My man, Jaime, was really nice, but he was grilling up some mean tacos today! He was so gregarious, his name should have been Greg! He and the Tacos Rachero catering team was serving some tasty Mexican food for a graduation party for a family friend. The tacos were nice and crunchy and the quesadillas were the huuuuuge! You have your choice of carnitas, al pastor, and chicken for your meat. Whatever you choose, you should order it with the works! All the flavors come together for some good eatin'! Based in Orange County at Harbor and Garden Grove, Tacos Ranchero is centrally located to serve LA, Orange County, and Las Vegas events. If you're looking for tasty tacos, then call Jaime at Tacos Ranchero catering!

Street Food is a hit or miss but this place is on point with their tacos! They're juicy and full of flavor The price is right! I definitely recommend them! Don't miss out on the opportunity to try this place. Worth every bite trust me.... I will definitely stick them out for future taco satisfaction I recommend the chicken and shrimp tacos their burritos look really delicious too!! Enjoy.....!

I found this place on Yelp and have been waiting to try it - I've been at the Holiday Inn Express around the corner since Sunday and saw that they are off Sunday and Monday. I've been waiting patiently for Tuesday night to roll around so I could finally hit them up! The guys that run this truck seem super cool, it's literally right outside 2J's bar. I wasn't even hungry but I just had to get the 3 tacos for $5 - what a great deal. I picked asada, chicken and chorizo - my basic food groups. Haha. The hot meat was a match made in heaven with the doubled up corn tortillas. You could tell they were fresh - they weren't crumbly and were perfectly moist. The condiments are up to you to throw on - grab them in the little window. I just like onion, cilantro and a squeeze of lime on mine. The steak was moist and perfectly seasoned. Some places tend to make theirs too salty but this one was just right! The chicken was also equally as delicious. The meat just crumbles in your mouth. The chorizo was probably my favorite of the 3! It looked chunky but it was actually super crumbly and had just a perfect amount of seasoning. It was a perfect late night snack in an easy to find street corner. Seems like they move around town a bit so give them a call before you head out looking for them. Keep up the awesome food and great value guys!

Amazing, absolutely amazing food. I asked for a cali burrito and it was the best burrito i've ever had.

Amazing food. Every time I see the truck I grab my allowance money and go get a burrito or tacos. Amazing service. The people are also extremely happy and nice.

Lost my business forever! This spot is for someone who is handicap.

@tacorancherocater has lost my business! I came back from dinner with my kid's grandmother who's in a wheelchair. I asked the owner to move he said he would 10 mins later he comes over to my car with grandma sitting next to me. I told him he was not supposed to be in that spot. He said he knows I told on him before it's not telling on you it's stating the facts the spot is for someone who needs assistance and has a handicapped placard. He wasn't going to argue with me he just wouldn't move and walked away. So he didn't and I was forced to find alternate parking a wheel my kids grandmother in. Wonder if he has anyone in his life that would be disappointed in his actions and the disrespect he showed. Wonder if there was a man with me if he still wouldn't have moved? #pissedoff

We waited a week to come here because we found out 10 mins too late that they come to our apartment complex every Wednesday at a specific time frame. Let me tell you the wait was worth it. If you're looking for a great Cali Burrito this is the place. Usually you always take a gamble when trying a burrito somewhere new, because the foundation of a good burrito is the rice and beans, you can have the best meat but if your rice and beans are drier than the Mojave desert your burrito will never be better than par. I appreciate that they are very hospitable and the prices are not outrageous. One thing i wish they had was some aquas frescas something about an agua fresca and a burrito is undefeated. Other than that we will definitely be coming back.

Awful human being. I was disrespected by the owner over his inadequate management to give his customers their complete order at once. Sergio Frutos is unprofessional and nasty to customers. Based on some of the other reviews it, looks like the owner lacks customer service skills and overall common business etiquette. He was at our school function and they did not give me my complete order. When I approached the window he told me he could not verify if I did or did not get my complete order, he then said "I can't give you anything for free, I can lose my job". He told his employees to ignore me so no one could help me. He looked at my order slip and said I didn't pay for the item I was waiting for and to take it up with the casher. I then had to wait for her to become available, when she checked the order, she said I had paid and he then interrupted her and told me to call the number on the truck which now I know he knew was his personal number. I refused to just allow him to take my money and treat me unfairly, so I waited and he then showed me my order that had been on the side of his counter with a smirk. He said "it was here the whole time". It felt like he held it there intentionally because I was questioning his professionalism. I think the owner is immature, unprofessional and has no problem being disrespectful to women. I know if my husband had been there he would not have spoken to me the way he did. I would never recommend or trust this man anywhere near children or women. I hope this review serves as is a red flag for people who are considering him for catering.

