Tacos and Hotdogs.com

He came to my house reeking of alcohol. He was 2 hours late. We paid for taking osier and bacon wrapped hot dogs… he wouldn’t do the tacos because he said he didn’t have time. He had another appointment within an hour. So we had him for 30 minutes. And we didn’t get refund.
Beware

He arrived on time and had most of the food ready on time. He forgot to bring forks and napkins. The hot dogs and tacos were good. The rice, beans, and Salsa were not good. He arrived saying that he knew he owed me a refund, but did not have cash. He said it would be in the mail and I should receive it in a week. 2 weeks later, i’m still waiting.

I usually don’t write reviews but I want to acknowledge the superb service that my party and I relieved on New Yeats Eve. We were able to book the party last minute on New Years Eve with a great price. The food was excellent and the customer service was outstanding. Will definitely be booking all future parties with Oscar!

Hired Oscar for Halloween party in Long Beach area. I expected 50 guests and wanted to keep things simple, so I only ordered tacos. His website was cool, and he was very polite over the phone offering some good suggestions. The handling of the deposit (50%) was fine using Square, and I received my receipt instantly. He showed up a little late, but managed to serve by our agreed time. Most of my guests liked the food, but a few said some of the tacos were a little greasy. My personal recommendation to Oscar would be to bring an assistant to speed up the food line. Overall: I would hire him again, and be sure to take advantage of the drinks he offered.

I’m lagging a bit with writing this review, but time got away from me. I produced a short film with my partner Mike in the spring and hired Oscar to cater for us. When we realized that we didn’t get our head count right for the second day of filming, Oscar really hustled to help us out and made sure to have enough food — even though his normal supplier was already closed
On first day of our shoot, he realized that cooking the rice for lunch was too noisy (we didn’t have to say anything, he just stopped) and so he made different sides to account for this AND to make sure our hungry crew was fend on time. So instead we got some pretty amazing nachos.
We underestimated the heat and how thirsty everyone would be, so we ran out of water quick. Oscar volunteered to run out and get more water (totally free of charge) — even though we agreed that we would provide our own water when we discussed details.
He made sure to check in periodically to make sure that everything was OK. He even slipped me some food early because he wanted to make sure I got fed. I ended up giving it to a couple of the actors who needed some sustenance before their scene, because I felt bad eating before the crew (and let’s be honest, a producer walking around with a delicious smelling taco while her crew is hot, sweaty and working hard… not ok… haha).
His lemonade is the BOMB… I mean really, people. It is soooooo delightfully refreshing. I witnessed grown men practically weep from the sheer joy they experienced while drinking it. And the food overall was very tasty. There were plenty of condiments and salsas, as well.
I am not sure why so many people on here had negative experiences, but I can say that for us Oscar was wonderful. The guys over here at TCD think you rock, Oscar! If you need reasonably priced and tasty catering for a production — Oscar is your man. So from Michael Valentino and I — two thumbs up:).

Oscar catered our End-​of-​2^nd-​Grade pool party and it was great! Everyone enjoyed the tacos and bacon wrapped hotdogs. Oscar was on time, friendly and helpful. I would recommend
for your party needs.

DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. UNLESS YOU LIKE TO HERE AN APOLOGY FOR EVERYTHING.
This guy doesn’t deserve any stars. in a nut shell, way over priced, didn’t have enough help, didnt bring the proper amount of food for our party, made my guests wait way to long to get served, it goes on and on and on. if you want details read the following
We had Oscar here at our Baby Shower function today, April 6, 2013 to serve approximately 190 people (which ended up being more like 110 — 115). My wife had found this guy online and said he had seemed to be reasonable and she liked his selection of food. He showed up last night to get an additional $ 300 deposit on top of the original deposit of $ 347 I had already given him WHY??? The first deposit I paid him with a credit card, last night he wanted cash. So as I’m handing him the cash he tells me he’s not going to charge me taxes… OK then he proceeds to tell me that I’m really giving him $ 273.00 because the taxes on that amount comes out to almost $ 300…WTF??? So I start asking him about this he tells me that since I want a receipt he has to charge me taxes… WTF AGAIN??? ok anyway, he shows up to our event, said he would have 2 helpers, only has 1 helper, proceeds to start preparing the food ok good or so I thought. As he starts serving, my guests see this and start going up to his tables to get served. He was supposed to have Carne Asada, Chicken, and Al Pastor tacos, hamburgers and bacon wrapped hot dogs. He had 2 small electric grills going. SMALL ELECTRIC GRILLS for a party that was supposed to feed 190 guests. UNACCEPTABLE!!! my guests waited in line to get 4 tacos for a half an hour and his only selection was carne asada because he couldnt prepare the other meats on his small grills, then he is telling people to wait for the bacon wrapped hot dogs, runs out of carne asada, and tells my nephew that there is no hamburgers because he is getting ready to leave. WTF??? OMG WHO IS THIS CLOWN??? AS I started to confront him he keeps apologizing, agrees to stay longer and then starts to put the hamburgers on the grill. he said he had 100 hamburgers but im looking at 4 patties on his small grills, REALLY? I cannot tell you how unprepared he was, when it was all over all he could say was that his truck broke down and he couldnt bring the right equipment and had an apologie for everything. I told him that he charged me a professional price and delivered nothing but apologies. AGAIN, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR PARTY, YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET AND YOUR GUESTS WILL NOT BE HAPPY. BUYER BEWARE.

I wish i can put down in words how oscar ruined my daughter’s birthday…
On the day of the scheduled party. I’d made several attempts to call Oscar if he was going to make it.
I didn’t receive a response at all. he called to apologize the next day with some excuse that i didn’t bother to listen because i was in such anger. It was too late for apologies.
to everyone out there:
Don’t hire this person! its almost like a crap shoot… you might be lucky if he returns your call.
how can someone like oscar disappoint a little girls heart?

The WORST taco and hot dog guy ever… this was my first time hiring a taco and bacon wrapped hotdog guy for a party and I was so excited about it too. I found Oscar online and read his reviews so I decided to call him. He seemed really nice and legit so i made an appointment so he could do a walk through and to give him a 50% deposit AND this was 2 months prior to my party. At the time we met, I thought he was really professional and I felt really comfortable and confident in hiring him.
A week before my party I emailed Oscar to confirm with him and he replied that everything is ready to go so I felt I had nothing to worry about. So the day of my party he was supposed to be there at 2pm to set up and start serving my guests at 230pm. I told my guests to arrive at 130pm so that they wouldnt miss the tacos and bacon wrapped hotdogs because Oscar was only going to be there for 2 hours. All my guests were hungry and so excited to eat. 215pm came, no Oscar. I called him and he said he was stuck in traffic and was running an hour late. I had to call him, he didnt even bother to inform me that he was running late. Luckily, I had other food for my guests to munch on while we waited for our main course An hour passed I called him back and his phone was shut off, it kept going to voicemail. At this point I was fuming, I couldnt believe he was doing this to me on my special day and he already took half my money. He called me 3 hours later saying his phone had ran out of battery so he couldnt call me and was on his way. I was so pissed off but my guests were still there and I wanted to feed them so I still wanted him to come. When he FINALLY arrived 4 HOURS later, he was not prepared whatsoever! I paid him to feed 100 ppl and he had maybe 100 dollars worth of food. It was just so ghetto and pathetic! While he was cooking the hotdogs, that fool had the nerve to tell my guests that his food was worth the wait. 4 HOURS!!! of waiting to eat burnt hotdogs without all the conditments he promised he would have. On top of it, he didnt even cook the tacos or make the nachos. This guy Oscar is a JOKE!!! I thought this was a nightmare. What «professional» business person would do this?!!
Luckily, I have understanding friends and family. All in all, DO NOT HIRE OSCAR FOR YOUR PARTY. HE IS VERY UNRELIABLE, UNPROFESSIONAL, AND A JOKE. Now i will have to live with this nightmare of an experience forever. Dont let this happen to you.

