4 Best Caterers in San Francisco

“I can't really call this place a hidden gem in the mission but for what it's worth, the ratings do justice to how great the food is. The cuisine and flavors and unpredictable and interesting. The ambiance is jovial, inviting, not fancy but bustling. Service is knowledge and has good insight into menu and secret menu. My favorite dishes were the mole, tacos (minus the fish one), and the churro with coconut ice cream. Highly recommend this spot, the mole is incredible! Prices are also reasonable for this type of culinary experience. Presentation of the dishes is innovative and pleasant on the eye. Daily happy hour from 4-6 is also a hit.“

“I only wish any of my uncles or titos could cook like this.Maybe an auntie or a tita could, but I dare not say anything bad about their cooking. Ever. Seriously. For those who know, you know.Back to this spot :Lechon is the best I've had in a while. Crispy morsels of pork belly that have that perfect balance of meat, crunch, and rendered fat. Portions are suppose to be more than bite size but it was so good, there's no way you don't eat it whole.Wings are ok. Sauced nicely but the breading is a little heavy.What really caught my attention was the all purpose sauce. To me, it's like a creamy adobo sauce and is crazy delicious. And all purpose doesn't nearly begin to describe what this sauce can be used for. To date, I have yet to find something it doesn't make taste better.Service, for the time being anyway, is pretty good considering it's a shared space.Lastly, the ambiance is at times a sports bar with all the tvs at times but then looks like (from a ton of IG pics) a karaoke party. Either way, fun.Anyways, I look forward to their new location.“

“The best taco in the Potrero Hill + Mission Bay neighborhood. The quality of the meats and salsas are outstanding - much better than some nearby restaurants, despite being a food truck. They put a lot of effort into picking a really nice spice blend, and the meats are grilled to a nice crispy texture. I recommend getting a sampler of several different tacos, as each meat is cooked in a slightly different way, yet all are very good. If you are more hungry, I recommend the pastor super burrito, which was the the best pastor burrito I've ever had.The prices are rather cheap for San Francisco. The asada super burrito, which contains avocado and comes with chips+ salsa, only costs $12. However, most competitors charge at least $14 for the same thing (including Chipotle which charges $15.35). This may sound weird, but I hope they can become popular enough to raise their prices. They deserve it.My main criticism is that the cochinita and poc-chuc tacos are a bit more expensive than the standard asada/pollo/pastor tacos, but I don't think that they taste significantly better than the rest. Also, I do wish they came to Potrero Hill more frequently, but I understand they need to serve other parts of the city as well.For comparison, the main competitors in the neighborhood are El Toyonase (which has an outstanding tripe burrito, but nothing else noteworthy), Street Taco (which also has an outstanding "meat only" street burrito, despite having lower quality meat), and Senior Sisig/Los Kuyas (which both have a unique fusion flavor, but are a bit too greasy and not as "fresh" tasting).“

“Mashaallah started out as a food truck but now has a stall in the food court of Westfield San Francisco. Despite its humble appearance, this small business offered some of the best Pakistani food I've had in the city from its steam table of freshly-prepared meat and vegetable curries. A star dish here (which came recommended by Soleil Ho) was the Lamb Korma, made of super tender, lean, meaty chunks of lamb in a spiced curry. On my combination plate, I also got the Chana Masala (chickpea curry) and the Palak Paneer (cheese cubes in a velvety puréed spinach sauce), served along with rice. Every item was delicately spiced and flavorful without being too salty, and the garnishes of raw onion and cilantro brought out the freshness of the dishes. On the side, I also had an order of Garlic Naan (another star item), which was perfectly soft and chewy and had a wonderful flavor and aroma from the garlic and herbs. Overall, the food here was absolutely delicious, and the owners were so friendly and hospitable too!“
