A Touch Of Mesquite

Absolutely wonderful! I ordered tri tip and Italian chicken for a large party. I had not ordered from A Touch of Mesquite before, but I had heard good things about their food. They were so pleasant and helpful over the phone. They did not try to oversell me on quantities, and I found their prices to be very reasonable. They delivered for us just as scheduled, and the gals were so nice. Everyone raved about the meats! The tri tip was cooked to perfection, and the Italian chicken was the best I’ve ever had. We had a group of people ranging from teenagers to elderly, and everyone absolutely loved it. Having great food is such a huge part of the success of any party. This was my daughter’s high school graduation party, and she was so pleased. I highly recommend A Touch of Mesquite and hope to have an occasion to use them again in the near future.

They seem to be hit or miss. We use them at times to cater Birthday lunches for our office. They come in and set up with their steam warmer trays and such, and the presentation is nice. But the food at times has not been so great. We had a birthday catered today and it was awful! Tritip was tough as hell, couldn’t cut through it. The BBQ chicken was alright, nothing to write home about. The lasagna was tasteless and dry and the bread was dry and stale. We all assumed we got their day old bread left overs. The roast veggies were so under cooked, it was like eating raw veggies. Needless to say, people left food on their plates, and not one person went back for seconds. In fact the person celebrating there birthday gets all the left overs to take home. The person today didn’t want them. We have had some fair lunches from them, but nothing outstanding. This will be our last time using them.

If you’re planning a small, medium, or large event or a wedding where a wide variety of excellent food (at VERY affordable prices) and reliable service is at the top of your list, let us recommend A Touch of Mesquite Specialty Catering.
ATMSC catered our wedding recently and we were very pleased with everything ATMSC provided. Working with the owners of ATMSC was very easy, their service staff at our reception was very attentive to our guests, and the food, oh my, the food was simply wonderful!
We discovered ATMSC through our wedding planner Ramona Arnold, owner of Simple Country Weddings and Rentals in Elk Grove. Ramona had worked with ATMSC previously and gave them rave reviews. Ramona was spot on with her recommendation, and we’re glad we listened to her.
Prior to Ramona’s suggestion to consider using ATMSC, we interviewed several caterers in the greater Sacramento area. Not one of the other caterers we interviewed could come close to offering the variety and pricing ATMSC provided.
Great variety of food choices, great prices, and easy to work with folks. Our fear was understandable… was this too good to be true? Could the food be as good as the rest of the package? Happily, we can report that the food was excellent in every way.
Working with the staff at ATMSC was hassle free, and all the details were planned, agreed to, and delivered without a hitch. As I mentioned briefly, the service staff was very professional, courteous, and kept the catering aspects of our reception moving smoothly throughout the entire event.
We highly recommend A Touch of Mesquite Specialty Catering without reservation!
