shwe Taung noodles with tofu, and the flavors were so different and so delicious! This was my first time trying Burmese food and it will not be my last.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian dishes were clearly labeled and absolutely delicious!“

“The chicken & fish sandwich was perfect. Just what I needed. I can’t wait to go back“

“Great food and great service.“

“I had a fantastic experience with Dennis and the team from Liberation Foods. They catered my 120 person wedding and I could not have been happier with the food and the service that Dennis and his team provided. I would 100% recommend them and will personally use them again in the future. Dennis was highly communicative and extremely reliable. He responded to my emails and questions quickly which really stood out from many of the other vendors I was working with on the wedding who were much less responsive. The food was delicious, and I got a lot of comments from my guests (many of whom are foodies) on just how good the food was. The highlights of the menu were the butternut squash ravioli (possibly one of the top 10 dishes I have ever eaten), the prime rib carving station, the garlic mashed potatoes, and all the passed appetizers (we had mini wellingtons, short rib crostinis, and stuffed mushrooms). Dennis' food is full of flavor and really well presented. Even the simple garden salad had a tasty twist, with pickled onions and a vibrant vinaigrette. My only regrets were 1) the horseradish accompanying the prime rib was much too strong, and 2) the stuffed chicken breast came out a bit dry - hard to do that type of a dish at such high volume. But overall we loved everything, the service was great, and I felt it was very reasonably priced compared to other caterers that I had looked at.“

“I used Donna for a big birthday bash dinner party (10 people). Everything was excellent! All went according to plan, and having Kurt over to cook the fish and serve made it so elegant. Everyone loved it and I plan on using Donna for future events!“

“Ramni is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and besides that his food the very delicious from the potato latkes and to all the knishes you’ll never be disappointed. Also his 5 spice ketchup is the best one taste and you’ll want more.“

“Just had my daughter's first birthday and our dishes were a hit. Chef Henry was great at communicating from start to finish and i can't wait to try more of his menu items in the future. We had 50+ guests and there was plenty of food to go around with leftovers at the end which is always an added bonus. The variety of apps, entrees, and desserts available blew me away and eventually I settled on a mix of veggie and meat dishes for the party. My favorite dishes were the brisket sliders and the garlic noodles. I ate everything so it was hard to pick a favorite. My guests were pleased with the selection and it made for a perfect birthday celebration. I want to plan another event soon just so I can try more of Henry's creations! Highly recommend especially for large group events.“

“I hired Jasmine Catering for a baby naming party back in September. I could not be happier with the service! From start to finish, Oded was extremely responsive and accommodating to my special dietary requests, planning the logistics, working with my timing and providing advice. On the day of the party the food exceeded my expectations, my guests did not stop commenting on the food quality and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The lead server is absolutely charming, and the entire staff looked happy and friendly to my guests. At the end of the night they packed the leftovers for us, and we enjoyed them for a few days following the party.

Over all this was an excellent decision and I highly recommend jasmine catering“

“Nicole and Peter provided a delicious brunch for our guests at our garden. Nicole was a delight to work with and her service is amazing. We hope to work with them again in the future.“

“Burke & Black served it up for us at our event. We had unique, rich, and amazing charcuterie boards for our Black & Brown Founders Fundraiser. I was hosting the event and when I finally got a chance to eat, everyone was actively grazing over the options and trying everything. I was feeling impatient about not being able to get to the food, but happy to see everyone enjoying it. Nicole is amazing and she really picked some unique varieties that come together so well. Based off our experience at our fundraiser event, I highly recommend her.“

“We worked with Jaclyn and Lisa for our wedding and were so pleased with the results. We had to relocate our wedding at the last-minute due to the Napa/Sonoma fires and their team stepped up big-time to recreate the menu we already had from a different caterer. The beef shortribs were fantastic, as was the house charcuterie -- the guests couldn't get enough! The service staff was wonderful too -- you'd never know this hadn't been a year+ in the making! Thank you to the wonderful people at WoA who made our food dreams come true!“

“Cafe 15 catered a multi-site order for us and was able to fulfill delivery as well. They were the best priced competitor to also offer group coffee, individually packaged goods and shined when it came to order communication. I am so glad they came through for us and also love that they work in partnership with Lao Family Community Development. 10/10 experience!“

“Thanks so much for the Passover meal - everything was delicious and I appreciate your helpfulness with my order and pick up during these unprecedented times!“

“The La Mediterranee Catering team did a stellar job for our big family event. They were very responsive to pre-event questions and order changes, as our guest count increased. The food was delicious and received compliments from our guests. The servers were professional and did a nice job with set-up and take-down. Thank you, La Med! We have loved your food for decades and you helped make our event very special.“

“All of their meals are delicious and fresh! I've ordered several times and each time was consistently good. Very impressed with Dove Catering.“

“The best looking/quality and most affordable catering company in the Bay Area. They’ve hosted some of our most important events for 3 generations. Thank you for making my daughter’s graduation party amazing, everyone loved the food. 2-3 platters are huge and feed 20-40 people, 30-50 if you get 4-5. #1 hit was that smoked salmon tea sandwiches… soooo good!“

“I'm just sad that they are closing! will miss walking in there getting a sandwich!“

