“I've had Filipino food here and it's very good, especially their Bangus sisig. All the bad reviews about the pasta seem to be from the same wedding that this was catered to since they were all written in the same month. The Filipino food is still good.“
“Three words: Lahaina Fried Chicken! I highly recommend it. These fried chicken nuggets are extremely crispy, tasty and moist. The entree includes rice, macaroni salad and ramen cabbage salad. The portions are pretty big and the prices are reasonable. The decor feels like you're back home in Lahaina. You might get lucky and catch a live band!“
“Exceptionally tasty Mexican food with a soulful spin. Generous portions and efficient customer service.My only recommendations would be that since Nik Nak is basically a catering service that has its restaurant open to the public during daylight hours, it should make its hours of operation quite clear on social media sites, along with information about closing earlier than usual at times, based upon their catering schedule. Also, a phone that records messages after-hours is vital to their success with the public.By the way, I don't think "shanika" and "Nyla" whose negative reviews are posted below realize that this company is a catering service that opens its doors during the day to the public. I've ordered twice now over recent months by walking in and have found that the food is exceptionally good and well-seasoned. I have catered myself at times over the past 30 years. The court of public opinion can be harsh, when it doesn't realize the true nature of a business. Expressed to the owner that it be made clear to anyone viewing the business on TikTok or Instagram understand that the restaurant is subject to close without notice late afternoon at any given time, if they have evening catering commitments.Another point to consider: Covid has distorted the taste buds of many people. Could be applicable here with these two reviewer's, and their distaste for the food they ordered. My rating: four stars!“
“I knew it was going to be fire from the crumb of smoked fried chicken breading I had from my bf's plate. I had to take a moment to prepare myself. The fried chicken was so expertly seasoned and crispy. I got the 3 meat combo, pretty reasonably priced for the amount of meat I got. The sauce is awesome and the meat is juicy and tender. I had to take my nose ring off cause I was so serious about this BBQ. Cornbread is so soft and fluffy and tastes like something your grandma made. The writing on the bricks from people all over were not lying. Nice people behind the counter and great vibe. Best food I've had in El Segundo.“
“We just heard about this place and had to give it a try… sticky bones, hot hen chicken sandwich and wings- love the chori rice and the potatoes were crazy good! (We ate before getting pictures) My grandson was thrilled to be invited to draw on the wall! We’ll be back!“

“I cannot speak highly enough about Kaycie and her team. We chose them them to cater our wedding and I do not have one single complaint. They were top notch from the beginning. It was a beach venue wedding. I told them my vision and they made it come to life. The decor at my venue was perfect, beachy driftwood and shells. All of the servers they provided were excellent. Bar tender, ice cream server, food service and the actual food. My guest are still raving about the appetizers. Our tables looked so beautiful even the side tables were decorated so cool. The created all the signage and set everything up for me including my "in memoriam" table. Honestly, all we had to do was show up. They did everything and it was gorgeous. Thanks to Critics Choice, my wedding was perfect and luckily I have wedding picture to prove it. Thank you so much Critics Choice! Linda & Steve Goldy.“
“During my visits here I have always been greeted/treated with amazing customer service by the girl working the front always very cheerful and helpful! I love this spot! My second time here and I ordered 1lb of the carnitas mix and a menudo. I love carnitas and this spot won my heart it's not easy finding good carnitas so I am happy to say that this is my go to spot. I get the mix which comes with the carnitas, cueritos, and buche packed with so much flavor. Just one bite of these carnitas and it brings a smile to your face! This visit I tried the menudo and it is amazing so much meat and no maíz which I prefer. Leave the Maíz for the pozole lol. While those are the only things I get from there they also have a great variety of options I have yet to try. 10/10 Carnitas estilo Michoacán“
“El Esquite was an amazing addition to my nephew's birthday party! We had esquites and tostilocos for our guests and everyone loved the food. Their team was also very attentive and brought great energy to the party. Will definitely be working with them again!“
