I've had El Chilote taco catering a few times now, and it never disappoints. I recently used them for a party, and they were a huge hit with everyone--multiple people were asking me for their info by the end of the night. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with a lot of care. The citrus chicken is hands down my favorite--super juicy with the perfect balance of tangy and savory. And the cilantro lime sauce? Absolutely amazing. It ties everything together and adds such a fresh, bright kick to the tacos. On top of the food, the service is always friendly, professional, and easy to work with. You can really tell there's passion behind what they do. Highly recommend El Chilote if you're looking for catering that people will actually rave about. I'll definitely be ordering again! read more

Let me start off by saying, we first tried Chilote at a Brewery in Pico Rivera called Brewjeria. I instantly feel in love with the tacos de nopal and pollo. Tortillas made from fresh corn masa( purple and yellow) Then came the smash chorizo tacos! So delicious and flavorful! And you cannot forget his Birria tacos , and mulitas, honestly the man does it all. And it's ALL DELICIOUS!!!! So we knew who we wanted to cater our Mother's Day brunch , We can't thank you enough for a great event with delicious food!!! read more

These are my go to tacos and no one can ever convince me otherwise. We've had El Chilote cater two weddings, 5 parties and every time has been the best quality and best service. We always try and visit their pop ups, and they bring the chillest vibes. Bringing friendly faces, bomb food, and the most helpful hands anyone can ask for. If you're needing a taquero, or just needing some love in food form, try them. Guaranteed you'll leave with your pansa full, and will want to take some food to go. read more

El Chilote is the epitemy of great tacos with nothing but the freshest ingredients. It's elevated beyond just a tortilla and well seasoned meat. He usually has several pop ups in different breweries throughout the week, so be sure to follow his ig page to get his schedule @el_chilotemex They have handmade tortillas, their chicken tacos on the blue corn tortilla is my favorite! They also have vegan options, the most delicious salsas and toppings, meat never overcooked. Honestly, their tacos are some of the most vibrant, simple and fresh ingredients being taken to another level. They are always creative with their menu and sometime have tacos de nopales. The owner knows his ingredients and is knowledgeable about what works. The girls who work their are also so kind, with a smile, very welcoming. It's always a chill and fun vibe having a taco and a beer. Def a taco spot i'd recommend. Ditch the bland and embrace the fresh. Life is too short for lame tacos and tasteless toppings. read more

Came for the food, stayed for the beer. I was excited to try the food and it did not disappoint. The Al pastor wings were my boyfriend's favorite: super crunchy as you take that bite and the Al pastor sauce on them was super flavorful and juicy. The tacos Gobernador: wow. First of all, I love shrimp so this in a taco with melted cheese?!? Wow. It was amazing. The pickled onions to top it definitely added some awesome texture. The chorizo smash taco: super flavorful and juicy as you take a bite. Crunchy flavor on the outside, Texture is everything. It's a very meaty taco too! The birria taco: man where do I start.. super flavorful. My favorite of them all to be honest. The meat tastes fresh and it's on a hand- made tortilla?! I recommend trying this place, honestly it's very flavorful, truly authentic, and worth every penny! Love the creative twist to authentic Mexican food. read more

We have been enjoying El Chilote's pop ups at different breweries for year! Delicious food and great customer service every single time. When deciding on a caterer for our baby shower, choosing El Chilote was a no brainer. One, because I absolutely love tacos and their homemade tortillas are mouthwatering, but also their attention to detail when it comes to quality meats and toppings is unmatched. We chose three meat options, asada, chicken, and pastor, with ceviche as an appetizer, rice, beans, and a Jamaica drink. Everything was delicious. Their setup was organized, clean, and we loved their terracotta serving dishes and their service was so friendly and polite. Would choose them over and over again for any future events. read more

El Chilote was serving food at Evans Brewing Co. in Corona, CA on Friday night. Since it was a Friday during Lent, I only tried their shrimp tacos...and they were amazing. One thing that really set El Chilote apart from other tacos spots is all their tortillas are handmade. The shrimp tacos came with their yellow corn tortilla. You can rally tell the difference in taste and texture with these handmade tortillas. There was cheese grilled onto the tortilla, and a tasty sauce added to the tacos. I ate the first one with out adding any of their red salsa, which was also very enjoyable. My wife got mulitas, one shrimp and one birria and enjoyed them both. I plan on trying these guys again and having some of their birria tacos so that I can try their blue corn tortillas. If you find them at a local brewery I would definitely suggest that you give them a try. read more

Met up with them at the Mt. Lowe's Brewery in Arcadia. Looking on Yelp first I was excited to see that they were serving Birria. Being the first time trying their food, I decided to try all three meats they offered in tacos: Birria, Chicken, and Shrimp. All were excellent! The Birria did not disappoint, so moist & tasty I forgot to ask about any consume. The chicken was also tasty, nicely grilled and seasoned. As for the shrimp, I was surprised it was presented in a quesadilla style tortilla shell, the shrimp were perfectly cooked with that light bite to it. Sorry I couldn't get a good photo as the outside eating area was dimly lit. Didn't get to try their Agua Frescas as I'd normally order with tacos, but will next time if I'm not having beer. Good job El Chilote! read more

The birria is amazing, I can't get enough of it, especially with the consomé dip and the handmade tortillas. I have eaten just about. Everything that is served on the menu and I strongly recommend the chicken tacos, the sauce that they use is out of this world. If you're lucky, he may have some ramen for birria ramen If you want good birria with handmade tortillas, you have to try this place. read more
