Wedding Catering

Mexico City Cuisine lives up to its incredible reputation. Our wedding guests couldn’t say enough good things about our wedding menu. We purchased the taco bar and fajitas for our big day and didn’t regret anything. We also rented table linens, plates, silverware, and glassware from them and everything went unbelievably smooth. Their operation is efficient and accommodating so you don’t have to worry about anything on your special day. And once you taste the food you’ll be happy you booked Mexico City Cuisine.

The Food Was So Good!

Mexico City catered my wedding earlier this month and we were so pleased with the food and the service! We decided on their Taco Bar and the food was delicious! I am a native San Diegan but my husband is from the Midwest so it was awesome to have some authentic Mexican food for all our out-of-town guests to experience haha. Everything went perfectly and all our guests really enjoyed the food. Mexico City was very easy to work with and very accommodating to our needs. They provided bartending staff as well as the catering services and also handled our cake-cutting. If you are looking for some delicious Mexican food for your next event I would 1000% recommend Mexico City Cuisine!

Awesome food and service!

Mexico City Cuisine is awesome!

On our wedding day, they totally delivered. The food was delicious. The team were total pros - efficient, friendly, and super attentive. We got so many compliments from our guests about the food and service. Some even said it was the best wedding meal they'd ever had (win!).

Anyone looking for top-notch catering, these are your people. They'll make your event tasty, memorable, and stress-free. Cheers!

Wedding 9/9/2022

We used Mexico City Cuisine for our wedding on 9/9/2022 and they were amazing! The food the night of the wedding was even better than the tasting we had. We also had them do a desert bar for us which included churros and icecream that was a hit! Not only did the food exceed our expectations, the workers helped set up our tables and place settings. They even helped with the cleanup process as well. I would 100% recommend them as your catering service as they go above and beyond!

Forget the typical "fancy" wedding food, everyone loves tacos!

We had Mexico City Cuisine cater our wedding back in June 2021, and I couldn't say enough great things about them! The wife and I were planning our wedding from the east coast, so we took a bit of a gamble and booked Mexico City Cuisine without getting to taste-test the food beforehand. Reviews online indicated their tacos were amazing - and amazing they were!

Eva and Leo were both very professional and responsive to our many questions over email and phone, and they went above and beyond to ensure the bride (who is lactose intolerant) got to enjoy dinner and dessert without any issues! Their setup at the wedding was professional and our guests raved about how good the food was. The bride and I were also blown away by how good everything tasted and how much food we got!

I strongly recommend Mexico City Cuisine for your future wedding reception - or any event, really! What event isn't made better by delicious tacos? Much better than your typical "fancy" wedding dinners. Mexico City Cuisine's price was fair, the service professional, and the food delicious.

10/10 - Would recommend!

This review is long overdue! They were absolutely amazing! We planned our wedding in under 3 months and they were the perfect match. Our guests were very pleased with the food and the bartending service was excellent! They were very professional and prompt with communication. They even added grilled vegetables for the vegetarians. We’re so happy that we chose them!

Eva and Leo are AWESOME to work with! They answered my million+ questions during the wedding planning process and were able to seamlessly pull off catering for nearly 250 people for our October 2017 wedding reception! The food was DELICIOUS and our guests were raving about it for days afterward! They worked with our budget but did not compromise on quality or service. If we had to do it over again we would without a doubt go with Mexico City Cuisine!!

On rather short notice they were able to provide catering for 140 guests with very courteous staff, offering us an exceptional value and making excellent recommendations. The creativity of the owner was helpful and our dinning experience was outstanding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
