    Wonderful Team

    We worked with Border Grill for our August wedding in Los Angeles, and we couldn't be happier! Working with them in the months leading up to the wedding were so easy, Taylor was super responsive and helpful in arranging everything. It was easy to get pricing and we really appreciated the transparency when getting pricing packages for different types of service. We ended up going with the taco buffet option, and we have received so many compliments on the food from our guests! On the day, the Border Grill team was prepared, professional, kind, and efficient. They helped out with all the little things like pouring water at the tables, busing cocktail glasses, and even kindly prepared plated dishes for me and my husband. We didn't have to worry about a thing for catering the entire day. The food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend working with Border Grill for your event!

    Amazing to work with!

    I have worked with Broder Grill at a few weddings and they never disappoint. Taylor is great to work with, on top of communications, and flexible when it comes to changes and updates. The food is always great and the staff is on top of everything, providing a great service! Highly recommend!

    Zero Regrets

    The quality of food and service was just what we were looking for. We wanted quality food that people would talk about and remember. A wedding guest told us, "Wow, someone finally figured out wedding food". Food was something we were excited about and we are so happy to report that everyone loved it. The agua frescas were on point, bartending service on point, chip and guac station on point, entrees/appetizers everything was so delicious. Hire Border Grill (Taylor was the best) for quality food and service at your wedding!

    Fantastic affordable Mexican catering!

    Border Grill was absolutely delicious and fantastic! Taylor, our point person, was fantastic to work with. We were excited to have more interesting/unique food at our wedding that was also affordable. Taylor helped us coordinate rentals (including managing everything when the rental place closed down only two weeks before our wedding!) and kept our minds at ease. All our guests loved the food and everything ran smoothly on the day of. During the wedding the on-site catering coordinator also came up to us (bride and groom) to ask what we wanted to drink and make sure it was ready at our sweetheart table. Overall fantastic service the whole way through!

    Wedding Catering

    I was extremely pleased with my experience with Border Grill Catering from the very beginning. Taylor responded right away after an email request and was responsive and helpful at every turn. The staff at the event were absolutely wonderful; both efficient and kind. Several people commented on how delicious the food was and a lucky few got to munch on leftovers in the days after. I couldn't be more pleased with how smoothly everything went. My only regret is I didn't eat more chips and guacamole or chicken tinga empanadas during appetizer hour!

    Delicious, easy to work with, flexible

    Taylor and Border Grill were so easy to work with and executed amazingly on the day of. We asked them to provide a completely vegan wedding and they accommodated us easily and deliciously. In addition, we had many questions along the way that Taylor answered quickly and patiently - she was a pleasure to work with! We would highly recommend them and hope to attend another wedding catered by Border Grill!

    Hire Border Grill for your wedding or next event!

    Where do I even begin with this phenomenal team! From the moment I began communicating with Taylor, the catering manager, I knew I was in good hands. Not only was her communication flawless and professional, but she covered bases I never would've thought of. Needless to say, she thought of it all and worked with my wedding planner to ensure execution was incredible on day of. Ryan and I were nervous not having done a tasting prior to the big bday, however I was recommended to Border Grill by a good friend who could not stop raving about the food. On the big day, I was nothing but impresses - from the staff that continually made sure we were taken care of, to the kitchen staff that executed in a foreign kitchen, to the clean up, I mean I could go on and on. I only had 25ish people at the wedding and all they could talk about was how good the food was. I personally had the chicken enchiladas and they were out of this world. Not to mention, the best ceivhce I've ever tasted! Thank you Border Grill for making our day so incredible!

    Kind, Understanding, and my Go-To for all Future Catering Events

    Border Grill was nothing but professional and understanding throughout our wedding planning process, and our contact there (Lauren) was always very responsive and full of suggestions. When our wedding was cancelled, they were extremely understanding and flexible. The level of kindness they showed to ensure our happiness was unparalleled, and I cannot thank them nor recommend them enough to all brides. This caterer will take care of you.

    Fantastic service from the start to finish!

