Del Mar Taco Company

Del Mar taco Co is amazing!!! I never write reviews, but the food and service was so awesome, I just had to. Oscars came out for my daughter’s 1^st birthday party today and the guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the food was! As one guest said «these are some really legit tacos!!!» Very prompt, professional, and very easy to get hold of. I also added the ceviche, which was awesome and my favorite. Will be definitely be using Oscar’s services for future parties!

If there were six stars, Del Mar Taco Co. would get it. This catering company is as good as fresh mex gets. The service and spread are amazing, I’ve experienced their catering twice so far and both times have been exceptional. Oscar and his team do not skimp, if you don’t try this company you are missing out.

Hired Del Mar Taco Company to cater a casual lunch for about 60 friends and family the day after my wedding. Oscar was easy to work with, the food was delicious and we were very pleased with the service! Would recommend and hopefully use again for another event.

Oscar and his team are awesome — and so is the food! I just had my husband’s 30^th birthday event «Dia de los Miguel» catered by Del Mar Taco Co. this last Saturday evening. I cannot say enough about the 2 gentlemen who set everything up, cooked the food fresh, served our guests with smiles and even went around collecting empty plates to throw away (above and beyond). They were professional and polite.
Since our party was at night, we had to have the table set up in a corner of our yard, which was not super well lit despite the lights I hung above the area). These guys were champs and busted out a flashlight to cook everything to perfection without a single complaint. Once set up, they stayed an additional 2 hours to keep serving our guests (because trust me, people went back for seconds and thirds).
We received rave reviews from our guests about the food, even from super foodie and picky patrons who know what good, traditional tacos should taste like. I am so happy I did my research on Unilocal and found Del Mar Taco Co. because I will look no further when it comes to great, catered Mexican fare.
Communication was great and clear with Oscar before the event and after. Be sure to try your best and book in advance as I know this business is growing strong by word of mouth (and Unilocal). I reached out 2 months ahead of time and had no issue booking my event. To me, pricing is super fair and a great value for what you receive. A++++. Thanks, Oscar and team!

Well another great review for Del mar tacos. It was very easy he pulled up set up and cooked and served no hassle no questions. The food was great full of flavor and fresh. It was my sons 14^th birthday and he loves Mexican food so we said why not and it was a great choice. The service was friendly and professional and he was on time with set up. Thanks again for making my sons birthday great.

Had the pleasure of working with Del Mar Taco Co. to cater my Sept. 26^th wedding for 40 people. We ordered elotes, ceviche, and quesadilas for appetizers, and fish, pastor, and carne asada tacos for the entrée. We also ordered margaritas. The food was fantastic, as were the margaritas, and all of our guests thought it was outstanding. Oscar was great to work with both prior to and during the actual event, as were his staff. His set-​up looked great, he was punctual, everything was as promised, and he was really friendly with all of our guests. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or better food. Thanks Oscar! Might have a kid just so we can get him to cater the baby shower :)

Oscar was so helpful and easy to work with! His crew catered an amazing spread! The tacos and quesadillas were amazing! Highly recommend this catering company! Thank you Oscar!

Oscar and his helper arrived on time and did an great job seetting up their work station. Oscar had decorative table cloths and even some plants for a great effect. His food was perfectly cooked and ready for all of my guests. The guests did straggle a bit and he was able to keep everything fresh and hot. I would not hesitate to use him again. He even gave me the leftovers in tidy tins ready for my fridge. looks like we will have chicken-​tortilla rice soup for dinner tonight.

We had Oscar cater our wedding and we were sooooo glad we did. The food was absolutely amazing. We had the Adobada, carne asada and grilled chicken tacos with a salsa and appetizer bar. Oscar was super easy to work with and his staff were really nice. They set everything up beautifully and over all was a great experience. I plan on contacting them again in the future for other events. I highly recommend to anyone looking for great service and awesome food.

