I've had Alexa's Catering from her food truck for about 5 years and it always hits for me. I've tried almost every item. Some are good, some are so so. However, if you have the imagination to create something or have a specific request or add on preference, they will do their best to accomplish that. From lettuce wrapped tacos with loads of toppings (Al pastor and shredded beef are my faves) to their omelettes (avocado, sausage, spinach and cheese ), I am not disappointed at all. Rain, shine or even a flat tire, they do their best to be here for everyone. When you see the amount of customers they have standing at their food truck, you know it's poppin. Here, service is always served with a smile regardless if they know you or not. Much love to Alexa and her family & friends that hold it down all year round! read more

Alexa's Catering - Bagel with cream cheese, avocado and half of my omelette with spinach, cheese and sausage. - Mexican Near Me

I bring my lunch most every day but on occasion I forget it at home and eat at this food truck outside my office. There are people in my office who eat there every single day and love it but I don't like it that much. I wish I did because the prices are really good if you like what you eat and they have a huge menu. The tortilla and albondiga soups are tasty with lots of meat but have so much salt. Once I had a breakfast burrito that had a bunch of eggshells in it. I took it back and they made me a substandard sandwich instead. I had some tacos on Taco Tuesday and they were cheap but not very good. Today I got a chicken wrap which one half was almost all lettuce and fell apart immediately. The other half was decent and had more chicken and also had cheese which wasn't on the other half. I think I give up. read more

Delicious food and amazing service! I love Mexican food and this really hit the spot. 10/10 would recommend!!!!

I loved everything about this food truck! The food and service were amazing. Liz was so kind and I would definitely come back again!

Great food and service. I would recommend in a heart beat for any occasion. Food is delicious

The fact that you can still get deals like this in 2023 gives me hope for the world. The food here is addicting and the staff are amazing. Thanks for feeding so many people delicious food Alexa! You are the best!!! read more

Alexa is probably the nicest food truck operator I've ever met. She remembers your name and your order once you've ordered a few times. All of her staff are really friendly and they make some really good food! Alexa has pretty much everything on the menu and if it's not on there, she'll most likely still make it for you. The prices are really good and the food is really good. On Taco Tuesday you can get any taco she has for $1. Why pay $3-$4 per taco at another place when you can get really good ones for $1! Alexa accepts credit cards, cash and now Venmo which is awesome. Alexa also makes hundreds of breakfast burritos for our company every few months when we have a breakfast event and they are all really good! If Alexa is setting up by you for the first time, definitely go check her and her awesome food truck out! read more

Yumm!!! On Tuesdays, they have $1 tacos. Their adobada and asada was pretty good and their chicken was good too! I just didnt like the carnitas or shredded beef because I dont like shredded meats. All tacos came with fresh avocado! I also tried their california burrito! It was pretty good but it was a bit too salty and there was no pico de gallo to help tone down the saltiness. Other than that, $5 for a burrito is a pretty good deal! read more

I've come back here a few times now and it confirms that this is a pretty good taco truck (in Irvine, that is) for a lunch pit stop. I've tried the tacos with carnitas and fish, both were good. I liked how they use guacamole on them. I also tried the carne asada torta. I like how they season the carne asada and on the sandwich they put lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos and also, sour cream. I enjoyed the sandwich especially because they toast the bread! The whole sandwich just didn't taste like it came off a taco truck!! Will make this a stop whenever I feel the need for a roach coach fix but don't want to drive far. read more

Everything about these food trucks are great! The menu is huge, the prices are really, really affordable ($2.00 mini breakfast burritos that are PACKED). I hardly ever spend more than $5 or $6 for a great lunch. The workers are fast and really friendly. Did I mention the food is incredible! If you see a huge line, don't worry, it moves fast - but there will be a line because everyone, and I mean everyone, loves these trucks! read more

