My Taco Man Catering

Delicious tacos catered today at work. Wish this was a weekly thing!

When you google taco catering you are flooded with a million options! The first one I noticed was MTM, after doing a bit of research I found out these guys really created the Taco Cart at your party thing. I think we can all say thank you for that lol.
Now to the service, so I decided to go with them since they have great reviews and some ok ones but most importantly they look real and don’t have 50 5start reviews, lol come on guys.
I called in and left a voicemail, a little bummed out nobody picked up but I did get a call 6 minutes later. On the phone was a guy named Alex, such a nice guy and very accommodating and knew everything there is to this kind of stuff. Even giving me advice on my guest count.
The day of my event I got a call 20 minutes prior from my cook, a sweet guy named Giovanni
He came about an hour and a half prior to serving. Set everything up and served my guest the entire time with a smile, my husband always says «service with a smile goes a long way «. And so did his tip :).
We ran out of food but that’s because it was so Delish, my fatty my guest helped themselves to seconds and triples. Lol

Fantastic! I’ve experienced several taco caterings but MYMC is by far the best. First of all Ivan H. and Alex C. made the experience 5 star worthy! They looked neat and sharp as they provided professional service. The setup was nice, clean and the food and taco stand were well displayed. The vegetables were freshly cut and I think watching the food being prepared was a plus in assuring freshness of the food. The end result was amazingly delicious food. I chose the Taco man package and I feel we received more than expected. All the utensils, including the to go packaging were included. We catered a party of 40 and everyone was so complementing of the food. I’m sure they’re great for really big parties, in which they include even more choices such as drinks and chips.
I wish we could have another catering party for the food and experience, but I’d make sure I’d request for Ivan H. and Alex C. I should also mentioned communication with Alex O. to setup the catering was great!

I ended up canceling my order with this company after multiple mistakes in the contracting phase. If they can’t get the basic contract correct, they probably can’t get the actual task correct either – and based on the numerous negative reviews on Unilocal,they indeed seem to have trouble actually doing their job correctly. First we were told the charge was $ 35 for delivery to my location. I also decided to add rice and beans to my order when I spoke to representative. When the company sent the first estimate, it was high and we said we would not pay that much and that our budget was $ 350 for a small party. I asked them to bring the price down and suggested they do this by taking out the rice and beans and guacamole. Never did the female representative on the line tell me that rice and beans were always included – so, they do not add any extra charge to have them. I later noticed that on their website («of course Rice and Beans included ALWAYS!» it says). On the second, revised estimate, they took out the rice and beans and lowered the overall price to $ 350. I then noticed that the delivery charge had increased. When I called to find out what was going on (why did the delivery charge go up and if rice and beans were «included ALWAYS!“why the heck would taking them off make any difference in price – and why didn’t their rep tell us earlier that rice and beans were always included without an extra fee) I got an excuse, then apologies. First, the male who claimed to be a manager stated that he was sorry and that 1) they should not have increased the delivery fee to $ 40, that, he said, was only done to bring the price up the $ 350 we said was our budget… what? You add charges to increase the price if someone says they can pay more… unprofessional and unethical, but the manager repeated he was sorry and said the female who did the estimate should never have done it. 2) when asked about the rice and beans, he confirmed yes, they always come and should not have been treated like an extra charge, again, the female employee was blamed and the male claiming to be the manager said it should never have been treated as a charge on the estimate. We continued the negotiations over the phone and came an agreement on the price, time to be spent at our party, and food.
After all the apologies, we were still willing to give them a chance and we waited for a corrected estimate with what we had agreed. When it arrived the next day… they had decreased the agreed upon time that their reps would spend at our party.
Every step of the first, most basic part of the job – making the contract, was completely unprofessional. They couldn’t follow what they advertise (with an exclamation point!), raised prices to go UP to our budget (?!), and after an entire conversation and verbal agreement, they changed the contract in its written form. Did they think we would never check and just pay? Probably. I wonder if Tom Hanks’ staff made the arrangements for him… otherwise, he might want to double check that contract he paid with this company… and then think about firing his staff for entering into it.

