    We tried taco love catering yesterday at our friend's pre-wedding celebration at their house. Their options were listed on the side of the truck. Can't answer how the price was for the overall catering (as we were guests) but the portion sizes were generous and hearty. Due to recent dietary restrictions I have to limit my carbs and sugar intake. I settled for a burrito bowl - pork adobada, salad, and veggies. The salad was super refreshing. Pork adobada was tasty, but would have tasted better as a taco if I could eat carbs! We had some out of towners, and they appreciated the size and said they liked the taste. Staff was friendly, took down orders, and called the names when the order was ready. They also served churros and ice cream. The ice cream melted quickly, as it was hot, so you had to eat quick!

    We hired Taco Love food truck for our backyard party with 140 people and the food and the service could not have been better. The appetizers were delicious, served hot, beautifully presented, and abundant. The food from the truck was so good. All of our guests were delighted and all of this for such a reasonable price! If I plan another party, I am going to Taco Love right away. And so many of my guests loved the food, I hope they have parties and have Taco Love serve! Five stars, thank you so much!

    Another great food truck experience through my company's food truck Tuesday. Nice, friendly, expedient. Placed my order for Cali Burrito - steak, and it was out within 5-6 minutes. Pretty fast considering the long line that was in front and behind me. The Cali burrito was delicious. Pretty large too. Stuffed with steak, fries, and other yummy ingredients. They offered other items but how can you pass on a Cali Burrito. Hope they come back again for another food truck day.

    Birria burrito

    This is the absolute worst Mexican food I have had. They catered at an apartment complex twice and have been terrible both times. The best thing on their menu is the utensils and napkins that come with the meals. This place makes del taco and taco bell seem like standout restaurants. Their chips are blended day old stale and store bought. The rice was crunchy because it wasn't cooked all the way through. The beans were watery. The carne asada was an off cut of meat just salt and peppered. I thought their birria may be okay but it tasted like hard tap water that someone randomly sprinkled sea salt in right before wrapping it in a tortilla. I have been raised to not waste food but this food was already wasted before I started my meal. Please don't waste your time or money on this food truck.

    This was my reservation a month ago, and the food truck they promised.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING SOMEBODY ELSE.

    This place is an absolute joke. I made a reservation well in advance for a food truck event (1 month in advance) and what did I get? Nothing close to what was promised. Instead of the vibrant food truck experience I was eagerly anticipating and was promised, they showed up unannounced with excuses about a tent supposedly flying off somewhere. Let's break down the disaster that unfolded: I reserved a food truck, a concept that apparently escaped them completely. Instead, they stumbled in, attempting to set up a tent that magically disappeared into thin air. Their incompetence knows no bounds. To add insult to injury, their half-hearted attempts to salvage the situation with a flimsy table were laughable at best. They clearly have no respect for their customers' time or expectations. I would absolutely stay away far from this joke food catering truck BS! Wow absolutely unbelievable and never expected. I wouldn't trust these clowns to organize a picnic, let alone a professional event. Save yourself the headache and avoid taco BS Catering like the plague. They're masters of disappointment and empty promises.

    Agua de sandía

    We had catered food today at our work's quad and though the tacos were good there was nothing that really stood out for me. Plus the beans and rice didn't really have flavor and was on the drier side. The agua de sandía they offered was probably the best part since not a lot of places offer it but it could have been a tad bit sweeter. I was also a little disappointed with the service being not the most approachable. They only wanted to take orders fast and then move you along which I understand with the long line of people but not the most friendly overall.

    Taco UP!

    Catered at my new apartment's welcome party! Great food, great music, and fantastic personality. I highly recommend booking them for your next gathering! Everything is freshly made, reasonably priced, and will efficiently serve your guests with a smile on their face! Thanks for coming out!

    Shrimp taco
    Jenna B.

    Had their tacos from their truck, so delicious! The shrimp was my favorite, the carne asada was also flavorful. No skimping on the fillings, so there's spillage but not complaining. The women working today were incredibly nice. Def would return!

    Fish taco and Zucchini taco

    Tacos were delicious! They catered an event at San Diego Comic Con and were so quick and nice despite the huge crowds. Great service, would recommend.

    Our employer hired them to cater lunch. They had delicious food, friendly staff, and they served us in no time.

    The Truck

    These are some good tacos on wheels. I had two calabasita with rajas and corn tacos and a chicken adobada taco for lunch. I think they call it the taco sampler for about $9. Both tacos were good. The rajas tacos were my favorite because they offered the best levels off flavor and texture. The zucchini were mild but noticeable, and the rajas were stand outs indeed. The Poblano Peppers spoke for themselves in a good way. The grilled cheese underneath was excellent and avocado crema was perfect for this taco. It was a terrific veggie taco. The adobada taco was good. The chicken was tender but I did feel that the meat needed to exude that adobo flavor more than it did. This taco also came with the same avocado cream so that was good. I like that the corn tortillas on all the tacos had that very nice color for the hot griddle and oil they added. Service was good and everyone was friendly.

    Absolutely Delicious!

