I want to start this review stating, I do not eat fish unless it is battered and fried. So, naturally, the only way I'll eat a fish taco is a battered and fried fish taco. I ordered the chipotle fish taco, not knowing it was not a fried fish taco. I was hesitant, but after I took my first bite... I couldn't believe how insanely delicious this taco was!!!! Not only was it absolutely flavorful... it was a large fish taco!!! So many good flavors! The fish was not fishy or mushy and was seasoned and possibly pan fried to give a texture contrast. The chipotle sauce was yummy and had that kick that I love. Loved all the fresh toppings too which makes a fish taco so yummy and balanced! We all ordered something different. My daughter ordered the Baja style and the ginger fish taco! She said she could eat probably 4 more that they were that good! My youngest, who is not a fish person ordered a plain carnitas and she was impressed! Last, but definitely not least... I have to mention the staff! Hector and staff were so nice and friendly, which I always appreciate! Will definitely be seeing them again to eat more fish tacos! I'm so impressed with their fish tacos (not battered and fried btw) that I must try their others! It's funny cause my mom can't even get me to eat fish like that... haha!!!! read more

We hired Hector and his crew for our annual company picnic this last weekend. First and foremost - we got nothing but RAVE reviews from our attendees. Everyone absolutely loved the food and had nothing but nice things to say about the folks working the food tent. We had the pleasure of working with Hector Jr., Mia and Josh. All three were so wonderful and friendly to work with. I have had Casanova fish tacos at my previous employer and they absolutely did not disappoint this time around. Thank you Hector and crew! You guys are phenomenal and I can't wait to hire you for another event! :) read more

My husband and I recently had Casanova cater our family wedding reception, as well as a second celebration with friends a week later. Hector and company are by FAR the most professional and reliable catering company we've ever encountered. The tacos are BEYOND fabulous, every bite better than the last. Our guests went absolutely crazy for them and are still talking about how delicious they tasted. We chose the following: Ginger glazed fish tacos (think of amazing sushi flavors inside a corn tortilla), Baja style (beer battered and fried) fish tacos, and carnitas with a spicy chipotle sauce. It was complete with beans, rice, and the greenest guacamole I've ever seen! I hope they will open a storefront sooner rather than later, as I would go there regularly. I would highly recommend their fantastic catering services to everyone. read more

At Loma Club on a Friday night watching Fish & the Seaweeds (Mark Fisher), and what goes better with that than fresh fish tacos. And of my goodness. One bite, and my husband said, "these are some of the vest fish tacos I've had in San Diego!" And I had to agree. The batter fried Baja fish tacos are out of this world, tender fish, crispy, fluffy batter, and amazingly fresh snd flavorful toppings. The Asian teriyaki ginger grilled fish tacos were incredible too, as were the Chipotle ones. You can order with flour or corn tortillas; the flour ones were fresh and wonderful. Will absolutely be coming back next time they're nearby! read more

Hector and Carlos with Casanova Fish Tacos were amazing! We had some dietary needs (vegetarian) to go along with the outstanding fish and chicken tacos and he accommodated without hesitation. Their follow up with planning was timely and they were prompt and well set up in time for our family reunion -- even Googling our location to make sure their set up fit in with our ambience. Their personalities were amazing and the food was absolutely fabulous -- everyone loved it! Thank you Hector! read more

What a wonderful catering business! My husband and I met Hector at the yearly Bridal Bazaar (when they used to have those) and out of the many vendors that were there, we were hypnotized by the tasting. Hector is extremely affable, yet humble - often treating prospective customers like they are already family. I feel like Hector should also be known as "the Taco Craftsman" because everything he makes is extremely delicious. I told Hector that he should be on Top Chef, because his food made me understand what it means to have a "well balanced dish" with "clean flavors." If you can have him at your event, it is like having high class catering with great service to add. read more

Casanova fish tacos has it all!! Excellent service, amazing food, and a professional team. Our family favorites are the original fish taco and the sweet ginger. Of course everything is absolutely delicious!! No other tacos out there like Casanova!! Highly recommend for any event! read more

This is not my first review for Casanova Fish Tacos but I just HAD to review his latest venture. With the pandemic causing small businesses all over the state to go under, Hector stepped up his game. He started these popup events with other small restaurants. You stay in your car, you choose from several local small restaurants menus and they bring the food to you. I am more than willing to drive all the way out to the event because the food is worth it! I love the variety and the opportunity to help other small businesses. I highly recommend making your way to one of these all day pop-ups. I prefer to hit them early in the day because the lines get long. But one shrimp burrito from Casanova will keep me full ALL day long! The amount of shrimp in that burrito is insane! Go check them out! You won't be disappointed. And kudos to Hector for bringing everyone together to support each other! read more

