I have to say these were one of the best tacos I've had in a very long time. Meat was grilled and tortillas made fresh at the party, not pre-made or store bought, which made it even better. Devan and Maria were great to work with. Called the day before to confirm everything. His Pico de Gallo with jalapeños is a must add! Ruth and Alejandra did an awesome job! Came early to set up and was very accommodating. Such a great team. Can't wait for our next party...will definitely be calling them again! read more

great experience overall! they were very easy to communicate with and got us everything we could have wanted from a catering event. very responsive and great customer service. setup and presentation was awesome. everyone had great things to say about the food as well and were very very very happy with the catering! read more

Highest Recommendation! This was my first foray into a taco cart. All my fears were soothed by the professional staff and amazing service. Oscar and Albert showed up right on time and were so professional setting up, making sure to ask my needs and account for the event. The food was DELICIOUS! Steak, chicken and pork tacos with freshly pressed tortillas along with some of the best beans I have ever had. The rice was pretty darn good as well. Great selection of hot sauces and guacamole sauce, chopped onions and cilantro. Everyone raved about the food and the great service! Will definitely be using them again! read more

We had an outdoor event for ~45 people. The food was fantastic and had plenty of it. Each person had multiple rounds and no one went hungry. Devan and Maria were a joy to work with. They helped plan the placement of the taco cart, the condiments table, etc. to assure that we had a great flow. Everyone loved it and were asking for it again 2 days later when we hosted a brunch. Well done Devan and Maria - thank you! read more

I'll keep this short and sweet. Food was amazing. Handmade tortillas,fresh salsas and delicious meats. Lady's showed up on time and very friendly. I definitely recommend Tacos El Gabacho and will be using them again. read more

We hired them for a work event. They gave each person 3 tacos, rice, beans, guacamole, onions, cilantro, cheese, 2 kinds of salsa and chips for $13/person. The food was fresh and flavorful. The line was a little slow in the beginning but as soon as I told Maria that we needed to get people through faster, she helped her husband to plate the tacos. They worked hard and everyone enjoyed it. I will use them again and recommend them. read more

I thought I was in Tecate' Mexico. Alejandra and Ruth both made the event we hosted special. Home made corn tortillas to go with the carne asada, beans and rice. It was as charming as it can be and the food was awesome. read more

If anyone is looking for someone to cater their party, Tacos El Gabacho are the best!! Devan and his wife Maria are a great team and their food is so delicious!! Everything is homemade from the tortillas to the beans and salsa. They have so much to choose from. We had chicken, beef and pork and it was all great. You can't get the quality of food and service they provide for the price anywhere else. Give them a try, you won't be sorry. read more

Tacos El Gabacho - Caterers Near Me

I used these awesome people to cater my wedding rehearsal back in December 2017. They were the only company that was willing to cater to a party of fewer than 50 people so I am grateful for them. The food was delicious, there was plenty left over and we got to keep it and the daughter made sure to check back before the day of to make sure my order remained the same. I highly recommend them! read more

There's no chicken stock in the rice meaning it's vegetarian and vegan friendly. The pinto beans are also vegetarian and vegan friendly. Their sauces are tremendous and their cilantro onion green onion and sauté peppers are phenomenal. A perfect choice for all of your guests for any event! read more

They catered our West Coast Wedding Reception this Saturday -- and it was AWESOME! Great food, Great service, we look forward to the next occasion in which we can have their amazing tacos again. And.. did I say homemade tortillas?...YUM! Thanks for everything! read more

I found TEG on Yelp, and asked them to cater my husband's 40th bday party with 30 people. I coordinated the event with Maria, and we went over exactly what I would get and what I wanted to add on. The day of the party the ladies showed up on time, and served dinner right when they said they would. They stuck around for two hours serving the food, then cleaned up completely and left. The guests absolutely raved about the tacos. I will absolutely use them again next time I need to feed a crowd. I highly recommend! read more

Called to see if they were available for a certain date. The Lady said yes and made an appointment to come meet beforehand. She never showed up or called that she would be late or to change the date for the meeting. Just did not show. I texted her to see if she was still coming, also no answer. Not very professional, will be taking my business somewhere else. read more

