I hired Cali Craft Tacos for my son's birthday celebration and could not be more impressed. From the very first inquiry, they were responsive, clear, and easy to communicate with -- May answered every question promptly and kept me in the loop leading up to the event. The pricing was incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity of food provided. On the day of the party, they arrived on time, set up efficiently, and were ready to serve when we agreed--no stress, no delays. But the real star of the show was the food itself. Every taco came out hot and fresh and packed with flavor. If you're looking for a caterer who is professional, affordable, punctual, and -- most importantly -- makes absolutely delicious food, look no further. Thanks so much. read more

We hired Cali Craft Tacos to cater a small party. They were very helpful with getting the menu together. The food arrived promptly and was hot. All of our guests gave the food high marks. Would definitely hire them again. read more

Honestly this was pretty decent for ordering from ubereats. Jamaica could've been a bit less flat but it was still good. The tacos were pretty decent, but I've had way better shrimp and fish tacos by far. I like that they offer this nice deal though! 3 tacos and rice and beans. The beans were ok. I would like to try this in person and maybe have a difference experience. I would rate it 3.5/5 but there are no half points. read more

Gross food. Really gross inedible shrimp and tacos were so soggy when they arrived you couldn't even pick them up, falling apart and wet gross tortillas. And one taco was the wrong taco. Don't order here and definitely don't get seafood here I felt sick after trying to eat this. ** Edit after the restaurant commented below: **this is definitely the correct location. My lunch was pretty pitiful and falling apart, tacos weren't even able to be picked up, incorrect, and not fresh tasting shrimp today. Please do better and don't gaslight your customers after they leave a correct location review. ***second edit NO ONE ORDER FROM HERE!!!!!!!! Manager is LYING below. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I absolutely ordered from here yesterday, lies and lies in restaurant comments below) read more

I ordered some catering for 12 for an afternoon family event this past weekend and was so incredibly impressed! I literally picked this place by reviews alone and the masses did not disappoint. We did the Golden Taco Package, along with Esquites, Guacamole, Chips/Salsa, and Churros. The food arrived exactly when delivery time was scheduled. They provided serving spoons along with free tableware which was great since we were doing everything outdoors. Everyone was so incredibly complimentary of the food and how delicious it was. Everyone was so anxious to dig into the food, I had completely forgotten to take photos of the delicious spread that was delivered with all the various sauces, etc. Hands down, if I ever need catering for another event in San Diego - this will be my go to! read more

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Cali Craft Tacos for our wedding, and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Our wedding had a Mexican theme, and we decided to go with street tacos as the main course. From the moment we contacted May and Eric at Cali Craft Tacos, they went above and beyond to ensure that our menu was perfect for our guests. May, from Cali Craft Tacos, was incredibly helpful and patient in helping us choose the right combination of tacos for our special day. She understood our vision and worked closely with us to create a menu that would leave our guests satisfied. Eric's and May's close attention to detail and expertise in Mexican cuisine made us feel confident that our food would be a highlight of the event (spoiler alert..it was!). Not only did May and Erik help us with the menu, but they also played a crucial role in calming our nerves before our big day. Their friendly and reassuring demeanor made us feel at ease, knowing that we were in good hands. May and Erik truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went flawlessly on our wedding day. One of the standout dishes during the cocktail hour was the tostaditas de tinga. They were an absolute hit with our guests, and we received nothing but positive feedback!! The flavors were vibrant and authentic, and the presentation was visually appealing. It set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The guacamole and salsas were fresh and homemade and our guests loved those sides too!! For the main course, we decided to offer a variety of tacos from Cali Craft Tacos. We had chicken tacos for the kids and as a safe option for guests with any dietary restrictions (the chicken was still a delicious option by the way). The Baja-style fish tacos were incredibly delicious, with the fish cooked to perfection and topped with fresh toppings. The al pastor tacos were also a crowd favorite, with tender marinated pork and all the traditional fixings like pineapple of course. As for the presentation for the tacos, the tacos had the wedding-esq fancy appearance but that street taco vibe which we absolutely LOVED!! May and Eric from Cali Craft Tacos went the extra mile by not only providing exceptional food but also helping with additional tasks during our event. They graciously offered to cut our cake, which was a wonderful gesture that allowed us to enjoy the moment without any worry. They even accommodated our request to stay for a few extra hours, ensuring that the celebration continued smoothly. We had around 175 guests and everyone was fed in a timely manner. Overall, Cali Craft Tacos' catering service was outstanding. Their attention to detail, personal touch, and genuine care made our wedding day truly memorable. The street tacos were a huge hit, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the flavors. My now wife and I HIGHLY recommend Cali Craft Tacos for any event (especially a wedding) where you want delicious food and a team that truly cares about making your day special!! Thank you May and Eric!! Def keeping you guys in our contacts for future events! read more

