“For our company's Thanksgiving Luncheon, we faced the challenge of finding a caterer who could deliver a traditional turkey dinner for 50 people on short notice. We discovered Grandmas House Catering after conducting a Yelp! search in the El Segundo area. After reading some reviews, it became evident that they were experienced in crafting traditional-style turkey dinners. We promptly reached out, and Rhonda, who was exceptionally helpful, guided us through the process. Rhonda facilitated the selection of a robust menu and even took care of procuring drinks, utensils, plates, and tablecloths, sparing us the need for additional shopping. Throughout the process, Rhonda demonstrated remarkable flexibility. The delivery of our spread was prompt, and all the dishes were not only perfectly presented but also warmed and ready to be served. (Due to the onrush of hungry people, I was unable to snap a photo of the food...sorry!) The culinary experience exceeded our expectations; the food was not just delicious but surpassed what we could have hoped for. The generous portions left us with an abundance of leftovers, allowing us to share the delightful meal with colleagues in adjoining offices. Our order featured honey ham (which had RAVE reviews), deep-fried turkey with an excellent cranberry sauce, sweet and comforting yams, seasoned mashed potatoes and gravy, a refreshing green salad, a savory spinach and artichoke dip (one of my favorites), a flavorful and hearty vegetarian lasagna, stuffing, assorted pies, a peach cobbler, and mouthwatering macaroni and cheese. The positive feedback from our colleagues attested to the success of our choice, bringing us a sense of relief and satisfaction. We received high praises for the quality and flavor of the food. Without a doubt, Grandmas House Catering played a pivotal role in making our Thanksgiving Luncheon a resounding success. We look forward to using their exceptional services in the future. Thank you, Grandmas House Catering, for contributing to the success of our event!“

“After visiting Hijo de su Madre several times for their award winning and phenomenal Yucetecan vegan greatness I was quite excited when I saw on their IG they were adding a vegan burger menu. It just launched a few days ago, but is already my favorite burger (got the Phat Hass Burger) in LA and I have had them all. Even more profoundly, they have the best loaded frots I’ve ever had by a landslide! Run don’t walk to try the new menu (will be on the delivery apps soon!) and then keep coming back because everything on the menu is perfection. 5 stars!!!“
“Incredible food and service. Our waiters name was Christian; he was personable, kind, and hospitable. The food was mouthwatering and had such unique flavors. HUGE portions and definitely comfort food as they state. Will definitely be returning to check out the new menu each month.“
“The greatest cookies I’ve ever had and it’s setup at a gas station! Amazing cookies and the selection is way more than expected.I had the walnut gooie, cloud 9, the chunkie and the chocolate oatie. All four were delicious and had its own distinctive style. They lived up to the “gooie” expectation and were really filling. I think two cookies were enough to get me good & the others were extra credit. Load up on napkins and the customer service was great.Just be aware the gas station didn’t have whole milk, just 2% but all the cookies were still phenomenal by themselves. I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items.“
“I love Bite Catering Couture! From the first step to the last, they were great to work with! I never had any doubt about how things would turn out and they did not disappoint. Everything turned out great, Kayla was fun to work with, everything was on time, the food was fantastic and it all looked amazing! Definitely looking forward to working with them and Kayla again.“
“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.“
“Holy Basil is instant comfort that teleports you home. The dishes are flawlessly executed and the flavors are consistently on point. The vibe of this hidden gem reminds you of your family’s kitchen and I feel like a kid again full of excitement from the escaping aromas. I lean heavy into firing the menu family style and always look forward to memorable meals shared. Their take out withstands LA traffic to the far away land of Santa Monica. Service is hands down the friendliest in town.“
“I got a coffee shake and my son got an Oreo sundae. Both were excellent. Service was outstanding as right when we walked in both young ladies got up right away and started on our order immediately. And that was at 10:30 pm a Wednesday night.“
“Neli’s restaurant is our best spot for lunch and breakfast. The food is great and so well priced! The staff are so kind and attentive… sort of how things use to be.It’s tucked away, a bit off the beaten track, WELL WORTH THE TRIP!!You will thank me ?“
“I couldn't be more satisfied in selecting Ask 4 Tacos for catering our company's lunch meeting. Having fresh food prepared by a talented chief on site for our staff of 30+ people made it easy to keep everyone in the building and kept the camaraderie with fantastic food. Junior Canas runs a top notch company and I highly recommend them for any of your catering / food needs.“
“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“

“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.“
“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!“
