    We have no words to describe how incredibly lucky and happy we feel to have worked with Andrea and her team at Chris' Ono Grinds catering. We selected Chris' Ono Grinds as our wedding caterers because we are loyal customers of many years and so we knew the food would be delicious. What we did not know was that the service would be even better! Andrea and her team made the whole process feel so effortless, they provided great communication from start to finish, a delicious tasting experience, services like cake cutting and bussing, great pricing, and Andrea was just an absolute pleasure to work with. Our guests loved the food and we, of course, will continue to be the most loyal customers.

    Mexico City Cuisine 
    Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
    • Serves National City, CA

    Our passion is creating memorable culinary experiences for our clients. Hand crafted cuisine is prepared with carefully selected fresh ingredients and served by our talented staff. Our goal is to exceed expectations and deliver excellence. Founded by award winning Chef Leo Garcia and his family in 2010, Mexico City Cuisine has grown to become a leader in providing full service catering and event planning in Southern California. From casual to fine dinning our menu is influenced by the traditional flavors of authentic Mexico City dishes.

    Great staff the owner is so friendly and they are very responses to calls and e-mails. I went to their location and did a tasting which was some of the best Mexican food I have had. They did all the table and linen rentals for my wedding. They made it easy and beautiful. I got so many compliments on all of the food (especially the shrimp ceviche appetizer). The only complaint is they ran out of ice cream for the churros. I would 100% use them again for another event.

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.

    Brian and Alexa met in 2016 when he was pursuing his dream operating a café in North Park. This venture was called Grinds & Vine Coffee Bar, where the community was the most important factor of his establishment. One day Alexa came in as a guest to study and have some coffee. She was quickly mesmerized by the PB&J sandwich and their delicious cold brew options. They shared some great conversations about food and life then quickly became friends, which then blossomed into something more. Who would have ever thought a PB&J, a cold brew and a conversation would turn into love and marriage.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    First off, the food is THE best. Our guest have been raving about the appetizers and food all week post wedding. Brian is the best chef and so helpful when choosing a menu. He’s on top of it and Alexa is just as awesome! The staff were always checking in on us making sure we were fed and if we needed anything. My aunt has a severe allergy and Brian was able to accommodate a special plate for her and she said it was the first time she’s ever had so many options! We can’t thank Brian and team enough for being the best vendor! They were such a hit at our wedding!

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.

    I cannot say enough amazing things about this team!! The buckboard catering team catered my wedding and they blew us all away!! Ashley was amazing with accommodating our budget, going through the options, hosting the tasting and holding my hand through the process. I had people coming up to me all night telling me how great the food was. They had great communicating with us throughout the process and even with our guests all night. They personally spoke to each guest with allergies and informed them of the best options to accommodate them. They even went out of their way to buy a new salad dressing for a guest with allergies during the event and gave her her own personal bottle to keep at her table. My coordination team was going to take care of cake cutting and our nacho bar but the Buckboard team insisted on taking it off of their hands and took a huge load off of their plates. I got great feedback from everyone about the friendly bartenders and their flexibility with signature drinks and the other options!! I highly recommend you hire them for your next event! Thank you Buckboard for making our day that much more special!!!

    • Serves National City, CA

    Hi, I'm Emma! Growing up in a household of amazing Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine cooks, I fell in love with the flavors and traditions. But dining out often left me disappointed by the lack of authenticity and quality. As a pastry chef, my passion for good food only grew stronger. I started Flame & Flavor to share my vision, using fresh ingredients, no seed oils and premium meats to craft delicious dishes that bring people together. Our food is made with love, and it shows.

    We loved having Flame & Flavor cater our event! The Mediterranean food was delicious and a big hit with our guests. They were easy to work with and did a great job partnering with our florist. We're really happy with the service and the food.

    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.

The display was stunning and we received compliments about how good the sushi was throughout the night and weeks following the wedding.