Yum. Yum. Yum. If you need an excuse to have tacos. This is it. This taco truck has a variety of Tacos, Mulitas, quesadillas, plus so much more. The carne asada is tender and juicy. The birria is legit and so flavorful. The food is authentic and makes you feel at home. They have green and red salsa but they have super spicy one you can ask for that is better than any salsa I've had. On the plus side, they have Keto tacos!!! Stop reading this review and go, you won't regret it!

I tried Taco Ranchero Cater for the first time tonight with some friends. I met Sergio and Danny who were closing their food truck at the Bruery. They were very nice and said they would make food for us before leaving. We ordered an al pastor California burrito that was very good. My friends got the French fries with al pastor and they loved it. I would highly recommend this food truck and restaurant. Great food and great service!

Al Pastore burrito very little meat in it mostly all beans and rice $15. What a joke.

Kurt K.

So I ordered an Al Pastore burrito and a pineapple Harita's soda. $15. That's the most I've ever spent on a Mexican burrito and a drink. So I guess the burrito was $10 and the drink was five dollars. What a complete utter joke. There was so little meat in this burrito. It was mostly filler that included beans and rice. Not sure if they saw me as a gringo and decided all all up charge this guy because he doesn't know any difference but little do they know I'm fluent in Spanish grew up with all Mexicans and I am very experienced in the cuisine in the current price wrong person to try to fool. Anyways, I'm very disappointed in this truck, and I am suggesting for others to steer away. If you want to get cheated, go somewhere else there are plenty of other options and even when they continue to come to my complex, I'll never give them a penny again. My service will be saved for other great food trucks in the area.

Very good burritos tacos good Quality Meats best customer service come on down and check them out you won't regret it

We wanted some decent Mexican food and gave this business a chance especially since they come to our community every Friday to offer their services. We were disappointed with the burned pork barbacoa meat on the fries and burned carne asada on the tacos. The tortillas were stale and I was unable to finish my tacos because of the excessive burned meat that even the salsa could not mask the burned taste. The shrimp tacos were good and the fries were good despite the burned barbacoa that I had to remove in order to finish the fries. The owner is nice and professional but whoever is doing the cooking needs to pay more attention to the grill and keep the meat from burning. read more

So I was very reluctant to try this taco truck because I'm a taco snob so it's hard to impress me! Especially because I'm Spanish and I know what good tacos taste like. And this is as good as it gets in Orange County! I'm so glad I found some good tacos out here cause I just moved from LA where I've lived all my life. My favorite tacos are pastor but tbh the meat was too greasy. The asada was a little overcooked. The star of the show is the birria! And ask for chipotle sauce. I only got 1 side but I wish I would've got 2, because it was better than the salsa! I usually add a ton of limes or lemons on my tacos and these didn't need that many! And they use huge lemon wedges here which is another plus! Not the baby limes with barely any juice! 1 side of lemons was good enough when I usually always ask for 2! Next time i definitely would love to try the mulitas! read more

I hate places that have all 5 stars. That means they got their homies on here stroking them inappropriately. But, you know with your boy on here giving a review it will be honest (see Pizza Hut 2019 and you will know I'm not playing) This little truck is legit. The mulita took me back to my time of hanging around McCarthur Park with Hank. They need to keep up putting out that fire. Only complaint I have is that they don't have a 5 pound double stuffed burrito. You need a gimmick. Gimmicks are legit, but so are you so boom. read more

Earlier today their truck was at the Gem Amphitheater in Santa Ana/Garden Grove area. I had the best tacos ever with their two chicken tacos and two asada tacos! The taste was full of flavor, right amount of chipotle sauce, that was prepared fully loaded. The price is very good, as well! Without any questions, I will be a return customer as well as pursing their catering services. Their other menu items are next on my list to try, where I am very certain I will not be disappointed. They have the best tacos in Orange County and All neighboring counties: LA, Riverside, and San Bernardino. read more

This truck is actually right in my neighborhood. I've been wanting to try it. Finally tried the birria burrito. Very tasty and good size to fill you up. Only problem is the price. At $10 for all burritos and at least three or more other great Mexican Food Trucks within 1 mile with lower prices. I find it hard to spend the money. read more

History

Established in 2010.