“Wonderful experience with the Revel meal delivery! The food was DELICIOUS and prepared perfectly. The whole family (including 5 kids) enjoyed it! The menu was creative and I could customize our order - double orders of protein and single orders of vegetables. They provided a touchless delivery with all of the items clearly labeled with ingredients (in case someone in your house is dealing with allergies) and clear instructions on how to finish the preparation. And to top it off, not only was the delivery on time, they texted me with a 20-minute heads up text so I would know exactly when my delivery would be on my door stop. For me, I was grateful for that extra effort so our food didn’t sit out in the sun.“

“The pizza was oddly delicious. The ginger molasses cookies were a great dessert snack I enjoy later during the day with coffee. Service was above what I've seen lately. Very helpful, cheerful smile and patient to my many questions. Will be coming back for more.“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“We use BoxiChef Catering for our weekly employee lunches and we love the meals!The delivery staff is on time and friendly. The portion sizes are generous and lots of variety on mains and sides. If you are looking for weekly corporate catering, I recommend BoxiChef highly!! Connie Carvalho, Perforce site-lead Alameda, CA“

“Exactly what we ordered and ready at exactly the time I requested. Sushi was delicious and cut into perfectly smaller pieces for the kids and the edamame were great quality. Pricing was reasonable. Will come back for future catering orders. Thank you so much!“

“I'm from Italy (have lived in Philadelphia for 20 years), and I was in Alameda in 2015 for a friend's wedding. I happened upon this place, and what a joy! Not only is the owner (who ended up at our table, where we had a lovely conversation) Livornese (I'm from Tirrenia, a province of Pisa), but the food was incredible, AND he knew a number of people that I knew! It's been five years, and I really want to go back some day. BOIA! CHE GIOIA!“

“I highly recommend Mashallah Halal if you are looking for quality Lamb Curry✌🏾“

“We hired Thai Rice Spoon Catering to provide 2 meals during a 4-day family/friends gathering, and it has been a wonderful experience. In the time leading to the event, communication with Tumi has been prompt, and she has been very helpful in providing suggestions on the types of dishes and amounts to order, especially in the setting of some of the guests' dietary restrictions. Tumi has also been very understanding in suggesting different options on how to stay within budget.

Regarding the food delivery, it was delivered early and displayed beautifully with the chafing dishes and sterno fuel. We were then given instructions on how to serve them.

The food itself was delicious and a favorite of many of the guests. Overall, we would definitely hire Thai Rice Spoon Catering again in the future if the need arises. Highly recommend!“

“A standard diner experience - their pancakes are very yummy but the waffles tastes like grease! The breakfast toast (Calabrian chili plus corn cheese) is so delicious. The soft scrambles eggs are cooked with butter so that's always a plus!“

“All the food they prepared for us was amazing! They had high quality food that was hot and fresh out of the oven. I don’t even know how large their menu is but when they catered our work party we had everything from sliders to crab cakes to chicken kabobs and even sushi! I recommend this place for any event or business looking to do food catering. It’s A1“

“We hosted a baby shower for 65 people, and Ben was incredibly responsive and attentive throughout the whole process. He made setup and pickup so easy — we felt completely taken care of.

The food was fantastic — friends were still raving about it weeks later! We really appreciated the variety of options for different diets: salmon, fried tofu, and fried chicken. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so well-prepared. And I also loved the biscuits: so flaky and buttery.

The portions were generous without being too much– we had just the right amount of leftovers, which speaks to both how good the food was and how well Ben calibrated the number of guests.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — highly recommend Sunnyside Catering!“

“I had an amazing experience with Crumble & Whisk! They catered a community event for me during the holiday season, and I can't wait to use them again! This Black-owned bakery offers the most delicious, fresh-baked treats with a perfect balance of flavor and texture. From the buttery, flaky pastries to the rich, moist cakes, every bite is a delight. The staff is warm and welcoming, making you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Their commitment to quality and community is truly inspiring. Charles is a master at his craft, and both his catering and baking will elevate anyone's event to the highest standard.“

“That Collard Green Salad made w/ ginger and a spicy seed brittle is 1) vegan, 2) gluten free and SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!“

“I had the pleasure of working with Robert Dorsey Catering for a private dinner, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very start, Chef Robert's attention to detail was immaculate - he met me onsite twice to scope out the space, taking measurements, planning logistics, and ensuring everything was set up perfectly for a seamless event.

The menu was fantastic, thoughtfully curated to accommodate our dietary restrictions while keeping every guest well-fed and happy. The cocktail and mocktail options were equally impressive, adding an elevated touch to the evening.

A special shoutout to Erica, the events manager, who was incredibly detail-oriented and ensured everything was taken care of flawlessly. She made sure the event followed a cohesive theme, tying everything together beautifully.

Beyond the food, the event setup was flawless, and the team was highly communicative and professional throughout the process. I received countless compliments from our guests about both the cuisine and the overall experience.

If you're looking for a catering team that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Robert Dorsey Catering. I would absolutely work with them again in the future!“

“Market Hall provided catering for our conference with ~100 people and they could not have done a better job! They were ahead of schedule, the food was amazing, and they were extremely friendly. They also have extremely affordable prices considering how high quality the food/drinks were. If you need a catering company for the general area they are the best!“

“Ordered from Paula LeDuc at Home on two different occasions for special quarantine date nights with my husband. Both times the experience, from pick-up with a surprise amuse-bouche to dessert, was wonderful. The meals are delicious and incredibly easy to assemble. It made our celebrations during quarantine feel special. Thank you“