Oscar and his crew were awesome! When I first contacted Oscar about catering my son’s wedding he met us at the venue with samples, and they were delicious! I actually told my son, «he’s the first one we’re meeting with so don’t jump into anything», but by the time Oscar had gotten to his car we decided we had found our caterer. His food was delicious, his set up was awesome, his staff was excellent, and all night wedding guests were coming up to me and telling me how delicious everything was. Thank you Oscar! We will be back!!!

We had Oscar cater our baby shower and he was absolutely amazing. He made the best tacos! He was so nice and was great with all of the guests. We have now found the «go to» taco man in all of san diego!
Thank you so much Oscar you are the best!

Oscar is great and the food is amazing! Oscar recently catered my son’s 1^st year birthday party for about 40 people. He was very professional, courteous and timely. We met up a few weeks prior to the event where he brought me 5 different tacos to sample along with rice, beans, guac, drinks — the works. The carnitas were my fav. His spread was lovely which impressed my guests. Highly recommend! Thanks Oscar!

Best guys to do business with!!! We had a small wedding celebration and needed a fun and easy option to serve about 20 people. We contacted Del Mar… Told them what we needed and after a few more questions we were set for the big day.
The day of the event they were right on time! Though the name of the gentleman escapes me. I was so busy with our guest that once I finally did look over the food was set up (beautifully by the way) and my guest were enjoying some of «the best tacos» they ever had.
The party ran late so they picked up their equipment the following morning. Again right on time. The same gentleman grabbed his equipment while chatting about how the party went and who we were taking in the Super Bowl (yes. It happened to be Super Bowl Sunday). He was so fast and everything was so easy I couldn’t believe it! On his way out he even grabbed a trash bag ready to be taken out. Best service around. Also AMAZING vegetarian options. Wish I could give them a few more stars solely based on that!

Honestly cannot say enough about this company! We had them cater our sons 1^st birthday party yesterday and the food was Phenomenal! The service was Perfect! And you can be sure that they will be our go to cater company from now on! Highly recommend them! Thanks so much!

I decided to hire Del Mar Taco Company for my boyfriend’s 50^th Birthday Surprise Party after reading, and only reading, the Unilocal reviews. I called and spoke with Oscar and told him about my plan for the party and that I would have approximately 30 people attending. He had no problem with that. He gave me a quote and penciled me in. No deposit was necessary. One phone call and I could focus on planning the party without having to worry about the food.
Of course, the 10-​day forecast calls for rain the day of the party. Ugh! The day prior to the party, I spoke with Oscar. He told me he had been watching the weather and told me not to worry that he would bring a tent. The day of the party, it rained a lot up until about two hours prior to the party and then it stopped. Needless to say, I was a little stressed out because the party was taking place outside. We were prepared for the rain, but it turned out we had nothing to worry about.
Oscar arrived on time, set everything up and started cooking. He took care of everything to do with the food. The set-​up and presentation was great. He even walked around serving quesadillas to my guests. The party was awesome and so was the food. I am THRILLED that I made the decision to hire Oscar. He went above and beyond what was necessary. And, I don’t believe the party would have been as fun had I not hired Del Mar Taco Company. There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh food being prepared in front of you.
After the party, I received «thank you» notes and each said the food was awesome. Thank you, Oscar, for making my boyfriend’s party such a huge success and for taking care of all of the food which allowed me to actually enjoy the party.
If you are having a party and thinking about hiring Oscar and Del Mar Taco Company, I would highly, highly recommend it!

We used Del Mar Tacos for our party & I am very happy we did. The tacos were delicious. I think they are reasonably priced as well. Oscar always responded to my questions promptly. I will definitely use them again & had friends who were also impressed with them & requested their info for their parties. Thank you again Oscar!

