User Reviews for a casa

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We used A Casa Foods for our somewhat-impromptu engagement party and it was a ranging success. Melissa came over before the party and prepared everything, and was very helpful with all the setup so that we could get ourselves ready. People raved about all the food and proclaimed the sangria "the best they've ever had." We were looking for a Latin-themed cocktail party, and this is Latin food with an upscale edge-- delicious and beautifully presented. We hope to use her again for our rehearsal dinner. Delicious!

Pros: Great food, service that goes the extra mile, unique Latin-themed service

Cons: none!

A friend of mine (who's company had used them for a cocktail reception) recommended a casa to me and I can't tell you what an amazing experience it was! Melissa, the owner, made it SO easy and so fun -- I didn't lift a finger and my guests are still thanking me! It was intimate, fun and most importantly, delicious. All executed with great ease and professionalism. I will use a casa again and again. And again!

Pros: Delicious food and great staff.

Cons: can't think of any!

My wedding guests could not stop raving about the food. A Casa made delicious Latin food, including empanadas, spicy ribs, and arroyo con pollo. The drinks including Sangria and Margaritas were divine. A Casa is a great alternative to the traditional wedding reception spread-- it is spicy, fun, and delicious. The presentation was also glorious! I highly recommend A Casa for weddings-- it is something you and your guests will remember. KF

Acasa is willing to work within your budget to provide wonderful menus - tasty fare that couldn't be more different than your typical caterer. The empanadas are to die for as is the sangria...I highly recommend!

Pros: Flexibility, empanadas, friendly staff

Cons: None that I can think of

I have used A casa for many events and have been thrilled with their food and service every time. Their food is always of the highest quality and beautifully presented. They helped me throw a cocktail party and everyone commented on how fabulous the food was. I also had a small dinner party thrown by a casa and am still making the dishes that we had for dinner. I cannot recommend them enough!

A Casa is simply fabulous. Melissa, A Casa's chef, is attentive to detail, original, creative and knows how to put together the right combination of flavors and textures. I would strongly recommend A Casa for any type of event!

I highly reccomend this catering company. The service is outstanding and the food is absolutely delicious. This is a great alternative to the usual catering companies. I have found (as a repeat client) it is more than catering. Melissa Fox turns your house, or any rented space, into a fun, spicy environment with great music and reliable service. The presentation is beautiful and every detail is seen to. It is the perfect, unique alternative for any event. I find I call Melissa when I am having a dinner or get together to be fully relaxed. The additional bonus is Melissa is great with guests and makes everyone feel welcome and at home. A must taste!!!

Pros: All pros really

ACasa catered our benefit last year and were great - the inventive, delicious hors d'oeuvres were a total hit and the staff top-notch. One of the biggest pluses of ACasa is the director/chef Melissa, who manages to run the show effortlessly, professionally and with tremendous sunshiny flair. You'll be in great hands.

Delicious food -- the empanadas are amazing! Melissa is a joy to work with - what I most enjoyed was joining her in the kitchen before my guests arrived - it's a great way to learn some cooking basics and a few tricks of the trade in a relaxed, fun way. I would highly recommend A Casa.
