The food was quite good — the salmon in particular was excellent — but unfortunately the service and follow-up fell far short of what we expected, which is why this is just two stars.
There were multiple avoidable missteps throughout our event, including staff admonishing guests at the buffet, and wine we had specifically purchased for the event being held back without our instruction. These were especially frustrating given that we had included a substantial (required) gratuity in advance.
If you hire them: make sure you have extra clear service instructions on everything and another vendor managing them.
What ultimately left the worst impression, though, was how our concerns were handled afterward. Rather than acknowledging some pretty clear service failures, the response felt surprisingly dismissive and defensive. We eventually received a modest credit.
Good food matters, and they deserve credit for that. But catering is also about service, hospitality and how problems are handled when things don't go as planned. On those fronts, our experience was deeply disappointing.

LOVE every opportunity to hire Pecado Bueno for catering! They are professional, excellent communicators, food is a crowd pleaser, quantity and quality of food received always makes us and our guests happy.
We catered a graduation party for our daughter this June. We had 35 people, and they delivered the taco bar with various proteins (chicken, carnitas, veggie), chips, guacamole, and a few extras we ordered: fruit platter, veggie skewers. There were a few standout items: the guacamole had just the right flavor, the mango salsa was gone long before the regular pico de gallo, and the carnitas was also very tasty.
In ordering and planning, they were easy to work with, reasonably priced, and super efficient with setup. I have no complaints whatsoever, and lots of praise for a great job.

Delicious and convenient catering. Our food arrived promptly, and was set up without a hitch. Our guests loved the variety and quality of the meal, and loved going back for more. Many asked for the name and contact of the caterer so that they could hire them for their next party. We loved the leftovers too!
