Killer Tacos OC absolutely lives up to the name. Alberto and his wife Vicky run the show, and you can tell they put real care into everything they serve. The tacos aren't your average street tacos -- they're premium, loaded with flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. We had them for a party and everyone was blown away. Guests kept going back for seconds (and thirds), and I lost count of how many people asked me who made the food. The setup was smooth, the presentation was great, and Alberto and Vicky were warm, professional, and easy to work with. If you want tacos that impress a crowd and feel a cut above, Killer Tacos OC is the move. read more

The tacos at this business are beyond incredible. We recently hired them at our company for a work event. I can't get over how good the quality of food was and how hospitable the people were that made it. I really wish they had a restaurant I could go to pick up more! read more

Alberto and his team are fantastic and provide an amazing service. They catered a work event of mine and exceeded all of my expectations! The food was amazing, their team was attentive and kind, and they had everything handled with set-up and breakdown. The whole experience was wonderful. Don't think twice about booking them! read more

Killer Tacos is truly amazing. I would absolutely recommend them for any event/party. The food is so fresh and so high quality. I normally don't like taco catering because I feel like the meat is always lacking in flavor/quality/freshness, but Killer Tacos knocks it out of the park. I've had their chicken and carne asada and both were so delicious. Also their guacamole, grilled veggies and margaritas are to die for. His jalapeño margarita is honestly better than any I've had at restaurants. Alberto (the owner) and his crew are the most friendly and professional staff you could ever ask for. Also, they took every possible precaution to make sure things were sanitized constantly/ wore masks and gloves at all times. If you are looking for catered Mexican food for a party or event you need to call Alberto, you absolutely will not regret it. read more

We've used Killer Tacos twice for parties at our home, and the response from our guests was outstanding. They couldn't stop raving about the tacos! Alberto uses super fresh, high-quality ingredients..."Prime" meat for his steak tacos and fish from Santa Monica Seafood for his fish tacos. Flavor is the key to Alberto's Killer Tacos. I've been to so many parties where tacos were catered, and like another reviewer mention, the tacos lacked flavor, freshness and quality. Also, I've also been to Alberto's 'Killer Taco' food truck in Costa Mesa several times. Just like his catering, the food was amazing, and I challenge you to find a more pristine food truck anywhere...it's spotless! Lastly, I found out on my last trip to the taco truck that they offer delivery via Door Dash. read more

Amazing, amazing food and very friendly staff. Alberto was fantastic!!! The pork is to die for and the steak is fantastic. Margaritas were so tasty. High end service, high end quality. Thank you Alberto and team!!! read more

Wow, where do I even begin? Killer Tacos has absolutely blown my taste buds away! I've visited their taco truck not just once, not twice, but three times this week alone, and each time has been amazing. The variety and creativity in their taco offerings are unparalleled. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the fresh fish and salsas, every bite is like a culinary masterpiece. I can't get enough of their unique flavor combinations that take traditional tacos to a whole new level of deliciousness. Killer Tacos, please, PLEASE open a restaurant! The locals deserve a dedicated space where we can indulge in your mouthwatering tacos, share the experience with friends and family, and savor every moment of taco ecstasy. To anyone reading this review: do yourself a favor and track down the Killer Tacos truck. You won't regret it. :) read more

We just had the pleasure of Killer Tacos catering our housewarming party in Huntington Beach, and we could not be happier with everything! Alberto is the BEST! From booking to cleanup, everything was flawless. His crew showed up on time to set up, made a beautiful and professional spread. He even jumped in to help pick up the slack when our bartender (booked separately not affiliated with Killer Tacos) showed up late for set up. They were so attentive to our guests, making sure everyone got enough to eat and that trash was cleared. The food was perfection and everyone was raving about it. We will definitely be hiring them for all future party events when we need catering. Thank you for taking the stress off me guys! read more

Wow, real Mexican tacos exist in OC?!We were shopping for bikes at "Two Wheels, One Planet" and "Killer Tacos" were there sharing their tacos for everyone for free. I was about to pay and they say "No, it is on us". Wow, super amazing and the guacamole was really yummy too. I had their carne asada and hubby had the pollo. We both loved it. I really loved their pickled pink onion, it added flavor. Alberto the owner was real nice. We will def. use them for our next big gathering. read more

We got the taco macho which was so good. Their tortillas are homemade. Alberto and his wife are great. Looking forward to going back soon and trying the rest of the menu!! read more

Had the luck of running into this taco truck in Costa Mesa today (and apparently this will be their semi permanent location). Hands down some of the best tacos I've ever had (and I've had plenty). The Macho Taco is amazing!! Even to someone with an aversion to spicy foods, it burned just right ‍ Do yourself a favor when visiting this spot, pair your food with an horchata to wash it down, it's made from scratch and rounds out the flavor of the food fantastically. Can't wait to go back and try their other offerings! read more

Best tacos you'll have, forget about it you won't find anything better then Killer Tacos! The Ceviche was by far the best and the Tacos were amazing and you'll get some amazing margaritas as well. read more

Just went to this taco truck for the first time and you know it's good when the person in front of you knows the cooks by name and the line behind you keeps growing. They didn't have fish or shrimp tacos on the menu but they offered them too me saying I'd be the first tip try it. The food was amazing!!! The salsa was a little hot for my whiteness but overall will be back!!! read more

We had an awesome baby shower event last weekend! Alberto and his wife were great! Everyone made comments how perfect the food was - so fresh! Prepared that morning!

