“Excelente comida y muy buen servicio“

“Our venue (the Junipero Serra Museum) provided us with a preferred list of vendors and when we had our first introductory call with the Abbey Catering, we knew they were the one. Robert took the time to chat with us and help us navigate the world of wedding planning in San Diego. Even prior to booking them, he spent time chatting with us and genuinely gave us ideas and support to go on our way with our vendor search and decision making. The Abbey was responsible for the catering and bar service at our event. A few months prior to our event, we were assigned our event captain Petr Trebin! HE IS FABULOUS! We loved his enthusiasm, attention to detail and style and focus on ensuring that everyone was well taken care of! Our event was seamless and everything went incredibly smooth. Upon entering our reception, the Martini Tree brought the wow factor! The hanging drinks caught the eye of our guests and warmly welcomed them into the reception. Many of our guests raved over the food and went out of their way to stress how delicious everything tasted. We chose a handful of delicious tray passed appetizers including the bacon wrapped figs, cream cheese wontons and soyrizo quesadillas and for dinner, chose the Abbey Signature Salad (mixed greens with walnuts) and Dual Entree plate with short rib, panko crusted chicken, truffle mashed potatoes and vegetables. Through out our event, Petr was a ninja- behind the scenes ensuring that everything was going as planned. He worked hand in hand with our coordinator and ensured we were well fed and that we had food readily at our disposal (SO IMPORTANT on your wedding day). He plated us all of our apps in a beautiful display. We actually felt full from how much we ate, which we hear is so rare from couples on their wedding day and were grateful for how attentive Petr was. In addition, our guests shared that the bartenders were rockstars! The drinks were pouring and it made for an epic dance party on the dance floor. The Abbey came highly recommended by our venue coordinator and we understand why. We had a great experience with them and are glad they were a part of our big day!“

“As a taco snob, I approve of these tacos!!! From the fresh tortillas, to the great salsas and guacamole. Hire this team and cater a great party!“

“Great flavor in the chicken tacos, On the 99 cents tacos on Tuesday“

“Excelente menú, servicio amable, súper sabores. La limonada de pepino, etc etc Lo recomiendo“

“Easily one of the best tacos de birria in San Diego County, and honestly it beats many locations down in Tijuana. It’s a small place, very friendly vibe, and the food is exceptional. The issue would be the language barrier if you don’t speak Spanish but honestly, so long as you articulate your order well-enough it’ll be enough.“

“Excelent food and service !!!“

“Amazing amazing amazing !! These ladies and gentlemen killed it shout out to fabiola jonathan and Lance for crushing my in-laws birthday stress free always I have used the lime truck in the past and they always follow through with quality and efficiency“

“I was at a dinner party last night that was catered by this company (Coronado Catering), and everything was absolutely delicious! The entire presentation was beautiful and felt so upscale, with the beautiful settings, printed menu, and the sommelier describing all the wines we got to try. And Chef Bob was super personable and friendly, too. Really enjoyed myself.“

“delicious food. was my 1st time there. got a carnitas burrito. 5 stars. I recommend“

“The food was amazing from start to finish (many in attendance took the time to come up and tell us personally) and their staff was so kind and courteous. We could not possibly be any happier with the service day-of as well as all of the excellent communication and help leading up to it. Everything was perfect!“

“I recently had the pleasure of hosting a house party and booked Taco Picasso. I can confidently say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. My guests LOVED it! First and foremost, the food was nothing short of amazing. Each taco was a burst of flavor, with perfectly seasoned meats and fresh, vibrant toppings. The menu offers a delightful variety, catering to all taste preferences. Whether you're a fan of classic carne asada, tangy al pastor, or crave something more adventurous like their mouth-watering fish tacos, every bite was pure bliss. The ingredients were evidently fresh, and the craftsmanship in each taco was apparent. But what truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The combination of phenomenal food and outstanding service creates an unforgettable dining experience. I can't recommend it highly enough and will certainly be booking their services for more of their delectable tacos. Thank you Ornela!“

“The pasta and pizza here are simply amazing! If you're looking for quality ingredients and delicious authentic Italian food, Bravo Catering is the best. Highly recommend! Some of my favorites are the penne alla vodka pink sauce with ricotta and meatball and the Slam Diego Pinza.“

“Love the friendly and professional service Our board was beautiful and delicious Highly recommend Graze 😊Craze“

“Absolutely amazing experience! Tacos Don Jorge did such a wonderful job from tasting to wedding. Both the food and service were outstanding. They completed food, set up and clean up just the way I asked and I did not have to worry about anything at all. They helped make my special day even better. Highly highly recommend!“

“Great food was one of our biggest wedding priorities (we've been to many weddings with forgettable meals lol), and A+M exceeded every expectation.