Very friendly clean and willing to provide you with whatever you want, not to mention delicious tacos!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! BEST day ever. You guys did our food for our wedding on 5/21/2017! Its now June and our friends are still raving about how great the food was! You guys were amazing and I can't wait for the remodel of our house cuz we will be doing it again!!! We ordered the carne, chicken, and pork. And my favorite as well as my husband's was the carne. It was all AMAZING! but the carne kept us eating even after we were full. Devan met us prior to our event and was excellent, he knew exactly what we needed and he didn't let us down. The two who were working our event (I'm sorry I forgot your names ) were so amazing!!! Great customer service, super attentive, and just great people. They even knew a friend of ours who was there ... kinda cool can't wait to use your services again! I wish I had taken photos, i was so busy I totally forgot. But I promise you won't be sorry if you book them. They truly are the BEST! read more

We contacted Devin and Maria about working at our softball tournament this last week-end (Fathers Day). We had between 1,500-1,800 people at our event over the 2 days. Their food as amazing, made to order street tacos with fresh salsa and toppings. Super great value and super nice people. We hope they will join us again next year! read more

Over the years we have hosted and attended several different companies that provide Taco Cart/Street Taco services. Tacos El Gabacho and Oscar were the best we have ever experienced. Great communication leading up to the event, on time arrival, professional, Oscar provided excellent customer service with a sense of humor and cleaned up like he was never there! We received rave reviews by everyone at the party. We are trying to figure out something else to celebrate, just so we can have them back. Thank you Tacos El Gabacho for a great time with great food. read more

Friday we celebrated our 3rd Peninsula Bank employee reunion and Devan and Maria did not disappoint. Everyone enjoyed the tacos with all the trimmings. They were friendly, efficient, neat, clean and full of smiles! We and I will definitely use them again. Thank you! read more

This company came all the way out to Campo area for our family party!!! Wonderful salsas, fantastic food, the best tortillas they make from scratch right in front of you!! The sides are flavorful and the cart is an actual cart, stainless steel!!. The food safety was top notch, with everything kept cooled before cooking, and all equipment sanitized before use!! I would highly recommend this company to my closest friends!!! read more

The BEST taco cart around!! It starts off by talking and working out all the planning with Devan and Maria these 2 are the best! Definitely make you feel like family! This is the 2nd time using them the 1st time was at the house this 2nd time was at a Public facility for a surprise party and the Girls were Fantastic! We had Alex & Ruth working the cart for over 60people and they both handled perfectly. The FOOD is AMAZING!! the Homemade tortilla's and everyone wouldn't stop talking about how fresh and tender the meat was. We have another party this weekend and decided to use them again for this party. There is no party too big or too small for these guys and the fact that they make you feel like family is Awesome! Highly Highly recommend! read more

Recently used them for a large, outside corporate event, for a 2nd year in a row! Devan & Maria are extremely easy to work with and very responsive. They arrived well before the start time to set up and were ready to go. They even stayed well after they were required to continue to feed the attendees. And of course the tacos were delicious!! We'll definitely be using them again next year! Highly recommend having Tacos El Gabacho cater your next event!! read more

They catered my Superbowl party this year, and it made my life so much easier. They showed up early, were careful to set up everything in a way that allowed everyone easy access to the house and the food. The food was all cooked on site, and was AMAZING. Guests complimented the food constantly throughout the evening. Along with the good food came great personalities. Devan was great, and made everyone feel welcome at the cart. Alia made great tortillas, and even let me make a few for fun. There was a ton of toppings, and the price was very reasonable for feeding over 40 people. They contacted me several days in advance to confirm everything, which was refreshing to know they were on top of it for me. There is a 100% chance I will have them back to my Superbowl to cater again in 2020. read more

Maria and Devan are as nice as it gets. I called them to cater my wedding celebration in Lakeside only with two weeks of advance for more than 100 people. They were went the week before to see where to set up to make sure all was perfect. The day of the party Alejandra and Ruth came to set up, cook and serve, and they were absolutely amazing. They stayed longer than planned and the tacos were delicious. Some people said were the best they have tried and we had a big group of very demanding Mexicans, so I think not only the service was five stars, also the food. The added quesadillas and grilled vegetables, it was just great. The price very very very reasonable. Definitely, I´d use them again and highly recommend them. read more

I had a party and I booked them within 2 weeks (a bit rushed) but they came through with there employee Oscar and he did an amazing job , everyone was feed and extremely happy 3rds and 4ths was a must and the red salsa was a hit (besides the tacos) lol which we loved , everything came out perfect , we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cater read more

Tacos el Gabacho is amazing!! They were very professional and efficient from the first moment I contacted them. They called me right back with availability and pricing. They have sooo many good options, tacos, quesadillas, nachos, and all the fixings! They are very thorough asking where to set up making sure they provide the best experience possible. The guests at my party were raving about the quality of the food and service! They even worked efficiently in the RAIN! It rained the whole party. They were in good spirits throughout the whole party. By the time they left they felt like part of the family! I highly recommend them and have already done so! read more

