"We used El Pavo Bakery to cater our recent community event, and they were fantastic from start to finish! Andrew was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. He answered every question quickly, helping us customize the order for our group size, budget, and making pickup smooth and easy. The food itself was amazing and everyone loved it! Our guests kept asking where the food came from, which was such a win for us."
