“The food is SO DELICIOUS!!!!“

“Belinda's is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in the area. I say restaurant because this place is not your average taco shop... From the decor to the hospitality you will be pleasantly surprised to find this gem in La Presa. The food is fresh and delicious. Belinda herself is the sweetest and makes you feel like family. If you live nearby I highly recommend you stop in and try any of the delicious items on the menu, you won't be disappointed. Then, you can spread the word about this hidden gem!“

“EXCEPTIONAL food and service!! I’m convinced Bekker’s is the best catering company in the business in San Diego. I hired them for my wedding and from the initial phone consultation, through planning meetings, and the event itself, I felt completely taken care of by every single staff member. One of the owners, Olga, went over my menu with me in such detail—we were so impressed! Everyone is thoughtful, detail-oriented, kind, and professional. I felt like a priority because they take the time to listen to what you want and offer great suggestions based on their decades of experience! You can trust Bekker’s do an excellent job- the execution of my wedding reception was flawless. A special shout-out to Allison, my day-of wedding coordinator from Bekker’s! She is amazing AND YOU SHOULD HIRE HER AND BEKKER’S for your wedding coordination with Bekker's—BEST decision ever. Thank you to Olga, Allison and the whole team at Bekker’s for making my wedding incredible for me, my husband, and all our guests!!☺️🙏👌“

“Chef Joann was an absolute pleasure to work with. When we first reached out to Chef Joann, she was a little bit out of our price range, but she was able to work with us and our budget in order to be the caterer for our wedding. We went and met Joann and did a food tasting with her and she was so hospitable and nice we knew we had found the caterer for us, not to mention the food was absolutely amazing. Luckily, Chef Joann had worked our venue before so that took all the worries and stress from trying to plan and connect her with our venue and coordinator. She was able to work with us, even through all the craziness of 2020 and we were able to figure out a way to make things work efficiently and safely without jeopardizing the layout or food. The bartenders she was able to bring went above and beyond and really helped to get the party started for our wedding. They were constantly bringing my wife and I drinks as we would be empty handed and socializing with our guests. It was really cool how well the entire crew took care of not only us but all of our guests. With me being the wayI am, I wanted to help Joann and her crew and she would joke with me to be quiet, have fun and get married. It really felt like a family member or close friend was there, had our back and was taking care of us. It was a really cool dynamic and took all the stress out of the day. The food Joann conjures up is not easily put into words. The appetizers she did for the cocktail hour as well as the cheese boards she created for each table were astounding. They were above and beyond anything we had expected. I had guests coming up to me all night commenting on how amazing the cocktail hour was along with the dinner. We are so happy we picked Joann to take control and be a part of our big day. I would highly recommend Joann to anyone who wants amazing a delectable food from someone who is so easy going and easy to work with, you feel like you have known them for years. Thank you Chef Joann and team!“

“Very good quality meats and very tasty not greasy, very friendly people.“

“I picked up some ribs and a sandwich for dinner last night and the food was awesome as always. Portions were big enough that I had leftovers. Corbin O'Reilly and Vince always make me feel special!“

“Great food from locally sourced farmers!“

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

“Great service! Great price ! They were super professional and the food was delicious. I recommend them for any party or event you are hosting. We will keep them in mind for future events.“

“They offer the most healthy food and their salads are so very beautiful that you definitely want to try! The owners are very friendly and hires family! That’s the part I love most! Dareen Nasser one of the waitresses,is my favorite she’s got the best personality and awesome attitude wen she serves you! Thank You Gourmet Island for an awesome meal! I will definitely be back to try something new!🥰“

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

“10 years ago Buckboard catered my sister’s wedding and they did such a great job we used them for mine! Absolutely incredible service at a very competitive price point. We used them for food, rentals, and bartending and it was so convenient to have them handle so many different aspects of our event. Starting with our initial consultation, Amber met all our needs, responding promptly to our questions and immediately putting us at ease whenever we were worried about an aspect of the event.

Day of staff were so helpful and kind. My wife was getting hungry before the event when we were taking pictures and their head chef put together a plate of snacks and made her a quick sandwich, even taking the care to cut it into easy bite size pieces. It was a small gesture that really meant a lot.

We got tons of compliments on our food. We had lots of vegans/vegetarians attending and they each got to pick what they’d like out of a wide selection of options. Most places we talked to had one option for everyone and our guests were shocked/thrilled to have the option to choose.

