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

Once again Primal Alchemy Catering has wowed me. I had to schedule a rush lunch for guests to the office. The delivered boxed lunches and cheese and meat tray were fresh and thoughtfully put together. The guests complimented the quality of the food. Setting up the order was easy and Cindy always has thoughtful menu suggestions.

I have had the immense pleasure of enjoying Chef Paul's catering for numerous events, parties, holiday celebrations, and personally catered gatherings at my home for the past multiple years! All I can say is that the food is of the highest quality and prepared to perfection every time! This past Thanksgiving holiday (2023), I showed up to their thanksgiving popup and picked up a number of my favorite items: Pumpkin Pecan Bars with Toasted Pecans and Oats, Eggnog Cheesecake with Citrus Shortbread Crust, the Organic Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia. And yes, the turkey.......PERFECTION! Do yourself a favor and do not hesitate to have Primal Alchemy's food if you are able.

Ordered both white and dark Turkey for Thanksgiving. White was flavorless and chalky. Dark meat was meh. $31 each. Won't do that again. You guys taste your food before you sell it at top dollar?

The team at PAC did an outstanding job of catering an event for 75 people at our home in Park Estates on November 8, 2023. There was a wide variety of food, it was delicious, and easy for guests to eat as they mingled. The service from their servers was excellent. We highly recommend Primal Alchemy Catering.

We engaged the team at Primal Alchemy for a function for 70+ guests and I could not be happier. The communication (we are based in New Zealand and organized a function in Los Angeles), quality of service and quality of food were all outstanding. Many compliments were received from our guests. I would definitely use them again for future functions!

Chef Paul and Cindy in the office are just wonderful. We talked a few times before the party and the more I talked the more excited I became. Anyway the food and serving came out exceeded my expectations. My guests also said this was a memorable experience. I wish I could eat Chef Paul's food more often.

We used Primal Alchemy two nights in a row for entertaining while attending the ACT Expo in Anaheim. Chef Paul is amazing! We had guests coming and going for hours and he was continuously made fresh appetizers for each guest. Chef's assistant was a great help in the kitchen cleaning constantly and serving guests. Cindy did a wonderful job of communicating with me to make sure our event was a great success.

I chose to use Primal Alchemy for my daughter's wedding. I cannot express well enough how delicious the food and service was. From meeting with Chef Paul, the planning and guidance given by Cindy in the office and then on the day of the wedding, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Everything from the artisan breads, delicious olive tapenade, salads and entrées, all made with fresh locally sourced foods, were incredible. The quality of the food was noticeably fresh, elevated and delicious. The set up, service and breakdown went so smoothly...we hardly noticed their servers presence and yet every request was met and the service was impeccable. I would HIGHLY recommend Primal Alchemy over the other larger catering companies available in Orange County which in my opinion are very standard/average, even mediocre. If you're a "foodie" and expect delicious food and service, choose these guys. you will be so pleased you did!!I wish I had photo's of the food. It was so delicious, it was all delightfully consumed without us taking pics!
I just had Chef Paul and his Primal Alchemy team cater our company meeting. Wow it was so good. The short ribs were so tender and flavorful, and the potatoes, salad and vegies were so tasty. Their team set it all up and cleaned it all up.It was so easy to plan, and it was priced right in my budget.I recommend Primal Alchemy to anyone who wants to impress their guests with great food.

Wonderfully prepared sustainable food. Amazing marmalades too! I have been to a party that Primal Alchemy catered and the food was beautiful and absolutely divine. I will be using them for my husband's birthday too!

Stopped by the pop-up location (open every Sunday til 2:30pm) at the Belmont Pier for a “bodacious burrito”…. WOW! You can’t have a discussion about best breakfast burrito in Long Beach without including Primal Alchemy. I will definitely be back. The crew was hilarious also… great people, great burritos!

From booking our dinner party with Cindy until the day of the event, it was professionalism all the way. I can't say enough about the level of service, the positive and helpful attitudes as well as the quality of the food (the short ribs were amazing!). It was my first time using their services and will definitely use them again. Thank you for helping make our evening so special.

PRIMAL ALCHEMY will be my "go to" catering as long as I live... We've worked with them twice in 4 months and both mid sized dinners were beautifully prepared, orchestrated and every guest raved about during and for days afterward. I can see that this delightful and efficient team that Chef Paul oversees love what they do because it definitely shows in every single detail of their work! Thank you for making my parties easy!