    Taylor and the Border Grill staff were amazing! Taylor is so responsive and was so accomodating to our requests. She remembered EVERYTHING we discussed including all the little details. We had a lot of last-minute changes due to the Coronavirus mandates and she worked with us and helped make these changes. I cannot thank her and her team enough for making this day happen with a smile on their faces. We received so many compliments about the food and staff on our Wedding Day. We have nothing but great things to say about our entire experience with them and cannot recommend her and Border Grill enough!

    Delicious Food!

    Border Grill was a huge hit at our wedding! The food was delicious and the staff was very nice and helpful. Throughout the planning process they were very attentive in answering all of my many many questions. I would hire them again to cater any event.

    Pros from start to finish

    Can't say enough good things about Taylor and her team at Border Grill. We knew we wanted to do Mexican food for our wedding, and we looked at countless caterers around LA. From a taste perspective, BG always stood out because Mexican food is their specialty (vs. a caterer who does all kinds of food, creating a Mexican menu). But maybe more impressive was how responsive and organized Taylor was from the beginning. It made us rest easy knowing that such an important part of our wedding day was in such capable hands, and sure enough the entire thing went seamlessly and our guests raved about the food. Highly highly recommend!

    Hire Border Grill!

    If you are planning a Southern California wedding and are dreaming of margaritas and tacos, Border Grill is the best choice you could make! We researched MANY catering companies and Taylor with Border Grill blew us away at our tasting. When it came to wedding day, the food and drinks were delicious and the staff was very friendly and efficient. Taylor and her staff are very detailed oriented from the moment they arrive to the last glass cleaned and put away. When you book Border Grill, you will get way more than just a catering company!
    Much love,
    Trisha & Cory

    Still Getting Compliments

    When we started thinking about what we wanted to prioritize at our wedding, food was towards the top of the list. I got quotes from many different prospective vendors and was surprised at the relative affordability of Border Grill. Then we had our tasting and the deal was sealed! (So much for getting in as many tastings as possible! Haha) They were SO GOOD and could accommodate our scale (185) and any necessary dietary restrictions. They were incredibly helpful (and beared with me) throughout the process of deciding the exact quantities along the way as well as navigating the requisite rentals that would be needed for family-style plating. We were so pleased that everyone raved about how wonderful the food was! We still hear compliments to this day. The only thing I'm sad about is not asking for photos of the amazing spread!

    Border Grill Catering is amazing!
    The service and quality of the food was great. One thing guests always remember about you wedding is the food. We received so many compliments from our guests that it was incredible. I highly recommend them!

    Border Grill catered our wedding (3/24/18) and we couldn't have been happier! They did passed apps, a taco bar and bar service for us. I worked with both Clare and Nicole and they were so helpful. They worked within our budget, helped us find a menu that would keep all of our guests happy (we had lots of palates to please from vegetarian, vegan, meat-loving and kids), and even helped us arrange rentals. Just one example of their attention to detail: after the ceremony, my husband and I had to miss most of cocktail hour for photos. But one of their staff (thank you Pablo!) prepared a tray with one of each of the appetizers for us to eat before the photos. So thoughtful, because we would have completely missed all of the apps otherwise. Pablo also checked on us all night long and brought us food and drinks so we could focus on talking to our guests and dancing the night away instead of standing in the buffet and bar lines. Book Border Grill, you will not be disappointed, and neither will your guests!

    Amazing Caterer!

    I am writing this review wayyyy too late (a little over 2 years after my wedding) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Border Grill all the praise they deserve. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Border Grill previously and found them to be so easy to work with as well as extremely professional. They always had the absolute best food so I knew when I was getting married they were at the top of my list! My husband at the time was hesitant as he isn’t the biggest fan of Mexican food even though I explained to him several times that it's a delicious modern fusion. Once we had our tasting he was sold! Taylor was so great to work with and so flexible with all our requests. We of course had to add on the churro tots for desserts as well as late night tamales. Nothing was left from either of those stations! We did a plated dinner and our guests could not stop raving about the choices, especially the short rib, it was a huge hit!

    Border Grill was an AMAZING partner in catering our wedding. Over the year that we planned our wedding we had several points of contact given that people in the organization moved on to other parts of the operation. At each hand off, there was never a ball that dropped. To the contrary, the response time for every email I sent was almost always immediate and thoroughly professional. I received calls before the event just to check in. I felt like they were looking out for me. The whole process was very intimate and personal even though we were hundreds of miles away.