If you’re considering Buckboard for your event don’t think twice just book!“

“Love that they use all the authentic ingredients in a Philly Cheesesteak“

“Chef Bob is truly an exceptional caterer! Our family has relied on his services for a wide variety of events, including intimate breakfasts, family birthday celebrations at home, memorial services, and grand gatherings. Every detail is meticulously handled, the food is consistently outstanding, and he and his team maintain a calm, gracious, and professional presence throughout. Their approach allows the host to relax and enjoy being a guest at their own event. I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Bob and his team without hesitation!“

“Alexis Miller and her entire team of kind, joyous, attentive professionals were FANTASTIC!! The menu was exactly what I'd hoped for and received many rave reviews from our guests. Each plate was artistically presented. All the items were delicious and the cupcakes (instead of huge wedding cake) were individually handcrafted with scrumptious toppings and insides were to-die-for!! I would highly recommend them to anyone. I was also very grateful that here prices were very reasonable with exceptional quality 100%! Give them a try.“

“Our server was outstanding, helpful with the new menus and attentive, even though our food did take a while it was delicious when we got it, and she and the manager made sure we felt taken care of the whole time. Great location and nice, friendly and classy ambience.“

“Dang Bros catered our wedding this fall in Fallbrook and it was THE BEST!! From their sexy pep to their dang hermano, we + our guests cannot stop talking about just how good their pizza is! Wish they had a storefront so we could take date nights here!“

“We could not have imagined a better experience than what Bernardo and his team delivered. From the very first moment to the last guest leaving, they exceeded expectations beyond what we even thought possible. Every detail was easy & seamless, every interaction was warm and professional, and the entire day flowed so beautifully because of the care and Bernardo’s leadership. Our guests, our families, and we ourselves were absolutely blown away. The venue itself is stunning and transformed into an absolute dream- with access to the outside! But what truly made it exceptional was the staff’s ability to anticipate needs, problems before we even realized them, and make us feel like we were the only wedding that had ever mattered. They gave us the gift of being able to be fully present on our wedding day, confident that everything was being handled with care. That is something we will never forget. We left with only incredible memories. We are forever grateful.“

“Brigette made the catering part of our wedding plans super easy. She communicated with us clearly and followed up in a timely fashion whenever we had questions. They also at last minute, took on cake cutting! Niko, Sean and Scott were so professional the day of my reception and were just so friendly and just a pleasure all around. The food was amazing. I'm not a baked bean kinda gal, but I have to say these are by far the best ones I've ever tried. The jalapeños really added to them ?. The tri-tip was delicious and the chicken was juicy!
So the cake cutting was a fun one... they were so worried about cutting it wrong but they did great! We highly recommend them!“

“Some of the best sandwiches in San Diego.“

“Excelent food and service !!!“

“Hector and his crew were incredible!! They catered my outdoor wedding on a day full of rain, wind, and flooding. Their ability to be flexible while we re-arranged the order of our wedding to work with gaps in the weather was so appreciated. They did everything they could to make my wife and I's big day as easy as possible. The food was incredible; I had so many family members tell me it was the best catered food they have ever had! Give these guys a chance, you will NOT regret it!!“

“Bella Beverage team was amazing at our wedding in June. We had to hire them two weeks before and as stressful as that was, they were super helpful. They were extremely organized beforehand and helped us create a shopping list, and during the wedding day they were super attentive and made sure all my guests had amazing cocktails. We highly recommend them for any event.“

“I hired Bravo Catering to provide the main courses for my mom’s viewing, and I’m truly grateful for their service.

Rachel, our main point of contact, was wonderful—communicative, patient, and incredibly helpful. She thoughtfully recommended a selection of dishes to comfortably serve 100 guests.

Our order included:

3 trays of meatballs

Tray of penne Alfredo

Tray of penne Bolognese

Tray of penne pesto

Tray of chicken piccata

Tray of Caesar salad

2 trays of summer salad

3 trays of torta de mela

I also supplemented the catering with additional main dishes, five giant New York–style pizzas, and various desserts and side dishes generously provided by friends and family.

The food was a huge hit, and to our surprise, we were able to accommodate close to 225 guests, far more than we originally expected.

While I did need to provide the full tray racks and sternos for heating, Bravo truly went above and beyond. They arrived with a team of three, delivered everything seamlessly, and made sure the heating elements were fully ready before setting the trays in place. That extra care meant a lot to us during such an emotional time.

As an unexpected and deeply touching gesture, Bravo also surprised our family with a beautiful floral arrangement in honor of my mother’s passing.

Thank you so much to the entire Bravo Catering team. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and reliable catering services.“

“Sean and his team are truly amazing! We hired them for our rehearsal dinner which took place at my grandparents house. They were able to pull up right in the driveway and guests meandered between the backyard and driveway to grab slices as they wished. I am personally vegetarian and my favorite was the pesto vegetarian pizza. It was so light and delicious! Everyone had great things to say about the honey jalepeno, and even the gluten free guests had great reviews. It felt like Sean was the host of the party, you can tell he truly loves his job and loves talking to people. They set up and cleaned up so quickly I hardly even knew where they arrived/left, it was like magic whisked them away. They made so much pizza most of us took some home afterwards. Highly reccomend!!!“

“There is a wait if you go inside the restaurant but it’s worth the wait! I ordered the Sampler plate the #1 it had a big portions of each item everything tasted delicious the cornbread was moist and the garlic bread was toasty. The fountain drinks they sell there taste really good 😌 I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes bqq 😋“

