Alex Catering

I absolutely LOVEEEEEEE ALEX! My first taste of his food was at my brother’s wedding reception in 2011 and I have been hooked ever since. Not only is he affordable but he takes the time to sit with you and discuss what you want. He has catered many of family’s events including my 30^th birthday party! When we tell our guests the food is being catered by Alex they are just as excited as we are!
Alex has a wide variety of choices from jambalaya, shrimp kabobs, sliders, mac n cheese cups to homemade pita chips, everything he makes is beyond delicious! Your taste buds will thank you. He recently catered my family’s annual Christmas party and EVERYONE loved everything single dish he made. We even had guests call us the next day asking can they come over for leftovers! The low reviews on here are BS! Alex works with your budget and his FOOD and SERVICE NEVER EVER SUFFERS!
Alex is the sweetest, most down to earth person who has become a part of our family since the day we met!
I recommend ALEX ! Don’t miss out!

Once again Alex brought his A-​game! I love him! He catered my daughter’s 30^th birthday. He made it a night to remember, the food was superb and his poise and grace was remarkable. He catered my son reception dinner 2 years ago and the people that were there were so happy to see him again and enjoy his wonderful food! He amazing! My family love him!

Alex and his team catered our wedding last month, and they were great to work with! A few awesome highlights in particular:
–This guy cares about food. We had a few meetings with Alex to come up with a menu, and it was so fun bouncing ideas back and forth. He was open to and enthusiastic about learning our specific tastes and crafting a delicious, creative spread. (Pro tip: The wagyu beef is a specialty of theirs, and I highly recommend it! We’re STILL getting people raving about the beef a month and a half later!)
–Alex is very flexible, and was willing to help us out not only with the food, but with all of the «non-​edibles» and services that go along with a buffet for dozens of people. He took care of all the plates, cups, silverware etc. that we would have had to hunt around for otherwise. His staff was totally pro with the set-​up and take-​down/​clean-​up as well; we never had to worry about a thing. Having their expertise and skills made the day so much less stressful!
–Their pricing is very straightforward, which we appreciated. No crazy fees, no hidden costs. And again, very flexible and able to work within all kinds of budgets.
All in all, these guys added a whole dimension of enjoyment to our wedding with their amazing food and service. Alex is friendly, passionate, a top-​notch cook, and really fun to work with. Highly recommended, without a doubt!

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! I can’t say it enough! Food… AMAZING… Staff… AMAZING… Alex… AMAZING! Alex catered our wedding at the Smog Shoppe on 10/​21/​2011 and we received so many compliments. He was the perfect fit for what we wanted. He has a passion for cooking and he creates a menu that fits what you want. Alex if you read these I want to say THANK YOU!

I love love love Alex and his team! My small 40 person wedding was amazing thanks to my amazing vendors and Alex was no exception. The food was fantastic, the professionalism and friendliness of the staff was superb, and Alex and his team were all so accommodating which was really important to me. If there was one thing I didn’t have to worry about, it was the food and service. It was perfect.
When I first contacted Alex, he said he personally was booked the day of my event, but he assured me he could pull it off with his amazing team of chefs and servers. He wasn’t kidding. Alex and his team came the day before of my event to set up and prep. The day of, Nicholas the head chef, Ricardo the assistant chef, and Michelle the Head server, along with a bartender, and two other servers, did everything. It was perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the results. My guest couldn’t stop raving about the food. Even my 7 year old nephew, who happens to be the pickiest eater in the world, came to tell me how good the food was.
There was a mishap in the kitchen, with the microwave. Turned out, they were cooking too close and too high to the microwave and it actually melted! I was really shocked to see that. I spoke to Alex, a day or two later, and he already knew about it and said not to worry, he would replace it. No questions asked.
All in all, I am completely satisfied. Thank you thank you thank you to Alex and his team!

Alex and his team of cateres set the standards for excellent catering. His team has been very cooperative at my location and have made both the employees at the venue and his guests very happy. The service is beyond 5 stars. They are able to listen to simple tasks and follow the rules down to the exact time.
The food was very exquisite as well. A very unique and creative menu always makes a wedding night go well!
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to find an excellent catering service for any occasion.

Alex has a gift, not just with food but with people. This reflects in his staff as they seem to enjoy working with one another and are always gracious and kind to who they are serving.
I work in production and we have had events that run daily for weeks at a time, two meals a day for about 60 people. Alex always manages to have a menu that is fresh and original, accessible for different tastes and diets and, of course, above all truly delicious every single time.
But again, as great as his food is it is his personal touch that sets Alex apart. Hire him now before he’s got his own restaurant, show, franchise…

Alex is all around awesomeness when it comes to catering. He worked with me on my date, built a perfect menu to fit my price range, and did a great job. Not to mention that the food was amazing. Highly, highly recommend.

