Just had Lua's catering cater our groups event and they were terrific! They were professional, got there at the scheduled time and were a joy to work with. Salvador made sure our carne asada/ chicken, fajitas veggies / quesadillas and all the goodies were ready by the time our hungry guests were ready to eat. Several of our guests were vegan, gluten free and vegetarian, and this company made sure to honor all of those requests. Everyone raved about how good the food was. We will definitely be using this company again for any of our taco/Mexican food needs read more

We had an absolute nightmare experience with Lua's Taco Catering. We made our deposit well in advance and confirmed everything with them the day before our event, so there was no excuse for what happened next. On the day of the event (May 16, 2026) Lua's Tacos Catering was a complete no-call, no-show and ignored every message and call we made trying to reach them. We were left in a terrible position and had to scramble to find a local restaurant that can accommodate enough food at the last minute for our guests. To make it even worse, they have still not returned our deposit. This was beyond unprofessional, completely disrespectful, and caused unnecessary stress and embarrassment. Save yourself the stress and do not hire Lua's Tacos Catering company. read more

SCAM WARNING -- DO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY I had an extremely disappointing and stressful experience with this taco catering company. I paid a deposit well in advance for a party I had planned, and the night before the event I personally spoke with them and they confirmed they would arrive at my home at 4:30 PM the next day. The day of the event, they never showed up. After multiple calls and text messages, there was absolutely no answer or communication from anyone. I was left scrambling at the last minute trying to find food for my guests after relying on their confirmation just hours before. To make matters worse, they kept my deposit and completely stopped responding. Taking deposits, confirming services, and then disappearing with no communication is completely unacceptable and feels like a scam. DO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY unless you want to risk losing your money and having your event ruined. read more

NO SHOW!! Had this caterer booked for a huge event and they didn't even bother to show up. No call, no text, just plain no show. What a disaster they caused as our host had to scramble for food at the last minute. Stay far away from this business. They are completely unreliable and I see we are not the only ones who have experienced this situation. read more

No call...No show! What business does that? A friend hired Lua's Tacos for a huge family event over this past Saturday and they just didn't bother to show! read more

Note that the 5 star reviews have low review counts. With that said, these are awful tacos. Skimpy portions, slow to serve and they mix onions with the cilantro with more onions than cilantro. They didn't replenish the cucumbers and didn't have grilled onions or chilis. The meat is flavorless and has lots of gristle. read more

"I hired this company for an event on January 2nd and paid a $100 deposit. Since sending the payment, I have made numerous attempts to contact them to confirm receipt and finalize details. All of my calls and messages have gone unanswered for over two weeks. Due to the total lack of communication, I requested a cancellation and a full refund of my deposit. As of today, I have received no response and no refund. Whether this business is defunct or simply unprofessional, I strongly advise others to stay away. I am still waiting for my money to be returned." read more

They took our deposit for my father's memorial service this coming weekend but have not returned calls, texts, insta messages or emails. I now read other reviews that they are not in business or not responding to people. This is terrible. Now I have to find a new caterer for 2 days from now. Thank goodness I found this out before the day of the memorial, but this is awful. read more

Outstanding experience with this caterer. She showed up right on time and can't believe it was a 1-woman show! Very professional, but most importantly, the food was on point. Only regret was not ordering more of that delicious guac. Be sure to have containers ready for whatever leftover food, if any :) read more

The tacos were a hit at my son's birthday party. They came earlier than expected but still served in the time frame we agreed upon. Once food service was over they cleaned up their station so well you would never know they were there. I made the mistake of forgetting containers for leftovers but luckily my sis-in-law had some she let me borrow since I didn't want to waste any of it. Next day and they're still delicious to eat. If I have another party in the future in which I'll need catering this will be the top choice. read more

I booked this catering company for an upcoming event and paid a deposit after communicating with the owner. After the deposit was sent, communication completely stopped. I have sent multiple text messages and made phone calls over several days with no response and no confirmation of services. At this point, I've had to pursue other options for my event and take steps to recover my deposit. This has been a very stressful and disappointing experience. read more

