Introduction: LILO’S KITCHEN… MOBILE FOOD CATERING Women of color owned, family owned & ran catering & vending small business. Lilo’s Kitchen was founded in September 2020 by owners Norma and Leslie. We have catered for large corporate companies such as Google, Gilead, Uber, etc as well as some of the largest festivals including Foodieland, Treasure Fest, county fairs, etc. Private events are our fav though! Weddings, rehearsal dinners, bdays, divorce parties, engagement parties, you name if, we have done it! We offer mobile catering with our food truck. We also do vending events so let us know about your next festival/event! Who is Lilo you may ask? Besides being undeniably cute, he is owner Leslie’s son. He is the real boss! We specialized in Mexican food but specialize in beef birria aka shredded beef that has been slow cooked in flavorful broth, then shredded. We are known for our Beef Birria dishes: quesabirria tacos with consomé, ramen birria, birria grilled cheese, birria pizza,and much more! As a Latina family, we regularly get together and one thing that you can always count on is FOOD! Lots of it! One day, auntie Norma decided to make Birria Tacos with consome and BOOM… that was the beginning of something great. Owner, Leslie Munoz knew we had to share this amazing dish with everyone. We humbly started from auntie’s small kitchen and a Black and Decker grill. Thanks to our loyal customers, we quickly worked our way up in three short months to owning & operating a food truck. We started with one goal in mind: to share true authentic, homemade Latin American food with everyone, not just family. Born in Guatemala and married to her Mexican husband for over 30 years, owner Norma is a self-taught home chef who is a genius in the kitchen. She geniously mixes the perfect amount of spices and flavor into every recipe she makes. Bay Area native with strong Guatemalan roots, co-owner Leslie wears multiple hats: Manager, Accountant, HR, Marketing Manager, etc. We are grateful and humbled you are here, and we can't wait to share our kitchen with you!

The food was fantastic at our wedding! We heard great things from everyone who attended. They showed up early, served food efficiently (we had around 80 guests), and event coordinated their exit so that it wouldn’t interrupt the reception timeline. I have nothing but positive things to say! Highly recommend.

Amazing! 10/10 We used to get catering from restaurants but the food would get cold and not be as good after about an hour. Decided to try the food truck and I’ll never go back! The food was fresh, delicious and everyone loved it. Honestly the spectacle of having a food truck at a house party was crazy! I would 100% recommend them and will def book again
