Don't be fooled - Dos Hermanos Catering appears to be just a mysterious storefront situated on the corner of Inglewood and Culver Boulevard in Culver City. It is easy to miss. It is next to the Guadalahara Bakery and Tacomiendo Restaurant, and parking in their wafer-thin (compact?) sized parking spaces is quite a trick. Inside the layout is simple - the front room (tiny storefront) is the office which doubles as paper goods storage which leads to a large (very clean) kitchen with what else but two brother cooking!

My wife and I ordered from them recently when we were catering a Sunday celebration for 35 people including lots of kids. We considered having the get-together at one of the (many) surrounding restaurants but couldn't get beyond the price tag (average $17-24 per person including tax and gratuity) which was about $700 for the whole affair. Granted we needed to invest in a few things, like a (30-40 cup) coffee maker, some basic chaffing dishes and other supplies, but it proved to be well worth the effort since we will probably host another shin-dig or two over the coming years.

We ordered the Birria and the Chicken Fajitas; with that came an ample supply of corn tortillas, a gigantic freshly-made salad (I watched them prepare it when I came a little early to pick it all up), their own special salad dressign (creamy italian) rice, and beans. All of this for $135! That's $3.80 per person!

Now this isn't confirmed, but if I were to guess, I would say the dos hermanos are from the Jalisco area of Mexico (not Spain as some websites imply). Which explains the delicious almost cassoulette-style Chicken Fajita and melt-in-your-mouth quality of the Birria de Res.