    I can't thank Taco Love Mobile Catering enough for making our wedding day even more memorable! Although I initially thought we were getting the "Taco Love" truck, the "Taco Bar" truck turned out to be an absolute hit. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food - it was nothing short of amazing! The menu wasn't just your typical run-of-the-mill tacos; it was a full-blown culinary experience. From flavorful tacos to mouthwatering nachos and quesadillas, there was something for everyone. It's safe to say that the kids were just as thrilled as the adults! The fact that guests went back for seconds and even thirds speaks volumes about the quality of the food. The Taco Love team's attention to detail and the delectable flavors they served up made a huge impact on our celebration. It's rare to find catering that impresses such a diverse group of guests, but Taco Love nailed it. Thank you again for adding a delicious and unforgettable touch to our special day. We're beyond grateful for the culinary delight you provided, and we can't wait to savor your offerings again in the future. Communication was hit or miss at times which is the only reason why the review is not 5 star but the truck arrived on time, set up, prepared food and served quickly and the food was phenomenal - I will definitely use them again in the future! Warm regards, The Yingst's!

But I didn't realize that just about every dish was based on birria. But okay. I love a good, flavorful birria taco. I guess I just didn't order right. I grabbed the Mikes Meal Special, but I was really craving some nice crunchy, cheesy and Jalapeno-hot Nachos. So I thought I would try a half-order of Mike's Nachos. Man! They were horrible. The huge pile of shredded beef tasted okay, but the red gravy got all of the chips that it came into contact with really soggy and unpleasant to eat. Maybe it would have been better if I had eaten it in the restaurant, but it should not have degraded that quickly. And to claim to be Nachos? Why? What was Nacho about this messy, uninteresting dish? The only suggestion of cheese that I got was one stray pipe of yellow processed cheese that could have been mustard for all that I know. There were NO Jalapenos whatsoever. The guacamole was just one spoonful plopped down in the middle of the order. There was really nothing red hot about the food at all. So the sour cream just made it taste incredibly bland. My advice? Always go with as authentic to real Mexican food as you can find. If you really want "Gringo Sonora," I would heartily recommend Del Taco over this restaurant.

Surprisingly, the best thing we ate was the mini churros! Seriously the best churros I've had in a while and I dare say, it may be better than the ones at Disneyland!! It's perfectly chewy, crispy, and light, comes out hot, and just melts in your mouth. I felt the prices were a little high. You will definitely end up spending around $20-25 with a drink per person. Therefore this won't be a regular food spot for me but worth a try for sure.

It's no secret that San Diego has tacos in…read morespades and being so close to the border, you'd think that a quest to find the perfect taco would be as simple as rolling down to the nearest taqueria. Except, it's not quite that simple. Many beloved staples have gone downhill, while some newer spots that might boast things like a Michelin mention or multiple locations ranging from TJ to Vegas contain more hype and gristle than tender meat and substance. Enter Chula Tacos. Chula is, and always was, the type of place that makes you forget that you're not actually in Tijuana. While part of me misses their OG Market Street location, seeing them with brick-and-mortars feels hard-earned and well-deserved. This location on Palm in IB is relatively easy to access from the freeway, but parking can be tricky. You can safely assume that it will be busy and you will either have to be very lucky or be willing to find a spot on the street. Out of all the times I've been here, it's always been crowded enough that I've never been able to find a table inside, but I enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the ahumederos. The first thing that hits you walking through the door is how amazing everything smells. The queue to the cashier takes you near a window showing the kitchen where you can see the Chula Tacos team making fresh tortillas, slicing meat from the trompos, grilling up jalapenos, nopales, onions, labio, and tripa. For me, it's not so much a challenge to decide what I want, it's more a challenge to keep myself from ordering everything. My usual is four tacos: two asada, two al pastor (but I've heard that I should also try their world famous keka). The tacos though? Perfection. Every time, the asada is the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten, the al pastor is succulent and flavorful, and no taco in front of me is long for the world. At $3.50 each, every one of them is absolutely loaded. Three would honestly fill me up, but I always want four. After getting burned by spots that ask around 75% more and deliver anywhere between 25-50% less, Chula Tacos feels like an absolute godsend of a Tijuana-style taqueria and I can't see any other contenders being my go-to. So, when I say "Tacos will fix me," what I mean nowadays is "Chula Tacos will fix me."

The highlight of the menu is the Keka Taco. It is incredibly delicious, loaded with flavor, and so filling that it can easily satisfy even the biggest appetite. The only downside to this establishment is the limited parking, which can make picking up your order a bit challenging during busy times. However, the amazing food and generous portions more than make up for the parking inconvenience. If you're in the area, the Keka Taco is a must-try!

I am not a fan of the Gaslight District, which is why I am so mad!! I'm going to HAVE to go back to the Gaslight District!! The food was AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend the Potato Flautitas. It's the kind of dish I'm going to dream about, I'm salivating now just thinking about them. I also did the Pick 3 Street Tacos (and actually ordered a 4th). The Ranchero Shrimp and Grilled Veggie were top notch. The Conchinita was recommended by our waiter, and it was interesting, tasty but different. It could have used a little more pickled onion. The only one I would not recommend (shockingly, I thought it would be the easy pass) was the carne asada. It was too greasy. My husband ordered a carne asada quesadilla and said the same, it was too wet and soaked through the tortilla. But there were no many other delightful options, I would say just don't go traditional. But honestly my favorite thing on the plate was the side dish rajas con crema, seriously, that alone is going to drag me down to the Gaslight District. I'm even considering going to a Padres game just for the excuse. I'm salivating again! As for our waiter, Colin, he was fantastic. Very informative, made great suggestions and seemed genuinely pleased by our satisfaction. He was smiling the whole time, friendly and stayed very present. I highly recommend you get yourself through the door at La Puerta and sit down for a meal ASAP. (We ate the food so fast I forgot to take pictures.)
