Tasty Tacos

I gave them a star because the food was honestly good. My issue with them is that everything was very promising. Great communication from the day I called to inquire of their services to the day before the appointment. Then, it was as if I booked a completely different company. They showed up 2 HOURS LATE!!!
No courtesy call to let me know. I called and called and no answer. They finally returned my call and simply said, «we’re behind on schedule due to traffic».
Very unprofessional. Meanwhile I had people at my party waiting for food and I had to go out and order pizza for about 70 people. They finally show up and it still took another hour for the food to finally be ready. On top of that, we had agreed to include 5 gallons of beverages and turns out the guy that showed up was not aware of such thing so I had no drinks for my guests. Another expense. They also came with plates & utensils for about 40 people when i clearly said 70. Then, I asked for a discount due to the poor service and they would only give me $ 50 discount. He asked to see the receipt of my pizza purchase when he clearly saw dozen pizza boxes in the trash, not to mention all our guests were mentioning it to him, and they still would not budge. Overall, very bad experience. Advice to all, your time in choosing a BETTER CATERING CO.
Best of luck with these guys.

They made me so stressed out. I was very optimistic because Aldo was professional and called me the day before to confirm everything. I saw the mixed reviews on here and prayed that everything would work out for the better. However, they were 45 minutes late and started cooking a whole hour after the agreed time. I felt that things were shady as well because when I called Aldo on the day of multiple times he did not pick up. However, when my sister used her phone to call him, he did pick up the phone. So for a good 25 minutes, I was freaking out because I had 150 hungry guests and the food was no where to be seen. That was not a good feeling at all. In addition, they didn’t even really apologize for being late. I gave them another star only because they showed up at least, I really didn’t know what to do if they didn’t come. The food was pretty good, I enjoyed the carnitas and the lengua. They ran out of the toppings and salsa though. The melon agua fresca was good but the horchata wasn’t super great. The rice was good but the beans were flavorless. Overall, thank you for at least showing up but I will never go to them again for catering.

In March 2015 I had Tasty taco cater a 30 person party… there was plenty of food served for 2 hours. They were referred to me by a friend… after reading some reviews on Unilocal… I was a bit skeptical but after speaking with the friend that referred me… I decided to go with Tasty… I am very happy that I did! The service was excellent! Aldo is a great! His communication is very professional and precise. All the food was very good and fresh (tacos, meats beans, rice quesadillas, chips and salsa) The cost of Tasty taco was very competitive and well worth the money. It was so simple… they did all the cooking and serving and cleaning… I had to do nothing to have awesome tacos at my party… this was PERFECT!

I’ve got nothing but good things to say about these guys. Aldo was professional and clear on the phone while booking. He called the day prior to confirm everything. The taco guru arrived well ahead of time, food was ready to go at exactly the designated time. Every single guest raved about how amazing the tacos were. We had carne asasa, chicken, and pastor. All three were delicious. Salsas were not outstanding but entirely functional and with such great meats, it didn’t matter. The price was exactly what you’d expect and right in line with other taco guys I called ($ 350 for 40 – 50 guests)
I don’t think you’ll do any better than this company. I will absolutely use in the future and recommend to friends.

Hired Tasty Tacos for my baby shower and food was awesome! Arrived on time just as promised! We had the pastor, chicken, asada, and quesadillas. The condiments/​sauces were good! Everything was flavorful. Liked the fact that everything was cooked on site. Only downside is, we didn’t have any leftovers =(Being that my husband and I were mingling with our guests and making sure everybody had drinks cuz it was an extremely hot and humid day, we didn’t get to eat much and was hoping to have some leftovers for a late dinner, didn’t happen. Guess our guests really enjoyed the food. All in all, I would hire Tasty Tacos for my next Taco party!

