I've used Mari several times over the past 10 years and for significant events like a 50th and 60th birthday and her food is absolutely amazing and her staff is stellar! thank you for always providing an amazing time in our events! :o) Doug read more

Mari and Juan catered my cousin's baby shower (50+ people, near Livermore), and they did a fantastic job! The entire menu was vegetarian (vegan friendly) - a complete taco bar, a soyrizo / potato filling, green enchiladas, red enchiladas (non vegan), salsa, rice, beans, and a side of saucy tofu as well. The food was delicious and abundant, with the duo serving hot corn and flour tortillas to order. My favorite dishes were definitely the tacos with the vegetarian filling (well spiced and hearty), which I piled high with tomato and cilantro, and the green enchiladas (especially with extra green salsa). Mari and Juan were so helpful managing the food - we did not have to worry about everyone being happily fed. We would highly recommend for future catering needs and a vegetarian friendly menu! read more

Mari and Juan catered for my baby niece's naming ceremony which had around 25 people. They did an amazing job. They were super communicative and accommodating. We had carne asada, al pastor, soyrizo and potatoes, chicken, and plenty of sides. They also included quesadillas for us. Everything was delicious! read more

Mari and her team do a fantastic job with catering. I had an event for 40 people and they did not disappoint. Communication is great. They came out complete with taco cart and all the fixins. Thank you! read more

Mari came highly recommended from a friend and she did not disappoint. We hired her to feed 60 people for a graduation party and agreed we would use her again in a heartbeat. The food was delicious, communication was quick and clear, and she was so organized! We knew exactly what we needed to do ahead of time (not much, she takes care of everything and asks only for a couple tables and ice!) and service ran so smoothly. We had the perfect amount of food for our guests. Can't wait to use her again in the future! read more

Mari and her husband are awesome! Was recommended by family friends who've used them multiple times before. They've catered for my family couple times since. We pivoted and planned a last minute grad party for my daughter and Mari was able to help on short notice. They come prepared with everything and only needed us to have a table and ice available. Always yummy food and friendly service. They leave all the food which is amazing. Thanks Mari! read more

I had contracted Mari to cater my party this past weekend for 80 people and even with unexpected guests who came and made the count 91 she and her husband feed everyone. They were the talk of the party. Her food is so good everyone wondered if she had a restaurant or food truck. They are very accommodating and easy to work with. There were absolutely no complaints regarding neither the food nor the service. Each person got their plate freshly made by Mari piping hot. Then each person put their own condiments on their taco or hot dog. I would definitely recommend Mari to cater your next event. read more

We've used Mari and her team a few times now for our gatherings, typically 50+ people. The pricing is fair especially considering we end up with leftovers! No one goes hungry and the food is fresh and fantastic! Mari and her hubby now tell us based on being at our home a few times, "next time we'll do this or that" and I love her helpful comments. Our guests love the food and they look forward to our gatherings. I love that I get to enjoy the event and each experience is better than the last! They are definitely our "go to" people! Thanks for another incredible event! See you soon! read more

We just had Mari cater for our baby shower and we couldn't be happier! This is our second time having Mari cater for us and she once again went above and beyond. Mari added extra decorations to her taco table and all our guests raved about how delicious the food was. Tacos, quesadillas, ceviche! Mari and her team are the sweetest and always go the extra mile. We can't wait to have Mari cater our next event! read more

I have been a customer for over 12 years. I have referred Mari over 50 times and used her myself over 15 times through the years. Mari and staff are always prompt and responsive in their communication (email is a usually the quickest). They quotes and pricing are accurate and competitive. They always show up early and prepare for the event. Mari confirms everything you will need/want for the event. They are friendly and professional during the party, and they leave you all the leftovers (have your containers ready). I feel 100% confident recommending Tequila's Dona Mari for your next event. read more

Wonderful day . Very courteous and hard working mother and son team . We ordered food for 45 people and every person loved the food. Very tasty tacos with all the trimmings . We've now used the family business three times and will always use them in the future. Bruce. read more

A coworker recommended Mari for a recent event I was organizing at a golf course, and I am so glad I reached out to her for catering. We decided we wanted bacon wrapped hot dogs and Mari did not disappoint. Mari and her team offered bacon wrapped hot dogs with all the topping you could think of. She also offers the option of including chili cheese dogs which was a big hit at our event. You keep all the left overs and fortunately there wasn't much left for us to keep - we ordered the perfect amount. Mari and her team were very clean, prompt, professional and took all the necessary COVID precautions.I look forward to hiring Mari again in the future for any professional or personal events. read more

Wow!! Absolutely spectacular food!! Sooo delicious and now we have tons of leftovers too! Our guests went back for seconds and thirds! Mari was lovely to work with, very responsive to phone calls and emails, and is so very talented! We have hired a few taquiza companies and these were by far the BEST! She is so friendly, helpful and accommodating. We loved the chicken, carnitas and soy chorizo. She even brings guacamole and chips and made some quesadillas (big hit with the kiddos). We will definitely call her again!! read more

Great and delicious tacos!! They came early to set up and we had plenty of food! The chorizo and papas is a must!! Thank you!

