We had an Engagement Party for our daughter and hired Gourmet Rotisserie Catering for the event. They were fantastic!
The wedding is taking place at a resort 40 miles south of La Paz so we wanted to get the mood going by having Mexican food; glad we did!
The tortillas tasted home made, the presentation was beautiful (Mexican/Tropical), the staff was extremely nice & helpful and the food was prepared on site and delicious. We have some vegetarians in the group so they made  tofu and vegetable fajitas along with  chicken and veggie fajitas. This was done on site in a free standing wok; really added a nice touch to the party with the smell making everyone hungry! We also had cheese enchiladas and a wonderful green salad with pine nuts, feta, cranberries with two homemade dressings to choose from. The guacamole they made was the real deal with no fillers.
Everything turn out perfect. So, if you are planning a party and like freshly cooked food (not re-heated)  I highly recommend this company. I also found their cost to be very reasonable.
Much thanks to Marty, Gaby and the great staff of Gourmet Rotisserie Catering in helping make my daughter’s Engagement Part a smashing success!

Dear Marty and Gaby,

I just wanted to extend a warm “thank you” from me and my husband for the wonderful food last Friday. Everyone had plenty to eat and the food was delicious! I will recommend your catering company to the other Scouters in our area who have similiar events. I know of at least one person who spoke to me after the dinner saying that she would likely contact you about catering her son’s Eagle Scout award ceremony.

In the rush to figure out the total on Friday, I think we failed to pay you for the delivery fee. If so, please let me know so that we can rectify that.

Dear Marty & Gaby,

Words alone cannot express our debt of gratitude for the amazing job you did for our daughter’s wedding! Everything about your business was exceptional! The service was impeccable, the display amazing, and most important, the food was superb! So many guests came up to us wondering who the caterer was? After having reviewed several caterers, we found ourselves tired of hearing the same old things. They would promise to fix about anything we wanted, but, the cooking would be done in their kitchens, and later transported in warming dishes to the venue site. We were so tired of tasting food that tasted like it was warmed up. I did not want to serve my guests food anybody could reheat in a microwave. Therefore, when we came across GR Catering, and learned all of the food is prepared fresh at the venue site, we knew our search was finally over! What we didn’t know, was while the food was cooking, it would smell so exceptional and lead our guests to the verge of salivating.

If ever we need a caterer in the future, it is comforting to know we will not have to go to the lengths of research as we have in the past. If there is anything we could do for you, or if ever you need a recommendation, do not hesitate contacting us. You guys are the best, and we would be happy to spread the word!

Dear Gaby,

I am writing to thank you for the outstanding service you and your great staff provided for our wedding rehearsal dinner on July 9th. Coming in from out of town to host this event could have been trying for us, but you took all the anxiousness away. The event was a huge success for all our guests. The food was wonderful and it was cooked to perfection and presented in a most professional and beautiful way. Your staff, Hector and Paola, could not have been more gracious, friendly, and attentive to each guest. I recommend GR Catering to anyone who is looking to put on a catered event for any occasion – you made the entire event easy for us and exceeded all expectations. Thanks again for all your wonderful support and service.

Dear Marty,

We were sold on you for catering our event, after you offered for us to come to San Diego to try three of the dishes we were planning on having you make for our Birthday “Picnic on the Bluff” in Dana Point.The entree and appetizers you served us were delicious.

We selected you over two other respected gourmet caterers in the area.

Although the set up of the event went smoothly, and the food was attractively displayed, and everyone commented how good it was; the real surprise was the caliber of people you had working at the Picnic. They were friendly, positive, helpful, cheerful, and helped make the party an overwhelming success.

I hope we have the opportunity to use you and Gaby again, or at the very least recommend you to others.

Thank you for making this momentous Birthday Picnic, an even better event than we had hoped.

Dear Marty and Gaby,

I assure you that we will referring your service to others in our community.

Again, thank you for helping us make our reception a very special event.

After meeting with numerous catering companies for our wedding, we decided to go with Gourmet Rotisserie Catering because they were very personable, professional, and had great reviews. We are soooo happy that we did because they went above and beyond with their services and did an exceptional job! Their staff that showed up were all dressed professional and they were very pleasant to all of the guests. We needed a bar last minute and they went out of their way to rent one for us and then brought it to the venue and set it up for our bartender. The food was absolutely delicious and we received nothing but great feedback about how much everyone enjoyed the food. After the wedding, they did not hesitate in helping with the clean up and that was very much appreciated They have been in the business for so long that they know their stuff and they know exactly what is needed and what isn’t. When making the menu, they were able to tailor the menu to whatever we decided…

DearMartyandGaby,

Thank you from the first time we met, you two made David and I feel so at home! You welcomed us like you would a guest at your home as opposed to just another couple. Our event went on without a hitch, everything was perfect. Your services before and during our event were impeccable. You really took care of our needs and we appreciate the dedication and enthusiasm. Our guests loved the food so much, we hear people got seconds and thirds. It was a wonderful time and we are happy you could share that with us.

Thanks a million.

Gaby,

Thank you so much for your help with our wedding rehearsal dinner in October. From the initial contact and tasting to menu planning, and service on a rooftop in Oceanside, GR Catering was nothing short of perfect for this occasion. The food was tasty and served beautifully. Our guests, from New Englanders to native Californians, were rightfully impressed with the fresh, tasty and filling menu choices.

I wish you well!

I meant to call you to tell you how wonderful the food was and how nice Edna and Javier were. I liked Chuck our bartender too. You assured me that they would handle everything and they did. I really liked that the menu listed, elegantly on the banquet table.

Gaby,

Please note that our event today was very successful and enjoyed by all. We commend Javier, the chef, for an outstanding job!

Everything was cooked on time, the presentation was well set up and Javier’s service was impeccable. He handled all of the requests, served the dessert and ensured that everything went well and it did. He is a one-man team and should be recognized for the outstanding representation he provides your company. We will certainly request him for future events.

Thank you.

Dear Gaby,

It was indeed a pleasure to work with GRCatering for the special 50th Jubilee celebration that we had on June 23, 2007. The food arrived right on time, well heated, nicely prepared and very delicious! The driver was very pleasant and helpful in delivering the food. We will certainly consider you for future events at Joan of Arc Residence.

Thank you for your great service! Peace.

Man I’ve been pooped with all we were doing for the party lately and so I forgot to write you a thank you for your and Martys fabulous participation in our event. We are still accepting compliments for everything regarding the party. I myself loved the displays and the shrimp. I never had time for a sandwich but my husband enjoyed a couple. Your staff was on the wonderful side, nice job in selecting warm persons. I asked the shrimp girl to visit my husband and pointed him out and she was so friendly about it. Funny he had just told me don’t get me a couple more get me a bucket full and within minutes the shrimp girl rounded the corner with a full / hot tray of shrimp. (Perfect timing) It seemed they were constantly making their rounds and with a smile. The designing and decorating role you suggested, the linens and everything was spectacular. Thank you for the advice. We will highly recommend your services to anyone. A big thank you from me personally because I was the one who was enthusiastic about GR here and so you backed me up 100%. Warm Hugs and thank yous from me.
