Abi is the best! My fiancé and I discovered Abi's Café after reading a news article about Abi's choice to hire a panhandler who had come in asking for food. With covert intentions of evaluating the food as a wedding reception catering possibility, we visited the café for a date night, and were treated to first class service. Abi is incredibly friendly, offered phenomenal service, and all the food was delicious (I especially recommend the tamales and pupusas!). Abi had a large variety of vegetarian options for my fiancé, and plenty of "meatitarian" choices for me.
Being a small restaurant, we weren't sure if Abi would be able/willing to take on our catering job for 200+ guests, but at the end of our meal when we "made the ask," she assured us that between her and her aunt (who also owns a restaurant nearby), they share staff for events and so are able to do large catering jobs. We came back a couple weeks later for a food-tasting of what she'd be preparing for our guests, and were again very happy with the deliciousness factor (I've been to too many weddings with bland food, and I didn't want mine falling into that category). She gave us a very reasonable quote, and we officially hired her.
Abi and I worked out a preliminary buffet menu, and she didn't bat an eye when our requirements kept changing (as we added/removed guests, adjusted the number of vegetarians/meatitarians we were expecting, and so on). The day of the wedding, Abi closed her restaurant for the day so she could focus entirely on us. She and her staff were professional, efficient, and dealt with anything and everything that came up. And, over and over we heard unsolicited comments from guests about how yummy the food was. Basically, we can't say enough good things about Abi.
PS, to Abi, if you're reading this: THANK YOU for all you did to make our day run so smoothly! You were the best.