Est. July 2010. Had a great marinating recipe passed down by my father, and decided to put it to work into a small catering business with a small Grill. As Time flew people love the food and I realized that we needed to start growing. We grew into a mobile food truck Service. I am happy that we have a great touch on our food and leaves a tremendous impact to our customers. In addition, our customers always leave happy and with joyful taste buds.

Meet the Business Owner: Sergio F.

Humble business owner, started this from the bottom and now we are here trying my best to keep our customers happy with feeding them our passed down family marination. Was grown into this blessing of marinating,cooking, and want the world to tast it! So come visit us to the Taco Ranchero Cater food truck!

Man, I recently attended a first birthday party catered by them, and let me tell you, their food has been living rent-free in my mind ever since. SO GOOD! First, let's talk brisket. Their halal brisket is so juicy and flavorful, it might just ruin you for all other BBQs. I mean, I've made my own brisket before, but I can never get it this juicy! It's like they took a brisket and sent it to flavor boot camp. And those smash burgers? Wow. Each bite is a symphony of taste--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with so much flavor that you'll be dreaming of them long after your plate is empty. The staff and owners are just as delightful as the food they serve. Friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do, they make you feel like part of the family. Whether you're throwing a big bash or a small get-together, these folks can handle it all with a smile. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! I think they currently do lunches with their food truck in Santa Ana M-Th!

Chick-N-Out was one of the most highly rated places in Anaheim California. Chick-N-Out is located on Ball Road near Disneyland. It's open daily from 5:00 P.M to 11:00 P.M. Extended hours are on Fridays and Saturdays. This pop up food truck offers a variety of chicken sandwiches, French Fries, wraps, nachos, tenders and more! Most of their combo meals cost between $18.00-$20.00 each. My husband and I both ordered a chicken sandwich combo. My Chicken sandwich only had pickles on it, but he had everything added to his sandwich! There were a few customers ahead of us, so we ended up waiting about 15 minutes for the order. After we got our meal, we decided to eat it in our car fresh instead of bringing it back to the hotel. The chicken sandwich was so delicious! It was super crunchy. I think it was deep fried with the corn flake crust. It was one of the more unique chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The chicken cutlet was relatively thin, but still scrumptious! I haven't had anything like this before! The French Fries were good. They needed a little bit more salt for me. The Cajun corn was slightly spicy. The cooks in the food truck prepare the orders from scratch. While we were waiting for the order, we saw a lot of the chicken cutlets being prepared and deep fried. I really enjoyed eating at Chick-N-Out. It's one of my new favorite places to eat at near Disneyland!

I think their coffee in general is decent and pretty strong (if you get the Vietnamese coffee variants). Their matcha is also pretty good too! It's a bit on the pricier side and portions can be a lot smaller depending on which matcha drink you get, but I think it's pretty solid. As for their milk teas, I think it sometimes comes off as a bit.... watery? The tea flavor isn't quite there. If you get a fruit tea or regular tea, however, the tea flavor is good. There are moments though, where they can come off a bit watery/lackluster as well. The shop is small, but it's nice and clean. There's a decent amount of seating for the size of the shop. Workers are always very friendly!

The Matcha Einspänner was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, with a creamy topping that complemented the bold matcha flavor beautifully. It felt indulgent without being overly sweet and really allowed the quality of the matcha to shine. The Matcha Pandan was equally impressive and offered a unique twist. The earthy notes of the matcha paired surprisingly well with the fragrant pandan, creating a drink that was both refreshing and comforting. It was a combination I hadn't tried before, and it quickly became one of my favorites. The café itself has a clean, modern aesthetic with a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing, catching up with friends, or enjoying a quiet afternoon. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they serve. If you're a matcha enthusiast, Airoma Cafe is definitely worth a visit. Between the quality ingredients, thoughtfully crafted drinks, and inviting ambiance, it's easily one of my favorite matcha spots in Orange County. I'll definitely be back for another Matcha Einspänner and Matcha Pandan!

The cashier was very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The shop has a simple, clean, and welcoming atmosphere. Another plus is that the parking in this area is spacious and it's very easy to find a spot.

Nonetheless, the service is great (always be patient in mornings) don't talk until someone's had their caffeine , etc. Be sure to always follow your local coffee shop etiquette because one of a few locale Cortado Coffee Shoppes in Garden Grove, CA. is what I recommend with 4.8 stars.