    Border Grill made the whole process of selecting a menu very easy. I can still remember how delicious the food was at the tasting. Sadly, I was too busy at the actual wedding to try the food, but the guests were raving. The wedding went off without a hitch, very smooth. And the food truck and entire presentation were just so cool looking!

    I would without a doubt do it all over again with Border Grill. Thank you Border Grill!

    We had the pleasure of enjoying the delicious food from Border Grill Catering at my daughter's wedding last weekend. The food was amazing ( we expected no less as this is Feniger and Milliken's Border Grill), but to have it delivered, set up and served under the stars in Pacific Palisades was awesome.

    From the start with our complimentary tasting at Border Grill and yummy signature margarita, The Border Grill staff, led by coordinator Clare Toffoli, could not have been more professional or friendlier. Every single request we made of Clare and her staff was speedily accommodated with a smile. Clare happily visited the venue prior to the wedding to ensure that the kitchen accommodations would be appropriate--and even made time for a last minute call with me(mother of the bride) the day she was scheduled to leave town. Clare also came to the venue during food service to ensure that all was going smoothly. Pretty much above and beyond.

    An additional shout out should go to Pablo the onsite coordinator who single handedly moved a three tier wedding cake down a flight of stairs and our bartenders Greg and Celina.

    I would not hesitate to recommend this company for any event--courteous, professional and amazing food--what more could you ask for?

    Great catering company. Love that they have a food truck, so the food was always freshly cooked. They came on time and served when the guests arrived for our appetizers. We had a rustic themed wedding, and their set up matched perfectly. Doing business with them was so easy as Lauren was prompt in replying with my emails. Any request I did, or last minute changes she would reply right away within an hour. It was the easiest business to deal with. They were very professional. And I would highly recommend this catering company, some guests even asked for their business info to know more because the food was so good. We love going to their restaurant in downtown LA. :)

    If you are looking for awesome quality and a less formal option than a sit down dinner, Border Grill's quick catering option is perfect! In coming up with a menu and figuring out the details ahead of time, Amber could not have been more helpful, responsive or accommodating. And on the day of the reception, Chelsea, who came to set everything up, was so friendly and fun and sweet that we were seriously considering inviting her to stay for the reception! It didn't hurt that the food was delicious. I strongly recommend Border Grill.

    The Border Grill truck and their catering team went above and beyond for my wedding. Every single dish/drink: from the agua frescas, to the fresh cut fruit, to the palomas, to the tacos, to the churro tots were absolutely delicious. Their staff was professional and punctual and were in and out of the venue in a flash, leaving the space cleaner than they found it. Most of our guests commented to my wife and I about how our wedding had the best food and drinks they've ever had. I would recommend Border Grill catering to anyone who wants delicious and memorable food for any occasion.

    Border Grill just catered our wedding last Saturday at Heritage Square Museum and it was a hit! We did not have a kitchen at the venue so we had to have a food truck. Lauren was responsive and wonderful to work with from the start. She was thorough and professional and made sure all our requests were taken care of. Our guests loved the food and liked the food truck options. We had a grill station and a food truck from them and it helped speed things up so everyone ate in a timely manner. It was a wonderful time and they were a dream to work with.

    We decided on Border Grill from the beginning and we are so happy with that choice. The food was unbelievable and the quality of service from the Chef to the Servers was impeccable. Not only were my groom and I delighted with Border I have had several guests call me to say this was one of the best catered weddings they have attended. If you have the opportunity and are in the Santa Monica area I would highly recommend Border Grill as one of the best restaurants in the area to check out. If you are looking for a caterer for your next event, I would look no further. Stacey is remarkable and can assist on many levels with making your wedding a day to remember and enjoy.

    Border Grill created an amazing buffet for my wedding and i highly recommend them! Stacy and the crew were so easy to work with from the very beginning. She listened to what we wanted, and even helped us stay within our budget. On the day of, everything went seamlessly. And most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious and everyone raved. We ended up doing a buffet of 4 taco options and the crowd loved it.

    Go with Border Grill!
