A+ experience

We hired Border Grill for catering and bartending services for my post-elopement party in June 2024. I cannot recommend them more!!!! The food was AMAZING, the drinks were stellar, and the team was honestly A+. Working with Taylor to plan the event was so smooth and easy, and Chelsea, who was at our venue for the day of the event, is A SUPER STAR. The rest of the team went really above and beyond; a guest injured her ankle at the end of the party and they helped out immediately, getting her ice and a chair before I even thought to ask. Great communication throughout. We are so happy we went with Border Grill!

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Border Grill was the absolute best choice we made for our wedding in Malibu! Taylor and her team brought our vision to life and made the whole process so fun! Our guests raved about our apps and the tacos. We cannot recommend Border Grill enough!

As a planner, I loved working with Border Grill Catering & Restaurants! They were very professional and punctual. Most importantly, all of the appetizers, food & agua fresca was tasty and the presentation of it all was great. I highly recommend using them for any event or wedding!