We will calling them back for other events in the future! Thank you, Alberto! Superb!!! And they maintained COVID-safe protocols. read more

I took a chance on Killer Tacos because of all the great reviews here, and those reviews do not lie! I had a book publication party this past weekend, and Vicki and Manuel (and their tacos!) made the event memorable. (Alberto catered another event nearby.) In addition to their amazing tacos, the cheese quesadillas were a huge hit. And then there's the ceviche. Unbelievable! I will never eat ceviche again without comparing it to the culinary wonder Vicki served up. About the service itself: it was on time, friendly and efficient, exactly what I wanted. I couldn't have asked for more. Do yourself a favor and hire Killer Tacos for your next event! read more

Alberto and team were great! Omg. I haven't had a taco so good since I was in Mexico. And can we talk about those flour tortillas!!! Sooo good. Homemade!! I had them at my daughters birthday and they served tacos and margaritas. Everyone raved about how good the tacos and drinks were. Alberto is also good people. Very pleasant I will use him for all of my parties. That is how good he is. Thank you Alberto!! read more

Amazing! My party attendees LOVED the food! Vicky and crew were lovely! Highly recommend!

Hands down, BEST TACO IN TOWN!! The menu might be short, but every item has quality ingredients... the Taco Macho and Veggie Taco take the prize read more

I hired Alberto to cater our corporate event party for about 50 people. He showed up right on time, the food was outstanding, and him and his team were incredible. He We had delicious fish ceviche, and the carne asada was the best I've ever tasted! Everything was so fresh with high quality ingredients, everyone was raving about how great the food was. Not only was the food amazing, but he was so easy to work with. I hope to hire him again for our next event, and can't recommend him enough! Thank you Alberto! read more

I wish I could give this company more than 5 stars. If you can get Alberto and Vicki to cater your event, then absolutely positively do it! The tacos are incredible yes--every guest commented on how delicious they were--but let's not forget about the shrimp ceviche, the fresh guacamole, the quesadillas, the fresh salsa and the delicious margaritas also. These were better than Cadillac margaritas I've had at fancy restaurants. The meats were all cooked perfectly--so juicy and flavorful. Killer Tacos has the food dialed in. It was mind-blowingly good. I can't shut up about how good it was. Alberto exceeded my expectations on service also, and the setup looked fantastic. The guests were so impressed and well taken care of. Then they wrapped up all the leftovers and saved them for me. His crew was also wonderful--so professional and warm and thoughtful. I liked them immediately. I would have a hard time using another caterer after this experience because we were so spoiled and well taken care of. They attended to and anticipated our every desire. Plus I'm already jonesing for those flavors from last night. So stop everything, throw a party, and get Killer Tacos to do it while you still can. I feel like this guy is headed for celebrity chefdom and may get too busy to put on a private restaurant at our house. His restaurant will open soon in Costa Mesa and we'll be there. In the meantime, we're lucky to have Killer Tacos catering. Thanks, Alberto and Vicki! read more

Very good tacos but a little pricy at 5-6 dollars a taco. The sauce was decent but they did give a lot of meat.

We had them cater our get together and they were perfect. We had them get carne asada, chicken, and shrimp and they all tastes delicious. And now because of us they know what halal is so if that is a requirement for your event let them know and they will know what it is. The carne asada was delicious. The shrimps were big and juicy. And the chicken was juicy. Not dry what so over. Even the leftovers we ate the next few days were not dry. Their salsa and guacamole were also really good as well. And they dishes they used for them were well designed. I would definitely recommend them to everyone. read more

Holy cow. The best tacos I've had in awhile. Got this on a whim after a quick trip to target and was blown away by how fresh and flavorful everything was. I had the macho and junior taco. The guacamole was perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend read more

They came to St.Michael Abbey's church several months ago. Everyone loved the food, including me, and I told them I would give them a 5-star review on Yelp, because they deserved it.