Food was amazing. Steven hooked it up with delicious asada carnitas and chicken. All outer guests loved it. Will def book again

Absolute failure! We had confirmed reservations for our office party on Friday 12÷11÷15. CONFIRMED by emails. They were suppose to be here by 2:30pm.
THEY NEVER SHOWED UP! We called several times starting at 2:15pm. No return call.
Finally we got a call after 3pm. They were about 30 – 40 moles away. Stating they would be here in a few minutes. Right…
Cancelled the order. Ordered pizza and had a good laugh. I guess we’re not Tom Hanks… but our staff deserved better.

Our caterer Hector and his partner (a very nice woman whose name i’m forgetting) were an absolute hit at our company party in Mid-​Wilshire. They were incredibly patient and accommodating with our request to locate their grill on the roof of our 11-​story building where the party was being held. In addition, they were totally personable and easy to talk to. It was like having two of my friends cooking for us.
As for the food– FANTASTIC. Everything was fresh, perfectly-​prepared, and nicely laid out. Our guests ate everything!

Had them cater our wedding last month. Paid the additional $ 150 for an additional service attendant who never showed up. They did not come dressed for the event as advertised and did not even have an extension cord for their food warmers. After sending an email with my concerns and request for my refund for the worker, I have not heard a response in over 3 weeks. We are still trying to get them to respond. Sad part is, the food was good and the workers who were there did a great job. At this point, the one star is for service. Next step, small claims court.

I hired My Taco Man Catering for my husband’s birthday last weekend. They arrived 45 minutes late, which was 15 minutes before the party was to start, saying something about an issue with the toll road (?). They rushed to get ready and in the process, did not prepare the appetizers I ordered. After asking, they prepared only one (I ordered two different appetizers) while also preparing the tacos, so that they did not inform me they had prepared the one appetizer. In fact, they had it tucked away in an area no one would have easily noticed. Odd. By the time I learned they had made the appetizer (after many guests had already arrived and were to have been ready when they arrived), they were, at best, lukewarm. And while the team was 45 minutes late arriving, they did not waste any time in leaving at the original end time. As for the tacos, they were well received and I found them to be OK.
I sent an email to My Taco Man to let them know what happened and expected at least a ‘We’re sorry,’ but have heard absolutely nothing.
I chose My Taco Man because of the rave reviews and hoped to contribute the same. I might have even overlooked their late arrival, the lukewarm appetizer, and missing appetizer, and given a better review if the company would have just acknowledged my disappointment as things do happen. Their lack of acknowledgment is inexcusable.

Had my taco man cater my wedding a month back nothing but good things to say everything was perfect, food was fresh and tasty the servers were on time and very polite. All our guest were very impressed with the quality and attention to detail that went into the Taco Bar, best tacos I have had in a long time, will use there services for years to come.

Over the past 2 years I have used so many taco caterers for my company events, I usually go local and hire one in the city where we hold the event. A few months ago we had a large event at the Rose Bowl and Needed something a little bit better, after finding my taco man online I was really impressed. specially after giving them a call.
The day of they showed up on time and the guy cooking was a blast to have around. The food was better than expected.
What really impressed me is how I passed on there information to my coworkers at UBER and we have used them over 7 times since and they never given us any problem or showed up late.
These other reviews I honestly can’t event believe it’s the same company we work with, not to mention who in there right mind would accept 25 bucks to review someone 5 stars that did an awful job.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS, see your taco man guys soon!

I recently had a company event and catered through My Taco Man. Excellent service and food.
Service– Team of two: Gus and another guy (can’t remember his name) arrived early and also called to inform me they were on their way). Set up their taco stand and bar and provided excellent service to my clients. Cleaned up the area used, no trash left behind.
Food–
There was more than enough tacos to feed 70+ people which included carnitas, carne asada and chicken. Although, I wouldn’t suggest the grilled veggies as it was only Italian squash. They did also offer cheese quesadillas for my veggie eaters. We did run out of rice and salsa. But as I mentioned we had extra tacos. Food was tasty and my clients enjoyed it being served hot and fresh. The extra meat was also packaged in aluminum pans for us to take home.
Cost– they have different packages depending on # of guests. Each of my guests was able to get 3 tacos and even seconds for others in the 2hr period that we served.
All in all, I would use My Taco Man again for any future events.