iCinco de Mayo! What else would a Korean man eat other than Mexican food? Nothing! My colleague's apartment complex has a different truck come every Thursday and when he found out Alexa was going to be there, he invited me over to grub. And grub we did. Between the two of us, we ordered six tacos (two each of the carne asada, carnitas and al pastor), a breakfast burrito and carne asada fries. And that was just as an appetizer. No, I'm just kidding; that was our meal. Relax. The tacos were good; they all came w/ onions, cilantro, guacamole and salsa. In all honesty, they didn't blow me away with flavor, but I enjoyed each one, especially the al pastor. I've had al pastor that was way too salty, but this one tasted really good. The breakfast burrito was a bit smaller than I'm used to and it also didn't have too much flavor, but I liked it. I'm a sucker for breakfast burritos, so I would probably order this again... but I wish it had a bit more personality. Looks can only get you so far, know what I'm sayin'? Finally, the carne asada fries, in my opinion, stole the show. Generous amounts of carne asada, cheese, guacamole and sour cream were given, but the thing that stood out to me was how the fries remained crispy throughout our meal. The fries themselves aren't anything out of the ordinary; they're basically the Ore-Ida fries you can get at a market, but they were perfectly crispy. 3.5 stars. I wouldn't go out of my way to find them, but if I see them, I won't hesitate to pull over. read more

So I have a story for you guys. This food truck is parked outside my office at like ten a.m. everyday. This review is about three of their menus items. First day I was here I heard rave reviews about the Breakfast Burrito. After trying it for myself I'm convinced my coworkers either don't have very good taste buds or they're not really used to good food in general. The first bite, it was gummy and it was if I was eating cardboard scrambled eggs. So I tried it with the sauce they give you upon purchasing it, and that scorched my tongue. Then I got to the bacon. It was hard, oily and tough to chew. So death to the breakfast burrito. Waste of four dollars I could have bought two monsters with. Second day I was there I had the Steak and Egg Burrito. Let's just say you're better off eating a dried prune, chances are that'll have more juice and flavor. The protein was over cooked, tough, dry like the Sahara desert and the salsa sauce was very salty and spicy. I mean if you're going to make a sauce you give out to everyone shouldn't it be mild? Another four dollars wasted. The third day I went to the truck, I had heard from multiple people that the grilled cheese was amazingly delicious so I thought I'd give this food truck one last time to redeem itself. But sadly it disappointed just like the two previous times. I mean really? HOW DO YOU MESS UP A GRILLED CHEESE?!??! I went with the Wheat Bread Grilled Cheese. One side was burnt and chard while the other side wasn't even toasted. The cheese wasn't melted all the way and it was just horribly greasy. Yet another $2.50 wasted. So in closing and $10.50 later I've concluded that I'd rather make my own damn food than go to this food truck again. I'm thoroughly convinced this food truck should go out if business. I mean how do you mess up a damn grilled cheese sandwich. read more

Alexa's Catering - This is bullshit. - Mexican Near Me

I've been a loyal customer for this truck for almost 5 months now. She really cares for her customers and even remembers your name. I come out and buy from her truck at least once a week. A lot of times is more than that (she makes a stop at my work M-F). She always has her specials written on her mini white board. Some of the usual ones are taco Tuesdays and shrimp cocktail Fridays. She can also make you whatever item she has on her larger menu and you can customize it however you want. For instance, I love all the items described in her veggie burrito, but I just ask her to remove the sour cream and add chicken to it, and she does it!! she also has a huge drink selection and a variety of snacks to choose from. read more

When you think the "Roach Coach", you get a bad taste in your mouth right??? Well, when you hear the cry of the horn when Alexa comes driving through the parking lot. You know its time! Where else can you get a place come to your office for lunch (even breakfast for that manner) with the most punctual time at 12:45pm. Unfortunately, I can't speak for today as they were a bit late (1pm). However, it was tuesday and you know Taco Tuesday rings in the mind. $1 tacos (carne asada, al pastor, chicken, spicy chicken, shredded beef, etc). This is actually the 2nd time giving the "roach coach" a try. The first time, I had ordered Carne Asada Fries and a drink for $4.75. That is when I learn that Tuesday's is taco tuesday for them. Redeeming myself today, I ordered two tacos (Carne Asada & El Pastor) + rice & beans + 12oz Dr. Pepper = $3.75. You can't ask more for lunch than a inexpensive lunch in Irvine/Tustin area. They have a variety of food offered on this white truck. Sandwiches, mexican food, chips, sweets, drinks. Its like a ice cream truck for the working middle class tax payer! Hear the cry and people come out of their office cubes with smiles. Go back with food in their hands with smiles. Save on gas, save on money. Best alternative in this turning events of the economy!!! read more

