Taste Catering

Fantastic!!!
We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Taste! For our Christmas party dinner. The Turkey was moist and delicious — the ham was fabulous — stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, fresh bread, salad, and so many desserts!
Taste! Made our Christmas easy and carefree because I didn’t have to lift a finger to feed everyone! I just got to enjoy the fabulous food and the wonderful company.
This will be a yearly thing for us from now on!

Taste Catering gets a consistent 5 star in my book. Two years in a row our company has hosted a large industry event and we have appx. 300 designers attend. Karen and I work together to select the food for my budget and crowd, she has also been excellent in helping me plan the service staff needed for the relatively short eating time we have. The food is always delicious and our guests give us constant compliments! The servers set up gorgeous tables utilizing all our display/​working areas… always creative and they will add in some of the accessories I ask to use to embelish… they are wonderful!!! Jose, Carlos and staff are low key, on top of keeping food refreshed and emply plates and glasses cleared.
I’ve also used Taste Catering for important, much smaller, Corp. luncheons and get the same rave reviews for the delicious food and they have always been right on time!!!
Taste Catering represents the best of what an excellent business is all about!!!

I have been working with Taste Catering to plan some events. They are super prompt with their responses to my inquires and both Andrew and Britney have been a delight to work with. Great customer service!!!

Thank you so much to Mark, Jose, Karen, and all the Taste Crew that helped us with our wedding. We originally came to Taste for tables and chair rentals for our wedding but after talking with the crew, seeing the prices (very reasonable), and having a tasting, we decided to go the full route and have them catered our wedding as well.
Working with Taste to plan our wedding was such a breeze. They had a lot of ideas which made decision making much easier. Our wedding turned out much better than we had imagined. The ceremony and the reception looked amazing. Everyone complimented us on how nice the ceremony was setup, the transformation of a Crossfit gym to a beautiful wedding reception venue, how friendly all of their staff were, and the food… wow, they really knocked it out of the park here. We had friends and family who are big foodies and very particular in their food come to us and said how amazing it was.
They also took care of many little things that we forgot during the wedding that made it go much smoother. My wife and I didn’t have to worry about a thing and was able to enjoy our wedding day to the fullest. Many people asked us about our caterer and we were happy to let them know who you were. We will definitely recommend Taste Catering to our friends and family.

Taste Catering did a great job with catering our housewarming party.
The food was amazing, especially the Ahi jewels and Brie with cranberries. The service was excellent and I will use them again for small or large events. Kudos to the Taste Catering team. Thanks for helping to make our celebration special.

My work orders from Taste all the time when they provide a free lunch or does events for my work to promote new clients coming to us for business and stuff. Their food is reeeeaaaally yummy and always consistent. I have never ever been disappointed. Their salmon tastes better than most restaurants even. I love everything Ive had from them. I’ll probably have them cater my wedding one day, good prices and good food, its also always garnished and looks so fancy.
**High five to the all the Taste cooks, keep up the good work guys!

Used them for a funeral reception and we got lots of compliments on the food. Good setup and service. One person who had gone to a lot of these types of receptions wanted to know who our caterer was so he could use them for his own mom’s funeral.

We can’t thank Karen, Jose’, and Taste Catering enough.
Everything about our 50^th Anniversary celebration was incredible.
The food was awesome, the servers were professional and unobtrusive.
The steak was «on the rare side,» as we requested and the salmon was cooked perfectly, both difficult for a buffet.
We are so happy that we made the decision to have the salads plated before the buffet was served.
It added so much to the Valentines’ Day theme and to smoothly begin dinner.
The appearance of the appetizer and buffet tables was beautiful.
The glassware and silverware were very nice. The red napkins coordinated so well with the red roses.
Everything exceeded our expectations.
Thank you, Karen, especially, for your attention to every detail before and during our celebration.

We hired Taste Catering for a production shoot this week and they were AWESOME! Everyone was raving about the food. The Millionaire’s Steak was delicious! And the delivery/​set-​up staff was so friendly and helpful. What a joy to work with.

I use Taste to cater many of my corporate luncheons and the food is amazing and there is always more than enough food.
I would highly recommend Taste Catering

We used Taste to provide food for our Christmas dinner. The food was absolutely outstanding. Their attention to detail is incredible, the food is delicious and aesthetically pleasing, the portions are generous. I cannot say enough in praise. Some people mention that they are pricey. I figure that I would have spent more in all of my trips to the grocery store in getting the preparations for the holiday meal.
I plan to use Taste for all of my future events … I know my guests will always be thrilled! :)

There isn’t enough room on this site to rave about how good of an experience we had. Taste catered a full service company Christmas party at my home and wow is not enough to say how great it went. FOOD was fantastic only to be topped by the most attentive staff I have ever experienced and I’m lucky enough to dine 5 star often. This is my service from here on out and I’m a picky dude. I recommend highly Taste

Had Taste today for our Christmas lunch. Only giving it a 2 star because although the food was good (except one dish was too salty) the service was terrible. The delivery was 45 minutes late. I called when the delivery was 10 minutes late and was told the driver was 5 minutes away. 20 minutes later I called back, spoke to Karen who apologized and while I was on the phone had someone else call to see where the delivery person was. I had to give direction via Karen via whoever she was talking to who was talking to the driver. I told Karen Taste just delivered food to our building last week. She said the driver «is new». The driver finally arrived and was less than personable! We asked her if she is new and she said «no». She said they «just haven’t delivered here in a year it two». Lie! The building was unoccupied last year and the year before! The driver also said she tried calling us and no one answered. Lie! When I was on the phone with Karen, she told me she would call me back after lunch. Never received a call from Karen! Needless to say our Christmas lunch was rushed and had a damper put on it!

