Kon-Tiki Taco is a must-book for your event! We booked them for our rehearsal dinner for our wedding and they traveled to LA to make delicious food onsite. They were incredibly easy to communicate with prior to the event. They also offered a tasting option, and we were able to drive to their restaurant in Pasadena and do a full tasting for a very reasonable price prior to our rehearsal dinner, which was an awesome feature! They have great selection of taco options that you can add to your personalized menu, including vegetarian options. The guests at our dinner were raving about how amazing the tacos were, and the delicious food truly helped to make this a perfect event. Highly recommend booking them for your event! read more

We booked Kon-Tiki for our wedding in LA and we have zero regrets! Daniel was organized, kind, and professional and made our lives a breeze. We were really keen on having good quality, affordable Mexican food at our wedding and I'm so glad we found Kon-Tiki through our venue. All of our guests commented on how good the food was! Such a rare thing to hear at a wedding honestly -- usually the food is forgettable or just "fine," but we got a LOT of positive feedback. People went back for seconds and thirds! Thank you Kon-Tiki for being a part of our magical day read more

Kon-Tiki Taco catered our wedding reception in Santa Barbara. The food and service the day of was excellent! However, we were disappointed with the communication leading up to the wedding. Kon Tiki was not forthcoming with information and we had to ask several clarifying questions. At times, it felt like I was puling teeth to get clear and sufficient responses. Unfortunately, this resulted is a miscommunication about the water that was to be provided. I had been told that our package would come with water dispensers, but these were not accessible to our guests during the event. This problem could have been avoided if Kon Tiki communicated where the water would be so we could inform our day of coordinator ahead of time. It was incredibly frustrating to see our guests without water and our coordinators urgently delivering plastic water containers that were generously bought by a guest when he discovered the problem. I recommend Kon-Tiki's food, but am hesitant to recommend them to anyone looking for a catering service for a large event. read more

So sooo delicious & incredibly easy to work with! We used Kon-Tiki Taco Catering for our backyard wedding in SoCal this October. They're super budget friendly and the tacos are to die for! We got compliments on them all night long. Our chef, Raymond, was very professional. He showed up on time and quietly set up as we held our ceremony in the backyard. We had the carne asada, chicken tinga, and grilled veggies. The rice, beans, and grilled veggie tacos are all vegan making it great for wedding guests on a plant-based diet. Definitely go for a taco-tasting to decide which tacos you'll want for your event! I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you Kon Tiki Tacos! read more

Kon-Tiki taco catered my wedding this past Friday! Daniel was so responsive and easy to work with since day 1. My husband and I did 2 in person tastings with them at their restaurant to choose our menu items. Everything we tasted was so delicious and they were one of our first wedding vendors we booked. On the day of our wedding they arrived on time and had great and quick service. We received a lot of compliments from our guests on how much they enjoyed the food. My husband and I got to eat most of the food at our wedding which was a nice surprise. Also the food stilled tasted as good as we remembered when we had our tasting so many months ago. read more

I am a wedding coordinator and I recently worked with the Kon-Tiki Taco Catering team on a wedding day up in Santa Barbara. Not only was the food delicious, the entire team on site were fantastic people to work with. We had some last minute changes that we needed to roll with amidst busy wedding season, but I couldn't have asked for a more positive, helpful, and supportive catering team to have as partners for the day. I would work with Raymond, Andrew, and Mark again in a heartbeat, and I highly recommend them and Kon-Tiki Taco Catering to any couples looking for a wedding day taco cart! read more

Catered our Wedding 10/27/23 at the Griffith House in Anaheim! They were a hit! Everyone loved everything. We loved that they had a tasting for us before booking. Their communication was fantastic! People got seconds! We also had a lot left over. They were on it with cleaning up! So quick that we didn't get a chance to say thank you . We, as the bride and groom didn't get a chance to try everything as we were getting pulled from all ends but what we had, we knew were already delicious. I wish I could relive that day and tell everyone to leave me alone so I can get my food! We ordered the elote salad that we got the last spoonful of but it was fantastic! 10/10 recommend read more

Andrew was excellent. Very friendly, organized and accommodating. There was plenty of food but flavor needed more salt and heat. The churros were the highlight. The evening was very successful. read more

Will definitely use them again for my future events. read more

Organized, friendly and professional. Great tasting food and wonderful service. We had 250 guest and planned an outdoor wedding reception. Our tasting was a wonderful experience - we got to taste a lot of options compare try the salsas the chips and really think about what our guests would like and what we would like. We like that there was a vegetarian option which we did select for one of the tacos. The overall experience was great everything from communication to planning to the execution of the three carts they provided with the wonderful service at each cart plenty of food and our guest had lots to say about the quality and presentation of all the food. My wife and I are happy this was part of our wedding reception we felt we got a great dinner for our guests for a very good value. read more

We recently held a wedding weekend kick-off party for about 40 friends and family members and hired Kon-Tiki Taco Catering to manage the food and bar for the event. Daniel was supremely helpful in organizing the menu and logistics. The event went flawlessly - I didn't have to do a thing regarding food and drinks, which was amazing. The team showed up right on time and were so friendly. They set up the space seamlessly, and graciously served fantastic food and margaritas to lots of happy guests. Everyone loved it, and I got to enjoy the evening instead of worrying about making sure all the guests were taken care of. I 100% recommend them! read more

I am blown away by Kon-Tiki Tacos. Their customer service was so fabulous. WE had our camp wedding in the middle of the desert with no address. I dropped our coordinates to Kon-Tiki and I could not believe it when they agreed to cater my event. I was worried how it would go but our cook, Stu, showed up right on time. It poured rain for probably 10 hours that day and Stu did not complain at all. He was so polite and friendly. It was absolutely amazing and all our friends and family said the same thing. The food was beyond delicious and set up so nicely. I will recommend Kon-Tiki to everyone I know and I really can't wait to use them again. Seriously the freaking best!! Kon-Tiki you nailed it! read more

Kon-Tiki Taco catered the dinner and appetizers for our outdoor wedding via a package we booked with Ebeling Events. We had the tostadas and quesadillas as appetizers, and also salad, rice, beans, and tacos. Everything was so tasty, well-organized, and looked really nice. We had 5-10 vegan and/or vegetarian guests at our wedding Kon-Tiki Taco's options were a natural fit for the special dietary needs without feeling like substitutions. They tweaked a couple of details per our request to help with that and everything turned out great! Super glad that we had them at our wedding as we love eating at Lost Parrot Cafe nearby. Yum! read more

Kon-Tiki Taco catered our wedding welcome event and they were fantastic! The food was delicious, the experience was seamless, and their customer service was exceptional.

The Kon-Tiki team was understanding, flexible, and accommodating throughout all of it. Plus they knocked it out of the park when the day finally came. Strongly encourage considering Kon-Tiki for any catering needs you may have. Daniel, Justin, and the rest of the Kon-Tiki team are awesome. :) read more
