Everything! We have used Lupita's family business at least 5 times. My husband had used them for at least the last 10 years for lunch for his employees. They are always on time, efficient and the tacos are AH-MAZING! Rice beans, all the fixings and even quesadillas are delicious. We used them last year (March/2025) for my MIL 80th birthday party and again this past weekend for an After Party celebration for a Wedding that happened in March of this year. We used them for our two kids high school/college graduations and for 21st bday party. We live in South OC and they have always been able to drive down to us when we've booked them. This past Saturday's celebration we received nothing but compliments on the food. From the choice of meat that was offered to guests telling us the meats were flavored/seasoned so well. We will always reach out to Lupita and her family taco business! read more

Recently went to a company holiday party and Tacos El Mexicano was there, and gotta say, whoever planned it got it right when them! There were chicken, pastor, and carne asada, as well as grilled onions and jalapeno for those that wanted it. I'm a fan of all 3 meat selection, but if I had to choose, probably liked the pastor the best. I'm a fan of salsa verde normally and theirs goes really well with the pastor. Carne asada had great marinated flavor and the chicken was juicy, even as small little chopped up pieces. There was all the toppings on the side, as well as rice & beans. When I went back for the 2nd round, they had cheese quesedillas as well! You can add meat to quesedilla, just gotta let them know ahead. What made it even better was how enthusiastic the two are. They really make it a much better experience. read more

Tacos El Mexicano catered my Father's 90th Birthday. Food was fabulous. All the guests ate until they were full. If I could give 10 Stars I would. Thank You Jaime and staff. read more

We hired Jaime's crew for a party serving around 100 people. They showed up on time and were super polite and organized even with some rainy weather during the event. Everyone absolutely loved the food and the service was terrific all around. The Al Pastor rivaled my favorite taco stands in LA and the tortillas were served hot, just right. I would absolutely hire them again for another event and would highly recommend! read more

Jaime and his awesome crew are the best there is! I honestly would give more stars if I could. So professional, friendly, courteous, and their food is fresh and the meats (al pastor, beef, and chicken) taste so good. They came super early to make sure they were properly set up and right on time for our guests. Jaime communicated with me from the time I found his business to the week of the party and outlined everything I would be getting with my reservation. Tacos El Mexicano was the hit of my 16 year old's birthday party, and we can't wait to use their services again. Thanks so much Jaime and fam! read more

I'm a proud Mexican and a real taco guy. These guys are legit as it gets. I would go so far to say if they had a brick and mortar I would be the first guy in line. You tell me, are their corn tortillas not some of the best you have ever had? And what the hell are you putting on that chicken to give it that flavor. Their salsa is outstanding also. I'm telling you I've hired two other Taco Men to cater different events but I'm done now. I found my guy!! Every person at the wedding we just had said who is the Taco Man and give me his card. Oh and by the way ask Jamie to make you a quesadilla with Carne Asada and his special salsa. O M G is that delicious. On time, immaculately clean and professional. You only get one shot with the food at your special event or party. People believe me I shopped around Jaime Razo Tacos El Mexicano is the best Taco Man you will find anywhere. read more

Real catered street tacos sabrosos? Say no more - Jaime and his crew are awesome. They've catered two events at our office and absolutely kill it each time. Asada, al pastor, pollo con cebolla, jalapeños and legit tortillas - a true mountain of tasty mexican eats. You know it's gonna be tasty when they have the OG authentic domed grill. Need to feed a bunch of people? Tacos El Mexicano might be your best bet! Give em a shout! read more

Made my arrangements for an event with Jamie. Super nice and professional. On the day of the event Angel arrived early and was ready to serve on-time. The food was amazing. Even the non-meat eaters where happy with the rice, beans and cheese quesadilla. I will recommend him to family members for future parties. read more

These guys ara amazing! They catered a three-year-old birthday party flawlessly. All the parents were too busy stuffing their faces rather then pay attention to the kids... so the kids had a fantastic time playing free ;-) read more

Best Taco guy ever!! Food is amazing and Jaimie is the sweetest person to work with. I bring him in once a month for catered lunches we have at my office - he's always on time and never lets us down on great, authentic Mexican food. Also had him drive from LA to the Inland Empire for my wedding dinner rehearsal - he's that great! HIGHLY Recommend him! read more