“I have loved Cena Vegan since they were only a pop-up, and I will love them until the day I die. Seriously. It's that good. Their burritos are the best I've ever had, vegan or not. They make their own meats and they are all amazing. I usually opt for the al pastor. Portion sizes are always great. And as for this location, inside of Partake? Absolutely lovely. I'm always shocked by how few people are dining here. Clean, fun music, plenty of seating.“
“Jessica is awesome and her team As well, she was able to accommodate my family of 20guest on New Year's Day (1/1/24) on a last minute request. Would recommend. P.s food was delicious. And great show/entertainment provided with there fire stick throwing.“
“We recently hired Raquel and her team for a private dinner party. From start to finish her whole team understood our vision. Not only did they provide delicious Authentic " Elevated" Puerto Rican Food but we used their party decorators which completely understood the assignment and everything was flawless and beautiful. There was no moment in which i felt stressed. They handled everything. They even contacted the venue and coordinated directly with them for set up., etc.. we walked into our party and were completely blown away. I am still dreaming about it all!“
“Bites & Bashes is a cute little breakfast spot run by a mother-daughter duo, using produce from their family farm. The menu comes off as Asian-Mexican fusion with burritos and bulgogi items. We had the ube lava pancakes, Korean breakfast, crack fries, and the CFO. The ube lava pancakes comes with three moist, fluffy pancake generously drizzled with ube syrup and coconut flakes. This was soo good! The Korean breakfast is a skillet of beef bulgogi, onion, peppers, and two eggs over rice. It was a very satisfy and delicious comfort food. The CFO is a burrito with scrambled eggs, pork, beans, rice, and scallions. I tried a little of it and it was pretty good. The crack fries are a great appetizer. Service was really great and we got to meet the owners: Crystal, the daughter, and the mom, Chef Julie.“
“I was coordinating and planning an event for a client and they were looking for high end tacos for a wedding. I immediately knew Juan and his team were the right people for the job! The taco cart catering company came on time upon arrival, we're very responsive with communication, professional, clean, on time with dinner service, fast with servicing the dinner buffet and the tacos were delicious! As an event planner we sample a lot of banquet style food and many are mediocre but these tacos were elevated! The meat was seasoned perfectly, the rice was so fluffy and they had so many salsas to offer. If you're looking for a fantastic taco cart seek out Juan and his team, you won't regret it.“
“This place was a random pick after seeing their cute patio in the back. I had the lentil soup with the Greek salad and it was delicious. I also added a lamb skewer that was tender and juicy. Service was fast and the house wine was great too. This is a great spot for solo travelers as they also have a comfortable bar.“
“Emuna Catering went above and beyond... and then they went above and beyond that!!!I'm an Azeri Jew from the former Soviet Union. Not only is our cuisine very specific but our culinary style is vastly different from what catering companies are accustomed to in this country. We redefine what the term "family style" means.On top of a loaded cocktail hour, we were looking for a caterer that could provide 12 cold appetizers to each table, a few hot appetizers, and 5-6 different entrees that would satisfy meat-eaters, pescatarians, and vegetarians alike. And of course, on top of it all, it had to be kosher. I spent many stressful weeks talking to different caterers. None of them took the time to truly understand what I was asking them to do. And none of them could deliver.Enter John. John delivered on every level. We had an abundance of food. Shawarma. Chicken kabob. Shish kabob. Kubideh. Tacos. Avocado egg rolls. Moraccan cigars. And that's just cocktail hour. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. We had so much beautiful food waiting for us at our table after the ceremony concluded. I'm tempted to list everything here but it would make this review far too long. Nobody was hungry for one second at any point throughout the night and the food was amazing.There was also a desert room at our wedding that could have doubled as an art installation. The fruit was cut and assorted beautifully across the tables. There were so many different types of pastries. We had a tea station and an espresso station, both of which had a server who showed the most generous hospitality with their spirit. Everyone keeps talking to us about the desert room. My aunt just called me yesterday to rave about the wedding, specifically the food and the deserts. She told me it felt like we were all relaxing with everyone we love in a beautiful home that we created.Meanwhile, the bar at our wedding was outstanding. The bartenders were having fun with our guests. At one point, they brought out a tray of shots to the dance floor with bottles that had VIP sparklers attached. I had no idea they were going to do that. It was a blast. If that's not your thing, I'm sure they would read the room accordingly. But they understood our vibe and added a lot to our celebration.I'm telling you, John didn't deliver, he OVER-delivered.I probably called him 50 times throughout the course of the wedding planning and he always made time for me. My wife and I could not be happier with the decision we made to go with Emuna.THANK YOU JOHN AND EMUNA!!!“