The tacos and service from beginning to end was A+! Choices of meats, beans , rice and toppings were amazing fresh and tasty! Definitely going to use this service again and again!! read more

Taquiza's catered my 50th birthday party for 115 people. not only was the food delicious,(Chicken/Beef/Chorizo and Potatoes/ Rice/Beans and all the fixings) Mari and her crew were very personable, kind and very accommodating. Definitely will be hiring them again for my next big event! read more

Mari and Juan were so incredible! The food was delicious, the plating was beautiful, and Mari + Juan were so kind to all of our guests. Everyone was asking about the catering + talking about hiring them for future events ;) I'm definitely planning on working with Mari again. I truly appreciated how thoughtful Mari was in planning and setup to ensure that it was a seamless transition when her time at the event ended. It was very low effort for the host, which is always a win! Many thanks, Mari, for doing a great job for us! read more

Had a party for my brothers 4th birthday! The tacos are great and had amazing beans and rice for sides. The salsa had a great kick but wasn't too spicy. Would do it all over again! read more

Mari was amazing! Clear communication throughout and her English was excellent! We had a company lunch meeting, totally casual and I was amazed how professional the set up was (see pic). I have had other taco lady before, even for company event, it never look so professional!! Our lunch was at 11:30a, and because it was raining and Mari didn't want to be late, they arrived at 9am! Our work location didn't allow propane tank (for safety reason) in the building or the parking lot. They brought electric griddle and use the microwave. They were definitely creative to get the job done. We had 3 meats (chicken, carnitas and carve asada) and a vegetarian (potato soy chorizo), they were ALL delicious. My absolute favorite is their carnitas. They also have the Aqua Fresca water which other taco lady doesn't include. We had watermelon and was yummy!! One other plus was they take credit card but the fees were quiet high. We had no choice because we had to charge the event on company credit card. I am definitely a repeat customer! Everyone in the office love the food! Everything was amazing!!! read more

Everything was amazing! They were easy to contact and helpful in planing what food to choose for our party. They arrived early and set up everything beautifully for our event. I was expecting great food because of the wonderful reviews but it still exceeded my high expectations. Most guests loved it so much they went back for seconds or thirds and there was still leftovers that they carefully packed up for us. Many of our guests asked for their information for their own parties. They were professional, friendly and helpful with everything. read more

We had Mari and her associate for our son's birthday party. It was amazing food. Everyone loved it. They were on time (a little before even when we had reached the place), had the food cooked and ready precisely when they said it would be. We had some dietary restrictions (vegetarian), and she was able to accommodate that and make suggestions for what additional things she can do. Can't recommend her enough! read more

I hired Mari and her team for a baby shower at work and was so impressed with everything about their services. From the start, Mari was responsive and wonderful with communicating the pricing and details for catering an event. They showed up promptly and were completely set and ready to go 15 minutes before the event start time and guests began to arrive. The setup was beautiful and the food was amazing. We went with the carne asada, pollo and carnitas, and I would get them all again. The salsas were very tasty and the sides all fresh. I would highly recommend Taquiza's Dona Mari and will be using them again for future events! Thank you Mari and team for making the shower a memorable event for the mom to be and her guests! read more

Mari catered my dad's birthday party. What a wonderful job she did and the food was superb! Mari was friendly, professional and a pleasure to deal with. She took care of all the details. She and her coworker arrived punctually and were ready to serve by the time our guests arrived. After the party, our guests were remarking on how wonderful the food was! I would not hesitate to recommend Mari's service. read more

We definitely would contact Mari and Dona Mari's Taquiza for future events! read more