Had these guys over for my sons 2^nd bday party. We agreed on $ 300 for 30 people which included rice and beans and one agua fresca of our choice, so we requested watermelon.
First off they are 45 min late, im thinking «no biggie». Secondly, they brought pinapple fresca. Again, im thinkin no biggie. About halfway through the party, they straight up run out of meat!!! I can assure you Unilocalers, that there were not 30 people eating tacos. At the max there was 20 people at most eating tacos. This is a first for me, ive had several taco guys at parties and i have never ever seen them run out of meat!!! Then to make matters even worse, at the end they start packing up the rice and beans to take with them!!! Why the heck are you guys packing up my rice and beans that i paid for!!!
After the party i spoke to ray (the boss) and he told me that they brought 5 lbs of meat to the party. Lets see here 30 people 5 lbs of meat thats 6 people per pound. Thats less than quarter pounder from mcdonalds in meat per person for 10 dollars per person. Simple mathematics folks. Rip off!!!
In conclusion, dont be a fool like me and have these guys do a party for you. Im sure anyone else (and i do mean anyone else) on craigslist will be better than these guys. I got ripped off pretty good here. Dont make the same mistake i made Unilocalers!!!

I hired three tacos vendors in the past. Tasty tacos by far is the best experience I’ve had. They showed up on time. Pleasant attitude and great customer service. Food was also great. They have to hottest red salsa I’ve tasted. I’m hiring them soon again for my wedding.

I recently hired Tasty Tacos for my son’s baptism over the weekend.
As I have hired at least five or six other taco vendors in the past, I feel I am qualified to make a valid assessment of their services.
I see that some other people say they had problems with professionalism, but I was called the day before to confirm the time and amount of food I would need. The chef was at my house thirty minutes early, brought everything, including tables, the grill, etc, and didn’t need any assistance getting set up.
The food was delicious, fresh, and authentic. We had the carne asada and chicken and both were a hit, not to mention the fresh quesadillas, salsa, chips, rice, and beans. Everything was fantastic. Our guests also agreed that they loved the food!
I have used previous vendors who ran out of food, but they had more than enough, which was nice. He left me all the left overs, which I am still enjoying.
I don’t see how you could go wrong with Tasty Tacos!

Threw our first annual bbq with much help from TT’s. They promised first taco at 6pm and I sure as shit had my first taco at 6pm. Punctuality, friendliness and aethetics earns them 4 stars. A few of the questionable bites had me making sure the pomeranian running around was still alive, but overall — good quality meat!

Your playing Russian Roulette if you hire Tasty Tacos. He didn’t show up to my event will he show up to yours !? Sounds like pattern if you read his other reviews… He didn’t even have the balls to call me and say he was sorry and give a bullshit reason why he needed to screw me over. DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER THIS COMPANY !! Its Horrible he would do this to people that are trying to host an event for guests!

In a nutshell: Tasty Tacos showed up on time, set a nice table, put out some great food (& supplies), took some special requests, cleaned up after wards, and didn’t kick the chihuahua. See you next year Tasty Tacos. And you better show up on time or I will send the chihuahua to get you.
The drawn-​out version:
I have an annual event — Fiesta De Los Poodles. And it gets serious! The catering company I’d been using either changed hands or changed help or stopped caring or got too big for their britches, or hates dogs — but since this review is not about the *other* catering company I’ll just move on. This review is about TASTY TACOS, after all. And tasty they are! Admittedly, we were all drinking but everyone appeared happy and content, with no complaints.
But I’m getting a little ahead of myself. I called at the last minute to schedule the party, and they were great — flexible, accommodating and ready to get to work.
On the day of the event, my guy gets here (notice how i am now claiming ownership) — yes, only one guy for 75 people, but no problema. he had his sh*t together. He was kinda cute too from what little i can remember. And who doesn’t like to watch a hard working man? Anyways, i digress. So there he was, he set up quickly, didn’t cry about the sun hitting him the face. Didn’t even flinch at Lola the mean chihuahua who came up and threatened his life because he wasn’t giving her food. Well, this was a dog party, after all, and dogs like food. He simply pretended she was not hanging off his leg, Sweet!
The setup was gorgeous right down to the festive Mexican-​themed table toppings. Food was displayed in a nice array on their own table. These people supplied everything! Not only were they less expensive than that *other* place but they didn’t forget the tortillas and they brought utensils and plates. And — are you ready for this — they gave me free horchata (I should not be telling you this because you will expect something free too, but what the hell). I was skeptical about the Horchata at first. i won’t lie, but it was just as tasty as the tasty tacos. I now know they earned their name. Good beans. Good rice. Good salsas. Good al pastor, good chicken, good steak. Good quesadillas. Good horchata.
So everyone drank, ate, drank, ate, gave dogs tacos, drank, ate. «My» guy stayed a few hours, packed up and left us the leftovers. Nobody was left high or dry here. I look forward to seeing him again — i mean having «them» cater our next event.