many of the pharmaceutical drug reps that come to our office use Taste to cater their lunches. we’ve been lucky enough to have tried a great selection of items from Taste. when it came time to plan our office party, we decided to take a page out of the drug reps’ book and use them too.
we put in a large order of food for about 30+ people. their website is extremely easy to navigate and understand, so choosing the items was super easy. we had the penne w/​pesto cream, chicken picatta w/​tomato, capers, and white wine, green beans, mashed potatoes, millionaire skirt steak, baby spinach salad, french baguette «basket» & butter, some cake platter, and the strawberry shortcake. everything was amazing and everyone was happy with the food!
the penne w/​pasta was cooked perfectly with a cheesy, pesto flavor. the skirt steak and chicken were both cooked surprisingly well, both were moist! the mashed potatoes had red potato skins and spinach in it. these were all new things for me.
but the two must get items that we have gotten on several occasions are the Bread basket w/​herbed butter and strawberry shortcake! the herbed butter they give you is amazing, herby, and slightly sweet. the strawberry shortcake is basically slices of gorgeous, smooth pound cake with this light, fluffy whipped cream with just a tad of sweetness, and fresh strawberries.
other items we’ve had here that have been hits include all types of kebabs (chicken, beef), chicken parmesan w/​marinara, chicken marsala, a teriyaki salmon, margarite pasta, basmati rice, coconut brown rice, etc… all the items seem fairly simple, but they are executed well.
unfortunately i can’t speak for any of the veggies/​salad dishes because i avoid them, but i did hear positive things about the baby spinach salad which had strawberries and toasted almonds. the prices are really good and the portions are large. we always always have leftovers. EVERY TIME. another plus, they are extremely punctual. i’ve never witnessed them arriving late for any of our lunches. they were about 20 minutes early today. highly recommend them to cater your next event!

Love this place for a quick delicious lunch buffet. Don’t miss Thursday Turkey/​ham special in Oct! Mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce. Love it all.

Our company has been ordering from Taste for the past few years. it started with one department, and slowly started to get ordered by others.
The food is always varied and delicious. The carrot cake is out of this world and I am a big carrot cake connoisseur. It’s very home-​made tasting. In fact, even when I am not part of the meetings that use Taste, I have a standing order to notify me if they are ordering the carrot cake so I can bum/​mooch a piece after the meeting.
The dept. closest to me ordered them twice last week and is ordering them 3 times this week. Same group of meeting participants; so imagine no one is complaining that it is the same vendor!

I’ve been ordering catering from Taste for the last 2 years for company meetings and I can’t say how much I LOVE Taste! I’ve ordered breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They are on time, every time. They are cordial and mindful of noise during meetings. They are on point and email an estimate for each order and are just the best in Orange County.
I usually order off their hot buffet menu and everything is delicious! Their portion sizes are also very large, so I usually order for a little less than my headcount. Their desserts and baked goods are off the charts, their appetizers are simply amazing and I am OBSESSED with their lemon shallot vinaigrette. Wonderful catering company. I hope to do some personal events with them soon!

The best part of my job is that we get free breakfast or lunch for our weekly meetings. This time, we ordered from here. Since it was an early morning meeting, we got the Fresh Fruit Display with Honey Yogurt and Croissant Sandwiches with Egg and Cheddar Cheese, Ham, Turkey, and Spinach & Mushroom. We got all kinds of sandwiches for all those picky eaters. The price was very reasonable. Even though I didnt pay for it, I think it’s still pretty cheap (I cater myself as a side thing).
The fruits were very nicely displayed. The honeydews, cantaloupes, pineapples, blackberries and strawberries were sweet and fresh. None of them were bruised :) The croissant sandwiches were all cut in half and let me tell you. It was so delicious. The croissants were so buttery. They were soft and fluffy but also had that crunch on the outside skin. The spinach and mushroom sandwich was my favorite because it just sounds healthier. hence spinach.
The delivery was on time which is important to me. (dont mess with me when it comes to food) The staffs were very easy to work with and there were no complications with our order. The staffs were very friendly and professional. That is a big plus!

I was doing some work in my wherehouse in the back of my office this morning with Sam came by with a flier that said $ 7 lunch which included tri-​tip, chicken, salad, drinks, potato salad, and an outdoor BBQ cooking up fresh Brats and other goodies.
She told us from 11:30−2PM they were serving lunch so a couple of us from our office went and checked it out… YUMMY! What a great lunch on a Friday for only $ 7!
The food was outstanding, they were all very nice, and I will be using them for all my catering needs as well as my Friday lunchtime needs!
Thanks Sam for stopping by!

I attended a Breakfast from taste catering. Usually I am not a breakfast person and I avoid large portions. Well I just wanted to try some omelet this was tasty so I went to try their cinnamon bread this was like being in Heaven, I had to take three pieces and still wanted more. This was a delicious breakfast I asked them where was this from and got the name of Taste catering.
The Coffee and Orange Juice was awesome and fresh.
I loved the experience.