The food is delicious. Mari and her husband are wonderful people and easy to work with. I've had Taquiza's Doña Mari twice now. The first time was for my retirement party. My boss at work handled all the arrangements and I just showed up and ate. This time, I was in charge of setting it up for my wife's retirement party. They were early (early is on time) and prepping before I got to the venue. Mari already had the beans, rice, salsa, etc. area setup. She also helped guide us on some of our setup. I haven't set up many events like this and it was great how she could see my fumbling about and offer help! As for the food, it was delicious. They had a delicious vegetarian option (soy chorizo and potato) as well as meat choices. My wife is vegetarian and between that, the quesadilla option we went with, and all the sides, she had plenty to eat! So many of our guests commented on how good the food was. Luckily for us, we estimated too much so we had lots of leftovers. That was fun too! If you need a Taquiza for any event, I would not hesitate to recommend Taquiza's Doña Mari as a first choice! If they are available, you'll get delicious food cooked and served by friendly, caring people! read more

Having read through all the amazing 5 star reviews that Mari had, I have to admit that I was very excited to be hosting our first Taquiza dinner party. Mari and her team came extra early to set everything up and it truly was amazing. First, the food was delicious! We went for a selection of three meats as recommended by Mari. Everything was cooked to perfection- well seasoned and tender. I love that she offered both corn and flour tortillas. The extra spread of toppings were so much more than I expected! There were grilled onions, grilled peppers, lettuce, cilantro, pico di gallo, two salsas, rice, beans, guacamole, raw onions, turnips, chips, etc! Everyone in our group was so amazed by the quantity and quality of the food. There was sooo much food leftover and Mari packed everything up for us to keep. What a gem of an experience. All our guests were raving. Mari was also such a nice person and everyone loved her and her husband who was at the grill. I recommend her 110% and will definitely call her up again soon for our next event. Thank you Mari for such an amazing evening!! read more

Amazing taco service! Mari was quick to respond and always communicated well. So much delicious food at a great price. Her tacos were a big hit at my party and there was plenty with lots of leftovers. Very professional, cleaned up, packed the leftovers for us and were very friendly. Thank you! read more

Thank you Alicia B for recommending Mary and her catering. I took a chance and hired her catering services and boy am I glad I did! I just had a party this past weekend and it was fabulous. Everyone was raving about how awesome the food was and what a great party idea. I held the even at a park and Juan and his daughter came out 1 hour prior to the party to set up. They were very nice, professional and friendly. I had ordered the 3 basic meats..Pollo, Carne Asada, and Carnitas. I also had them add quesadilla's for an extra 20.00 This is what I got for 35 people: 3 kinds of meat corn tortillas to make taco's All the fixins which included: Grilled peppers- mmm Grilled sweet onions Rice & Beans Horchata (you can pick whatever water drink you want) cabbage raddish cilantro limes 3 kinds of salsa (all yummy!) guacamole -mmm delicious chips napkins, forks, plates and probably more but I might be forgetting some items. They have their own tables and Gazebo set up. A lot of my friends loved it and I'm sure they will be using Mary and Juan in the future. I also plan on having a work event hosted by them in the near future. It was perfect for a large party with tons of kids. Thank you!! read more

We hired this company for a medium sized event. We had a large influx of people we did not anticipate to arrive, so we ran past the amount of food we paid for. The ladies thankfully brought extra for issues like this! They happily agreed to continue to cook food for our guests to meet the hungry persons needs! Of course we were invoiced for the extra expense, yet, we were happy to pay to keep our guests happy! Without their excellent preparations, we would have had to end the party early. Oh and the food is really nicely prepared right on site!!!!!! read more

We have used this service at least 3 times and have always been extremely happy!! All you have to do is make the phone call, schedule, decide the meat you want and they will handle every thing else!! The meat, the service, and the employees are all fantastic. Her prices have gone up a very tiny bit in the past 4 years. But it wasn't too much and still very affordable. Especially considering all that you receive. We highly recommend you give them a try, you won't be disappointed. xo read more

Excellent service from the start. I e-mailed her to get a quote and she was very prompt and answered all of my questions. She also checked in with me days before the event to make sure all the details were correct. Day of the event, they showed up early to set everything up, their display was neatly arranged and a lot of choices by the time our event started food was all ready. Food tasted great, as well as the agua fresca. When the event was over, they neatly put all the left over stuff on one of our tables. They cleaned up everything really good. Very happy with the service and I'd definitely recommend them! read more

We hired Mari for our company event. Our initial caterer had canceled and we had to scramble to find another caterer. Luckily Mari came to the rescue! She was great at communicating via email and text. They came very early to set up and everything was presented nicely.

We booked them in less than a week but everything worked out! I have had many different Taco vendors at our parties. I also used to be a wedding planner so very familiar with the business. Was so happy they were able to come at the last minute for a baby shower that we hosted. Arrived on time. Very friendly and professional and most important, their food was yummy! The carne Assad, Carnitas, chicken were so flavorful. They brought all the fixings and the home made Mango juice! Actually thinking about hiring them again soon! read more
