Catering Central

Catering Central and I worked a gig together for Varmour (I’m a face painter/​henna artist). I have worked a tremendous amount of gigs and am usually lukewarm to the food at a picnic. I was anything but lukewarm. Their food was excellent, they kept everything filled, they were inconspicuous and their brownies were absolutely THE BEST I have ever had… AND they were gluten free. I think they’re an extremely well run catering company who have hired the best employees and have a killer chef.

I heard about Catering Central and Chef Marcos from one of my co-​workers who has worked with him on several fundraising events in the past.
Marcos was a true pleasure to work with! I’m the coordinator for a talk series at Stanford University and needed to order food for about 50 people. I was lucky to discover Catering Central, because they provide several interesting menu items — Thai, Salvadorian, California Fresh, Indian, etc. The food was very delicious, fresh, and unique. He also works with your budget to give you a good selection of options along with sides. Everyone was very complimentary. I look forward to placing more orders with him in the future.
I highly recommend Catering Central! :)

Marcos and central catering provided a fantastic spread for our wedding reception. We were looking for a no fuss, tasty garden party and he delivered on all counts. The food was fantastic and servers he brought in to man the bar and pass through with the food were great, personable guys.
If you are looking for good food and great service, stop looking and just phone him now… ;)

Working with Catering Central as we put together a wedding reception/​celebration for 150 people was a completely successful experience! It was truly a pleasure to work with Marcos and his team at every step along the way. The planning was seamless, the presentation was beautiful, the food was excellent… the whole event worked out just as we hoped it would! Before the event we met with Marcos personally various times, and he reviewed every single aspect with us in detail so that the food, the décor, the timing, and so much more… were all perfectly in place for the event itself. The menu was varied and delicious, so many guests complimented us on the selection of taste treats. His staff is well-​trained and supportive, yet quietly invisible as they work. The tables and place settings were lovely, as we had envisioned. And his price quote compared to others was definitely affordable. We felt we got high quality work at a very reasonable price. I recommend Marcos and his Catering Central team without reservation!

Chef Marcos and his team are the best! The best food, excellent service and very consistent! We are fortunate enough to have his food 4x per week and he has never let us down! High quality, cost effective, great service, exceeded my expectations!

Hats off to Catering Central! I called Marcos on Tuesday for an event for 70 people on Friday. I provided him with my budget and an idea of what I wanted. He made suggestions and came in UNDER budget!
The food was delicious… the suggestions made were perfect, his professionalism and customer service were outstanding and the empanadas won rave reviews. What can I say about the quick turn-​around except … amazing.
Thank you so much for making our holiday event a success! I am looking forward to using your services again.

I just had Catering Central just deliver Strawberry Shortcake and a wonderful Chocolate cake to our company in Santa Clara for 90 people. Everyone loved it and said it was the best chocolate cake they have ever had. This caterer is in Mtn View and most excellent. I can’t wait to book another dessert and food event with them. Great job!

This is a terrific place. Had several samples of his cooking and it is fantastic [the soup and pasta sauce were wonderful]. His flavors are complex and well balanced. If you have the opportunity to have your event catered by him, you will not be dissapointed.

I ran into Chef Marcos while he was stocking his delicious lasagna at the Milk Pail, in Mountain View
A long time ago I lived in Argentina, and the empanadas that he makes are as close as I’ve come to the real thing here in the USA.
The lasagna was also great, its not smothered in cheese, but has the right mix. You can actually see what you are getting. I’ll go back for more.

We have hired Catering Central for fundraising events. Marcos is always professional and timely. The food he prepares is so flavorful and different than other catering companies I have used in the past. At our events, people felt like they were eating at a fine dining restaurant. The food does not taste like it is being made for large quantities of people. Marcos’ food dishes are delicious creations! I often wish he had a restaurant so that I could order and eat the food anytime I wanted. I recommended Catering Central to my father’s company to use for business meetings. They ordered sandwiches and my dad cannot stop talking about the amazing quality and flavors of the sandwiches. To sum up: you cannot go wrong with Catering Central!

Marcos did a fantastic job catering an event for 100 hungry athletes at Stanford; highly recommended!

I first sampled Marcos’s cooking while he was a head chef at a top bay area restaurant and I find his style and flavors a fantastic mix of California cuisine and exotic culinary spices from around the globe. He offers complex dishes that taste amazing, as well as simple foods that taste complex. I have now used Catering Central’s services for personal events and for occasional in office lunch meetings. There are never complaints from my coworkers as Marcos’s offerings can generally accommodate everyone’s taste. I would personally recommend Catering Central for both personal and business events. Marcos is also a really nice guy and is passionate about his food. His personality and his attention to detail definitely carry through to his cooking and service.
