My husband and I dined at Chef Pacos for my birthday dinner. It was a wonderful experience. All of the staff were welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our waitress was well informed about the menu and made the experience even more special. The food is absolutely amazing! You will not be disappointed!! Can’t wait to dine here again!!

I visited this new restaurant for my birthday dinner. From the moment we walked in, the staff made the night feel truly special. They were unbelievably attentive while checking in just enough to make sure we had everything we needed.
The food was amazing. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. You can really tell the chef puts care and creativity into every plate! I am so excited to go back 🙂

Chef Paco’s food is on a different level! Everything is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and made with real love. The presentation is beautiful every time, and you can tell how much passion goes into every dish. Ellie and her team deserves credit too. They’re organized, kind, and always bring great energy.

Chef Paco, Bibi and staff were absolutely incredible. My husband and I got married this past weekend at Swan Lake Overlook and were blown away by the delicious food for not only are wedding, but rehearsal dinner as well. We were impressed when we had our tasting and knew we had to have Chef Paco. Highly Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Chef Paco and his team! We absolutely loved working with Bibi and she was so responsive and easy to communicate with! She really took her time to make sure she knew what we wanted and managed the event so well! We used them for our wedding and our rehearsal dinner at 27 on Park. The food was absolutely amazing and all our guests raved about it!! Highly highly recommend!!

My Wife and I got married at Swan Lake Overlook on November 10, 2024, and Chef Paco’s catered both the Rehearsal dinner and the reception. There’s a funny story about why they ended up doing both, but it’s not relevant here. We had a total of 115 people in attendance, and 5 extra meals for the vendors.
We ultimately picked Chef Paco because, of the three caterers we sampled, they were not only the best but they gave us more than we even asked for. There were a few dishes (one of which ended up as an appetizer at the wedding) that the chef felt we needed to try because they were particularly good but we hadn’t asked for them, so he made them anyway and let us try them for no extra charge.
For the rehearsal dinner (which my parents organized with Chef Paco) we had barbecue chicken and pork, and TBH I don’t remember what else my parents ordered because the barbecue was so good. Their spicy barbecue sauce is a real winner, I wish I had more of it.
For the wedding we got the following:
Grilled Shrimp Chimichurri
Classic Bruschetta
Mini Brie Tartlets
Raspberry Salad
Pan Seared Scottish Salmon
Creamy Parmesan Basil Chicken
Loaded Mashed Potatoes
Roasted Vegetables
An Ice Cream Bar
I hate salad, I never eat it, and the fact that I cleared that plate should really say something- my wife and I have been trying to re-create that salad ever since we tried it at the tasting and have not been successful so far. The salmon and chicken were both excellent, I didn’t hear any complaints from any of our guests. Swan Lake doesn’t have a kitchen, so we were worried that the chicken or salmon may have ended up dry as they often do when they sit before weddings- that didn’t happen at all, the main courses were absolutely perfect. The mashed potatoes were great, BUT there was one mix-up there- we had originally wanted them loaded, but they just made the garlic mashed potatoes. Which we didn’t mind because they were really good, and nobody else even knew they were missing out. I think of everything our least favorite were the roasted vegetables, they weren’t as good as I’d have liked, but with everything else being as good as it was I didn’t care and I don’t think anyone else did, either.
The appetizers were great too, I didn’t hear a single complaint about them.
The team was great to work with too; Bibi is really friendly and did a great job. She was generally quick to respond to emails and put up with us making multiple changes as we argued with my in-laws about what should and shouldn’t be had.
I’d attach pictures but I don’t think anyone took any because we were too busy eating the food.

Chef Paco and his team/family really know what they’re doing. For what we got, the money was well worth it. They can be a little hard to get in touch with, but rest assured that they’ve got you covered. Their food, rehearsal and wedding day, were absolutely phenomenal and wish I could eat like that everyday. I’d be eating like a queen for the rest of my life. Chef Paco and BiBi were very flexible, honest, and have you exactly what you were expecting. They are very genuine and hard working people who show how much they love what they do by the taste of their food. I recommend Chef Paco for any and all catering needs.

Chef Paco’s food is to die for! And whats better is the quality you taste and experience at the tasting, is the same you can expect when he is cooking for 150+. I ended up loving Paco’s food and pricing so much that I booked him for BOTH my rehearsal dinner as well as my wedding. I look forward to working with him and Bibi again and cannot thank them enough for their amazing menu and ability to work within my budget.
