y had great food but also took pride in the set-up. We decided to go with the traditional Mexican menu- it did not disappoint! Everything tasted amazing! The presentation was beautiful, and the food was hot and fresh. Karla was also great about communicating needs throughout the process and sticking within our budget. She offered her advice based on what we were looking for which was much appreciated. Her staff was super friendly too! Several of our guests said that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding!
