Smokin Buster's BBQ 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Costa Mesa, CA

We specialize in central texas style smoked meats. Brisket, Pulled Pork. Dino Ribs and Baby Back Ribs are just a few of the many meats we offer. Orders can be placed for buffet style catering or you can purchase each item by the pound or tray.

Tried a little bit of everything, and it was all delicious. Brisket was so tender, and ribs came right off the bone and packed with flavor (and I’m not even big on ribs). You can tell everything was cooked as if they were cooking for themselves! My 3yr old loved the pulled pork sliders too, and the Mac & cheese was, by far, the best I’ve had!

    When we were planning for our wedding, my husband were looking for things that we loved and wanted to share with our family and friends. I had been following Nancy’s work/business on Instagram and knew I wanted to incorporate my and my husbands favorite snack — a charcuterie board. Nancy was very professional, communicative, and listened. I had a vision of how our grazing table would look and Nancy brought my vision to life. She was very detailed and decorative. My grazing table had a large variety of cheese, fruits (fresh and dry), jams, dips, honey, several different types of breads/breadsticks and mini Belgian waffles. The decorations and layout was very well thought out and made with lots of love and detail. My guests absolutely loved the grazing table and it was the talk of the night. I highly recommend Nancy. You won’t be disappointed!

    "Literally The Best Wedding Food I've Ever Had." -Guest at our wedding If you are even thinking about booking Americano for your wedding, stop thinking and DO IT. Hiring them was single-handedly the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. We knew we wanted our food to be a highlight, not an afterthought, and the Americano team delivered a culinary experience that was beyond our wildest dreams. Our guests are still raving about it weeks later! From our very first inquiry, their catering manager (Beni) and team were an absolute dream to work with. They were responsive, incredibly organized, and genuinely excited about creating a menu that felt personal to us. They took our vision and elevated it with creative ideas, turning the tasting into one of our favorite pre-wedding memories. They made the entire process feel completely seamless and stress-free. Now, let's talk about the food on the wedding day. Show-stopping. We had the burrata with prosciutto and fig jam for a starter, and people were losing their minds over how fresh and flavorful it was. For mains, the slow-braised short rib literally melted in your mouth, and the sea bass was cooked to absolute perfection. It wasn't just "good wedding food"—it was exceptional food, period. The presentation was stunning, the ingredients were top-tier, and everything was served hot and flawlessly. Multiple guests—including our pickiest family members—pulled us aside to say it was the most delicious and memorable meal they had ever had at a wedding. Americano didn't just cater our wedding; they created an unforgettable experience that became a core memory of our celebration. They are worth every single penny and then some for the impact they will have on your day. Book them. You will be so, so happy you did!

    YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION

    I had my first shot at managing a sushi restaurant when I took over an empty section of the family restaurant and introduced sushi to my customers. It was a challenge that I will never regret accepting. It was fun, a lot of fun! I had the opportunity to work with some really talented and creative chefs. I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity. With the help of GD and the support of my family, I took all that experience and fused it with my imagination and created Yooshi Sushi Catering and Event Production.