So let me start this review by saying that I can’t even tell you if this taco guy’s food is good or not. «Why then are you writing a review for him?», you ask… Well, I would’ve loved to tell you all about how «Tasty» his tacos were, but HE NEVER SHOWED UP!
Let’s break it down, shall we!!! My best friend threw a 40^th birthday party for her husband and hired Tasty Tacos… Long story short — they left her high and dry! Yup! No show. No call. No sorry. No nothing. He even called my best friend the day before to confirm that he’d be there. So, the party rolls around and he’s an hour late, then two, then three — Well you get the idea! We called multiple times. Even left him messages saying, «If you can’t make it, please just call and let us know, so we can make other arrangements.» No reply.
So, you’re officially warned! By hiring Tasty Tacos you run the risk of having to leave your OWN party (filled with starving guests) to go hunt down a large amount of food as fast as possible.
So, thanks Tasty Tacos! Thanks for uhhh… absolutely nothing!

We hired tasty tacos for my sons 3^rd birthday party. A friend of ours referred him to us. Upon booking the taco guy Aldo (owner) promised free quesadillas and guacamole since we were a referral. The cook Aldo sent to cook was 3 hours late. I called Aldo several times to check on where this guy was and he said he will be there any minute however when Aldo tried to call the guy he wasn’t picking up his phone. He said he was coming from the 605 and that there was traffic. this may be true however I had guests coming from the same direction who showed up before this cook ever did. Once the guy showed up my family had to help him unload his car as he had nobody to assist him. My family set up the grill and asked him if there was anything they could do to speed up the process and he said no. He didn’t have a table to set up the toppings for the tacos and had to borrow one of ours. Aldo assured me on the phone that it would only take 20 minutes for the guy to cook the food, not true. it took an hour. Once done he started serving the tacos, we asked where the rice and beans were and he said in the cooler meaning they were not warm they were ice cold. We had to take the beans and rice and heat them in my oven and microwave. Not sure how he had planned on heating them in the first place since his grill was so small. The quesadillas that we were promised were never offered we had to ask for them. The guacamole that was promised never appeared. The left overs that were supposed to be left for us were all taken by the cook. Aldo took $ 100 off the $ 350 cost however in my opinion after being 3 hours late he should have no charged the service. I had over 10 people leave without eating including kids. All my guests went without lunch and the ones who were left had dinner. This is the worst caterer I have ever hired! My husband tried calling Aldo to discuss how disspointed we were and never recieved a call back. This guy has no idea how his business is being run. If you read most of the reviews on Unilocal the cook is always late. I will never use this guy again and would never refer him to anyone.

Worst service ever!!! He was an hour late to my party, didn’t bring any extra tables to put there condiments on, their propane was leaking, he ran out of cooking oil so we had to go get him some ourselves, all the meats were completely frozen so we didn’t get to pick the variety of meats, it was one at a time! Also the beans and rice were so cold when he brought them here that I had to heat them myself! I was looking Foward to a nice relaxing night talking to my guests but I was busy fixing their mess the whole time! Very disappointed! Do not use them!!!

