David was great. Arrived early and made some great tacos. Would use this company again.
The Taco Guy Catering is the best!!! Celebrated my mom’s 90th birthday and Jose was so awesome! On time, quick, super nice, food was delicious and quick clean up and he did it all in this brutal heat! And your prices beat everyone else we considered….Thank you for your services.
Javier catered our event at Los Alamitos, CA and did and excellent job! Would recommend to all my nearby businesses/friends!
I strongly advise against hiring this company unless you’re prepared to deal with unprofessionalism, poor customer service, and misleading pricing practices. A family member previously used this business for an event. While the food was passable, the meat was excessively greasy, and both the rice and beans were served cold due to the company not providing proper food warmers during catering.
Despite the mediocre quality, I decided to consider them for an upcoming event purely out of convenience and my own lack of time to research other vendors. Their reservation process is entirely online, which I followed by submitting multiple requests. However, no one ever contacted me to confirm. I eventually had to follow up myself and was repeatedly connected with an employee named Fernando.
Unfortunately, Fernando — who claims to be a supervisor — was consistently rude and dismissive. Though he speaks in a calm tone, his demeanor is noticeably sarcastic and unprofessional. He gave the impression that he had no interest in helping or resolving any issues. After submitting a reservation well in advance, I was later told the date was unavailable, despite others at the company informing me that it was, in fact, open.
To make matters worse, the pricing listed online does not match what you’re ultimately charged. There are undisclosed fees based on your payment method, and you’re unlikely to receive a detailed receipt unless you specifically request one — and even that may come with an added charge.
I sincerely hope the owner, Sergio, reads this review and considers taking appropriate action to improve the company’s customer service and transparency. In particular, I recommend re-evaluating Fernando’s role in handling client communications, as his approach does not reflect the standards expected from someone in a supervisory position.
Hosted a small family party at a park and The Taco Guy Catering provided great service! The tacos and sides were great! Edin did a great job managing my party size.
We hired The Taco Guy for a birthday party, and they completely exceeded expectations! The setup was professional, the team was punctual and friendly, and the food was delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served hot off the grill. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the al pastor. They kept the line moving smoothly, and cleanup was a breeze. I’d absolutely book them again for any event!
Al pastor 🔥 and great service!
They have the best rice!!! Supper nice and great service!
Javier did an amazing job. The catering is off the hook! Javier was hired for my sisters engagement and he took such great care of everyone, on time, on point ! The best service ever. Very happy and satisfied customer.
Benito from The Taco Guy Catering was incredible! He really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food was SO good—everyone at my grand opening event couldn’t stop talking about the tacos and quesadillas. You could tell he cared about making the whole experience great. Super friendly, professional, and just made everything easy. I’d 100% recommend him for any event! The tacos are reasonably priced and very affordable for a large event.

I hired Taco Guy Catering for my baby shower this past weekend and it was the best choice. I first reached out to them on Yelp to ask about pricing and they were quick to respond. I like their prices so I decided to go with them. You get to choose four meat options and I went with the carne asada, chicken, Al pastor and chorizo. You'll have to pay first with a deposit to secure the date and have until the week of the event to cancel to get your money back.
The week before my event, my wife wanted to add some drinks so I reached back out to see if I could add some horatcha and Jamaica drink which they allowed me to do. The day of the event, Marco was our cook and he reached out to me to let me know he was on the way. I saved him a parking spot so it would be easier for him at my house.
Marco was amazing, he set up quick and the customer service he provided was great. My party guest really love the carne asada meat the most so if I book them again, I might just ask for double the carne. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and a lot of the guest like that next. The chorizo was the one that was the most leftover. The drinks were great too and remember to have your own ice. Marco also walked around with quesadillas to ask the guest who would want them. I would book this catering business again for any event. I wish I would've taken more pictures but I was too busy.
Super tasty tacos and curros tasted amazing! The toppings were great especially the grilled onion and green salsa! Benito was superfriendly and a great chef!
Recently hired The Taco Guy Catering for my baby shower and they were amazing! First, communication was easy and Fernando did a great job answering all of my questions. David was our chef on the day of our event and he was kind to my guests, attentive, and efficient! David came early, setup promptly, and was ready to serve. When he had to leave, he made sure the leftover food was displayed and set out for those that wanted seconds. Overall, great service and will definitely hire again for future events!
The Taco Guy Catering exceeded my expectations! First, by being able to book my gathering for my Mother's Memorial for 70 people only 4 days before.
Second, by being able to pay only $100 deposit of a $877 order by email instead of online due to technical difficulties with my phone.
Third, the day of, the tacos, quesadillas, rice, beans all the fixings along with watermelon and horchata aquas were delicious!
Fourth, Benito who cooked and served the food was very friendly and made sure each person's plate was made to their liking.
If your hesitant of booking with them, don't be.
The Taco Guy Catering came through for me during a very difficult time and will be my first choice
Was definitely not happy with there service the meat portions are very small ordered for 70 people had 50 guest we it was barely enogth they also said that each person will also be able to have quesadillas only about 25 people got a quesadilla because they ran out of cheese we were willing to provide our own cheese but they were not to happy with the idea do not recommend and will not be using there services again.
