Taquizas El Unico

Not sure why these guys have 3 stars. The company I work for has used them every year for 4 years straight for our annual summer picnic. Always on time. Great service and excellent food. I’m planning on using them for a personal event soon.

Awful! I have used this company several times and referred them to others. Today I had them scheduled to be here at 4pm. Booked it a month ago and then reconfirmed this morning. I was told they were on there way. One hour after they were supposed to be here I finally get a hold of them and am told they don’t know what I’m talking about. Never trust this company!!!

Love these guys! I was at 3 or 4 events that they did before I actually hired them for my event. The tacos are delicious! The speed in which they make the tacos is crazy. It’s like a show just watching them. They were a hit at my event AND the events that I attended. i had about 60 people at my event and it cost me $ 400 and I think I gave them a $ 50 tip. my event was in a public park. They pulled up, put up a canopy set the work area and BAM tacos!!! Delicious tacos!!!
It may make you nervous that if you book them for a certain time that they get there like 10 — fifteen minutes before hand. I know it made me nervous but when they got there like 5 minutes up and running. Fast! You may want to call and make sure that you are on the books just to make sure days before. They aren’t like a chain or anything. They are authentic so along with that authenticity comes the fact that you are dealing with a very busy businessman/​chef. One good thing is that they always showed up and rocked it with the tacos.

Looking for a taquero, received this company’s info from a friend. I requested an estimate for 50 people. For $ 400: 2 types of meat for tacos, all the fixings, quesadillas and mulitas. So far, this is the best price I have found for tacos only taquero.

Love these guys! They make great tacos! The ONLY gripe is that they don’t do sides at all. So, whenever we have them, we have to make a separate trip to get our own beans, rice, chips, etc., for our parties. Small price to pay for great tacos, I suppose.

These guys are the BEST! I’ve used them privately for a party of 30 and for a business event for almost 100 people. They are friendly, timely, professional, and the food is amazing! I will continue to use and recommend them!

I confirmed many times with Luis for our rehearsal dinner. He said he would be there at 5:30. At 6:30 they still had not arrived and said «his drivers» would be there in an hour. At 7:15 when they finally arrived they were super friendly and the tacos were excellent! The problem is Luis was not organized and did not take my order seriously. I wish they arrived on time because the tacos were excellent. But I would never use them again because they are not dependable.

Best street tacos we have ever had!!! Our company has hired them hand full of times now and the food has been AMAZING. I would highly recommend them!

Delicious food, a party favorite! We’ve had these guys cater carne asada for two of our parties with ~40 guests. The food is amazing, everybody loves it. And it’s a fun experience to watch them serve fresh, made to order tacos. Very often people ask us to share the phone number of Taquizas El Unico so they can have them for their own party.
You need to be a little bit careful…
They don’t serve rice or beans. We get party trays of rice and beans from a local taco shop.
Also, when you call the catering phone number it’s going to be the cell phone of a guy who quite possibly is in Mexico at the time, writing down your details on a cocktail napkin. You should be extra conscientious when you speak to him… ask him to repeat back everything you told him. Then call back the day before your party and ask confirm all the details of your party. Then call back the morning of your party and confirm it again. I have had to correct mix ups in timing the day of the party. It’s not a big deal… for me the quality of the food outweighs this minor annoyance!

They forgot about my Niece’s birthday party and when they finally did show up hours late the servers were not friendly at all and they seemed totally rushed and just like they wanted to get the hell outta there as fast as possible. If you’re going to spend the money to have something like «made to order» tacos at your party it should be a great and professional experience… Taquizas El Unico did not deliver either.
Next family event I’ll volunteer to bbq the carne!

Somehow our event disappeared from their calendar between the verification call 2 days prior and the event. He got my address and guest count and said a crew would be at my house in 20 minutes. About 1 hour later they show up.
When they wanted to leave and be paid, I was like, not so fast, maybe an apology or compensation would be nice. He told me he was at my house for the agreed upon amount of time. When that was not satisfactory he called his boss and put him on the phone with me. Boss said, we made tacos and thats that.
No apologies from them, no rebooking for me.
TL;DR Delicious tacos, crap professionalism.

If you are looking to start your party on time, you might think twice about hiring this business. Our servers arrived over an hour late — long after the time I wanted to begin eating. It ruined the event for me. The food is very good and once they do arrive, setup only takes about 20 minutes. Thank goodness. I probably will not hire them again, simply because this is not the first time they have been late for our event. The first time they were ½ hour late and I gave them the benefit of the doubt. There are far too many competitors out there that can prepare a taco just as well.

I contracted this company in October of 2011 for a Halloween party because I had tasted their tacos at a previous party I had attended. The tacos are delicious and freshly made right off the cart. Our taco guy was very entertaining to say the least as he would literally toss the meat up in the air and catch it with the tortilla and then would add guacamole, salsa, cilantro, at your request. I gave it four stars because you do have to provide plates and utensils and it does not come with any other sides, but this is why their prices are reasonable. Try this caterer, they are very professional and friendly.
