South of the Border Catering

I was recently at a function where these guys dished up what might have come out of a can of Chef Boyardee. The meal (no joke) consisted of a small serving of wilted Caesar salad with institutional dressing («can I have a little more please?» «No!»), lasagna and sliced French bread without any butter, just plain bread. There was also spaghetti, but I was told that was for vegetarians only. That’s it. The lasagna was barely warm and not even something Costco would dish up. And who serves up plain bread with nothing else? On top of that, they apparently took offense at an overweight patron whom they accused of already having been through the line. When he asserted he hadn’t, he was grudgingly given a half portion of lasagna apparently to spite him. The «appetizer» consisted of a single plate of vegies for the whole room that looked awfully similar to what I see at Costco, offered up by one of the caterers who stated «we aim to please, not to tease»…yeah right. The portions were very carefully controlled by the two caterers who dished the food up with the regimented precision of a junior high cafeteria lunch room server.
I am only writing this review, not to slight my gracious hosts for the event, but as a warning to anyone else who chooses to enlist the services of a caterer for a special function. If you want it done well with classy food, I am sure you can do much better than this outfit. If I could give minus stars, I would.
One last thing, the caterers were strange. I asked one of them to fill up the ice water dispenser which was adjacent to the food. He said that it wasn’t his job and left it at that. Clearly, he wasn’t aiming to please. How hard would it have been for him to fill the d**** thing up?

Horrendous! Yuck! Chef Len was super flaky and I honestly wasn’t convinced he would show up to cater my party. I couldn’t find any reviews online about this company, so I’m adding one here to prevent someone else from making the same mistake and choosing this caterer. He did show up on time, but the price was significantly higher than the price we had agreed upon. The food was almost inedible. The «spanish rice» looked like it had been dyed with food coloring. The guacamole was watery and runny. The beans and meat were flavorless and my guests were asking for salt. My guests were telling me at the party, «Oh, you should have used my caterer!». I wouldn’t recommend this caterer to my worst enemy.
