Chris' Ono Grinds Island Grill - North Park 

5.0

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves El Cajon, CA

Our business started back in '09 at local Farmer's Markets, and we have been grateful to expand ever since. Our team and family have built up a cozy brick and mortar in North Park, and a fast-paced location inside Liberty Public Market in Point Loma. San Diego is the best city in the world and we love the rapport we have built within the community. We look forward to continued growth as we spread our Aloha spirit to more venues and customers.

Wow! Andrea truly made us feel seen and taken care of. We wanted to do a tasting for our wedding and she truly went above and beyond & she explained everything with clarity and confidence. She let us try everything and had the perfect balance of attending to us and letting us enjoy the tasting and taking amongst ourselves. Andrea was very accommodating and we never felt pressured at all. The flavor of the food was amazing, but her customer service is what sealed the deal and made us say yes. We know we will be taken care of on our wedding day.

Buckboard Catering and Events 

5.0

El Cajon, CA
  • Starts at $1,000

Established in 1986. Buckboard Catering and Events was established in May of 1986 and is one of the oldest catering companies in San Diego. The business has expanded to include a full range of farm-to-fork locally sourced food options to extensive culinary catering for any occasion or experience. A complete inventory of rental items for any size event is also available.

We could not have been happier with the service we received from Buckboard as the catering provider for our wedding. Right from the initial meeting Ashley, (Buckboard’s sales manager) gave us a personalized introduction and very friendly tasting. It was clear from this initial interaction that she cared more about our experience and less about just becoming one of their customers. The food was/is absolutely delicious. Every single item was cooked perfectly, and it was clear from the initial tasting that their chefs and cooks take genuine pride in cooking high quality meals that do not come off as “mass produced” like a number of other caterers in the area. We have lost count of the number of guests who told us during and after the meal that it was by far the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, and this is reflective of the company as a whole. Ashley and JP (the Chief Operating Officer) were both present during the planning process, and worked with us directly to determine a menu that would be both wonderful for the guests as well as within our budget. When dietary restrictions were presented, Ashley and her team made the accommodations easy and care free, and provided options that were also delicious. She and her staff were so friendly and professional on the day-of that a number of guests went out of their way to comment on the crew. We cannot rave enough about the services we received from Buckboard Catering. To make matters better they also operate a full-time restaurant in El Cajon, which we plan on frequenting regularly when visiting San Diego. For prospective couples planning a wedding, choosing Buckboard as your caterer will not only put your mind at ease knowing the quality of service you will be receiving, but you and your guests will be absolutely thrilled with the meal you get to enjoy.

The Wild Thyme Company 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves El Cajon, CA

The Wild Thyme Company was founded in 2005 as a culmination of our Chief Foodie, Dawn Carvajal's, extensive culinary experience and desire to highlight the bold, intriguing, and undoubtedly delicious flavors of global cuisine. TWTC celebrates the art of flavors and beautiful ingredients coming together, and how food can create a sense of community. Most of our offerings are custom by client request. Founded on Mediterranean and Coastal California fares, our menus offer a farm-to-table feel, capturing the essence of fresh food and local provisions.

The Wild Thyme Company was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding catering. From our first interaction, their communication was clear, helpful and attentive - answering all of our questions thoroughly and putting us at ease throughout the planning process. They also pitched in ideas for additional rentals and reviewed our final rentals list to make sure we were covered. On the day of our wedding, their staff was friendly and professional, ensuring the food service went off without a hitch. The quality of their work was truly outstanding - the presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and our guests raved about how delicious and filling the meal was, from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the entrees. We were blown away by the value we received, as the food was worth every penny. Of course, there were some unplanned moments and guests, all of which were quickly and professionally taken care of by TWTC whether it be an additional plate or serving. The tasting we did prior to the big day was also such a memorable experience, with the chef and event coordinator going above and beyond to make us feel special. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience, and we're so grateful to The Wild Thyme Company for helping make our wedding day so perfect.

Del's Hideout 

5.0

  • Starts at $25
  • Serves El Cajon, CA

Del’s Hideout is your family-friendly neighborhood BBQ spot serving up authentic Texas-style BBQ in the heart of Del Cerro. Executive Chef Tim Eylens executes his signature “low and slow” technique on barbeque classics including prime brisket, pork topped burgers, baby back ribs and his popular smoked meat combos.