DO NOT under any circumstance hire these guys!!! They are unreliable and are absolutely not professional at all! Oscar arrived at a party I attended 5 hours late without notice, and when he did he was alone without his assistants as supposed to, burned the food, and also without some of the items that were supposed to be on the menu. He also had a terrible attitude and obviously could not handle the job. Please take this warning and stay away if you want to have a worry-​free party, I’d go with someone that I have personal reference to. Oscar will take your deposit and not tell you whether he’s running late or show up at all. Our host went and ordered food elsewhere when he finally decided to show up 5 hours later and it’s just really unsettling that he was not apologetic at all. He has ruined our hosts’ special occasion and that cannot be undone.

if there was an option to put down negative 5 stars, this guy would get a –10
the website looks legit, professional. he was anything but
i love bacon wrapped hotdogs. who doesn’t?
i love it when the people you hire to perform a service on time. he was anything but
i love it when you can smell onions on the grill and have all the condiments for the stuff he is grilling… oooOoO he was anything but…
this oscar fellow, i don’t know who would give this guy 5 stars…
he was 3 hours late… 3 HOURS? WTF… for an important event!
came by himself… with NO BACKUP… 3 hours late, burning the hotdogs.
NO MAYO!!! WTF! all the ketchup and mayo should be in one of those easy to squeeze containers… NO, this dude totally came unprepared!
they say «you never mess with a man’s hunger» this guy made alot of guest furious.
if you guys came here to see his reviews… i m glad you did…
DO NOT USE THIS AMATEUR BOZO!!!
IF you’re his friend… tell him to quit what he is doing before he does more harm and disappointments to others!
i repeat! FIND SOMEONE RELIABLE!!!
THIS GUY IS NOT!!! 3 HOURS LATE!!! NO MAYO!!! BURNT HOTDOGS!!!
NO BACK UP!!!

I will start by saying that I’ve never hired Oscar myself. HOWEVER, I have been to 3 different parties in which he catered. The food was VERY good, he was not late, nothing was burned, and a year and half later, I still remember the yumminess that came from that bacon-​wrapped dog. As a a guest at these 3 parties, I was not left hungry or disappointed. I definitely would hire Oscar for my own event in the future.

Very unprofessional and dissapointing. Do not call these guys for tacos or hotdog services. They were supposed to arrive at this party I attended at 2pm and serve from 2:30 — 4:30. They did not arrived until 6ish. The guy ‘Oscar’ called the host around 2:30 and said he was having car troubles then called an hour later and said there was traffic. I smelled BS already. I already knew they have double booked and thought they had it all under control but instead he had to bullshit and lied. There were so many upset guest waiting to eat, luckily the host went to grab some chow mein, fried rice and eggrolls.
Once he arrived he was very nervous and sweaty as if he was high on meth. He busted out a rinky dink grill which I was wondering how is this cheap ass grill gonna cook all these hot dogs and tacos for 100 guest. He carelessly threw a bunch of hot dogs on the grill and I would have to say he burnt most of them. He was really unprepared for this. The host advised us they are serving 400 tacos (chicken and beef) and bacon wrapped hot dogs and 2 aqua fresca. He brought only 1 kind of drink, 1 kind of meat and the meat looked disgusting as if it sat unrefridgerated for hours. This guy has ruin this party and from looking at other Unilocalers Im pretty sure they were un pleasant with
.
DO NOT CALL THESE GUYS. There are way better cater taco services out there. Oscar should have called the host to say he was going to be 5 hours late. He couldnt man up. He even personally told me his back up isnt coming and that he was going to be solo. The backups also had car troubles. They bit off more than they can chew by overbooking parties

My cousins and I were so excited that we found these caterers, for our moms party. We knew about taco trucks but one that had nachos, hot dogs and pupusas? After reading reviews on here, we decided we had to book them. We requested carne asada tacos and pupusas. The pupusas were going to be revueltas (meat beans cheese) and queso con loroco (cheese with vegetable?) it’s also my moms favorite kind of pupusa.
They day of, they showed up late and had people waiting for a while. The pupusas were defiantly not good. My mom was disappointed that the queso con loroco, didn’t have any loroco in them. I also heard many complaints from the guests saying the pupusas were not cooked well. My mom made sure to tell one of them and after telling them some were still raw. The pupusas were also supposed to come with curtido and salsa. The curtido was bland and clearly not Salvadorian curtido. Typically to make curtido you cook the vegetables in vinegar and add salt and spices. This one tasted like steamed vegetables, no flavor whats so ever.
I personally didn’t taste the carne asada tacos, but I am glad I didn’t. My husband and other guests did and they said the tacos were pretty greasy.
For the price, the food and service should have been much better. Defiantly will go with someone else next time.

attended a housewarming party where he was cooking. Best nachos ever, super sweet guys. Got a card and am hoping I can use him, even though the only space I have for him to cook is my balcony :)
He was definitely the hit of that party!

