Martha is a pleasure to work with. She understood the organization needs. She is even helping for proper meeting location.

What more can I say but perfect in every way. Â Chef Arturo was personable as well as preparing an excellent meal, wife Martha is a jewel and the staff couldn't have been better. Â I gave an 80th birthday party with about 65-70 people in Berkeley. Â They drove from Sacramento through unusually bad traffic. Â They arrived calm and set right to work. Â Everyone praised them for the wonderful food and great service. Â Â When deciding what I wanted for the party, they were very helpful and never pushy. Â You won't be disappointed!! More...

Tonight I had the wonderful opportunity to DJ for Clear Capital! As a DJ I get to try catering from all over the Sacramento area. What I can tell you is the food I had the pleasure of enjoying and took home tonight is purely amazing. It makes me feel as if I need to learn to cook, or just hire Arturo to come over 5 nights a week! You deserve 10 stars! Can't wait to see you and taste your food again soon! More...

I had the pleasure of working with Martha and Arturo for a private company event I was hosting. I wanted to entice my crew with something special over their hard work and I heard about the excellent cuisine of Taste for the Senses. Let's just say I was totally blown away with the excellence and taste of Arturo's cuisine. This is one situation where the namesake truly fits the ideology of the business. The cuisine really was a taste for the senses! Arturo and Martha humbly invited me and a guest into their home and presented us with various dishes to appease my guests. I was so excited and amazed by everything I tried but had to select a few of my favorites for the event. On the date of the event Taste for the Senses came early and began setting up at the venue. The team was extremely friendly and professional creating the perfect atmosphere. From the second the guests walked into the venue you can see the smiles and joy that appeared on their faces. The guests were presented with delectable appetizers on silver platters with various arrayments of Mediterranean cuisine. The crab cakes were my absolute favorite! Chef also prepares an exquisite ceviche served in martini glasses paired with a corn tortilla chip. The team is prepared to accommodate your every need even provide an excellent bartending service by Matthew. For beverages Chef Arturo prepares this fantastic  non-alcoholic Agua Fresca dressed with hints of lime, mint, and sweet lemon, absolutely perfect for all ages and makes for an excellent mixer as well.  The Aztec salad is a beautiful blend of fresh vegetables, black bean, corn, and an absolutely delicious dressing to boot. For the main course chef prepares a slow grilled Tri-tip which the multiple flavors immediately amaze your pallet upon the first bite. This dish is comparable to any excellent steakhouse, something I would imagine ordering at Morton's even. Chef Arturo tops off this beautiful dish with a light pesto sauce to amplify the flavor even more if at all possible. If Tri-tip isn't your preface chef also serves a wonderful flame grilled chicken. After the meal the team was prompt in clearing dishes without disturbing the atmosphere of the event. They cleaned the house and immediately began preparing a coffee and mixed arrayments of teas for everyone. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Taste for the Senses. From planning to execution they prepared an excellent experience and the flawless nature of their team amazed myself and my guests. I am certain my crew will be looking forward to the next time I plan an event with Taste for the Senses as you cannot find a better culinary experience that caters. More...

Martha and Arturo knocked our wedding out of the park. From the start, they were friendly and professional. Once we met them and tasted their delicious food, we knew we were in good hands. Even though I knew we had nothing to worry about, we still couldn't have anticipated just how exceptional the food and service was at our wedding. The guests loved everything and kept commenting about how many options there were and how great it all was (we did buffet style rather than sit-down). The service was on point the whole night. There was even a snafu with the rentals (it was on our part...the coffee cups never got delivered and we didn't realize it until the middle of the reception), and next thing I knew Martha appeared with some nice looking disposable cups from the store to save the day! They went above and beyond and anyone who works with them will be lucky to have such a caring team involved with their event. More...

Martha and Arturo's company, Taste for the Senses, provided the catering for our wedding in May of 2014 (I know, it took me FAR too long to write a review! ) I can not begin to describe the amazing service they gave our guests! The food was beyond delicious - In fact, I still get compliments on how wonderful their set up was and how great their food tasted (best vegetarian tamales EVER). Several people have told me it's the best wedding food they've ever had and I would have to agree! Not only were Martha, Arturo, and the rest of their staff so friendly and professional, but they really went above and beyond for our wedding ( I do not have enough space here to document all the ways, outside of catering, they actually helped on our wedding day). There were several times when our wedding planner completely dropped the ball and things could have ended in absolute disaster but Martha and Arturo were right there to pick up the slack so that our guests were not aware of any issues the day of our event. Taste for the Senses truly made our day special for us and for that, we are forever grateful. You can tell that Arturo LOVES what he does and is passionate about making every event he caters a special one. The thing that really stood out to me, and touched my heart, is that Arturo and Martha brought my parents some of their delicious food a few days after the wedding when they learned that my parents didn't get to eat because they were busy holding things together at the wedding during dinner. They absolutely did not have to do that for us - it was amazing. They both are wonderful people and I would definitely recommend them for any event, especially a wedding (in fact, I try to every chance I get!) More...

I hired Taste for the Senses "Chef Arturo and Martha" for an employee appreciation event we hold at work each year. Â This year the theme was a "fiesta" so who better to provide the catering? Â With the goal of feeding upwards of 650 people in a 2-1/2 hour span, they had quite a challenge.From the moment I met them, Chef Arturo and Martha impressed me with their passion for their work, their interest in the project, the crafting of the menu and how the event would flow. Â Their attention to detail during the planning was highlighted by their good communications and prompt responses to questions.Since our event was in a downtown SF high rise building (on the patio) Martha worked with the SFFD to get all the necessary permits and also provided us with all required insurance. Â They also went so far as to rent space in a local kitchen so that they could ensure being at the event site on time...unfortunately, they were a little late because of the Salesforce convention which clogged up all downtown SF streets that day. Â But nevertheless, they were only a few minutes behind at the start time of the event as the employees lined up in anticipation.I don't recall how the staff were dressed but the event was very casual and so formal appearances were not of concern. Â Of course Chef Arturo is in his chef's outfit as he oversees the food stations.Our event was a huge success thanks in a great way to Chef Arturo and Martha. Â Everyone raved about the food. Â From the tamales to the tacos, the salads and the sopes, the menu was fresh, colorful and creative, providing a good selection for both the carnivores and vegetarians, as well as those interested in healthy eating.I would not hesitate to recommend Chef Arturo and Martha for your event.

I had the best experience with Chef Arturo, his wife Martha, and their wonderful staff. We used their catering services for a very elegant, upscale wedding event last month and they came through for us. ..BIG TIME!!! Their hand made soaps are outstanding and our guests had a great time watching them prepared fresh during cocktail hour. The food was prepared onsite and was so fresh and colorful. The staff came dressed professional and really took care of the guests. Dinner service was quick and the meal was outstanding. I will be recommending this business to my future clients. Great job.