We had Del's Hideout cater our wedding and they provided us with an amazing experience. Everything was delicious and the service was top notch. They worked with us on the menu to acommodate some special requests. Despite being a BBQ restaurant that focuses on meat (which was amazing), our vegan guests also raved about their food, and said it was the best vegan food they ever had at a wedding. The team took care of all of our guests and we received nothing but good feedback from everyone.

Taco Love Mobile Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $600
  • Serves El Cajon, CA

Welcome. Taco Love food truck is focused on providing high-quality meals and excellent customer service. We offer mobile catering to your special event, office, family gathering, or any special occasion. We offer handmade corn tortillas, authentic salsas made from scratch, emphasizing flavor, and presentation.

I hired Taco Love to cater my wedding in February and would happily look forward to hiring them again for any future event. Consider this a glowing review, and a recommendation to hire them for your events! Guests are still raving about how great the food was ... in fact, many of them were so taken by how yummy and hearty the appetizers were that they didn't even realize a dinner course was still to come! The tacos as a main were served fresh and delicious with all of the toppings. After being super disappointed with the attitude and racist comments from a *different* caterer that had been highly recommended to us, we found Randy and Taco Love and it was a perfect fit! From the first phone call, we knew we were finally on the right track for our event. He was always kind, very laid-back (something that vibed really well with my personality, but something to note if you want things super formal and in writing right away. This is the only reason for the 4/5 stars for communication.), and very accommodating to the unique needs and vision of our event and venue space. He would always tell us "it is your wedding ... you let me know what you want and we will make it happen!" We used some of his serving dishes, and some of our own. At our tasting, he made sure we had some of each thing on his menu and it all tasted so great! The meat and veggie options were very delicious, and the salsas were incredibly flavorful. I especially appreciate the thought and delicious flavors that went into the veggie options. There were two to choose from, and both were creative and delicious. From there, the process was very smooth. There was no limit on the menu, he allowed us to choose from everything they make on the truck. The price was reasonable, and he even ended up covering our dessert bar as well! Our guests LOVED the churros and ice cream. He was right on time for our wedding, and from what we could tell everything ran so smoothly! We had plenty of food for our guest count of 130. My only regret, is that as the bride and groom we were so chaotic that day we didn't get to eat as much as we wanted to! We are already planning a time to catch his truck when we are back in town so we make up for that! Thank you, Randy! We look forward to eating your food again hopefully soon!

Cerutti created a masterpiece of a charcuterie grazing table for my wedding. Mimi’s customer service was amazing, she really went the extra mile for us. Our guests commented on the beauty and deliciousness of the grazing table selections and we appreciated Mimi’s attention to detail. Each element from the selection of meats and cheeses, to the condiments, fruit and crackers were fresh and delicious, and her presentation was the perfect combination of casual and elegant which was exactly what we were going for.

  • Serves El Cajon, CA

Criscito Pizza is a wood fired pizza company specializing in weddings and corporate events. Our wood fired pizza is baked on site at 800 degrees. We ferment our organic dough through a long and slow process. We source only the best ingredients to produce an unforgettable pizza for you and your guests.

Whether you are hosting a birthday party in Carlsbad, a wedding party in Del Mar, a private corporate luncheon in San Diego or a backyard blow out in Oceanside, we bring our mobile pizza catering services to you.

I’ve been to Italy many times and the pizza there is one of our favorites - I absolutely love it - so much so that we could eat it every day. My husband is half Italian so when we heard about Criscito Pizza and their wood fire oven with 10 different styles of authentic italian pizza, we were sold. We didn’t expect it to be that good, but Criscito’s exceeded our expectations and the food was all that the guests could talk about. Best pizza ever and I highly recommend Criscito’s Pizza for any event or just to enjoy some truly phenomenal pizza.

We specialize in producing fresh and simple food with fast and friendly service! Peru’s unique geography has shaped its varied cuisine, which has more unique dishes than any other in the world. Peruvian chef have a variety of fresh and flavorful ingredients at their disposal.

I highly recommend Al Toque as your wedding vendor for dinner service.Upon meeting with Rhandy, him and his team were extremely communicative, knowledgeable and willing to make our wedding dinning experience the best it could be. We met on multiple occasions even at the venue to discuss vision, setup and menu. They were helpful and provided amazing food (the best Peruvian food in California and possible the entire US in my opinion). Their food has a homemade taste to it but also has an elevated feel to it. They even cooked all the food onsite in their food truck on our wedding day which made the food so fresh. They also handled setup, serving and take down. We cannot thank them enough for the incredible food and experience they created for us.
