30 Best Caterers near Poway

“Absolutely delicious! We came on a Friday for an early dinner and it wasn’t busy at all. You order inside then sit outside. Since we were visiting, we ordered a little bit of everything. All the food was delicious and cooked well. I got the wings, I’d maybe suggest sauce on the side as they had a little too much for my opinion. Out of everything the ribs were our favorite and the hot link was our least favorite. The Mac n cheese was a hit for my kids. If you’re getting fries, make sure to get the Cajun fries, the seasoning was perfect.There is no kids menu, so make sure there’s something your kids will eat before you come.“

“If you're searching for a dining experience that feels like coming home, look no further than Mi Ranchito. From the moment you step through the door, you're welcomed with open arms and a heartfelt "welcome home" from the owner, Maurice! His warm and friendly spirit sets the tone for an unforgettable meal.We had the pleasure of trying the chicken quesadilla, the fan favorite #3 lobster burrito, and the fish taco, and each bite was a delightful explosion of flavor. The food is not only delicious but generously portioned, ensuring you leave satisfied. With an extensive list of seafood options, there's something to please every palate.But what truly sets this place apart is the genuine care and attention to detail provided by Maurice and his team. It's evident that they are passionate about creating a pleasant and enjoyable experience for every guest!!! My family of 3 loved this place and will definitely be coming back!Vegetarian options: There are various vegetarian burrito options!“

“We had a wedding at the Old Rancho at the beginning of this summer. It is a beautiful adobe estate, with multiple levels of yard/garden used for weddings. PTD did a wonderful job coordinating and catering our wedding at the location. I didn't hire a planner and depended on their month and day-of-coordination. I did a lot of the planning and then handed over the details to them. They are an efficient and capable team! We are thankful for Kendra who went through the original contracting process and tasting, Caitlin who took over the month of coordinating, and Sam who was our day-of-coordinator. Our wedding turned out beautiful and we had a lot of compliments from guests that are due to the PTD team. The food and service was excellent. Sam kept the vendors to the timeline and kept the micro-events moving. She brought my husband and I drinks right after the ceremony, and our food first during dinner so we actually had a chance to eat. For the venue and service PTD provides, the cost of the venue rental and catering is really reasonable. HIGHLY recommended!“

“Wow…this place is blowing up with awesome food and flavors. We tried many options and they were all fantastic. We order chicken and goat sukka, butter chicken, tikka Marsala, veg street noodles (so good we ordered the chicken ones also) butter naan, biryani, rice, white rice, and basmati rice. For appetizers, try the tandoori chicken and chicken 65. Everything including the service was awesome.“

“I had to citrus chicken. It was amazing. This chicken was tender and juicy. It came with rice, beans and a small salad. The beans were seasoned wonderfully, and the taste was delicious. The rice was fluffy and seasoned, and the salad with the light dressing was great. I enjoyed it very much. The service was wonderful. The staff were professional and upbeat. They they were smiling all throughout the service. They had the music going and the place was very clean. They attended you quickly, you go up to order at the bar and as you're going across you can see the delectable desserts. I purchased the Mojito tart dessert which was refreshing. I enjoyed it very much. My experience was simply divine because the atmosphere and the restaurant are inviting. I definitely enjoyed my company, and will be back to this restaurant again to try some of their other delicious foods and desserts.“

“I've only been here twice, but both times I absolutely enjoyed what I got! The first time I got the matcha lemon float with vanilla ice cream & at first I'd never think of lemon and matcha being a good combo... But now it's one of my favorites! Absolutely tasty.The second time my boyfriend and I shared an iced matcha latte with their cheese foam and it. Was. So good! One of the best cheese foams with just the perfect amount of salty! It was so creamy and smooth! For something so simple I'd get it again“

“Omg! The real thing! Took my 3 “kids (all teens and all hungry all the time) and they loved it. Everything was finger licking delicious! And we kept on going back for the corn bread!!!!! Great service (even for crazy ppl like me), great food, perfect for cheat day. Yummmmy!“

