Chef Aaron was truly exceptional when working our recent event. The food was incredible, all being made by hand and one of the best chef experiences I have had! His team was punctual, responsive and quick to pivot/improvise when we had equipment issues in our kitchen prior to his arrival. Chef ensured that the experience would not be interrupted based on any challenges. Christine was also lovely to coordinate with and made custom menus matching our event theme, a great touch! End to end, it was a great experience and I cannot recommend them enough. I will definitely be calling Chef Aaron the next time I am in the LA area!

Chef Aaron and his assistant did a fantastic job catering my event. The food prep was fantastic and everything was delicious. My guests raved about it!!! He arrived hours early, was increadably responsive and a great value, and made my party a hugh hit. I can't say enough great things about him and his assistant. I'd absolutely use him in the future.

I was so pleasantly surprised by chef Esquibel! His punctuality was perfect, his food was so delicious that all my guests couldn't stop talking about the food, he gave me exactly the food I wanted and he was very down to earth.

I have NO WORDS! Chef Aaron is absolutely all that. He prepared the most remarkable Spanish-style dinner for my family, everyone was blown away (including those w/ food sensitivities that he catered to wonderfully). You can tell (& taste) the care he puts into his craft. He was also a delight to work with & I can't wait to call him for the next event.