This company is a joke!!! Beyond unprofessional… I attended a family party this weekend that unfortunately for us hired this company. Where do I even begin??? First off the representative for this company was an hour and a half late due to «traffic» then once he arrived he asked «us» if we had a table he could borrow! Seriously how do you show up to a party you are being paid to cater unprepared. It was then that I realized they sent one person to cater a party for 100!!! There was nothing we could do we had 100 people hungry and ready to eat so WE helped him set up. Then he asks if we had some sort of tape because his PROPANE tank had a leak!!! Luckily my friends dad had some. So we fixed it. After that came the kicker… THE MEAT WAS FROZEN!!! They were in blocks… He couldn’t get cooking because it wasn’t thawing out fast enough on the grill. We thought quickly and filled coolers with water and placed the bags of meat in there to help it defrost! At that point I was livid here are guests trying to help this guy who was paid to cater a party. Not only that but when meat is frozen ITS NOT FRESH… We lent the rep a knife to help cut through the frozen meat! There were supposed to be 3 meats to choose from and quesadillas… Well because the meat was frozen the rep could only cook one meat at a time and SLOWLY VERY SLOWLY… At no point in time did guests have the option to select what kind of meat they had it was a you get what you get.
If that wasn’t bad enough the rice and beans that were catered were cold not room temp like he was stuck in trafic but right out of the refrigerator COLD. My friend and I heated the oven had to put some rice and beans in bowls heat them up in the microwave little by little so that the guests could eat it. At the temperature it arrived at it was not even edible. The chips and guacamole ran out quickly because that was the only thing that was able to be eaten upon arrival. The party started at 4 the rep was scheduled to arrive at 330 and didn’t show until 510 he didn’t start cooking until 6pm and people weren’t able to start to eat till 7 and even by 8 the meat hadn’t thawed out and people were still waiting to eat. The process was slow, very very slow… The rep ran out of oil so we had to lend him ours. He also ran out of cheese for the quesadillas. It was a disaster!!!
This company was unprepared understaffed and the quality was less than impressive. This was supposed to be a celebration instead of enjoying the festivities we did the job of the caterer for them. And it wasn’t the first time the night before we were trying to contact them to confirm for the next day and didn’t hear back until past 9pm. But that’s neither here nor there. The purpose of hiring a caterer is so that you don’t need to do the work, they do it for you. Needless to say we did the job for them and still had to pay them hundreds of dollars!!! It makes no sense.
If you are looking for quality food, good service, professionalism and punctuality TASTY TACOS IS NOT FOR YOU!!!
Save yourselves and your guests the headache of picking up their slack and look elsewhere… If I could give this business negative stars I would. We can never get back the time wasted doing their job for them… So much time and money was spent trying to make this event a joyous one, and it was all ruined by this caterer. Food is such a big part of any event and its what people often remember… I can say with all honesty there are 100 guests that would NEVER RECOMMEND TASTY TACOS to ANYONE!!! Beware they are full of excuses… I only wish I would have taken pictures… Unlike the ones posted our rice and beans were not kept warm by anything not even warmer’s, and the grill was half the size!!!
I strongly caution anyone contemplating working with this company…

We had Tasty Tacos this past weekend at our sons birthday party and it was a hit everyone loved it we are still eating left overs yum yum we ordered 4 meats instead of 3 we had the asada, pollo, carnitas, and lengua al they were all yummy we are def. gonna use Tasty Tacos over and over again for every party!

Great service, really good tacos and AFFORDABLE! We hired tasty tacos for my birthday pool party, The carne asada is really good, you can taste the quality. I was thinking of a bbq but this definitely was easier, my invitees just went and asked for whatever they wanted and I didn’t have to worry about it ;). The beans are BOMB! Aldo is freaking cool too :)