I don't go out to the lunch truck that often since I typically go home for lunch but today was just one of those days that I didn't go home and really didn't want to drive anywhere so I decided to walk over to the lunch truck to see what was available. I got 2 mahi mahi skewers with rice and veggies for a total of $5.50. Very reasonable priced. Overall the food was decent, filling, and easy on the wallet. Everything was fresh, made that day, not necessarily that moment as it wasn't piping hot but warm. I can see why so many people frequent the truck because its just your good old fashion lunch truck with the basic essentials but also enough variety that make it a good value and alternative to your typical fast food joint. read more

I really enjoy Alexas Catering, Liz and her team are great at what they do. Feeding me... I have been going to "Liz" as we call it, going on 3 yrs now. Alexas catering is a family bases business and you can tell because they treat everyone like family. They have great $1 Taco Tuesdays, they even have papa tacos. Everyone has their favorite dish or special dish she prepares as well, I do a Protein Burrito, its a Bean, Cheese burrito with two sunny side eggs. Mmm. They also has a variety of Salads, Fruits bowls and other health snacks as well. If you see Alexas Catering pulling up, Dont hesitate to walk up and see what's for Breakfast or Lunch. I recommend their: Tacos Burritos Malibu Chicken Sandwich Thank you Liz and Alexa Catering read more

Alexa's Catering - Malibu Chicken Sandwich, seasoned fries and a coke. Lunch in my car. - Mexican Near Me

I usually see Alexa's at horse shows in Orange County but she occasionally is near my work in Santa Ana too. I can't see her truck and not get something. Everything is delicious. My favorites are the chicken tortilla soup, tacos and the chicken cobb salad minus eggs. The fruit bowls are refreshing and always have alot of pineapple and strawberries. The food, price and service can't be beat. read more

I had Alexa catering for my wedding cocktail hour. My husband and I thought it would be super cool to have a fun wedding and have a taco truck during our cocktail hour, so I started looking into tacos trucks on yelp. I got possibly 7 or 8 quotes (so many options around Orange County), and Alexa was still the cheapest one! I narrowed it down to 2 taco truck options, and I started texting Alexa. She is normally in an Irvine Business Complex during weekday lunch hours, so I texted her which day and time I can meet up with her. My husband and I showed up on a Wednesday afternoon, and we ordered a few tacos to try as well as some chips and guac. Right after I ordered, she asked if I was Jessica, and I said I was! So she said she was busy right now, but go try the tacos, and we can chat later when she was done with her customers. She even said we didn't have to pay her, too kind! We tried the tacos, and we love how she puts a bit of guac in her tacos. Definitely very, very juicy. We tried a few tacos to see which ones we liked, and honestly we liked most of them. We decided to go with Alexa for the cocktail hour. She charged us $2/taco, $40 for a half pan of guac, and $5 for a giant bag of chips and salsa. We told her 150 tacos, 50 shrimp, 50 carne asada, and 50 beef? I think? I can't remember, but I remember 2 red meats, and 1 seafood option, so it was a total of roughly $350 for the 1 hour of tacos for 150 tacos. When we met up with her after we ate, she was so sweet. She congratulated us on our engagement, and asked if we liked it. We told her we were going to go with her, told her the time and place, and what we wanted. She added it to her calendar, and just ask for me to confirm with her the Wednesday before the wedding. She didn't even need a deposit, she said just pay her that day. On my wedding day, she got there at 5:30 and started serving by 6PM. EVERYONE LOVED THE TACOS!! Even my mom, who doesn't really eat much Mexican food liked it! And I saw a lot of people lining up! When I approached her at the end of happy hour, she told me congratulations, and I said thank you and if she went over. She said she would have to do a count and let me know, but she was pretty sure she made more. We ordered 150 tacos, and she ended up making 288~ tacos at our wedding, one hour or so. I was so happy she brought enough to make more than 150 tacos!! I would have been so sad if it ran out. I even texted her on Monday to ask how much we owe her. And she got back to me, but I love that she didn't even ask for the difference right away. So kind, and I love that she did not rush payment at all!! Even my guests who say they normally don't like tacos asked me where I got them from! I know a few friends had 3+ tacos, and a lot of people were so full for the main dinner!!!! Highly recommend!!! :) read more