Fantastic family-run company. They have served at the OC foodbank National Family Volunteer Event for the last 14 years and have done a terrific job as the event has grown over the years. The food is delicious and all those serving and preparing the food do a great job. read more

Tacos! Sometimes you make a decision to do business with a person or place just on a gut feeling. This time was one of those times. About a month ago, some friends started planning to put on a cycling event. I offered to help and before I knew it, I was in charge of handling the food. After a few conversations, we all agreed that we wanted a taco guy/ truck to come out and feed the mass of cyclists that would arrive at the venue. After half a dozen calls to various taco outfits, I got a feel for the going price to feed 75 or so hungry folk. One of the last calls I made was from a referral I got. Jaime @ Tacos El Mexicano. That initial call was as easy as they get. Jaime was an affable guy with an easy going nature who assured me that if booked, he would take care of everything. Truth! As mentioned at the beginning of this review, my gut feeling was that Jaime was the real deal and that choosing him would be the right choice. It didn't hurt that his prices were competitive...especially when compared to the other folks I called. What we wanted was a self-contained taco guy, with a couple of different choices of meat and salsa. What we got was 3 different kinds of meat (asada, al pastor, chicken), three different kinds of salsa, warm corn tortillas and, for the vegetarian folks in the group, a quesadilla option. Success. We needed him there at 3pm with the food hot and ready to be served. He showed up at 2pm got set up, got his cook on and was ready to go as promised. While I did check on him from time to time throughout the event, Jaime never needed anything. Again, he was professional and extremely easy to work with. If you're looking for a legitimate taco guy who can serve, as his card says, "50 - 100 or more...", Jaime at Tacos El Mexicano is the guy for you. Give him a call, talk to him, tell him what you need and I'm sure he'll work with you. Thanks again Jaime!!! read more

We used Jaime for a rehearsal dinner for 45. It was over the top delicious. They were on time, worked hard, great uplifting personalities, clean, efficient, came with all they needed, and the guests raved about them. This is no ordinary taco bar, the tortillas tasted on home made, three kinds of meat, great salsas and quacamole. The price was terrific. I! I would recommend them for anywhere any day, any event. Call them, sure glad I did. Barbara Breazeale Pozzi read more

Tacos El Mexicano - Getting the goodness going - Caterers Near Me

Hired these guys two years ago for a grad. party and they did a great job. We have vegetarians and they were very accommodating. This year had another grad. party. Their price went up quite a bit and they forgot (despite numerous reminders) that we had vegetarians to feed and didn't bring any vegetables. I ended up having to cut up my own peppers and that was the only option my kids (who we threw the party FOR) had to eat. The tacos they did supply were good, but no price break despite them screwing up and leaving the guest of honor without any options to eat at her own party. Will not hire again. read more

We had Jaime cater our rehearsal dinner last year and the tacos were fantastic! He brought everything to our backyard and set up on time. There was plenty of food and the prices were reasonable. Hoping to hire him again this year for another party! read more

Tacos El Mexicano - Caterers Near Me

Best Taco Catering service by far !!!!! I love that they came early to set up and cooked everything fresh , very clean professional!! The quality of the meat was the best I've ever had from a taco cart !! I highly recommend to get them for your events you will not be disappointed!!! I will definitely use them again.... read more

I've never been to Jaime's restaurant, but we have hired his catering services 3 different times over the years. He is an honest, hard working guy and he makes some really good tacos. His prices are extremely reasonable and his service is top notch. He is able to set up and get going quickly. Old fashioned service with a smile. read more

