    Fantastic Wedding Caterer - LBJ Wildflower Center

    We hired Verde's to cater our wedding this past November at the LBJ Wildflower Center and it was truly one of the best choices we made. Alanna and Cody are true professionals who personally ensure that your event will be perfect down to the smallest detail.
    My husband and I tested out numerous other caterers prior to choosing Verde's and what particularly stood out to us was how personal the experience was with Cody and Alanna compared to the corporate feeling we received with others.
    One thing we focused on throughout the process was being intentional with our choices and Verde's made that easy for us.

    Not only did their team do a fantastic job on the day of our wedding, Cody and Alanna were both personally there as well to calmly handle details, answer questions, and ensure that the food was better than any our guests had ever had at an event.

    I truly cannot give a higher recommendation of their services and am looking forward to visiting their restaurant in person now that we're a married couple!

    Incredible Food & Service

    If you are looking for a caterer who treats you like family AND makes incredible food, Verde's is it! As a wedding designer & planner, they are my go-to catering team. The food is always consistently amazing, and their staff is professional, kind, and always helpful when my clients or I need assistance in anything. Alanna knows how to put together a great menu that won't keep your guests happy, but will also add a unique flair to your wedding. If you have not been in for a tasting yet, Chef Cody is quite helpful and fun to be around. You get to go over the entire catering menu of their impeccable food options, and also get advice for your wedding that you may not have considered before! I cannot thank this team enough for all that they have done for my previous clients and all they will do for future clients!

    Delicious!

    Verdes did an awesome job! They worked with us on the menu and prepared mac & cheese balls as an appetizer which wasn't even on the catering menu... they were delicious! They were affordable and very professional. We received so many compliments on how great the food tasted! Oh and the chocolate churros were SOOOO GOOD!! Thank You! Highly recommend.

    Excellent!

    I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. My husband and I were married this past March 19, 2022 and Verdes Parilla/Bliss Catering catered our wedding. From the very beginning Cody and Alana were so helpful. Cody brought us in for a free tasting, and was very helpful in offering us advice on what really matters in a wedding dinner, those things that we didn’t need to spend extra money on, and how to expedite getting guests through a buffet line. The Mexican food was super tasty, but when we mentioned that we are trying to choose between Mexican and Texas BBQ they let us know about their catering company called Bliss that serves BBQ. We looked at a couple other places just to have some options, but ended coming back to Verdes/Bliss because they were so genuine in dealing with us, offered the free tasting dinner (plus we came back for some free BBQ to taste), and we could tell they were going to be able to handle our difficult venue. As a side note, our venue was an outdoor ranch that did not have a kitchen, oven, or freezer, so it required a lot of extra effort on the part of a caterer. Alana was so helpful and communicative the entire time we were planning our menu and went back and forth on a number of iterations of the contract. They were very accommodating when dealing with our bar tenders too and bringing items they needed. On the day of the wedding, I was blown away by their professionalism. Everything was set up perfectly and ran so smoothly and on time. And the food was AMAZING! It was a perfect fusion of Texas BBQ and Mexican. So many guests told us afterward how good the food was, and my brother still raves about their nacho bar. I would definitely go with Bliss again for another event, and highly recommend them to anyone for any event!

    Wonderful Caterer!

    I am a planner in the area and this was my first time working with Verdes for one of my couples. The entire experience was great and owner Alanna was helpful from start to finish. Even with multiple contacts involved, Alanna accommodated any last minute changes with a smile on her face. Her and her staff were professional, friendly, and the food was so flavorful. They all worked so hard from the moment they arrive for setup, through the end of the evening for breakdown. I will definitely be suggesting Verdes in the future for other clients. Highly recommend Alanna and her team if you are looking for a quality full-service caterer for your wedding or special event.

    Delicious and Professional

    The entire team at Verde's was amazing throughout our 1.5 year engagement. From the very start, Alanna was so patient with my questions and helpful at recommending dishes, flatware or linens for the event.

    The food was DELICIOUS! We had a lot of people come up to us at the wedding and after remarking on how good the food was, totally unprompted. Of all the different caterers we tried, Verde's was the most affordable and tasted the best. I would highly recommend them for your wedding or next event!

    Verde's Mexican Parrilla's reply:

    Thank you both! We absolutely loved working with you as well! Thanl you both for both being such a sweet couple to work with!

    Delicious food with great service

    They came highly recommended by our day of coordinator and they did not disappoint. Alanna was a pleasure to work with and the food was AMAZING. We still have our guests reminding us of how delicious the food was. From the tasting to the final clean up, the staff was great. The pricing includes total service...they set all the place settings for the reception and helped consolidate all of the table decor at the end of the night. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND their food and service!!