Alex catered our wedding earlier this month and he did a phenomenal job. The food truly exceeded all of my expectations, and I got so many compliments from our guests telling me how delicious everything was. And his entire staff was equally impressive — both professional and friendly.
I feel so lucky to have found Alex, and would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for great food — whether it be for a small dinner party or a wedding. His food and services are top-​notch, all for an extremely affordable price.
p. s. His bbq chicken is ah-​mazing.

We hired Alex for our annual birthday blowout as my husband and son and I share a birthday week. He was fantabulous! His drink server/​helper was also wonderful.
We had 150 guests and buffet style food — focused on a backyard bbq theme but he made it really interesting as well as tasty. I also told him we are healthy eaters, so nothing super-​fatty, PLUS we needed some dishes that kids would readily eat. We gave him our budget and worked here and there with him on the menu to arrive at a reasonably-​priced, absolutely delicious spread, and had plenty of leftovers when done. His server made sure the margaritas and drinks were flowing and everyone had a great time.
Friends at our party hired him after us for multiple events — he never disappoints! Works with you and really knows his stuff.

My husband and I highly recommend Alex catering! My then fiancé had one wish for our wedding and that was NOT to have the typical bla wedding food that he had come to know. We were planning a fun and vibrant Mexican wedding and wanted delicious food. Well, Alex delivered. He is very hard working, professional and down to earth. Not to mention, an amazing chef! He is quick to return phone calls and helps with the planning process all the way. We did have a little hiccup in communication over who was to provide servers the day of but he scrambled to get the help we needed and all was fine. Alex really strives to provide the best food and experience possible and I knew I could trust him to deliver.
The Menu:
The best, Jerry. The Best! Even my über picky Mexican mother and discerning husband were impressed. We even wondered, «A Brit cooking Mexican?» Yes, he can.
Mixed Baby Greens Onion, Tomato, Avocado and Lime Dressing
Seafood Ceviche on Tortilla
Chipolte Lime Cilantro Chicken Salad on Tortilla
Grilled Wagyu «Australian Kobe» Steak Fajitas
Lobster (yes, lobster!)
Spinach Cheese Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce
Grilled Vegetables Peppers, Grilled Squash, Corn, Spinach Medley
Tortillas, Cheese, Scallions, Sour Cream, Roasted Jalapeño Peppers
Fresh Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, Mango salsa & Roasted Tomato Salsa
Spanish Rice
Pinto Beans
Fresh Lime Sour Mix for some awesome Margaritas: D
All for an amazingly affordable price. There were also tons of leftovers. Well, except for the lobster, of course. We received so many compliments on the food.
Thank you Alex Catering!

Alex has been to our house a few times for catered events and cocktail parties… he is professional, so friendly and the meals he puts together are inventive and amazing… he truly enjoys cooking and planning events and is NOT doing this as a side job. he has a true passion and we will be calling him again… and what a bargain!

Alex came to our home and fed us some of his amazing catering, and we were sold.
My now-​husband and I were extremely nonchalant throughout the whole wedding planning process (you can call me an anti-​bridezilla of sorts), so we were extremely fortunate to find vendors like Alex who could take care of the important parts of our wedding reception, the food being most important of all. We randomly decided on having Indian food (and this ended up shaping the whole reception to be Indian-​themed), mentioned we wanted samosas and chicken tikka masala, and hoped for the best.
That’s just what we got from Alex and the rest of the catering staff. We had beautiful, delicious spreads of Indian food, friendly and helpful servers, cleanup of everything after cake had been served, and many troughs of leftovers to take home. The menu was perfect. Alex’s suggestions about the food and logistics of serving were just what we needed – affordable but effective. He and his staff were extremely professional throughout the time we worked with them, and we couldn’t’ve asked for anything more.
Thanks so much for making our wedding reception a success, Alex Catering!

When we found Alex, his prices were by far the best that we had seen after extensive research for wedding caterers. We were a bit put off by this, honestly, but we pursued his services, and we are so happy we did.
Alex met up with us and provided a lot of insight when building our menu, telling us some of his most popular dishes. Beyond that, Alex was very helpful in giving us information to other inexpensive services, such as rental companies and where to purchase alcohol for the event.
One small drawback that we encountered was in the contract: he would provide a full refund if he was for some reason unable to follow through with the catering, but he does not guarantee an alternative cook or company to take over if the day before the wedding he had to back out. He assured us that he does not get sick or cancel, which he stayed true to. My wife is a lawyer, so she is hypersensitive to contract issues, so this is probably not that big of an issue to most, but just a heads up.
That being said, Alex was very professional, and was always on the lookout for us to save money. He even provided many of the things for free that we almost rented from a company for quite a lot of money (e.g., coffee urn, serving dishes), and told us the best places to buy soda, water, and alcohol for the bar.
He gave us a very generous helping of samples well before the wedding so we could pick our favorite dishes. It ended up feeding us for about a week!
Looking back on our wedding, there was no better choice than Alex for the job. He provided the best service imaginable at an astonishingly low price. Besides that, he was also very tuned into any apprehensions we had and would make sure we were totally happy with all decisions that we made.
Go with Alex if you need anything catered; you will get GREAT food at a really affordable price.
My wife and her friends also enjoyed listening to his really fun accent.