“Vendors, caterers, please please please listen to your clients, no matter how unusual their requests may be lol. I had a 90s themed birthday party for my 40th and wanted to be as on-brand as I could, and for me, that meant cafeteria food! lmao. I don't know how many caterers I reached out to and explained this to only for them to try to sell me tacos, tell me it was "too many options," or try to upsell me on hand-passed appetizers and food that was just not what I had envisioned. Originally, Luis had sent me a draft menu consisting of sandwiches and chips. Close but not quite there. After perusing their menus on their website I realized what I had wanted was all basically food from their kids menu! I reached out and let Luis know, almost expecting to be told they would not cater kids food for adults, but nope! Luis was more than accommodating and worked with me to curate a menu exactly as I had wanted it, down to the cafeteria trays and ice cream cups. I cannot thank Luis and his team enough for bringing my vision to life and not looking down their noses at it! Not only that, but everything was so flavorful. I had intended to bring home whatever leftovers there were so I could scarf down all the chicken tendies I could at 3 am lol, but my guests beat me to it! Everyone kept talking about the seasonings used and how tasty everything was. And I'm talking sliders, empanadas (think calzones), chicken tenders, fries, mash, and veggies! Thank you Eleazar Catering for helping make my party so epic! Cannot wait to work with you again in the future!“

“Great place to have partys from“

“Liz Taco catered my unit at the hospital. The entire staff had no words to express how incredible the food was from it’s freshness, taste/seasoning, portions for the price paid, and service! We will continue to request their business as it was truly a morale booster to our staff! Thank you for your outstanding catering service!“

“The best restaurant in San Diego ❤️“

“If you don't know what wood fired pizza is you'd think it's burnt. It's not Dominos pizza it's artisan pizza cooked in high temperature oven with that perfect char. We met them at the Holiday Market at Petco Park and they were a well oiled machine. The entire staff looked super happy and their customer service was top notch! Can't wait to try again! Margherita was delicious!“

“I absolutely loved working with MIHO! As a planner, it's such a relief to partner with a catering team that’s not only incredibly professional but also just on it from start to finish. The food was truly delicious—elevated, flavorful, and beautifully presented—and their attention to detail is second to none.

Rachel was my main point of contact during planning, and she was an absolute gem: responsive, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. On the day-of, the service team was top notch—friendly, polished, and efficient.

MIHO is definitely one of the more premium catering options in San Diego, but in my experience, they are absolutely worth the investment. Their food and service quality are unmatched, and I’d happily recommend them to any couple looking for a standout experience.“

“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.“

“Fast service, friendly, good food. Best enchiladas(everything great), margaritas, over all everything was great!!“

“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!“

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Christine and her team. From start to finish, everything was absolutely seamless, and they played such a huge role in making our wedding day perfect.

The food was incredible and truly one of the highlights of the night. Guests were raving about it all evening, and so many went back for seconds. We are still receiving compliments! One thing that really stood out to us was how attentive and responsive the team was. During our tasting, we felt the red meat option was a little blander than our liking. They genuinely took our feedback to heart, made adjustments, and it was noticeably improved on our wedding day. That level of care meant so much to us.

Beyond the amazing food, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free, which meant everything on such an important day.

We are so grateful to Christine and the Eco Catering team for helping make our wedding so memorable. Highly recommend to any couple looking for exceptional catering and service!!!“

“friendly, fresh, great customer service.“

“Very authentic! Very family friendly“

“After trying the dan dan noodles at a vegan pop-up market today, I can not stop thinking about them! The noodles, the OmniPork, the crisp veggies. Amazing. My boyfriend had the spring rolls and really liked them. I am looking forward to trying the rest of the menu because the whole menu looks fantastic! The staff was super friendly, and the portions were generous. Who can complain about vegan Chinese food? I can not, as it is challenging to find and is one of my favorite cuisines. I will continue to support this local restaurant and recommend giving it a try!“

“I subscribed to the Mama Africa monthly Sunday dinner from April, 2021 until the service was discontinued in April 2023, and enjoyed it immensely. It became a tradition to get together with friends once a month and enjoy the meal together. The food was always very interesting and satisfying, the sambusas were always a favorite (I would love to purchase the spicy peanut sauce in a bottle!!). I was sorry that the Sunday dinner program was discontinued, but I'd definitely use Mama Africa the next time I need an event catered.“

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

“Thank you Sarah � The macarons were delicious � Will be ordering again!“

“Awesome food, awesome service, super-friendly staff! I give them my highest recommendation!“

“We brought in a large group on Feb 16th and not only was the food wonderful, but we had the most amazing service from our server. I can't recall his name, but he handled 20+ menu orders, several were specialty for food allergies, and drinks and dessert and all! The entire meal was great because we had a Pro who knew how to help a large group enjoy! We'll be back again for sure! OSF you need to add one to the choices below: BEST SERVER! 🍝 🥇“

“This place is awesome. However, the floor was a bit dirty and the eating area outside was small and the wood floorboards were a bit cracked. It is also an off-campus place Other than that, great food. You should order from there rather than eat there.“

“01-04-25
-Fresh Baguette x3 $7.50– my favorite place to get French bread. Best bread in town!
-Pate Chaud Meat Pie $2.59– yummy!
-Egg Roll x2 $3.38– tasty meat and I enjoyed rice paper wrapper, crunchy delicious!“

“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!“

“Hands down the tastiest Churros in San Diego!“