    Verde's Mexican Parrilla's reply:

    Thank you Anna for your kind words! I enjoyed working with you as well :) We hope you will be visiting Verde's soon!

    I can’t say enough good things about Alanna and her team. My guests are still talking about the bacon wrapped shrimp and how helpful the servers were to find them and bring them more lol.
    Easy to work with, great choices and good pricing. The venue owner was also happy because they did an awesome job cleaning everything up too!

    Verde's provided the catering for our wedding reception and rehearsal dinner, and we could not be more thrilled with the quality of the food and service. Everything was delicious and we received many comments on how the tasty everything was. They were very easy to work with and a good value. They are very experienced with weddings and we did not have to worry or stress about the food or service being provided with them. If you are looking for catering, check them out!

    Verde's Mexican Parrilla – Fabulous Food and Even Better Service


    We hired Verde’s for our son’s wedding in June 2020 at Star Hill Ranch in Austin, TX. Alanna was wonderful from the initial tasting to the execution of the event. And boy did we have challenges with the constant COVID 19 changes! Alanna always remained calm and creative – answering our concerns and providing great ideas for tasty food - the bacon wrapped quail is to die for - and exemplary service – pulling off fun food for our after party when the hotel bar was closed the day of our event! Verde’s helped create a wonderful wedding day for our son and his bride – food with flair and service that is second to none!

    Verde’s catered our rehearsal dinner. Cody and Alanna were so great to work with! When we went for our tasting, they brought out tons of food for us to taste! I guess this is the advantage of doing a tasting with a restaurant that is already cooking food for patrons rather than an independent caterer where you need to request specific dishes and get to try a smaller variety of things. We had the spaghetti squash cakes and queso verde as our appetizer, the chicken and pork as our entrees, and the grilled squash and cilantro lime rice as our sides. They were all delicious! We had chocolate tres leches cake for dessert, which was a little dry, but that’s ok, the rest of the food was fantastic. They were also very accomodating when I had to add alcohol to my order the morning of the rehearsal dinner … somehow it had been overlooked! And they made a last minute change to the credit card I charged to help me out with an issue I was having, even at their own expense! I was so appreciative. The food helped set the tone for a fun and festive rehearsal dinner to kick off our wedding weekend, and I was so glad I hired them!

    We used Verdes as the caterer for our wedding. Our coordinator recommended the to us, and we were NOT disappointed! The food was absolutely FABULOUS! All of our guests raved over the appetizers and the meal. We live in San Antonio and drove specifically to the far Southwest side of Austin to eat at Verdes twice before the wedding (that should tell you how tasty this place is). For the wedding, I was a little concerned that the food would not be as good as it is in the restaurant, but that concern was layed to rest at the wedding when I tasted the food. It was just as good as it was in the restaurant. My husband and I were so pleased! The staff, and the event manager were top notch. We had a buffet style dinner, and they loaded up the plates with food. As the Bride and Groom, we did not go through the buffet line, our coordinator brought us our food, but from what our guests tell us, the lines went very fast, and they all got plenty of food! Those that were still a little hungry after their first round even went back for seconds. If you're looking for a unique meal for your wedding, I would HIGHLY recommend Verde's Mexican Parrilla. My husband and I will definitely make special trips to Austin just to eat there again.

    Verdes has a great restaurant off Hamilton Pool RD and they cater!! Alana provided professional servers for our served buffet dinner, everyone was well dressed and polite to all our guests. We had 2 bars set up for the ceremony and cocktail hour, the bartenders were provided by Verdes, and worth every penny to have your guests not wait in long lines. Everything was so delish, cocktail hour we had Bacon Wrapped Quail Breast & Calabaza Cakes hand served & for dinner Pollo Palomino, poblano mashed potatoes, corn, Ensalada Verde Alana and Cody really understand nervous MOB and they calmed me and provided catering with such ease! The staff also were our venue clean up staff. If you are considering catering an event look at Verdes, food, service and staff are 5 star! Thanks Alana and Cody!!

    I used Verdes for my rehearsal dinner and wedding - the food is THAT DANG GOOD! They were only about 15 minutes from my venue in Dripping Springs and their food is AMAZING. We had a huge tasting and loved everything we tried. Our guests have told us how it was the best food they have had at a wedding.
    At the rehearsal, we had a limited menu, appetizers, and drinks for a cheaper price & higher quality of food instead of a buffet which was one of the only options due to price with other restaurants. They have an amazing outdoor area and a seated room for parties. We actually used both.
    Alanna and her staff were FANTASTIC at the wedding. The heat caused the cakes to begin falling and one of Alanna's staff fixed the cake. No one knew till after the wedding when she let us know. Alanna also returned a linen rental on Monday that the rental company forgot Saturday during clean up since we live so far away. Along with all that, someone ate our to go plates (who does that) and Alanna had them remake everything fresh for us instead of just giving us left overs from the wedding. We got to keep all the left overs unlike a lot of catering companies. Also, their prices are UNBEATABLE! Best food, best service, and best price! You can't go wrong with this place!