“We had the prime rib dinner and it was wonderful with prime rib/soup/mashed potatoes and asparagus. It also included dessert and my husband had strawberry shortcake and I had a cookie that was macadamia nut and white chocolate, with Ice cream on top. Our server was Rudy and she was excellent and nice and helpful to us. The food was delicious and had lots of variety. I never have found a restaurant chain that is so clean and welcoming plus such well created recipes.We will return soon to try more of their large menu selections.Parking: Parking lot is open on three sides of the building and ramps and doors to the restaurant and take away section are open and working.“

“Best Mexican food in Lakeside! Been coming here for years and the consistency is phenomenal. The salsa is so good, the wet carne asada burrito is incredible, and the service here has always been top notch. Good cozy and homey atmosphere as well. A place I never fail to recommend if someone is looking for great Mexican food!“

“The food was absolutely amazing!!! We hired them for Sangeet and Reception at our wedding. The diversity of their options allowed us not to repeat a single item for any event, and it was all absolutely delicious!!! Varun is super easy to work with as well! He’s very passionate about the food and the business and it shows! Highly recommend them!! ?“

“We used Wild Thyme for catering for our wedding and I could not recommend them more! The entire process from getting a quote, customizing it, and working with the team up through the wedding date was easy and seamless. We had a lot of questions along the way and Rachel and Jordan were very helpful and responsive.For the wedding, we did action stations (tacos and pasta) and desserts. The presentation and food were both fantastic! We had multiple guests say it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had.“

“My go to for breakfast sandwiches and lunch. They have even catered our company lunch before and everyone was extremely pleased. Service from the staff is always welcoming and positive. The indoor or outdoor seating is perfect for all weather conditions. 100% recommend to all those looking for a great meal at any time of day.“

“Wanted to try out their tacos because I will be hosting a bridal shower for my daughter in June. Wasn’t able to try the carne asada as they were currently out. Tried the chicken, pork and shrimp. Very good. Sauces also good. The homemade chips were excellent! Definitely in the running.“

“I hired buckboard for my wedding, and it was the best decision we made for the big day! Ashley was so helpful throughout the entire process and went above and beyond. She answered all of my questions at all hours of the day, provided her expertise when needed, they set the tone of professionalism at the wedding and elevating the guest experience, and our guests, all raved about how it was the best wedding food they've ever eaten. Highly recommend them for your special day. Ps. Get the lobster Mac and cheese. You won't regret it.“

Exceeded my expectations, reminds me of Lahaina, small kine spot but da food is wot hungry bruddahs dream ofParking: Lots of different businesses and eateries, maybe real busy on the weekends“

“Yes-Gourmet Isl. Bistro!!! Fay and her Daughter Dareen went far and away beyond our expectations! They catered dinner and breakfast for our group of 12 traveling from the east coast and made sure they covered all of our culinary needs! Authentic, delicious, fresh-delish!! Amazing service and very fairly priced. Most importantly, genuinely lovely people who are working hard to please their customers. Bravo!“

“Came here for Biltong. The Biltong texture is a bit softer than Biltong from Stryve. It also has much less seasoning, so it means you can add your own. I enjoyed using truffle salt on mine. I also sampled the meat pie and meat croissant, which were unique and enjoyable. Overall, I do suggest Perky's.“

“We ordered online for pickup from the Commerce location not quite understanding that it’s not a store front restaurant. While we did wait a while and it’s clear their business is primarily a meal delivery service, the owner/manager was extremely kind and most importantly the food was DELICIOUS! Authentic Indian cuisine with excellent quality and value. We ordered the non-veggie and veggie meals of the day, somosas and roti. If I lived closer, I’d absolutely order several meals a week.“

“I contacted Rotisserie Affair to cater my son's Wedding Rehearsal Dinner. I spoke with Amanda and she went right to work. She emailed me quickly with choices and proposal. It was so quick and easy to plan the event. Very friendly and professional. The day of the event they arrived on time, quickly set up and proceeded to cook and care for our guest. I was able to relax and let Rotisserie Affair take over. It was wonderful! Of course after all that, the food was DELICIOUS! Moist and tender chicken, pulled pork sandwiches, sides and dessert. Everything was wonderful and everyone commented on how tasty the food was. I would hire them again in a second. Definitely give them a call. You won't be disappointed.“