We hosted a pop-up event with Hector and his crew at our house and everybody absolutely raved about the tacos. His team were amazing, working in some very high heat and still serving with a smile. These are definitely chef-inspired fish tacos, with flavors you wouldn't expect but that make your mouth very happy. read more

Casanova fish tacos is just next level fish tacos. Once you have tried them you will know what I'm talking about! They are so delicious, fulfilling, and so well constructed. From the batter, to the way it's cooked, to the toppings, and the salsa. I highly recommend, they never disappoint! read more

Did you know you can just have Casanova Fish Tacos set up in your driveway one day? I had the opportunity to enjoy some tacos in a friend's backyard, just steps away from the Casanova pick-up window. I was eager to try the Ginger Fish taco everyone raves about. I got the Rotisserie Style Chicken and Chipotle Shrimp tacos to compare the three. I was surprised all of the tacos were absolutely stuffed with perfectly-cooked meat. Follow their social media to catch them at their next pop/up. They're often at breweries when not in a driveway! read more

Casanova Fish Tacos was a big hit at my wedding! I cannot recommend them enough! Hector had great communication with us through the entire time leading up to our wedding day. We told some of our guests prior to the wedding we were having gourmet tacos and Hector and the team did not disappoint. They were on time, kind, they provided an AMAZING experience. Their setup was beautiful and paired perfectly with our modern/rustic wedding style. The tacos were out of this world great and I know tacos (born and raised in San Diego, CA). Thank you Hector, I hope we have another event in San Diego to have the opportunity to work with you and the team again. We appreciate more than we could ever say. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Hector catered my birthday this past week and his setup and food were perfect. My guests loved his food and have been nonstop about it since. Loved working with hector and his son JR definitely going to book him for another event read more

Hector and crew were at my office today and when I walked up and saw the price of a burrito, I walked away. While walking I looked him up on Yelp and saw 5 starts so I finished my walk and went back. I flat out said (jokingly)"for $15 this better be the best fish taco I'd ever had!" Hector....best fish (burrito) I've ever had. The flavors were poppin! read more

I don't normally write a review before I have experienced the persons service but in this case I feel compelled to. A few months ago I wrote Hector about catering a VIP event for me. He was extremely responsive and quick on the email and worked to help me put together the event. As I was confirming everything with all vendors I realized I put the wrong date in! With a week to spare Hector came to the rescue and changed everything! His communication is outstanding! Soooo- fast forward to today when we had the event! I called Hector 5 hours prior to the start and bumped up our numbers by 25! He was so accommodating- ( by this time I would have been done with me! ) the event was awesome! So many people raved about the food and service! I can't say enough about how impressed I am! Thanks again Hector! Hope to use your services again! read more

Hands down...Best.Fish Tacos.EVER! And Hector is the icing on the cake. He is professional, personable and truly wants what is best for his customers. I hired him for a huge catering event pre-covid and it could not have been better. Hector and his crew dished out fresh, hot tacos and the taste and quality were over the top. We were so glad to have Casanova Tacos represent San Diego to about 300 out of town guests. Now since covid, I have purchased family packs that are fresh and packaged ready to go home and cook. In 5 minutes you can have a hot dinner. I also follow him around town where is making tacos in neighborhoods and at breweries right now. My personal favorite is the sweet ginger fish or shrimp tacos and the shrimp ceviche! Hire him for your next event or do a "taste test" at one of his spots...you won't be disappointed. Oh, and during covid, he fed frontline workers too! read more

If you are looking for a delicious and safe caterer for your next event look no further. We had tasted their tacos at their taco truck location and were looking for a safe option for a 60th birthday. Casanova went above and beyond. First of all the food was incredible! Appetizers were corn and ceviche and 4 taco options. Their set up was incredible and made it SO easy on the host. They arrived an hour before the event and brought everything they needed to cook the food ON site to ensure freshness. The chefs were located behind plexiglass. They had individually wrapped silverware and hand sanitizer available. At the end of the evening they cleaned everything up and our guests were left raving about the flavors of their tacos. Especially during covid, as a host you are looking for a company that not only has superb food but holds themselves to the highest safety standards. Look no further than Casanova. Incredibly professional, delicious and safe catering! read more