When my company recently produced the Race to Erase MS Charity event in Century City, I called good ‘ol Alex to cater the food for the crew. I wasn’t sure if he even remembered me, but he did! He said thanks to my review on Unilocal,his business boomed! *High Five!*
The food was delicious. He only needed to drop it off, but ended up staying to help serve it, and of course probably ended up losing money cuz he was so inexpensive! It’s a great feeling to know good things happen to good people on this here website called Unilocal

Alex is amazing! I seriously don’t even know where to start.
He catered my wedding this April and did a sweet job.
The only direction my husband and I gave him was «UHHM MEXICAN?» and he pulled out this amazing spread. During the planning process he was so easy to work with and was super patient with our millions of random questions.
The food was amazing and still people tell me how great it was. His staff was SO NICE and so professional. The venue where we had our wedding was kind of all over the place, and my husband and I were both busy getting married — so Alex and his staff just kind of took over the place and got everything in order. They totally went above and beyond.
Total hearts! 10,000,000 stars!

He is everything I want to be!
I was planning my goodbye beach picnic last minute & I saw all the recommendations, so I called him up not knowing what to expect. I was greeted by an english accent that told me of the delicious ideas he had for the spread. I wasn’t excited about the picnic until that moment. He offered a very reasonable price too! I paid half after placing the order & half when I’d pick up.
I showed up at his place & he filled my trunk with well packed goodies. There were coolers & boxes full of food. He even gave me serving utensils, place settings, and even trash bags. Everything was good to go.
After my friend & I made a pink and leopard tiki torch haven on the beach we laid out all the food and couldn’t help but begin stuffing ourselves & rearranging the food up until everyone arrived.
There were shrimp skewers, lime chicken skewers, 2 tubs of hummus and tzaziki, homemade pita chips, grilled veggies, 2 types of pasta salad, the softest pita bread ever, fresh large chunk feta, greek salad w/​the lemon dressing in a closed squirt bottle, 2 clamshells of tortilla roll sandwcihes with roast beef, cheddar, bacon, and avocado, and he threw in berries with mint.
We all had no idea how he even made money. It was an incredible deal and the food was all wonderful. Two of my friends & I ate the leftovers for a few days after even. Everyone thought the food was amazing.
He even shops at the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market for local fresh ingredients.
Cute accent, delicious food, professional service, and a very reasonable price. What more can a girl ask for.

Hire this man for your next catered affair. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Alex catered my wedding on June 28^th, and here are some of the comments I’ve overheard or collected since then…
«…the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding» — her mom.
«…such good food; such a hard worker; and so cute!» — my mom.
«…mmmfff…merfff…oh, god, that’s the stuff!» — countless other guests.
«…there was food at my wedding?» — me.
Seriously, though, Alex is a miracle worker. With the extremely limited budget with which we gave him to work, he managed to put before us a spread that people are still raving about, lo these many weeks later. He’s got about a zillion menu options, and while we only got the «cowboy menu» (BBQ chicken and pulled pork, chipotle chicken salad, and the like), I can’t assume any other than that all his offerings are top-​notch.
Alex is a tireless worker, a charming man, and a top-​notch chef. He’ll put together something magical for a less-​than-​magical budget.
Hire this man.

First of all, please note that this is my first review for Unilocal,so I hope I’m doing it the right way.
Alex catered an event for my small nonprofit organization and blew everyone away with both his incredibly tasty food and his amazing personality. In fact, we all liked him so much we met him for drinks a few weeks later.
Alex is so easy to work with, creating a menu that fits your budget but doesn’t skimp on quality. We had a group of about 150 guests and nobody went hungry. The food was super tasty — yummy smokedd salmon, goat cheese quesadillas, skewered chicken, and a Meditarranean buffet to drool over! Hire this guy before he gets too busy to fit you in! He’s the most honest, cool and talented caterer I’ve ever worked with in all my years in the nonprofit world!

I hired Alex to cater my girlfriend’s birthday and it was a smash hit!
I can’t believe how reasonable it was. He came up with the menu, went over it with me on the phone, and just showed up and handled everything.
I can’t tell you what a great find he was. Since then I have recommended him to other people and they are always so happy.
I almost don’t want to post this, for fear he won’t be available when I need him again.
