    Working with El Alma, part of the El Chile group, to cater our wedding was a dream at every step - from the tasting and menu planning to the day-of catering. We LOVED working with Mayra and Maddie - they easily accommodated all of our guests' dietary restrictions, helped us plan a great menu within our budget, and were so responsive to us and our wedding planner leading up to our wedding weekend. Plus, their food was fantastic (brisket, chicken, sweet potato relleno) and we are still enjoying the leftover Tres Leches. Our guests have continued to compliment El Alma and we highly recommend them if you are looking for a local Austin caterer.

  • Wonderful people—and the most delicious food!

    We had an amazing time working with El Alma and their catering wing, El Chile. Not only were they accommodating and personable at every stage of the process, but they really delivered fantastic end results. Multiple of our guests told us it was the best food they’d ever eaten at a wedding, and we agree!

    The entire crew at el alma was incredible!! From initial contact to tasting to rental pick out to walk through to day of. We couldn’t have asked for a better caterer and team. They were personable, helpful, and patient. And HOLY CRAP THE FOOD! We walked out of our tasting 10000% on board. And our wedding day was perfect with the most amazing food. I still dream of the deliciousness. There were so many options to pick from and were helpful with allergies/dietary restrictions. They brought a great team, bartenders, and handled rentals (place settings, linens, etc). Seriously, el alma, thank you!

    We had the most perfect wedding day in large part to Sarah and the El Alma team. We had to move our wedding from April to September due to the pandemic and Sarah helped me handle with so much patience and grace! We ended up having to change the style of service and some other details and it ended up working out flawlessly. Laguna Gloria is a beautiful venue but has limited time for load in and load out. Sarah and her team were phenomenal under the short time frame and even helped load out chairs and décor at the end of the night- such a huge help after hectic day! The team was very professional and took COVID-19 protocols very seriously which helped me relax and enjoy my big day! I had so many rave reviews and comments about the food too- it was so delicious!! I wanted multiple entrée options and we were able to have Beef Tenderloin, Salmon and the Sweet Potato Relleno (fan favorite!). The bartenders were amazing, too! It was nice we could provide all of the alcohol and custom curate cocktails and offerings. I strongly recommend the El Alma team if you want some upscale cuisine as well as a hard-working, professional and fun staff! :)