I think this company is now out of business, I called and called and no response. We have our event in 2 days and I put down a $100 deposit and no response. DO NOT use or put down a deposit. Its disappointing as I've used them a few times before and they were good so this is not the norm but either way DO NOT put down a deposit. Now I have 2 days to figure this out before our party--this not acceptable read more

Lua's Tacos catered my wedding last month and I was pretty disappointed unfortunately. I had booked them a year in advance and put down a deposit, only for them to tell me weeks before the wedding that their menu and package I had chosen has changed. They were also an hour late which pushed back the whole timeline of my wedding night and they only brought one person to serve 120 guests. Due to all of this, sadly not every guest was able to eat their dinner. He told us that he had more meat, but was unwilling to cook it (or take any offered help) because the line was so backed up. The food was delicious, but not everyone got to enjoy it. read more

Great catering service! They catered an event in Corona for a small crowd. The meats, especially their Al Pastor, were tasty and delicious! Tortillas spot on as well as their condiments, sides and salsas! Service was outstanding. read more

I would recommend them for any gathering in so cal, large or small! read more

Lua’s Tacos Catering - Next days leftovers and still delicious! - Caterers Near Me

Hired Lua's Tacos to cater my brother's memorial service on October 2, 2024. Eric was already preparing the food by the time we got back to the house. Everything was perfect, all set up and ready to serve. We ordered for 50 and the leftovers were dished up in containers we provided, most guest took food home. Everyone loved the food, especially the beans and rice‍, we had chicken and beef, and everything was very favorable. It was 105 degrees at mid day and when I told Eric they could leave early because of the heat, he was hesitant, wanting to make sure everyone had been served. Thank you for taking one stressor out of our day by providing excellent food and service. I would definitely hire Lua's again. *****+. read more

We reserved Lua's Tacos for my baby shower on September 17, 2022, and had a great experience. We had a lot of questions prior to retaining their services and all our questions were answered; communication was excellent. On the day of the event, the Taco guy arrived on time, service was great. Food was amazing, all three meats were tasty; the tortillas tasted homemade. The disposable styrofoam plates they provided where sturdy and not the flimsy ones. My guest where happy and so was I! I absolutely recommend Lua's Tacos. I will use them again next time I need catering services. read more

If I ever need a caterer for another event, Lua's Tacos is who I'll be hiring! Thank you so much for helping me make my father's memorial perfect! read more

All was fine until they texted to cancel because of a "family emergency" nine days before our wedding reception. I see others have had the same experience. They will also not give a contract, just an invoice, so no cancellation policy. I'd try another vendor if I were you, don't risk the same pandemonium they have caused us. read more

I used Lua's Taco Catering for my best friends baby shower and was pleased with every aspect of the service. Excellent customer service from day one, straightforward pricing and quick response times. The team showed up approximately 1h 15 min prior to serve time to make sure they could set up appropriately. They're set up was efficient and looked great. The food was ready promptly at the requested serving time and was unbelievably delicious. Tacos were filled to the brim and the tortillas were delicious. Mulitas/quesadillas had generous fillings also. Beans and rice were tasty and the horchata was delicious. We had additional guest last minute and there was still plenty of food along with leftovers. I sincerely appreciate the excellence displayed by Lua's and will absolutely be a return customer in the near future. HIGHLY recommend this business. read more

I hired Lua's Tacos Catering service for an event this past weekend and they were great. They arrived on time and were ready to serve food before the scheduled time. They have excellent customer service and their food was very delicious. We got the al pastor, asada, and chicken tacos and quesadillas. The cheese that they use for their quesadillas was absolutely delicious and all of their sauces were full of flavor. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a taquero for your next event. My only suggestion for the business owner would be to extend the length of time that they serve food at the events (they serve for 2 hours from the time they start serving food). Nevertheless, they were excellent and I will definitely hire them again for future events but would definitely ask for more serving time. read more

See all

Meat was good. Service was good although they started 30 mins later than mentioned which was okay because they made up the 30 mins after the scheduled end time. 4 stars because the salsas were very watery and the yellow chiles were not on the grill long enough. Overall- good experience. read more

Great service, great food and easy setup. The staff were very friendly and helpful..would definitely use again when in California!