Spoke to Jaime over the phone, who was very pleasant and patient in explaining their services. Included in their standard fare was asada, al pastor and chicken meats, plus refried beans and rice, plus sauteed sliced onions and whole fresh jalapenos fried on the dome grill, and finally fresh chopped onions and cilantro, lime wedges and sliced cucumbers, and spicy red and green tomatillo salsas. In addition to tacos, they will also prepare quesadillas. This was my first time having tacos catered, but I'm guessing that most taco caterers don't provide this much. We (over)ordered for 70 with an actual head count of 55. We added grilled tilapia to the menu for a nomimal cost, as well as guacamole and chips and pico de gallo. There was food left over and I think there would have been just enough food if we had 70 in attendance. Jaime's nephew Albert and assistant Christian arrived about an hour and half before the scheduled serve time. They were very nice. The set up was smooth and quick and they were ready by serve time. My biggest peeve when it comes to tacos is chunks of fat and cartilage, so I did make a point when speaking to Jaime about how particular I am. I think he went specially out of his way to make sure the meat was well prepared, and I really appreciated that. The guests enjoyed the food and Albert and Christian went quietly about their work. They wore gloves while preparing and serving the food, which was a nice touch. Total serve time was 2 hours. They left all the food with us. Lastly, they did not require a deposit or advanced payments and the price was reasonable. I paid them just before they started to clean up. Also, they ask that you provide a 6-foot table (two tables are better), forks and napkins. Overall I was very pleased with the quality and taste of the food and the service. The only thing I would like to have seen is a better presentation of the salsa bar, which came in white plastic tubs, which we quickly put into nicer bowls. Otherwise, I have no complaints and will likely use their services again when the need arises. Thank you guys. read more

WOW! Delicious, timely, professional, generous portions, and reasonably priced!! I coordinated my party booking with Jaime, but Ramon (Jaime's nephew) came out. Both were awesome to deal with and Ramon did a fabulous job!! People couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was that night! They drove from L.A. to Anaheim Hills for a 50th birthday party for 50 people and charged $460. Everyone ate plenty and there were lots of leftovers. The food was fresh and just delicious! And, Jaime was such a professional to deal with. I would definitely use them again! read more

I hired Tacos El Mexicano for a party of 100 people based on a recommendation from friends and had a wonderful experience. Communication was efficient and easy, prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. In addition to the carne asada, al pastor and chicken tacos, we also had them make potato tacos for the vegetarians. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend without reservation. read more

Great experience with this Taco Bar! We had Alex as our caterer and this gentleman worked like a machine! Had everyone at the party of about 50 served in good time and the presentation was Professional. Delicious tacos, toppings, beans and rice. Would recommend any time! read more

Delicious food. I was a customer of King's Crew Dispensary on a free taco day. Tacos El Mexicano was on-site with fresh chicken, carne asada, fried onions and jalapenos as well as rice and beans. I couldn't be happier with them - I'd be visiting often if they offered individual service! read more

I just recently found this place and to my surprise it was decent. I lived in the Imperial Valley for 10 years, it's right next to the Mexican border, so when it comes to authentic Mexican food, I'm spoiled. King Taco? That's white people TRYING to make Mexican food. Might as well get taco bell. This place wasn't too shabby. Biggest surprise was that it was in Old Town Pasadena. I tried the taquitos and they were pretty damn good. Had a good amount of meat inside and everything. The rice was tasty. The beans were on the bland side but all it needed was a little salt. I even tried the caramel flan and wasn't disappointed, and I hate flan. lol. don't ask what made me even try the flan in the first place. To top it off, prices were way decent. anyway, definitely recommend this place. read more

If I could rate higher I would trust! But definitely recommend I've ordered from these guys I've been with them for years never disappoint!!! read more

I wish I could give them ten stars! We hired Tacos El Mexicano for our daughter's first birthday and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Jaime was incredibly responsive, even sent a reminder the week of to confirm all of the details. His son and daughter arrived early, came prepared with everything, and had food ready to go exactly at the time we had specified. They were so friendly, kind and helpful and WOW the food was DELICIOUS!! I am not exaggerating when I say that probably 20 people asked for their information because they loved the food and the service so much! We enjoyed leftovers for days and I'm dying to find a reason to host another party just so we can hire them again. Thank you Jaime and family! It made the day so special and memorable...and delicious! read more

I attended a party in February where Jaime provided the food, and it was so good, I hired him to cater for my birthday party in June. He was really easy to talk to to get everything arranged, he arrived on time, the food was delicious, and he cleared up completely. I was extremely happy I found him. read more

We had a great experience with these guys! Jaime is very polite and professional. I called him Friday morning for a party that Sunday and he was able to help me out. He sent his nephew who did an awesome job! Everybody loved the food!! read more
