Argentine BBQ Catering Los Angeles & Orange County

Argentine BBQ Catering in Los Angeles & Orange County

Argentine BBQ catering in Los Angeles should feel like more than dinner. It should smell like fire, look generous, move slowly, and make people stop talking for a second when the meat hits the table.

That is the idea behind our asado catering at Pablo Kim’s Chimichurri. We bring a premium Argentine-style barbecue experience to private events across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and select parts of San Bernardino and Riverside County.

We cook the meats on site, manage the fire, serve the food with care, and bring the chimichurri that ties the whole meal together.

What Is Argentine Asado?

Asado is the Argentine way of gathering around fire, meat, time, and people.

It is not rushed barbecue. It is not just grilled steak. It is a slower style of cooking where meats are cooked over fire, usually with simple seasoning, so the quality of the meat and the technique matter.

The food comes out in stages. People eat, talk, wait, go back for more, and keep eating. That rhythm is part of the point.

For an event, that matters. The grill becomes part of the atmosphere. Guests smell the fire before they eat. They see the meats cooking. They know something real is happening.

Argentine BBQ Catering for Los Angeles Events

We provide Argentine barbecue catering for events across Los Angeles County and Orange County, with select service available in parts of San Bernardino and Riverside County.

This works especially well for:

  • Weddings
  • Rehearsal dinners
  • Milestone birthdays
  • Corporate events
  • Private backyard dinners
  • Family celebrations
  • Holiday gatherings
  • Special events where the food needs to carry the night

Our on-site asado catering is designed for events of 30 to 300 guests. Every event is quoted based on guest count, menu choices, location, timing, staffing, and event needs.

We serve areas including Los Angeles, Pasadena, Glendale, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Anaheim, Irvine, Fullerton, Placentia, and surrounding communities.

What We Bring

For on-site Argentine BBQ catering, we bring the cooking setup, prep setup, grills, fire management, food, and service equipment needed for the catering scope we agree on.

The meats are cooked on site. That is important. The fire, timing, aroma, and carving are part of the experience.

Some sides may be prepared ahead for quality and timing, but the main event is the grill.

Guest seating, tables, chairs, tablecloths, and venue-related items are provided by the client unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Menu Items Guests Can Choose From

Each event menu is built based on the package and cuts selected. Not every event includes every item, but these are the kinds of Argentine barbecue items we like to build around:

Grilled Meats

  • Asado — Argentine-style short ribs, rich and deeply satisfying
  • Vacío — flap steak, a classic asado cut with great texture
  • Entraña — skirt steak, flavorful, tender, and a crowd favorite
  • Chorizo — grilled Argentine-style sausage, usually one of the first things people reach for

Sides and Accompaniments

  • Fresh mixta salad
  • Korean slaw
  • Cream corn
  • Bread
  • Grilled vegetables
  • Sautéed mushrooms

The goal is balance. The meats are rich. The sides should give contrast, freshness, texture, and something for guests who want a lighter plate.

Why Chimichurri Matters

Chimichurri is not an afterthought here.

In Argentine barbecue, chimichurri helps cut through the richness of the meat. It brings herbs, garlic, vinegar, oil, and brightness to a plate that would otherwise be all smoke and fat.

Our chimichurri is fresh, refrigerated, small-batch, and made in Southern California. We make Original, Mild, and Spicy versions, plus avocado oil options for people who want that choice.

You can also shop our chimichurri online if you want jars for your own grill, weeknight steaks, vegetables, sandwiches, or leftovers the next day.

Premium Live-Fire Catering, Not Drop-Off BBQ

This is not a tray of food dropped at the door.

Our premium on-site asado is for hosts who want food to become part of the event itself. Guests watch the grill. They smell the fire. They see the cuts being handled and served. The meal has movement.

That is why this format works so well for weddings, birthdays, corporate events, and private parties where you want people to remember the food.

We can serve buffet style, and server options may be available depending on the event size and service plan.

How the Experience Usually Works

Every event is different, but the general flow looks like this:

  1. You tell us about the event, guest count, location, timing, and what kind of meal you want.
  2. We suggest a menu direction based on the event style and number of guests.
  3. We prepare a custom quote.
  4. Once booked, we confirm the final menu, timing, and guest count before the event.
  5. On the event day, we arrive early enough to set up, prep, build the fire, and cook on site.
  6. Guests eat while the food is served fresh from the grill.

For larger events, we may need several hours on site before food service begins. Live-fire cooking takes planning. That is part of why it tastes the way it does.

Good Events for Argentine Asado Catering

Argentine asado catering works best when people have time to enjoy the meal.

It fits weddings where the couple wants something warmer than standard banquet food. It fits corporate events where the food needs to feel generous, not generic. It fits birthdays where the host wants the meal to be the center of the party.

It also works well for backyard events, family reunions, rehearsal dinners, and celebrations where people want to eat slowly and keep coming back to the table.

Service Area

We serve Los Angeles County and Orange County, with select events in nearby parts of San Bernardino and Riverside County.

Travel, timing, venue access, fire restrictions, parking, and setup space all matter. Some locations may require extra planning or travel charges.

If your venue has rules around open flames, charcoal, gas, smoke, or outdoor cooking, it is best to check early. Live-fire catering needs venue approval.

Pricing

Our Argentine BBQ catering is quote-based.

Pricing depends on:

  • Guest count
  • Menu selections
  • Number of meats and sides
  • Event location
  • Service style
  • Staffing needs
  • Setup requirements
  • Timing
  • Travel
  • Any rentals or upgrades requested

The best way to get accurate pricing is to send the event details first. We would rather quote honestly than throw out a number that does not match the event.