“Came here every morning for breakfast while visiting Long Beach California for a conference. 10/10 experience lots of yummy food options. Last day I brought my roomies and they all loved the food and atmosphere as well. Food is freshly cooked and cheap. My roomie states: super good Vietnamese coffee and chicken adobo (~$14 total) below is a photo of her food. Healthy portion of food for the price as well. Chicken adobo is a bit sweeter than normal but not complaining very tasty!“
“I would recommend this company for any occasion as they are polite, courteous and take the time (even though they are really busy making your pizza experience awesome!) to answer questions and share their expertise. They present very well, clean work stations and fast.“
“I was very fortunate to find City BBQ! Communication is smooth from start to finish. Liset provided me with a quote for a 20-person birthday party for smoked ribs, brisket, mashed potatoes and cheesy potatoes. The pricing is reasonable and most importantly the food was DELICIOUS! Being that this is my first time ordering from them, there was some hesitation but let me say, that I was pleasantly pleased by the flavor of the food. The meat from the ribs was tender and falling off the bones. The briskets so tender and full of flavor. The mac and cheese and cheesy potatoes was all sooo delicious! My family all asked where the food was from and kept raving about it. It was so fulfilling and we will certainly consider using them again and refer them to friends and family!! Thank you Liset and City BBQ for your delicious food and customer service“
“I tried Apple Spice when a vendor brought it for my coworkers and I. They were able to provide lunches based on our dietary restrictions such as dairy free, gluten free, and vegan. The sandwich was tasty and made with soft bread. Would be happy to have lunch from them again.“
“Oh my, I think I have a new addiction. The green Olive. This little grill, so delicious. Parking is a problem, unless you park in front of another business unit. Greek Grilled and charbroiled Kabobs Chicken,Fillet Migon are my favorite. The portions are squeezed into small styrofoam containers. Not good for the environment! But the food is delicious. Prices are the maximum I pay for street eats. The service? They have a hard working good group, so tip them. No pictures here, because I'm hungry. Only caution, They take on line orders, hopefully you don't get behind a slew of them,or your order may take a little longer, but you can bet it will be worth the wait.“
“What a nice surprise to run into this pop up booth from Primal Alchemy today. Got the smoked brisket breakfast burrito which was awesome! Some of the most tender brisket I have tasted in a while. Had a good chuckle as well when I ordered my breakfast burrito with salsa on the side and the owner or chef was taken away by my request, like how dare I not trust him! Long story short the cook put the salsa inside my burrito anyway which was fine. Salsa on the side or inside it's still a great burrito and definitely will be back for their next pop up! Thank you for the laugh and delicious breakfast burrito“

“As the Human Resources (HR) Manager at Insulation Supply Company (INSCO), I've had the opportunity to host holiday parties and I'm happy to say that Lalo's Catering meets our needs!Excellent food all around! Tri-tip, Chicken Parmesan, and the garlic bread!“
“The BEST BRAZILIAN catering around. Not only do they come with delicious food that they cook in front of you, but also come with entertainment upon request Pimenta came to Bbq my sons 2nd birthday party, and it was the best decision ever. My sons half Brazilian and it was only right we have Brazilian food at his party. It was such a success and Maria and her husband are so loving, fun and great company. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Highly recommend hiring them for your next event.“
“Los tacos están deliciosos y el servicio al máximo! Súper amables. Mi familia viene de Culiacán y les encanto todo. Desde que llegaron vamos casi todas las noche a cenar aquí. 10/10 recomendó. Y de ahí nos pasamos a unas crepas deliciosos que están cercas se llaman Sweets On Wheels! El postre que no falte después de unos tacos deliciosos.“

I look forward to using their services again!“

“They did an excellent job working with me on a birthday party. I was very happy with the suggested selections, but the real peace of resistance was the delivery. The young man who delivered was incredibly helpful, setting up the chafing dishes and giving suggestions on how the flow should govery personable. I was very happy with my experience.“