Nice work team. Had a great surprise Taco cart for my husband's 40th last year and the food was excellent! Will do it again. Working with the team for the secret meetings at the location and increasing the amount on short notice. read more

We had them cater a thank you lunch for a client and it was fabulous. Rene was super helpful on the phone with organizing. We did this last minute and they were able to handle it! They showed up on time and had plenty of yummy food. The fresh tortillas were probably the best I've ever had! read more

I was having a store event for my crew at Trader Joe's Chula Vista and did not want to run a grill the whole time. I went to Yelp and found Tacos El Gabacho. I selected them based on their great reviews and they did not disappoint. They got to the park and were getting started before I even got there. They communicated the whole time and helped me with vegan beans and rice since a lot of my crew are vegans. With fresh gluten free tortillas everyone could partake. The tacos were a hit and so was the whole party. Everything was fresh ingredients. They had multiple salsas, guacamole, fresh cilantro, radish and onions. I would choose these guys again in a heartbeat. read more

Absolutely DELICIOUS, Carne, Pollo, and Adobada, with all the fixin's, and the HANDMADE tortillas cooked fresh on the spot are ridiculous! Everything was outstanding, the food, the ambience, and the people, (Gracias Maria!) all were a huge hit. I'm usually stuck behind my grille and can't fully enjoy our parties, this was a nice change to be able to sit and relax, and just order up piping hot tacos whenever I wanted. (which was often) Lots of leftovers to enjoy too. I highly recommend Tacos El Gabacho! *Edit to add* It's funny that you said you look forward to doing our next party, 'cuz it turns out that will be this Thursday! I came to work raving about how good everything was, and since we have an employee leaving us soon we decided to give her a good sendoff. I called Maria to set it up, and I'll be enjoying your food again in a few days! I just had some leftovers for lunch a few minutes ago, btw... muy delicioso! read more

Amazing food and great service by Marisol and her team. No complaints here (deserve 10 stars!) We hired Tacos El Gabacho to cater my son's graduation party and it was a huge success. Party guests enjoyed every bite of the delicious tacos - carne, pollo and pork + making the tortillas on-site took the quality and experience to a whole new level. We love the grilled veggies, and the traditional Mexican rice and beans were out of this world. Never going anywhere else for Mexican food catering again. Thank you Tacos El Gabacho for making our son's graduation party a party to remember! read more

Great experience! We had a military Change of Command party at our house Friday evening, and Devan, Maria, and Jeanine definitely made our party! Devan and Jeanine came out to our house earlier in the month to walk us through all of the details. We stayed in constant communication, and Devan was accommodating to our last minute requests. The guest all raved about the food! We had 3 kinds of tacos with rice, beans, and all the fixings...all delicious! The tortillas are amazing...thank you Maria! Definitely recommend Devan and the crew anytime!! read more

Food was great, Oscar our server was great. All around great service and my daughter and her friends just loved it! Thanks for making her bday a memorable one! read more

We had the pleasure of having Tacos El Gabacho for my husband's 50th birthday party last weekend. They came out a few days early to see the space and determine which grill and stand would be best. They showed up right on time to prepare for the party and had everything we needed. The handmade tortillas are a real treat and all the meats are delicious. They were friendly and served our guests with a smile. Everyone at the party was happy and well fed. If you hire Tacos El Gabacho for your party or event, you won't be disappointed. Thanks, guys. read more

My parents wanted a Cinco de Mayo party and I suggested a taco truck, so I looked on Yelp for the company with the best rating--and then realized they probably would be booked on Cinco de Mayo with only a month's notice! Thank GOODNESS they weren't booked (LUCKY US!) Devan and Maria worked with my mom to find out her preferences and numbers, and from there it was easy peasy! Maria came out with a helper and they rocked it! Delicious carne asada, chicken and pork for about 40 people and the tortillas were awesome! All the fixin's you wanted for a very reasonable price--AND we kept the leftovers (mostly meat and tortillas) and I just enjoyed it for dinner tonight! So helpful and prompt. Loved the set up and ease! Thank you for making the party so memorable and easy on my parents, and for being so very kind to me! read more

Tacos El Gabacho provided top notch service and a quality product that all of my guests enjoyed. Devan and Maria were very attentive to our needs and were always a pleasure to talk to in the planning process. The day of the event Oscar and Ruth provided excellent customer service and served delicious food. We will hire Tacos El Gabacho again! read more