Delicious tacos but the ribeye quesadilla was the star of our order. It's enormous and packs a ton of flavor. A little pricey--the quesadilla was about $10 and 3 street-sized tacos were also about $10. But the quality is there and the quesadilla could easily be shared. And there are several protein choices for the tacos, including lobster. One gripe: they need to cut the ribeye meat into bite-size pieces. This is a no brainer, folks. When you bite into a quesadilla, you don't want to be ripping apart huge chunks of meat with your teeth. Solid Mexican food served fast and fresh. I'd happily order from them again. read more

Cali Craft Tacos provided amazing food for our recent event! We really loved the carne asada, pollo, and veggie tacos -- everything was delicious and packaged very well with ample portions for our guests. Everyone we communicated with was also very kind and provided excellent service. We also regularly cater from Cali Craft Tacos twice per month and really enjoy their burritos. Thank you and we will definitely be repeat customers!!! read more

Wow. They're great. I'm so glad that my bosses wife recommended this caterer. I am very happy with their communication, food, decor, service, promptness... you name it! I had an outdoor event for 50 people. They came and setup an appetizer table and made FRESH CHURROS on the spot! Chips, guac and agua fresca were perfection. They have a plethora of 'craft' made tacos. We got a red meat, a seafood and a pork option... you have to read their menus!!! Delish!!! Can't say enough about May. She and her family take great care of their clients. So, if you need a taco bar caterer or have a Mexican theme, try them. They made my party a hit and my life a little easier :) read more

They catered our birthday party for 60 people and not only was the food delicious - people kept coming up to us saying how tender and flavorful the meat was, and yummy the churros were! - but they were super accommodating with the horrible weather we had! It ended up pouring rain and they brought an extra tent to help keep our guests out of the rain. They were super responsive and helpful leading up to the event too just with menu planning, setup, etc. Can't recommend them enough! read more

Can't say enough good things about Cali Craft Taco! We ordered three tacos from the Golden menu (the Golden rib eye, chicken , and al pastor salmon tacos) with sides of rice & beans. All were superb. The leftovers were, if anything, even better the next day. Service was great. Plenty of communication, the food arrived exactly on time, and the delivery person explained how to pair the custom toppings with the correct tacos. We highly recommend the Chocoflan dessert. It was delicious and a big hit with our guests. read more

Went here w the fam after a day in the city. This meal did not disappoint! We had lobster, chicken, rib-eye and steak tacos, asada fries and even some churros and horchata. We left with full bellies and big smiles from the kids. This spot is worth the trip, even their outdoor seating was a nice place to chill. You can't beat quality and Cali Craft delivers! read more

10/10 tacos!! I ordered a large lunch to cater a meeting at my office-- rave reviews all around. The lunch was very popular and I've already gotten requests to order the trio-taco-bar in the future. Also fabulous that the entire meal is gluten-free for our colleagues who are GF. The order arrived on time, everything was labeled (super helpful!) and just delicious. Thank you thank you Cali Craft Tacos! You are rock-stars in my book. :) read more

Cali Craft Tacos made my baby shower an even more special experience. The food was very delicious, the set up was very thoughtful, and they were very professional and organized. My amazement with Cali Craft started in my initial quest for a caterer. I sent some messages on Yelp and May with Cali Craft responded and from there conducted some of the best business I've ever experienced. I asked so many questions and we messaged back-and-forth so much. My family couldn't even believe she didn't get fed up with me with all the questions I was asking. Yet, May responded promptly and professionally every time, while still running her business. She usually had to write close to midnight after she was done catering all day and taking care of her kids in the evening. Business woman and great mother! I loved how Cali Craft had many different options and we were able to choose one that suited us. They can do delivery, buffet, or full on on-site making and serving. We decided to go for the buffet which works great for us. May also individualized our experience by tailoring things to suit my particular needs. She even took time to ask about the theme for my baby shower so she could match some decorations and make a cute menu! Cali Craft is highly recommended in my book. Looking forward to another event I can have (Maybe baby's first birthday!!) so I can have Cali Craft cater this event. Way to go May and Cali Craft team! read more

I was planning a large event for a birthday party and decided to look for a taco catering company. I called many companies and they were all either rude or over priced. I contacted Cali Craft Tacos and the owners were polite and extremely helpful. Best of all, there prices were very affordable and suited my budget. The day of the event their staff arrived early and were all professionally dressed. They didn't take long to set up, and were serving my guests tacos in no time. The food was amazing and are the closest thing to TJ tacos you can find in Southern California. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants great customer service, great food, and affordable prices. I will definitely be hiring them again. They have a customer for life. read more