“Visiting from Vancouver and came across this sweet little restaurant. Food was absolutely amazing - fresh, flavourful, and delicious! My wife and I are quite picky about Indian food but this place hit the mark! We had to go back one more time before we left L.A. They were closing that day but the owner was super kind and let us in. Will definitely come back to this place the next time we visit L.A.“
“So cool to experience these tacos from Wisconsin. Flavor is really rich, cooked to perfection. All tacos were delicious! Made me dream of being in Mexico like when I just to live, TMI but tacos and the staff were on point! Thank me later!“
“Lovely place, great atmosphere, music and good food. Visited last year.The staff was very friendly, we were short on cash and had just too little for the beers. The employee gave us the beer for free, because a good burger should come with a beer. Fantastic!“
“My Cousin who's a regular customer at, Rutts invited me to have breakfast with him. The food was great, also the staff was friendly and very attentive. I had the Portuguese Royale and a side of macaroni salad. It was so good! Whenever I go back to SoCal I'll definitely go back to Rutts.“
“Arturo was AMAZING! We used his services for our baby shower and he did not disappoint. His food was very tasty and our guests raved about him. Even done took his card to consider him for there future parties. Arturo has a forever customer in us and we couldn't be more thankful for his services!“
“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.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious!! I come here on Wednesdays for karaoke there’s a set menu for this particular night I’ve tried the lemon pepper wings??? the teriyaki wings??? and omg the fried okra better than Church’s!! The ambience in tha place is everything I highly recommend this place!!!“
“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 is the kind of resturant where the whole staff care about what they are doing. As a result, the atmosphere is welcoming, the vibes cozy, and the food delicious. It's a perfect spot for a lingering date night. The best part of the night was when Chef Genet herself brought out her famous Dorowat for our party. It's earthy and deeply flavorful, a real treat. The vegetable dishes were my favorites, they all tasted very fresh and bright. A few words of caution, finding parking in the area can be tricky. The space is a little dark and echoy, so guests with vision or hearing problems may struggle.“
Mediterranean • $
“A great spot for healthy and delicious Mediterranean food! They're fast but the food is super fresh! Tania makes my orders with care and it always comes out just the way I want. I highly recommend trying them out for delivery or you can also pick up at a ghost kitchen on Sepulveda behind the Sizzler. Food is always consistently amazing when I order and a wonderful choice when you want a healthy, satisfying meal that won't weigh you down! I Reccomend their bowls and Gyro sandwiches ?“
“(Translated by Google) MA Diaz is very pretty. The breaded tostadas and tacos are super fresh and delicious. One hundred and past.(Original)MA Diaz es muy linda. Las tostadas y los tacos empanizados están súper fresh y ricas. Al cien y pasaditos.“
“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!“
“This is the cutest shop for buying natural wine, cheese, or any other cool girl cookware/homeware items, and I'm happy there's a spot like this on the Westside! I came around lunchtime to try one of their "secret lunch menu" sandwiches and ended up ordering the Hot Girl Salami baguette sandwiches for $12 (since their regular sandwiches were $19). The sandwich was good and was generously stuffed with meat, cheese, and greens, however I wish I ordered the Franch Girl sandwich as the combo of flavors in this sandwich were pretty one-note. I would definitely come back to buy gifts for friends that are into food and wine (and pretty packaging). They had a handful of cookbooks, olive oils, some preserves/sauces, and even beauty products and candles. Bonus points for stocking one of my favorite natty wines, LS Gris by Wavy Wines. It's a very aesthetically pleasing and well curated space, and I'd love to return!“
“Loved it! They are a must have for catering and dining. Can't wait to get some more of their crack fries. As well as taste the amazing treats at the upcoming wedding. Thank you Bites and Bashes for blessing us with your delicious food and custom drink on our special day. Mastered in Pieces LLC“
“This is guaranteed the best pizza I've EVER HAD, delicious I would definitely come back I come from Oregon and never have I ever tasted a pizza this good Chef's kiss ? They are fast, Nice and their food is amazing for the price is definitely worth it Delicious.“
“I cannot say enough good things about Basil Pizza Bar. First and foremost, the pizza and all the food was great! I am something of a pizza snob, and this was really wonderful. Pastas, salads, appetizers.....all wonderful. Now for the staff: Landro, Garrett and Giorgio were the best! They set up in our limited space perfectly and it all looked great. They prepared and served the food with style, and interacted with our guests in a friendly and professional way. My guests loved these guys! My goal at a parry is to provide great food and service, and for everyone to leave happy, full, and with great memories. All checked off! Thank you Basil Pizza for making my party a wonderful experience, and special thanks to Landro, Garrett and Giorgio. You were all great and I cannot thank you enough! See you again! John Ryan“