From our tasting to the wedding day, Ashley was incredibly communicative, accommodating, and so easy to work with. She answered every random question we had and happily accommodated our gluten-free dairy-free and vegetarian guests.

Dinner was prompt, the staff was incredibly attentive throughout the evening and there was plenty of food to go around. A special shoutout to Chef Madison. The braised short ribs were the unanimous favorite! Our guests were raving about how delicious they were.

Sharing a great meal with the people we love was so important to us, and A+M helped make that happen. We're incredibly grateful and would recommend them to any couple in a heartbeat.“

“It has been a few years since I have had the pleasure of eating sushi made by Jeff and team. He prepares his food with such care and will make a beautiful delicious meal for you or your event. Just tell him what you like. This is the best sushi I have ever eaten prepared by the best of the best. Excellent pizza roll, haven’t ever been able to find it anywhere! Thanks Jeff -from Chris-Rhonda’s friend from OK (now Texas)“

“One of my favorite places to eat! So delicious! We eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory every time we’re in the area.“

“Great place to grab a quick healthy breakfast or lunch. Food is consistently good, friendly staff, great atmosphere. I like that I can order and pay for my lunch online and it's ready for me to pick up. No waiting in line.“

“Jorge has been a dream to work with from the moment I messaged him. We asked of him to plan a New Years celebration at our home only a few days before and he absolutely delivered with excellence! Jorge and Manny worked our event and they felt like family. The food was perfection, presentation was professional and festive, and their level of service was 5 star!!! Highly recommend. Also, Jorge communicated right away through the process of planning and execution. Also, it did rain a bit and they were calm and collected and flexible with working around weather.“

“We absolutely love Urban India. a group of us get together and have friends night out here about once a month. My hubby and I have birthday dinners and date nights here. The atmosphere is beautiful and quiet. The food is delicious! Chicken Tika Masala, Cheesy Garlic Naan and the Bullet Naan are soooo good! The Coconut curry is one of our favorites as well! The staff is friendly and attentive. We always have a wonderful time here!“

“La comida es rica en sabor y el trato es excelentísimo. 100% recomendado“

“Patricia and her Taquizas Guanatos team are outstanding! They catered my recent event and we were very happy with the communication, service, and food. The (asada, chicken, adobada) tacos, mulitas, beans, and rice were very tasty and included all the fixings as well as aguas frescas. The portions were more than satisfying and we even had leftover food, which she packaged and left for us to enjoy during the remainder of the party. Thank you Taquizas Guanatos!“

“We stopped here on a whim and the shrimp taco was killer. One of the best shrimp tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Insane flavor and perfect heat from the marinade. Gooey cheese, delicious sauce with fresh pico de gallo. The guy running the stand was super nice. This tent is gonna end up on a “Best Tacos of San Diego” list at some point so get in before the lines start forming“

“An enourmous thank you to Jan Bushnall of JB Catering for taking all the pressure off me & providing an amazing buffet for Jeremy's 50th birthday party. The food was fantastic and so tasty. Everybody loved the Chicken Curry and Rice. They were most certainly a hit!!! I highly recommend Jan to anyone looking for a caterer for future weddings/parties or business seminars etc. Her service was exceptional, the food was so fresh and so tasty, prices were spot on and Jan is a lovely lady to deal with. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!!“

“The food is delicious! The desserts are scrumptious! The owner is very friendly and you can taste the love she has in her dishes. There’s a variety of items on the menu and you won’t be disappointed with whatever you decide to eat.“

“We had a group of us sail on The Yacht America for a whale watching tour, we used Urban Kitchen for boxed lunches and they were so delicious!
Leslie was great to work with throughout the planning process and was able to accommodate some of the guests dietary needs with great substitutions!“

“Great service to our organization. Rooms were well kept and we'll lit with options for shading and lighting throughout the day. Food service and seating were great, loved the Nautilus room and the fireside room. Great combination with staying at the lodge. Thanks for your service.“