I just had my baby shower over the weekend and used Cali Craft Tacos to cater it. They were one of the only companies offering an at-location taco cart for 30 guests (most companies had 50-person minimums). My parents went with my husband and I to a street fair near their business location to try the tacos. We thought they were good but a little worried at the disorganization and time it took to get the sampling of tacos. They were generous enough to give us multiple tacos so the 4 of us didn't have to share. The sampling was free of charge. After trying another business's tacos that were terrible, we decided to take a chance on Cali Craft. I was impressed that day of I got a text when they were 30 minutes out, they showed up at the quoted time. 3 ladies came to work the event and were efficient and nice to work with. The food was a hit! We had the Baja Fish Taco, Steak Taco from the Sliver menu and the Al Pastor from the Street menu. We also added on their delicious guacamole. The tablescape they set up to serve you and present the self-serve toppings on is actually really cute. They also make a sign with your menu. I was impressed that after the allotted service time concluded, they packaged up all the leftovers for us. We enjoyed the leftovers all day yesterday. The only glitch day of was that they didn't bring chips... apparently, those don't automatically come with the food or with the added on guacamole like I expected. Could have been my fault for misunderstanding, good thing we have a Vons 3 minutes away. The pricing of the tacos for the quality you get is very good. The add-on service fee for them coming to the event is hefty, but for the quality of service and food, and overall generosity of the company, I ended up thinking it was well worth it. I would 100% recommend using this company to cater your event! read more

Oh my gosh! This team is incredible! They catered our wedding and the set up and presentation of the food was beautiful, all of our guests RAVED about how good the food was, they are so good and quick at communicating and dealing with whatever situations come up at a wedding venue, are so kind and professional! I could not recommend them more for your wedding or any event!! read more

They are amazing. They not just not served great tacos, but they had a beautiful presentation for our party.

There should be a 10 star option on Yelp for a above and beyond rating! My husband and I were in search for Mexican food catering for our son's first birthday. Luckily, I came across Cali Craft Tacos on Yelp and knew I had to reach out upon reading the excellent reviews. I browsed their website for their different options and sent a message via Yelp. Input all the required information (date, number of people, menu choice) and received a reply almost immediately. After a few messages back and forth, I knew we would be in good hands. Responsiveness is key when I interact with vendors... it's a true sign of professionalism and the first impression I received from Cali Craft Tacos was a lasting great one. The transaction was super simple. I received an invoice, paid the deposit and paid the remaining balance on the day of event. They did a great job keeping in touch and confirming details prior to event We originally opted to have the food delivered and our guests were to serve themselves. After some thought, my husband and I figured it would be cool to have the tacos made to order. We asked if it would be possible to have two employees on site to serve. Our contract was revised with the short notice and we had two amazing employees assist us at my sons party. They arrived early to set up and even cleaned up the area afterwards. I literally had no input in helping with anything. Thank you guys so much because that allowed us to focus on our sons party... On to the food...The carne asada, pollo and al pastor were all amazing. All the meat was super fresh and of good quality. They have different menu options, so make sure you check out their website. The was more than enough and the meat was accompanied by spanish rice, beans, tortillas, salsa and all the condiments needed for a perfect, tasty tacos. They provided everything from chafing dishes, menu sign, utensils, napkins, etc... They even boxed up the remaining food for us to take home We got a lot of positive feedback for Cali Craft Tacos from our guests. I'm not surprised though. Everything from start to finish was top notch. From the communication to the food to the service and overall experience... Thank you guys for helping us make our son's birthday party a success!! We'll definitely keep you in mind for our future events!! read more

Recently chose Cali Craft to cater my daughter's first birthday. We decided to have the party at our in-laws in So Cal. So, being away from home I trusted yelp. I contacted several caterers and picked Cali Craft because of the health permit, business license, quick response time and locally sourced ingredients. Everyone at our party raved about the professional set up, taste and variety of toppings/sides (radishes, cucumber, peppers, onion/cilantro...) Eric and his family were very friendly and accommodating and even brought flour tortillas (without us having to ask) since it was a kid's party. Although they made their own corn tortillas on site. read more

I worked with May at Cali Craft Tacos to plan an event for 20 people, but here's the catch. It was for a surprise engagement party. May was so kind and communicative, making sure all my questions were answered and assuring me they could setup and keep things secret. I eventually had my sister take over the planning so she could talk May while I worried about the proposal. They set up everything as planned and parked far away as to not ruin the surprise, and the surprise went perfectly. I think what sets Cali Craft Tacos apart is not only their amazing food but their customer service, the cute and professional setup with the hand written signs and themed and branded decor. My fiancé loved it! Thank you May and Cali Craft Tacos for a wonderful event! P.S. We had plenty of leftovers and they were absolutely delicious the next few days after the party. read more