Alexa is the best! Sweetest staff you'll ever come by with a great menu and amazing taste! Love seeing her at the horse shows and private events. We even used Alexa catering for a baby shower, everyone loved it! Always hear great comments when Alexa caters to our events. read more

Alexa's Catering - a tray of tacos - Mexican Near Me

Consistently amazing year after year! Everything is amazing! Some of my favorites are the homemade tortillas soup, breakfast burrito and loaded tater tots. Alexa caters too! She will never disappoint. read more

I've used Alexa's to cater many personal & professional events. The food is delicious and extremely affordable. It's so good that I've recommended them to so many of my friends & family! read more

Alexa comes by my work twice a day, which is super convenient when you don't have time to leave the office. They are super cheap and tasty. Everything from the burritos to the sandwiches are really good. And on Tuesdays, tacos are only $1. :) The menu changes daily. read more

Star for being in Irvine! Star for meeting Carolyn C., Ryan C, and Christian Z. Three stars for the tasty carnitas tacos. I will try the salsa next time! Can't beat a full lunch for $4.50. I might take my change and hit Koo's for dessert after work. read more

After driving by time after time, I decided to finally stop and give it a shot. This taco truck is parked on the side of the street. There is always some people, or family, around munching on these little tasties. The prices are good too, about .80cents for most, if not all, of their items. I assume they add a little tax or something because my four carne asada tacos came up to $3.25, not bad .. not bad at all kids. I also love how they have different types of salsa for you, from mild to hot and red to green. Love the red hot, it went along great with the tacos. The tacos were delicious and they were hot and warm, just to order. Can't wait to go back for more. read more

All of the names synonymous with a lunch truck (roach coach, barf cart, etc) do not apply to this one. Alexa's catering comes by everyday to our business park off Commerce and El Camino in Irvine & they BY FAR have the best tacos! The carnitas taco is what really does it for me. It's $1.50 ($1 on Tuesdays) and it comes in a corn tortilla, & has guacamole, onions and cilantro. The salsa is a little spicy for me (yes, I know I'm weak sauce already!) so I always order it without. I think I've had a taco everyday this week for brunch!! I've tried some of the other stuff but they're all average & never really stuck. I do like the bowls of fruit, potato/egg burrito, and grilled cheese sandwich but not as much as the carnitas tacos. YUM! The prices are pretty low, which is great for my wallet. She also opens a tab for those that are regular customers (like a few of my co-workers), has an atm machine, and gives cash back (up to $20, I think). Oooh how I wish I had another taco right now.... read more

I love this truck. They are in my office parking lot just about every day. They make incredibly good tacos and only charge $1.50 for them. They 're even cheaper, $1.00 on Taco Tuesdays! The crunchy tacos are amazing. They fill a tortilla with your choice of meat, fold it in half and then deep fry it. After it's fried they will them with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and cheese. The service at this truck is extremely friendly and they happily take special orders. They usually don't even charge when you want some extras on your food. Breakfast is served all day Bottom Line: Fantastic Food, GREAT Prices! read more

My favorite are the carnitas tacos, the spicy chicken tacos and the ceviche!! Yum!! (ceviche only avail. on Fridays) Taco Tuesdays only $1 each!!! read more

Alexa is AMAZING!!! Not only the best food ever but the best service! Everything on the menu is to die for. My all time favorite is the chicken tortilla soup!!! I highly reccomend Alexa's Catering!!! read more

I've graced many a "Roach Coach" over the years and this is hands down the single greatest food truck I've ever been to. Straight to the point, get the Chicken and Steak Quesadilla, they'll make it half and half with sides of Quacamole, Sour Cream and Hot Sauce for dipping. At $3.75 it won't kill your pockets and its a nice filler. Pretty much everything else is on point at this taco truck,. We always have a line at the truck at the speed in which they prepare it is solid. With 8 people in front of me after I ordered/payed, I waited only 15 minutes for my food. read more