“Thank you Good Heart Catering for the wonderful lunch! My order was for a video shoot and our group of 20 loved the sandwiches, coffee and salads. Jon was so helpful over the phone with suggestions and made ordering easy. When the lunch was delivered I accidentally dropped one of the pastas. Thankfully their rep was kind enough to get a replacement back just in time for lunch. Very grateful and will order again. Thank you!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Excellent service and tacos. Marcelino catered an event for us at a home and was extremely friendly. He's the kind of guy that you could just stand next to, eat your tacos and talk to for hours. He was very well organized, clean, efficient and friendly. Definitely helps keep the mood at a fun event. Pork and beef tacos were my favorite, but chicken wasn't bad at all, either. Lots of sauces, onions(grilled and raw), beans, rice, and other toppings and sides I didn't try.“
“This was our first visit. Our family lives in Santa Monica, and they recommended this restaurant.It was by far the most authentic delicious cuisine.Really amazing flavors.We all ordered a entrée and sides to share.What a food experience!!!“
“Just tried this for the first time, and will definitely be returning! The food was tasty, the price was fair, and equally important to me, the people working there were kind. Good customer service, and patient in explaining to me the various options (as the menu was in Spanish). Feeling very satisfied with the meal, and am looking forward to trying some of their other offerings soon.“
“I used Beverly Catering for my wedding and Ron was an absolute pleasure to work with. Him and his team went above and beyond in every aspect. Not only was the food amazing, but the service and the set up of all the food stations were very nicely done. Our guests all raved about the food. Highly recommend them for any occasion.“
“First of all the customer service was excellent and the service as well are food was made quick the meat was very tender and the Burrito was very fulfilling I could not eat the whole Burrito I came all the way from San Francisco to get a Burrito from Taco Mell and believe me it was well worth it“
“This review is for Maria's Italian Kitchen on Pico in West LA. The food is always good or excellent. If Robert is our server, the service is always good or impeccable. This review speaks to the bread service. Maria's used to provide their table bread free of charge, and you could order as many baskets as you wanted. Now the bread is $1 per order which doesn't bother me much, as the economy for restaurants is a bit tight now and they have to cover their spoilage costs if they automatically serve bread and it gets wasted. What does bother me is that the bread is quite often not ready when it's ordered. They often tell me that "the bread is now in the oven." This causes the bread to come with the food. The bread should be ready before the meal, not with the meal. What if I'm ordering a sandwich? Why would I want bread with a sandwich? Come on Maria's - think about that. Thank you for your consideration.“
“We had a fantastic experience with City Kitchen LA. Great communication, great menu options, and easy to work with. On the shoot day they were on time, nice set up, and plenty of food. Everyone enjoyed it from meat eaters to vegans. Would definitely use them again.“
“This one of the best restaurants in the city of los angeles. I have to eat healthy. But it's hard for me to consume food unless it is gourmet quality. Sidekitch estaurant and products are awesome; Especially when you don't want a lot of unhealthy ingredients. Can you taste the difference? When a restaurant is dedicated to the highest quality and best tasting food possible. Road, yes, you can definitely taste the difference. I am now using sidekitch's small batch spice blends when I cook it home. GHoward“
“I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Kai is my ALL time FAVORITE caterer and honestly the best in town. From the food (truly orgasmic) , the presentation(visually stunning), the level of attention to detail, the professionalism, his staff who is perfectly trained.... It is complete perfection. Every detail is planned and timed and he even hands out his amazing cookies as a parting gift. I cannot rave enough. Well! I could go on. He did my 50th BD and it was magical. Wether it is an intimate dinner party or a large event, Kai will make the evening memorable and outstanding. THE BEST OF THAE BEST! It is not just great , it is OUTSTANDING!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Taste and quality of food is great, esp ribs and tritip. Prices are on the high side, like $6 for one piece of cornbread and $20 for the one-meat meal where your protein portion seems as light as two ounces. The wings are the best value. Orders are always completed quickly and on time.“
“A few friends and I went here to learn how to make macarons. Side note, Mani's (the chef instructor) macarons were the best I've ever tasted!! Mani was very nice, patient, understanding and accommodating. The whole experience was well organized and we got to take home so many macarons! Our friends and I can't wait to come back and learn more! Thank you, Mani!“
“Absolutely delighted with The A's crepes! From the first bite to the last, the flavors were exquisite and the textures perfectly balanced. The attention to detail in presentation showcases the chef's dedication to culinary excellence. The diverse menu ensures there's something for every palate. I highly recommend The A's crepes for an exceptional dining experience. Five stars all the way!“
“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!!!“
