Introduction
LILO’S KITCHEN… MOBILE FOOD CATERING Women of color owned, family owned & ran catering & vending small business. Lilo’s Kitchen was founded in September 2020 by owners Norma and Leslie. We have catered for large corporate companies such as Google, Gilead, Uber, etc as well as some of the largest festivals including Foodieland, Treasure Fest, county fairs, etc. Private events are our fav though! Weddings, rehearsal dinners, bdays, divorce parties, engagement parties, you name if, we have done it! We offer mobile catering with our food truck. We also do vending events so let us know about your next festival/event! Who is Lilo you may ask? Besides being undeniably cute, he is owner Leslie’s son. He is the real boss! We specialized in Mexican food but specialize in beef birria aka shredded beef that has been slow cooked in flavorful broth, then shredded. We are known for our Beef Birria dishes: quesabirria tacos with consomé, ramen birria, birria grilled cheese, birria pizza,and much more! As a Latina family, we regularly get together and one thing that you can always count on is FOOD! Lots of it! One day, auntie Norma decided to make Birria Tacos with consome and BOOM… that was the beginning of something great. Owner, Leslie Munoz knew we had to share this amazing dish with everyone. We humbly started from auntie’s small kitchen and a Black and Decker grill. Thanks to our loyal customers, we quickly worked our way up in three short months to owning & operating a food truck. We started with one goal in mind: to share true authentic, homemade Latin American food with everyone, not just family. Born in Guatemala and married to her Mexican husband for over 30 years, owner Norma is a self-taught home chef who is a genius in the kitchen. She geniously mixes the perfect amount of spices and flavor into every recipe she makes. Bay Area native with strong Guatemalan roots, co-owner Leslie wears multiple hats: Manager, Accountant, HR, Marketing Manager, etc. We are grateful and humbled you are here, and we can't wait to share our kitchen with you!

If there was an option for more than 5 stars, I would give this experience a 10 out of 10. Our company had a great time and food was awesome and great customer service as well. Nothing but great compliments and thanks to Lilos Kitchen. Highly would recommend them.

We had Lilo's kitchen food truck at our birthday party to serve a crowd of 80-100. Everything worked out perfectly. Lilo and her team were on time, provided the services flawless and quickly (people did not have to wait). Most important - this is really high quality food and we got really good feedback from our guests. We would absolutely hire Lilo's kitchen again and highly recommend them to our friends. Thank you so much!!

Lilo's catered a small work party we had. Their food was amazing. They were super professional. Only regret was that we were less busy than we thought so had a surplus of amazing food we could not possibly eat or bring home. Make sure you get your numbers right.

We served Lilo's wonderful tacos for an 18th birthday party. Everyone loved them! They are the perfect party food- crispy, crunchy, cheesy and packed with flavors. We loved all the little toppings and sides tLilo dropped of all the food in time🌷 and all the guests raved about them. Will definitely be hiring Lilo's for future parties!
