We recently hired Zapata Catering for my 76th birthday party. We had actually used them several years before for another 50+person backyard event, and decided to try them again as we were so very satisfied the first time. I contacted Paola from Zapata Catering via text as I had year's prior. And she quickly responded to my text with a detailed description of their menu offerings and with prices of her services. Throughout the process of determining how many people would attend our event, Paola was totally responsive to our texts and would promptly address any concerns we might have had. I really appreciated that. Additionally, I also truly appreciated her warm personality, the friendliness with our guests, her professionalism (arriving on time, the excellent service and cleanup) and kindness as well as the delicious Mexican food for my guests. Everyone enjoyed her service, the quality and serving size of food and the flexibility in making quesadillas, bacon wrapped hotdogs with grilled onions etc. She was assisted by her adult son who demonstrated the same professionalism. Her prices are fair and her "all you can eat" menu based on the number of guests make for an obvious choice for a great backyard event in which someone else does the preparation, cooking and clean up. And she was on time, her set up and meal preparation was about 45-50 minutes, and they both served our guests for 2 hours. And all the comments from our guests were extremely positive. The service was great and the food quality and taste were worthy of my 76th birthday celebration! Thank you, Zapata Catering, for making my day even more special! Our friends have already asked about Zapata Catering, and we too will certainly think about them for our next event. read more

Honestly the Tacos and the hotdogs were AMAZING!! DEFINITELY Recommend! Also very nice people!

Zapata's Taco Catering is the BEST! I have them for all my parties! Paula and her family are so kind and courteous and their food and salsa is amazing! I love their bacon wrapped hotdogs, they are a real hit. Have extra cheese laying around? They are happy to make yummy quesadillas. I would definitely recommend them to cater your next party. You won't be disappointed. read more

I was disappointed that they ran out of rice and beans & Carne asada so fast. I bought extra hotdogs & buns & they refused to cook them. Everything was cooked b4 they got there & they only cooked the jalapenos on the grill. They had 2 teenagers & no adults. The food was fair. read more

This is now the second time we've used Zapatas and I was worried because the first time was a fantastic experience. This time they hit a home run again!! Fast, easy, and friendly coordination to get our event booked. The party was planned around then and they showed up on time for set up and food was ready and being served at exactly the time we requested it. And the food!!! In today's market where good meat is hard to find they came through!! We had their Carne Asada, chicken, and barbacoa and all 3 were high quality and cooked perfectly!!! The girls were friendly and treated all of our guests like they were each a VIP. I love that they do the bacon hot dogs and quesadillas if you provide cheese as this let us offer our guests a wide range of choices and made sure we had something for everyone. Oh and can't forget about the rice and beans both were great and I'm not even a huge rice fan. The topping bar they set us was great and had all the extras that everyone could want. If you are in the market for a taco catering company this is the place! They are an amazing family that puts out an amazing product and they treat their customers like family not just someone there to give them money. We are already thinking of the next event we will be able to have them come back. Thank you Zapatas for another great event! read more

Great food, great service and friendly peeps. Highly recommend. The babacoa tacos are the best!!!

Paola provided excellent communication leading up to our event (Jan 13, 2024). They arrived early to set up and started serving our guests according to the time we stated we wanted to serve our guests, which was about 40 people. All our friends commented on how delicious the tacos were, as well as the selection they got to choose from. Their set up didnt take up much space but was large enough to have space for their condiments and cooking area. The selection of food was chicken, pastor, care asada, bacon wrapped hot dogs, and even cheese quesadillas (we provided the cheese). The pricing was very reasonable compared to others we called, but we liked Paola's demeanor on the phone and the way she didn't make us feel like they were the only ones available for our party. We highly recommend Zapata's for your Taco catering service and will be using them for our next big event. read more

We used Zapatas taco catering for our company holiday party. The food was amazing. Very professional and respectful. They were on time, food was ready at the time we agreed on. I strongly recommend this company. Price was great for as much food and people we had. We ordered enough for 150 people and there was plenty of food. Use this company for your next event, you will not be disappointed. read more

Zapatas tacos catered our house warming party back in January and they were wonderful. They are very reliable and friendly. On the day of the event they arrived early to set up and made sure we had what we needed in terms of the food. Our guests enjoyed the fresh food very much and even asked us for their information. We will definitely be contacting them for our next event. Thank you for being so kind and reliable!! read more

Zapata’s Taco Catering - Victor and Paola serving up delicious tacos , quesadillas and bacon wrapped hot dogs - Caterers Near Me

We just hosted an engagement party for our daughter and her fiancé. I spoke with Paola over a month ago to book the luncheon. She was always available by text and answered my questions immediately. On the day of the event, she came on her own and did such an amazing job! The food was delicious and served with a smile. The guests loved the food and the addition of the hot dogs was a big hit! The only thing I wished for was that they made their own tortilla chips. They were a pre-packaged bag of corn chips. So, if that is a concern, purchase some from your favorite local restaurant. Otherwise...don't hesitate... hire Zapata's for your next event. read more

Highly recommended! My wife surprised me when Zapata's Taco Catering showed up over the weekend for suprise birthday gathering. The communication with Paola was very prompt and informative. Victor, Aida, and Keila were great and arrived 10 minutes before expected time. Aida & Keila cooked/served asada, barbacoa & al pastor along with bacon wrapped hot dogs and grilled onions/jalapeños. Their food and horchata was highly raved/exceptionally delicious. After my wife going through 2 other inquires, Zapata's Taco Catering were amazing from customer service/experience and high quality of food. As other Yelp reviews mentioned, they gave the leftovers including the horchata. They provided the eating utensils, plates, cups. We provided the to-go boxes for our guests to take home leftovers for them to enjoy the rest. With the short notice within 2 weeks of planning, our family would definitely book them in the future and will recommend Zapata's Taco Catering to others looking for a taco catering. read more

Paola and her dad set up prior to my event starting, so the food was ready to serve as soon as guests arrived as requested.

I recommend using them for you parties ! read more

I've been using Zapata's for almost 2 years now. I found them on Yelp and was immediately set on their bacon wrapped hot dogs and barbacoa meat, which by the way most taco catering services don't offer. Let me start off by saying their food is incredibly good. The meats are delicious! They're not dry and have tons of flavor. Their chips and salsa, rice and beans are also good. We've gone through a few taco caters and Zapata's is by far our favorite. We did have a mix up for on of our events. They accidentally brought one of the wrong meats. At first we were a little upset, but again because their meats are very flavorful it wasn't that big of a deal since everyone loved the tacos. Also, their Aquas Frescas are definitely worth getting! read more