Liz and her GOURMET lunch truck!!! She is my ultimate lunch savior! Anytime I forget (or too lazy) to bring my own lunch, I always know I have a reliable, cheap and delicious lunch food source coming my way at ~11:15am (she seems to know exactly when I get hungry!). I guess I have been truly spoiled by Alexa's Catering. I bring by some of my lunch food sometimes to my boyfriend (who also gets a lunch truck - that lives up to the name "roach coach") and he refers to Alexa's Catering as the Gourmet Lunch Truck. I've tried numerous items (what does she not have??): - Taco Tuesdays - Carne Asada/Carnitas - Spaghetti Thursdays - Chicken Tortilla Soup (for when I'm feeling a bit under the weather) - Seasoned Fries - Tater Tots - Onion Rings - Extra Crispy Beef Chimichanga - Carne Asada Sandwich - And the list goes on!! Thanks for feeding me well, Alexa's Catering! read more

Alexa is the best! I've been working in Irvine for about a year, and everyone in my office watches the clock for 2pm for Alexa to come by! She's absolutely sweet and if there's ever anything you're looking for, she'll get it for you! I found these amazing cupcakes at Sam's Club and told her about them and now she carries them! I'm also a very picky eater and Alexa and her crew always makes food I love! The Salmon Tacos on Thursday's are the BEST, but other days I'll get a mix of pork tacos, turkey sandwich, or chicken salad with spinach. read more

Outstanding customer service, awesome prices, and they come to our office! Super impressed and can't wait to try more. Breakfast burritos are amazing!! read more

Dear Alexa's Catering, You are hands down my favorite lunch option. You have truly been there for me; with a melty quesadilla or filling burrito when I'm sad or some chicken and veggies when I'm feeling healthy. You're endless pursuit to provide lunch time happiness improves my workday tenfold. You are always courteous and helpful. You create such an atmosphere of fierce loyalty that I feel guilty going to any other food truck. Thank you for accepting my business, your delicious food and low prices make it worth it! Love, A happy, satisfied and full patron read more

Alexa Catering is amazing!!! You can't beat the price anywhere in the OC..(believe me I have looked)! Both owners Alexa and Liz are great people. This catering truck is no ordinary catering truck. (I promise)...I have been getting my lunch and breakfast for the past 4 years located right outside my work in Tustin corporate area. I think the thing that fascinates me the most is no matter how many restaurants are in the Tustin Marketplace Alexa's trucks conquers my need for low cost breakfast and lunch, the friendliest people, extremely fast(when you are in crunch time at work) and best of all I don't waste money on gas or time, "My favorites" can go on forever...but to keep it short I recommend their Mexican pozole, carnitas tacos, and breakfast burritos..oh and don't forget their salsa. Also, Alexa offers a convenient debit/credit ATM Machine w/ cash back, customer tabs, and catering services for any special events. She actually catered my mom's surprise party and my guests loved her presentation of the food and the taste of course. =) read more

Alexa remembers my name, and my picky way of eating a burrito... which she so awesomely calls an Amanda Burrito. I didn't eat it for a whole month and she still remembered everything. She's nice, and all of her food is good. My favorite is the Taco Tuesdays... but on the off-days, I like to get a Mini Carne Asada burrito [or two, if I'm feeling dangerous]. Thanks for bringing me lunch Alex, you make my days brighter! read more

I don't know what took me so long to Yelp this truck.... But one great thing that I can relay about Alexa's Catering is that it has a pretty impressive Menu for such a restricted place. THAT - and they have the staple dishes like fries, burgers, and burritos on the Daily. If I sould change one thing.. I'm not sure if it's because it's food off of a Truck or because they have mulitiple chef's but somedays, my fries come hot, crunchy and cooked well. Other days they're over-cooked, and borderline burnt. Yeesh. Maybe I'm just expecting a little too much from the Little Truck? read more

Alexa's foodtruck swings by our office every morning, and needless to say I love her food and the small requests she can do for me, like adding cheese to my tater-tots. Yum! She is super friendly and, her food is always on point, and definitely has a variety of meals and beverages to choose from at an excellent price. I always look forward to her Friday shrimp tacos! YUMMM! read more
