Introduction

My name is Chef Carlos and I have been a Chef/Executive Chef for over 20 years in San Francisco. I got my start under Michael Mina at Aqua restaurant in the city. I now reside in Tracy and love being able to create a private chef experience or caterings for clients. At Porras Solutions we love organic, fresh products and the quality that California has to offer. Private chef for that special anniversary dinner, birthday dinner/party, private events, cooking lessons, and meal planning for those nights you just don't feel like cooking. Please check us out on Instagram (@porras_solutions), Facebook (Porras Solutions), Twitter (@chefporras), Yelp! I look forward to helping you with your next event and creating some magic. Cheers!

I would highly recommend Chef Carlos to cater any type of private event. We hired him for a private dinner party for my daughter's 25th birthday while we were visiting the Sonoma area. He and Donna were very easy to work with and helped with ideas for the menu. The dinner itself was outstanding - you will not be disappointed in the quality and presentation of his food. From the soy glazed octopus with coconut rice as one of the appetizers to the bacon wrapped filet mignon with wasabi mashed potatoes and miso sea bass with pickled cucumbers as the entrees - everything was soooo delicious. He was very accommodating with anything we wanted to add or change and for the value of what we got - you can't beat it. You won't be disappointed if you hire Porras Solutions!

For my husband’s 52nd birthday celebration on September 1st 2024, we had the pleasure of working with Carlos & Donna Porras from Porras Solutions, LLC, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything turned out. From the start, they were incredibly responsive, promptly accommodating changes we made to the menu with ease and flexibility. The event was beautifully executed, with an incredible menu that featured avocado puffs, falafel with tzatziki, paneer empanadas, arepas with fried cheese, and bruschetta with burrata and olives. For the main course, we had ricotta and spinach cannelloni, flatbread with chicken shawarma, cilantro pesto with paneer, arancini arrabiatta, and grilled asparagus and green beans, flatbread and pasta Alfredo. Dessert was a true highlight and a delightful finale, with mango panna cotta, crème brûlée, and strawberry lemon tarts. We even had a bartender who provided a drink list in advance, making sure everything was tailored to our preferences. Carlos and Donna arrived well ahead of time to set up allowing us to relax knowing everything was in capable hands. Carlos and Donna’s team handled everything—from bringing and setting up the dinner tables, chairs and linens, to arranging the décor, to serving the food family-style, which added a warm, communal vibe to the celebration. Their attention to detail and professionalism made the event stress-free and enjoyable for us and our guests. Everyone was raving about both the food and the flawless service. I highly recommend Porras Solutions, LLC, for anyone looking to host an event where the food, service, and ambiance come together perfectly. They made my husband’s birthday an unforgettable experience.

The bartending help that was provided for our retirement party was top notch, and the service was above and beyond what we expected. Carlos gave exceptional service in every way and even our guests remarked on the excellent hospitality that they received from the bartenders that we had at the event. VERY happy to have worked with Porras Solutions!

Absolutely wonderful! Francisco showed up early, well dressed and oh so very helpful. Above and beyond my expectations.