I was looking on Yelp to get a taco cart for a party in the backyard and came across Killer Tacos. From the beginning it has been a great experience, Alberto was very responsive and answered to all my questions. He even came to our house to help me choose the spot for the taco cart. At the party the food was delicious, all guests went for seconds and his setup was really nice. I will definitely contact them again for our next party! read more

Killer Tacos OC is not your average taco cart!! Alberto and his team catered our engagement party at our home in San Clemente a few weeks ago and it could not have gone better. He is based in Costa Mesa but he still made the trek down to our home with his team and all of his equipment and supplies. We literally didn't have to think about a thing -- he provided everything, and his set up looks very professional and elegant. He even brought the best margarita mix we've ever had! We had about 30 people and ALL of our guests raved about the food. Every single one. Alberto cooks everything in stages - we started with delicious quesadillas, then moved on to ceviche, taquitos, and finally shrimp, pork, and carne asada tacos. All of the tacos were made fresh to order, exactly to each guests liking. Alberto comes with all the toppings too. His normal package includes options for vegetarians and gluten free guests. He also accommodated my request to bring salad, which of course no one ate because the rest of the food was so amazing! We ate for hours, and still had leftovers, which Alberto and his team packaged up for us to enjoy the next day. Not only was the food delicious, but Alberto and his team were a wonderful presence at our party. He and his wife are friendly and personable, and very respectful. You can tell they love to bring people together with food. Alberto was very communicative during the planning process as well and answered all of my questions promptly... he really made everything so easy. If you are looking for an elevated experience for your guests, Killer Tacos is the right choice. This is high end, authentic Mexican food -- everything is cooked to order with the freshest ingredients, and served with style and grace. I just hope Alberto will have availability next time we need him, because I'll never want to hire anyone else!! read more

Killer Tacos OC - They aren't kidding when they say "killer". These are sooo tasty! - Caterers Near Me

Having just hired a taco cart for a party of my own, it was interesting to see such a drastic comparison in service and quality of food at another "taco guy" party. My taco guy was the type you would expect, with the stainless cart, cooking away Baja style street tacos with the usual condiments, all served up on disposable plates and topped with mild sauces and an allotted serving time of two hours. The Waiter, otherwise known as Alberto Hernandez, was not this type of taco guy. Perhaps he possesses the ability to deliver average food and service, but not this night. This party featured Alberto watching over his cook while he grilled fresh skirt steak atop a 60" Wolf range; not his of course, but attached to the homeowner's kitchen. This is his typical mode, cooking inside the home of the party host. The tacos were served on real plates, with fresh, made-that-day corn tortillas; not the small doubled up type, but regular sized torts with plentiful delicious and tender meat. The meat alone was fantastic, and worthy of a restaurant steak, a good one. All this comes at a price, of course, but impressive nonetheless. Alberto stressed that his tacos were "Sonoran" style, differentiating from the small Baja types. Atop the enormous kitchen island were all the condiments, which were all fresh and delicious. The red salsa was decidedly mild, with just a hint of a kick, perfect for this type of crowd. I spoke with Alberto at length about his food, and he stressed the importance of gauging the partygoers. He had recently catered a party for an Hispanic crowd, and naturally made salsa with a lot more heat for them. The tacos: Like I said, fresh and delicious choice grade skirt, tender and pink, and nice and hot to order. Soft and fresh tortillas. The beef tacos were served plain, with the choice of toppings, if any, left to the eater. These were worthy of five stars. I tried one with the condiments of cilantro and onion, and tried one with the salsa, but just couldn't justify bastardizing that meat. It was too good. Shrimp tacos: Also delicious, and made to order. Several large shrimp were served in the same soft corn tortilla with tender diced red and green bell pepper, and a little julienned green onion. These tasted of Vera Cruz, and the shrimp flavor wasn't at all lost, rather enhanced. Really good. Guacamole: Really as good as it gets. Quesadillas: He made these fresh for the kids, and they were devoured. The amount of cheese is generous. The preparation was simple, but the result was quite popular, even some parents sneaking a bite from their kids' plates and giving a nod of approval while chewing. (I was one of these parents.) Service: Alberto made himself available to guests inside the house, as well as those outside who were busy watching the Christmas boat parade in Lido. It was nice not having to stand in a long irritating taco line. Alberto took orders and delivered his tacos with a smile. His cook was equally professional and well groomed, as was another helper who appeared to be helping with additional prep and cleanup. The prep for my own taco party included an hour of setup. Alberto told me his prep starts at five AM for an evening party. Service is typically two hours for taco partys. The Waiter had no time limit, nor any limit on food. Granted, this wasn't your typical taco party, and was clearly catering to an upscale clientele. I was there for about four hours, and Alberto was there long before me, and was still cooking away when I left. I really couldn't give a higher recommendation. For this level of service, I think there were around 70 guests, Alberto charged $14 per person, which was exactly double what I paid for my taco guy, who showed up two hours late, by the way. You get what you pay for and, in this case, the value was clearly present. If you think taco catering is too lowbrow for a cocktail party, you haven't been to one catered by The Waiter (Alberto). Just an FYI: The Waiter does both inside and outside catering, and also caters bacon-wrapped hot dogs, BBQ, and hot dogs and hamburgers. I haven't tried any of these, but he has that info on his business card. They also offer full service. read more