“Nice smoky and spicy flavors; as Marc Murphy says, "seasoned with authority." Very nice staff. The cucumber pickles took me right back to my childhood, to family dinners on the High Plains, prepared by my bachelor farmer great-uncles and an unmarried aunt or two, who had their Southern roots in their memories. Yummmm!“

“The ice cream from sweet treats was a hit at my daughter's birthday party! The flavors were delicious, and the service was excellent. The guests, especially the kids, loved the variety of ice creams. It added a sweet touch to the celebration, and I highly recommend this vendor for any event.“

“10/10 would recommend Feast for any catered event or special gathering. Feast catered our wedding and the food was phenomenal. So many of our guests complimented the food and shared with us how good it was. But beyond the excellent quality of food (our beef tenderloin was practically melt in your mouth which is magic for a party of 100), the service is beyond compare. From the start, the Feast team, and in particular Melissa, went out of their way to make our experience truly unique and special. Though four postponements, a possible elopement, celebrating our original wedding date, celebrating my mom’s birthday in quarantine, and finally our wedding day, Feast went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of and supported. Their attention to detail made for truly awe inspiring decor and food. I can’t wait for our next event to use Feast again!“

“We used Jim for a company catering event for 40 people, and it was a hit! We ordered chili, cornbread, and wings for the meal and it was reasonably priced and DELICIOUS! Everyone enjoyed the food and the quality was good. Jim's customer service was impeccable and he delivered on time. Thank you, Jim!“

“We hired MIHO to cater our wedding this past Saturday and it was a HIT! All of our guests were extremely impressed with the delicious passed appetizers and family style meal! The steak was the best steak I have ever had at a wedding!! The servers and bartenders were all extremely helpful and professional. Our guests were more than thrilled and were still talking about the food (especially the ice cream sandwiches) the next day after our wedding. We are very grateful to have hired them for our wedding and highly recommend MIHO to cater any big event!“

“Chef Trevor did a great job with a small 70th birthday dinner for my dad at my parents' home! He was responsive and communicative, from the first phone call to discuss pricing and services, to responding to multiple emails about menu tweaks and answering last minute questions. When he showed up, he was warm and friendly, and extremely professional from start to finish. The food was excellent and price was very reasonable for what we got. He even loaded the dishwasher and left the kitchen sparkling clean so there was absolutely nothing to do after he left except put our feet up and digest. Would highly recommend Chef Trevor anytime!“

“California's Best Catering created an AMAZING Holiday Party event in Vista for my networking group (about 80+ People)... the customized menu was amazing & delicious, the setup & tear down was seamless, the service was professional & full of smiles... I highly recommend their catering services for your next family or business party - you will NOT regret it! :)“

“We last minute wanted to do bánh mì catering for late night snacks at our wedding. We reached out to them about 2 weeks before the wedding and they were so awesome and accommodating to work with. We ended up getting grilled pork and chicken ones and they were an absolute hit. People were hoarding them too! I highly recommend working with them for your catering needs“

“Metro checks all of the boxes.Cheryl does a fantastic job with menu ideation/creation. Her consultative approach takes a lot of the stress out of planning an event. Her years of expertise shine through her diverse assortment of culinary offerings. Service is first class. Don’t miss out on this phenomenal caterer.“

“I have only the best advice for future event planners: you’ve found the guys. Not only was the food fantastic, no only was the service impecable but everybody was so kind and patient. There is one thing absolutely priceless about catering and that is thoughtfulness. Moises and his guys have it in spades. The best catering I’ve ever worked with.“

“Liz cocina was a hit for my 50th Birthday celebration! Top cuts of chicken, carnitas, carne asada, pork and fish! All was well seasoned! Im hispanic and i feel its hard to find good Spanish rice. Liz hit the bullseye it was delicious! Beans, homemade tortillas and salsas where top notch! To top it off the agua frescas Jamaica and horchata enough said total hit on my day! Don't waste your time with anyone else! I booked Liz Cocina 6 months in advance and her communication was spot on! Don't forget to call Liz and order her tamales during the holidays they are to die for i will be calling Liz again for future parties!“