“Wonderful place, atmosphere, staff & owner!“

“Best tacos I've had in San Diego. Very professional and great customer service. Rico and his team did an explicit job. Very communicative and friendly. Their fresh waters are the best(jamaica and horchata freshly made). They also provide hand made tortillas if requested. They also have a variety of meats for your tacos. Se los recomiendo!“

“I recently got married at the Oceanview Room at Naval Base Point Loma. The views are quite possibly the best in San Diego. But the team there is equally incredible. The food was outstanding. People are still talking about our Beef Satay Skewers. I loved the chicken and the beef tri-tip as well. They accommodated my vegetarian friends, and had great bar service. Sarah helped me set the menu and walked me through all of my catering and set-up decisions. She helped with some last-minute changes I hurled her way, and still made everything perfect. Simone was also critical in pulling off our event. She helped me with all of the ins and outs of base security and making sure that all of my vendors and guests were able to get on base. They have a great team, and I am so grateful for their service, and sharing their stunning views for our wedding.“

“I love this truck it’s so good and fresh“

“Tonight my family had the ceviche meal. It was my first time ordering from Freshly Prepped...it will not be my last! From the first phone call until she hand delivered the food to my door, Sarah was an absolute delight. The food is fresh, very affordable and you can taste the love in it. I have 3 giant teenagers and there was plenty of food for all. I can’t wait to try more healthy, delicious meals!“

“This place has been pulling up to my apartment almost weekly and I decided to give it a shot tonight. Admittedly I wasn’t expecting much, I was wrong. IT.WAS.AMAZING. I have lived in San Diego for my whole life and this was hands down the best quality quesabirra tacos I’ve had from a taco truck. Food was amazing price for the portion size. Definitely will be back to try more! Oh and the churros are really good too!

Update from 5 stars, have had this place twice more since initial review but the quality of the food took a slight dip. Still great food truck overall“

“I ordered the Go Go Fried Chicken Sandwich. It was absolutely delicious! Chicken and bacon is crispy. Sauce is amazing. Definitely a burger I’ll dream about having again while I’m on the plane ride going back home to Minnesota!“

“I held a celebration of life for my mother at our home in Coronado. Drew provided a many dishes and every one of them was exceptional. Tasty, fresh, and original. My guests and I were wowed. The waiter staff was friendly and professional. Its easy to give them 5 stars. If you want the best, look no further.“

“Birria Ramon lord the best I’ve had yet and I’ve tried a lot of places 🥰💋“

“What a wonderful experience we had with these caterers for alcohol and drinks for our wedding!! Elisa was so kind and helpful to us during the planning process. They provide you a wine tasting to select wines for your event prior to making final selections for the beverages menu, and they even made a cute “his and hers” drink sign for the bar at our wedding. We are very pleased and grateful for their kindness, professionalism and wonderful service!“

“I have to say the carnitas tacos were amazing. Don’t tell my mom, but they were better than hers. Delicious!“

“Best mexican food in san diego ? fast & convenient too!Edit: Did a catering order for 25 people and they went above and beyond! Not only was it last minute and they were able to deliver but everything was warm and delicious due to their set up. We thank you!“

“DELICIOUS! It's a small mom and pop Mexican restaurant, with great food. I've only been there twice now and both/different dishes have not disappointed, me or my friends. It's dangerous for me bc I live so close, definitely going back for more.“

“Wonderful food and service😋🤩“

“We are locals and every time we visit Seaport Village we always visit this Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop. We’ve visited so much we’ve had the pleasure of meeting the owner Michelle. She’s very friendly and loves her customers. She’s adamant all her employees make every customer feel special. On this occasion we were served by Julian who was a very nice, cheerful and a polite young man. We adore their homemade waffle cones dipped in a large variety of toppings from chocolate to sprinkles to nuts and many more. We are in awe of the huge selection of flavors. They have so many varieties they even have a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream made and dedicated for doggies. We love our ice cream and we love this family owned business. Go get your 🍦“

“I would highly recommend booking for any and all of your events! SO GOOD. I've been fortunate to be at two events catered by Manny and both occasions were absolutely superb. All the workers agreed on how good the tacos were. Tender meat and fresh ingredients. Delicious.“

“The Pork Adobo was AMAZING! It went well with the Pansit! Salamat!!!“