My husband and I just got married about 2 weeks ago. We hired Oscar and his brother and wife to cater our outdoor, beachside wedding in Del Mar. My husband and I were working on a tight budget and trying to find something delicious and affordable. Since it was a summer, afternoon wedding, we decided that a taco bar would be an excellent choice. We met with Oscar several months ago. He was very kind, professional, and helpful. We hired him before we had even tasted any of his food.
About 2 months ago, we met with Oscar and were given a bunch of samples of tacos for the wedding, along with rice, beans, salsa, and guacamole. We did not even know which to chose! They were ALLLLLLLL the most delicious tacos we have ever eaten. We decided to go with a fish, chicken, and pork option, as well as chips, salsa, guac, and quesadillas for appetizers. We have several family members who are vegetarian and I have a horrible onion allergy. Oscar was able to do soy carne asada for the vegetarians and onion free versions of the guac and salsa for me.
Oscar also made 5 gallons of margaritas. I wish I had known those were going to be such a hit because they were gone quickly and we had a lot of left over beer. I wish I had ordered 10 gallons because everything that Oscar brought to our wedding was a success!!!
My husband and I were utterly delighted to hear nearly every guest gushing about the food. We have been to and been in a lot of weddings and the one thing we thought about was how every wedding has something you eat because it is served but never leaves you with the feeling you wished you could eat it again. We wanted to completely blow our guests away with our food choice and Oscar and his family completely rocked it for us! We just wish we had had more time to eat this awesome food ourselves!
Oscar was terrific. He was there with everything ready on-​time, he showed up to meetings as scheduled, he emailed and texted as needed, which really made me feel more comfortable since I did not want to track someone down all the time. Our venue was very strict with liquor licenses, cooking equipment, etc. and Oscar worked very well with our venue company to make sure everyone was satisfied. Planning a wedding has a lot of hiccups in communication, and Oscar made this relationship smooth and professional, as well as delicious.
Please, please take my advice and hire Oscar and the Del Mar Taco company for any type of event in which you want amazing Mexican food. We really hope we can meet up with him in the future and eat more tacos! You will want to come back for more too!

We had Del Mar Taco at our house last night for 2^nd time in 6 months. Perfect choice from start to finish. Amazing food, reasonably priced, perfect service from our 2 servers. Plenty of food for our group and they left enough for breakfast! Perfect choice for authentic (but gourmet) street tacos prepared on site. Everybody loved it!
Thank you for a perfect party, we already have another event in mind! Thank you!

Oscar did my baby’s first birthday and it was amazing. People couldn’t stop talking about how great the food was. I will definitely be hiring them again to cater a party. Not only is Oscar and his brother super personable but the food is delicious. We had carne asada, chicken, and fish tacos. They were all high quality. Even my French husband who isn’t a fan of Mexican food and never says anything other than it’s ok when it comes to food outside France said the tacos were good and that he liked the rice and beans. I couldn’t believe my ears. Wonderful food and great service at a good price not much more you can ask for.

***UPDATE***
My Wife and I hired Del Mar Tacos to cater our wedding in Mission Beach. We met and reviewed Oscar and his food before, but since we had the wedding, there is more to say…
Oscar and his helper were 100% FANTASTIC! First off, they service was impeccable and every guest knew it. Also, they arrived on time, set up without anyone even noticing, and began serving very quickly.
As for the food, I tried one bite of the fish, carne asada, and pollo adobada, and they were amazing. It was my wedding, so I barely ate anything else all day. The guests have been raving about how great the food was, and how awesome the staff was to help them customize the tacos to their liking.
The East Coasters loved it, and the local Mexican crowd both said they were amazing tacos and quesadillas. Thanks again to Oscar for really making it happen on our wedding day. He’s a good dude, I emphatically recommend you book him for any event you need catered.
My Fiancée and I went to try out Del Mar Taco at the St. Archer Brewery in the Miramar area. We were there strictly for taco tasting in hopes of finding the caterer for our wedding. We arrived to find a smile and a great looking display of salsas and meats.
Oscar, the proprietor, makes the tacos right there in front of you and then you can load it up with salsas and fresh guacamole.
Overall, outstanding tacos, and I look forward to writing another review after our wedding. Thanks Oscar!
