The atmosphere is marked by a sincere attentiveness that extends beyond the kitchen, where personalized touches shape each event to fit the people it celebrates. From the earliest planning stages to the attentive arrival and setup, there’s a sense of reliability and ease that lets hosts and guests alike focus on what really matters.
While the flavors draw from rich culinary traditions that feel like a comforting nod to home, the experience is never simply about the food alone.

This is our 4th time catering with Rafael, and all those 4 occasions nothing but perfection from the food to their superb customer service. Can't wait to plan another event so we have a reason to have our food catered by Rafael again.

Best food always reminds back home. Best customer service especially a boy in the Frond desk. I forgot to ask his name. Fair price and worth the try every time. Thank you so much and keep up the good work. All the best for the new shop.

Rafaels catered our wedding in Oakland Aug2022. Frankie was so helpful and communicative from start to finish. The whole process was very smooth, from tasting dishes, setting up contracts, getting food delivered, and then cleaned up at the end of the event. I will say that the food at the event was MUCH better than what we had for our food tasting-- so if you liked the tasting just know it's 10x better when it's served hot in a chafing dish! Guests were so impressed by the food, especially those who had never seen Lechon before :) Lastly - absolutely cannot beat the prices. Amazing food, professional service... it's all there. Thank you to the chef, to Frankie, and to their great team! (will add photos when we get them back from our wedding!)

Catered Rafael's for the first time for a going away event. Hands down the best catering my family and I have had. Frankie was super accommodating in making a few of the dishes we had requested vegetarian. The menudo, roasted chicken, and pancit were delicious and my family and I cannot wait to continue supporting this local gem.

Rafael's catered our baby shower and were absolutely fantastic! From the inquiry stages to the day of, Frankie was an excellent communicator and made the entire process clear and smooth. I did the International Menu for 50 guests with some modifications and received so many compliments from family about how delicious all the food was! Their team arrived on time to our venue to set up and when they returned for cleanup, they made it such a breeze. Will definitely be a returning client! Highly recommend

I recently got married and Rafael's did the catering. It was such an easy process and the food was amazing! Will definitely be hiring them again!

We had a wonderful experience with Rafael's Catering from beginning to end...from planning the menu to the taste testing to the delivery and set up of the food. Our quinceañera was perfect thanks to Frankie, plus the food was delicious.