Had My Taco Man out yesterday for our Father’s Day family event. We had about 20 people. Steve showed up on time, he was very friendly, clean, organized and did a great job! We got carne asada, chicken and shrimp tacos with the salsa bar, guacamole bar, churros and rice & beans. The steak & chicken were excellent. The salsa, especially the habanero salsa, was excellent! The guacamole was just okay, but I prefer less chunky & no tomatoes. He even made special quesadillas for my super picky niece that she gobbled up.
It was a great experience — exactly what we expected.

This company is better for small events for about 10 to 20 people. They have limited staff and office support resulting in slow response time for larger events (50 to 100+). The food was ok.
Pros–
–good for small parties (10 – 20 ppl, think street cart vender.)
–ok food
Cons–
–late to event

Robert, I would not have paid for the terrible service either. What went on is surely between you and the people paying you. You say 28 mins but when the wedding MC has to ask to speed things up because of the taco man then there is a problem. As guest we should not have had to step up to help your employee. It’s a wedding, I would be livid I’d this happened at mine. Then again I would have first seen all the negative reviews and read the complaints before deciding if your company was one I would go with. From reading the negative reviews now, it seems like your employees have a problem getting to most places on time. Perhaps the «flat tire» is just another excuse. Oh and all the good reviews for $ 25 off, doesn’t Unilocal have regulations about that?
Only one guy for a wedding event sounds ridiculous and for 1k? You must be kidding me. I have been to graduations and one other wedding (smaller) where the catering crew was more than one guy, the food tasted better and the service was 100% better. I’ll be sure to find out who those companies were so I can refer them out.
It’s good that you don’t need some people’s business. It’s a shame that you try to taint the customers in that matter, I made sure to send a screens shot of your comment to some of the guests at the wedding. Hopefully the rest of the guests leave their opinion of your catering business.

My Taco Man has catered a couple of our corporate events and each time they have knocked it out of the park for us! Their food is great and the Grilled Veggie option is perfect for those who do not eat meat! They show up when promised, setup, serve, cleanup and give us the left-​overs when they’re done!
We will certainly be using My Taco Man for our next corporate event without a doubt!!!

We just had Mr Taco Man catering for our daughters birthday party, it was great!!! We had Vidal cooking the tacos and he was very polite and an excellent cook!
We had 24 kids at the party and the tacos were not enough!!! They love the quesadilla Vidal made!
Thank you Vidal!

We have used them 2 times for events and they are amazing. Great service and good quality.
We had Itzel and Ivan and both of them gave a lot of attention to our clients.
Thank you Taco Man!

Not only is Taco Man’s tacos absolutely delicious; their customer service is above and beyond any expectations.
I had them cater a production and the food was delivered, set up flawlessly and right on time. It was the best catering service I have ever used. I will definitely be seeing them again!

We had a fantastic experience hiring My Taco Man to cater our twins’ 2^nd birthday party. I had many more people attend the party than originally planned (the final head count was over 80) and My Taco Man was great about responding to my questions and figuring out my food options.
We ended up going with the classic package and added on churros, which were so delicious and thrilled our guests.
I was absolutely amazed that our server, Anthony, managed to haul all that food to our location at the park and grill it up right then and there, in under an hour. Everyone thought the tacos and quesadillas were amazing and, weeks later, I still have friends asking me who the taco company was. Everyone commented about how delicious the tacos were.
Anthony was super nice and professional. Many of our friends commented about how great he was at explaining all the options and making delicious tacos.
My twins especially loved the tacos– and so did their little friends! It was so nice not having to worry about cooking or serving any food so that I could enjoy the party and mingle with our friends.
My Taco Man was a huge hit and a big thanks to Anthony for making the food at our party unforgettable.
