STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM THIS SCAM OF A BUSINESS!!! They arrived over an hour late to our party. They only gave us 1 hour of service when they contracted with us for 3 hours of service. Give your money to actual hard working people who deserve it. Not these people. Carlos is so unprofessional. You basically have to beg to get an invoice. GET YOUR INVOICE. Do not let him try to tell you he doesn't provide invoices. They lost our business from here on out. Never again will they get a penny from us.

Very rude lady I’m assuming she was the owner. I honestly felt like they did not want to help me at all …. Will definitely not be returning here..

Not sure why the guy left a bad comment the guys that catered ( forgot their names) us did a great job arrived 20 min before! And Amazing tacos, recommend for catering! Had the event for 100 people! Will definitely book for my next event!
Let me start off by saying I rarely every write a review. However, the level of professionalism that I just got was so unprofessional I felt that I needed to share. I would also state that I have used "eltaco" several other times in the past, as recent as, September 18th, 2021! And at that time the service was great. Quickly how things change. My wife has been texting back and forth with Carlos and we asked to lock in our date. He stated to Zelle or Venmo him $200 to hold the date. Since this was new to us, I decided to text Carlos myself. Here is my text message: "Hi Carlos, you have been dealing with my wife on doing catering for our son graduation for June 18th. I tried calling you yesterday but your mail box is full. My wife was saying we had to do a deposit of $200 to reserve the date via zelle or venmo, which is like cash. Is there a contract or something that we sign showing full amount, deposit, cancelation terms, etc? Not that we don't trust you but we have used you four other times now and never did we have to put a deposit down. I just want to be sure all parties are protected so there is no ambiguity. If it easier, call me so we can discuss. Happy Friday! " based off that text message I got a call from Carlos with the worst attitude I have every heard saying everyone keeps screwing him over and cancel at the last min. And everyone is trying to find a way not to pay him. After 5 mins of listening to him, I ask if I can speak. I explained that the $200 is no big deal. However, if he is requesting Zelle or Venmo (which is like cash) 63 days in advance, you would think it would be best business practices to have some type of contract stipulating the full price, deposit amount, cancelation terms, etc. Carlos goes off on a rant saying no one has every question him before. I can't imagine anyone sending cash with no sort of terms and condition put in place. Either way, my experience was not a good one and thought I would share.
We used El Taco for a high school awards banquet. Their food is great and they have a full spread of multiple salsas, guacamole, and other toppings. They bring everything (plates, napkins, etc) which is really convenient.

I will be transparent as possible. My family and I booked their catering service for January 1, 2022. My mother had contacted them on December 30, 2021 to verify and they confirmed that they would be providing their services on January 1, 2022.To understand the bigger picture, this party we were having was for our Little sister who was turning Six Years Old! Everyone who were attending were family members and we were counting on El Taco Catering Service to feed our guest.On the day of the party, not only were they an hour late, but they canceled on us!!!! While on the call with One of the owners, Carlos, we heard kids screaming and chattering in the background. We automatically knew what was going on. We were SCAMMED!!!! They threw away our reservation for a bigger party!!NEVER EVER, in a Billion Years, EVER use El Taco Catering service!!!! This business does not care about their clients, they only care about who can provides them with more $$$.If you want to be Scammed…. And had to compromise by ordering pizza like us, then I highly recommend you call them!This business is dirty, not legitimate, and Scammers!
I found this business online. I spoke with Carlos on the phone over a week before the event. He said he was available for the day and time (3pm-6pm) we needed. He said to text the number and he would detail everything, letting me know they come 30 min prior to set up. I texted him the morning before the event to confirm for the date, location, and time just to make sure everything was set in place. He responded yes. The following day of the event, none showed up at set up time and so I called to make sure someone was coming and he texted me the location and asked for the city (which I already gave him). He then said give him 30 minutes, his brother-in-law is on the way. Gave me his brothers number. I asked if didn’t actually schedule the event and that is why this happened. He said yes ??. I reiterated to him that I confirmed yesterday, and he said they’re getting ready to leave. They arrived to to location around 4pm (an hour and a half late) and we let them know because of the timing of the party we would not be charged for the hour and half you didn’t show up (to no fault of our own). Otherwise we wouldn’t use the service. The brother-in-law said let me check with Carlos and his helper said he’d try and get it to work out because he knew we did nothing wrong and it was Carlos’ fault as to why the service was NOT booked properly, there on time and prepared. The brother-in-law and Carlos did not agree to our terms. He also tried to say I lied and never gave him the address when he spoke with one of the men the party was for but I had the text messages to prove it.The team was very unprofessional. They were not polite, lacked communication, unprepared, and didn’t care about the customers.I would HIGHLY recommend going with another company. As their website details different pricing than what he offered me, other businesses offer the same amount of food and sides, you’ll be respected and valued as a customer. You will receive service which is most important. The guests waited for food for over an hour and watched them leave because of their pride.

Best tacos in town. Come out. You won’t regret it
We hired them for my daughters Quinceniera, served 200+ guests! By far the most best service! They provided such great service, and had such a big variety of tacos, plus quesadillas, salsas,rice, and beans! They also provided all the plates napkins, and utensils! We were so pleased, thank you so much! Definitely 5 STARS