    My husband likes to research most things before we purchase. However, when we were looking for a caterer for our daughter's wedding, he said that he didn't need a tasting anywhere but Verde's. They catered a wedding we had previously attended and the food was fantastic. We had a tasting and Chef Cody sat with us for much of the meal which made the evening such a wonderful memory! Alanna is their catering manager and she is excellent at her job. She gave me great advice on food as well as items that she wasn't responsible for...such as amount of alcohol to purchase. When we ran out of beer, she took it upon herself to run and purchase for us! That was so kind of her. Another side benefit to Verde's is that they will rent items needed under their agreement so I didn't have to hire another vendor. We heard more than once that our food was the best our guests had ever had at a wedding. Verde's just opened a second location in Round Rock!

    This restaurant is WONDERFUL! And the staff are a huge part of the greatness. Krista and Cody did a phenomenal job with our rehearsal lunch! The food was outstanding, service was personal and very friendly. Verde's was referred to us by another vendor and we are so happy that we took the advice. We had about 15 guests at the lunch and Krista/Cody put together the perfect menu, accommodating special diets and food requests without a problem. They kept everyone is a happy mood, and even opened the restaurant to us before they opened for the day so we could have a private event. Again, everything was just above and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    Verde's catered our LLS philanthropy event in January. They came to our home and set up and served. Everyone was complimentary of the food and service. I also work at Cypress Falls Event Center in Wimberley, Tx so I knew their good quality was fantastic. We live that they are a family business too.

    I love Verde's! Alanna was so responsive and worked with our venue to figure out details. She helped us find ways to cut costs while still executing our ideal reception. They handled all the rentals for us with no additional mark up and even shopped around for the lowest price on the rentals. The food was incredible to the point where after I'm still hearing compliments and several guests have gone to their restaurant for dinner.

    We had a party for our son and daughter-in-law after the wedding at our ranch. The event was under tents and rain poured during event. However, that did not impact the quality of food, service or organization provided by Verdes! We continued to get compliments from the guests all night on how good the food was. We appreciated the cheerfulness, organization and professionalism of Alanna and her staff. We had compliments about the servers behind the buffet knowing what was in the sauces for people that were gluten intolerant. The cleanup was organized and expedient. It made having a party--even in the rain--a lot of fun.

    I can't say enough good things about this catering team. Joel, Alanna, and Cody were great to work with. They catered by daughter's wedding at Camp Lucy in June 2012. It was not a "mexican" dinner but the Palomino chicken was fabulous as was the fire roasted corn, and poblano cream mashed potatoes, and special green salad. Our guests loved the food. The staff was easy to work with and made the evening very stress free.

    Amazing Food and Service!

    When we were trying catering vendors, we didn't expect that the food we liked best would also be at the best price. But that was the case for Verdes! Their unique food style wowed us from the moment we tried it and they delivered on our wedding day. We still have guests reminding us that "that was the best chicken we've ever had!". Alanna and her staff were very professional and they worked with us to provide a dining experience for all preferences.

    Catered for our vegetarian Texas / Mexican food wedding in Austin

    Cody, Alanna, and team, thank you for taking a chance on our concept and creating something fabulous! The food was exquisite, and we got nothing but compliments on it. You rock! We will be back for dinner sometime soon.

    We hired Verdes for our April 2022 wedding at Star Hill Ranch. We are mostly vegetarian but I am from Texas, so we wanted to create a totally vegetarian menu that still highlighted Texan and Mexican cuisine, and Verdes did not disappoint! They worked with us on multiple options during our tasting, and everybody mentioned they enjoyed the food the day-of. The churro bar at the end of the night was perfect.

    Outstanding, Quality Food, Incredible Staff, and More!

    My husband and I were very excited to work with Verde's for our wedding this past February here in Austin. From the beginning, they were very flexible, giving us a private tasting during COVID times, and willing to work with us on all of our rental needs. The staff at Verde's, especially Alanna, helped us out immensely. I felt like I didn't need to lift a finger the day of the wedding, they took care of everything.
    We had some last minute problems we ran into--as do all weddings, I suppose, haha--but they were extremely flexible and efficient. Not only is the food delicious, but also everything looks good to eat! They cleaned up in a timely manner, and all staff was extremely pleasant to our guests. Thank you Verde's!

    Great Team

    We love Verde's as a restaurant so we were excited that they cater. Our tasting was wonderful but on the day of our food was not nearly as tasty as what we had tried before. I still got tons of compliments on everything, there was plenty to go around and I am happy with our choice.
