Authentic Valencian paella made by a Spanish chef. Amazing choices for a party ! Definitely worth patronizing!
Catered a work dinner with paella and salad, and it was a big hit! Food was delicious, service was amazing (dropped off warm at just the right time), and price was very reasonable. Highly recommend.
Great paella. My wife wanted some black squid ink paella and Venga Paella Catering delivered. The paella was a big hit. The paella pan was perfectly presented. So good and tasty too.
This review is incredibly delayed, but we are still thinking about the amazing paella from our June 2022 wedding :). We had the greatest experience with Eduardo and his catering team. The food was delicious, fairly priced and beautifully presented, but beyond that he and his team were friendly, reliable, helpful, even *fun* to work with. We still have guests telling us how memorable our wedding meal was. Hiring Eduardo was truly one of the greatest vendor decisions we made and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering.
If you're searching for a caterer, THIS IS THE ONE. After doing a ton of research and quotes, I booked Venga for an outdoor birthday party and the paella was amazing! I'm very picky about food quality and was so impressed. Everything went smoothly, even a windy SF day didn't throw anything off. If anything, it made the cooking experience even more mouthwatering. They've been in business for over a decade and are total pros. I'm going to be craving their food until the next event. Thank you Eduardo for accommodating our smaller party size and such a unique experience!
Every time is great quality and service. Super seafood and arrives hot. Dish is picked up afterwards. Easiest way to entertain.
Eduardo was wonderful to work with and the paella is delicious! As a wedding coordinator, working with professional vendors like Venga make all the difference in the world. Eduardo was great with communication throughout the planning. I was worried there wouldn't be enough food, but it was more than enough and it was so much fun to see the HUGE pans of paella being cooked. The guests left full and happy, and he took care of the vendors as well. Eduardo and Venga are top notch and I would totally work with them again; the paella is so good! THANK YOU, Eduardo!
We recently had them cater an event for us. It was a few days out and Eduardo was able to squeeze us in given the short notice. Great food, punctual, and professional. Our guests (some lived in Spain) loved it. Eduardo was really easy to work with and overall nice guy. Highly recommend them for your event.
Over the holidays, I had the pleasure of tasting Equardo's Venga Paella, and it was truly the BEST EVER! I loved how it was freshly prepared in the traditional style in the two impressive pans. They provided both traditional and vegetarian, which was a joy because I am allergic to seafood. I highly recommend this company to provide a fun and unique Spanish dining experience.
We've had Venga at several of our parties over the years and it's always a hit. This holiday season, we hosted 125 people and Venga handled it with no problems. The paella pan was probably 5 feet across and the guests loved the whole experience. Plus the food was delicious and the range of appetizers and desserts is great. Eduardo is really easy to work with and we asked him to hire extra help for bussing. They did an impeccible job and left the house very clean at the end of the night. The whole experience was wonderful. Thank you Venga!
