About

Alittle bit about us.

We are a small, Family owned Restaurant. We are proud to be a Premier Caterer at the Villa del Sol for over 25 years. At Hidalgo’s we use Fresh, Sustainable, primarily In-House Ingredients meaning whatever you try will be made with care. Each item was thoughtfully curated by our Chef, Scott Rosales and Sous Chef, Ricardo Cardiel. Our Bar Manager, Jason Phreaner, also oversees our sister Restaurant’s Bar Program at The Cellar Restaurant so you and your guests are sure to enjoy only the best of quality drinks. Recently named a ‘Best Restaurant in OC’ by Orange Coast Magazine, we hope this shows our guests the dedication and pride we take in our food, service, and cocktails; just as a Family Restaurant should.

Our goal is to make the time you share with us as exciting and memorable as possible. While we have catered many special events, we understand that each is unique to the couple. We strive to make all accommodations possible to help you customize an event that is truly your own. We value all of our guests, as you allow us to do what we love. Provide forever memories of a Once in a Lifetime Celebration

We could not have asked for a better Day of Coordinator. Dena and her staff were amazing! Dena went above and beyond for the setup of our venue. She not only handled all of our requests but also threw in some thoughtful personal touches that made the day special. We didn’t have to stress about anything for our big day. When we arrived at the venue it was like a dream come true, everything looked perfect! Whenever we needed her she was there for us and she was always happy to help us with any questions we had along the way. The day went absolutely perfect with Dena coordinating all the way until the end of the night. We are so lucky to have found Dena and Café Hidalgo, we are truly thankful.
When it came to the food of Café Hidalgo our guests are still complimenting on how wonderful it was. There is no doubt that it was the best meal we have ever had at a wedding! The packages were great and Dena worked with us with any special requests we had. The staff was so professional and organized. Dena always made time to meet with us and her expertise made all the hard decisions feel easy.
We strongly recommend Café Hidalgo and Dena’s services. We can’t imagine what we would have done without them. Thank you Dena for everything! We can’t wait to see you again soon.

Absolute best catering ever! Dena David and her team were so accommodating and so easy to work with during our planning! I worried about nothing on the wedding day, I knew everything was taken care of. Food was simply delicious, our guests still tell how amazing the food was. Service on the wedding day was fabulous! Could not give enough words to say how grateful we are to the whole team and how much they helped make our special day so fantastic!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Love these guys! We DJ'd a wedding at the Via Del Sol in Fullerton and were pleasantly surprised with the food from Cafe Hidalgo Catering. You won't be disappointed!

ARTISTIC CAKES ARTISTIC CAKES Wedding Cakes

I had been delivered several cakes to Villa del Sol (Cafe Hidalgo in Fullerton). The manager of the catering department (Deanna) and her staff are very helpful, always every thing looked under control and very organized and or course beautiful because since you step over there, you get the vintage sensation also I hear from my brides that the food is delicious !! For me Villa del Sol and Cafe Hidalgo are one the most romantic places I had been visited in my cake deliveries.