On time, professional yet friendly, and the most important — tasty!
We are using these guys for the second time and will definitely call them again in the future! Excellent service!

Tacos and Hot Dogs catered our family BBQ on December 4, 2010. From the very beginning Oscar was great to work with, his customer service was unbelievable, if he’d miss my call, immediately
Would he be calling back or reply to my emails with in seconds. Despite my changed of opinions Oscar worked out everything to what I wanted. Our family, mostly from the East Coast couldn’t stop
talking about how great everything was, Oscar even overstayed his time and left our place spotless. I highly do recommend Tacos and Hot Dogs for your next event. This type of customer service is
priceless.
Thank you so much Oscar!

Myra & David.

Hi Oscar Thank You so much for making it happen at my son’s 4^th bday party. You are actually the first taco man who i’ve ever hired for an event I hosted, and I am pretty impressed. I totally recommended you to people and hopefully they contact you for their events. I must say your customer service is excellent as well as your fathers.
The Goods: Food was AWESOME tasting!!! Good Customer Service and Very Professional. Your Horchata was the best I’ve ever tried by far, and trust I’ve tried a lot of Horchata out there. I was really impressed by your set up. You were a big hit for my Son’s Bday Party!!!
The Ok’s: The only thing I wasn’t able to control was my guest coming back for more tacos therefore left a couple of my guest empty handed when it came to tacos, maybe next time have extra just in case that scenario happens again. The Bacon Wrapped HotDog was good but honestly I was expecting Alley Dog sized Bacon Wrapped HotDogs they were regular sized HotDogs to me. Also more nachos would have been a hit as well. As for the Jamaica it was ok, I’ve had better. (These Statements is to only help better your business and True Honesty from me).
–Oscar Thank you so much for your Professionalism and Customer Service. You’ve been Outstanding, I will recommend you to anyone who wants a Good Taco Man!!! Just Remember to Keep up with your Customer Service and GOOD Tasting Food. If possible BIGGER SIZE BACON WRAPPED HOTDOGS AND MORE TACOS AND NACHOS JUST IN CASE. Other than my recommendations you totally ROCK!!!

Okay Oscar I hope you don’t hate me for this because I didn’t give you a 5 stars like everyone else here but I am an honest reviewer and I do hope you improve on your services of course.
First, thank you for being an honest guy. And it is a two person job and you did superb on your part trying to handle all the cooking. I really would have loved to try your carne asada cause I love carne asada on my tacos haa haa. Since it was suppose to be 3 kind of meats and only chicken was served. I knew I should have ordered a double dose of the bacon wrapped hot dogs cause I know my guests. Never underestimated them. I give you kudos for your drink. I did hope that everything showed all at once. Cause I could have ordered 10 gallon of that drink so delish and my guests could have drank that from beginning to end.
My hubby was really really bummed he didn’t get to try the bacon wrapped hot dogs.
I feel that at the end Oscar was scared of me when ever I would come near him … I don’t bite Oscar. You did a good job for whatever you can do at that situation when things go wrong. But I think a little more organization as a team with your dad would have been better coordinated. And it isn’t a bad idea to scout out the location too before the actual event for any catering jobs and to even have a meeting with your clients face to face before hand. And probably to sign a document to relieve you from any lawsuits. Cause you never know.
Am I being too harsh here? I hope not.

Wrapping a hot dog in bacon is one of man’s greatest creations. I’ve had them before but never as fresh and as tasty than at the party I attended Sunday night at the Silent Movie theater in Los Angeles.
«Happy Heart» whose website is
provided fresh tacos (either chicken or beef), fresh pupusas, and of course bacon wrapped hot dogs with grilled onions to what was a heavily catered event. Considering they were competing with the infamous «In n’ Out» truck; their delicious and fresh food proved to be the favorite of the party.
I have to admit that I ate more tacos and and bacon wrapped hot dogs than any human should in one sitting. Happy Heart’s tacos and hot dogs were the highlight of the evening, for sure.
