Taco Bar ready to go!

Exceptional service and charming employees. Flor and Erica were a delight! Best of all, the food was outstanding! Our family is STILL talking about the shrimp, as well as the birria/quesadilla tacos, days later. We are SO happy we decided on CaliCraft Tacos to cater our event! Ladies, You helped make our birthday celebration one for the forever memory vault. Thank you!!!

May and her team flawlessly catered 5 corporate events for me in the last few weeks. The food was incredible and we heard nothing but amazing feedback from tenants. I will definitely be reaching out to Cali Craft Tacos for future events!

Tostaditas de Tinga (our guests loved these!! Look at that attention to detail/presentation!!)
Christopher B.

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!

Ribeye quesadilla.  Huge and delicious. Winner, winner.
Craig W.

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.

Al pastor! With pineapple
Arlene P.

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 :)

A relative called this caterer for her son's birthday. The steak, chicken and fish taco they served is delicious. Food is handled carefully and the food station is clean. The staff is friendly and fast. You guys did excellent service!

Cooking the tacos

We couldn't be happier with the service, delicious food and quick, set up and clean up. The two young ladies were delightful and cook and serve a delicious array of tacos. We have used Cali Craft Tacos before for my daughters rehearsal dinner so we knew what we were in store for. I highly recommend them Rich.

Buffet Set Up in the kitchen at my baby shower. This is the salsa bar.

There are so many excellent taquerias in San Diego, and they all have their own great recipes for…read moreMexican food. I particularly enjoy the Adobada tacos from Chula Tacos because they serve a very generous portion of meat, guacamole and are very tasty. The first time I tried them was at their H Street restaurant in Chula Vista, but that location is temporarily closed. I decided to try their Palm Avenue location since I was in the area visiting family. The service was friendly, and the tacos were prepared very quickly. The restaurant was clean. I'm looking forward to the H Street location reopening since it is much closer to where I live. Happy Yelping :)

Sometimes, there are nights when only tacos can fix me. It's no secret that San Diego has tacos in…read morespades and being so close to the border, you'd think that a quest to find the perfect taco would be as simple as rolling down to the nearest taqueria. Except, it's not quite that simple. Many beloved staples have gone downhill, while some newer spots that might boast things like a Michelin mention or multiple locations ranging from TJ to Vegas contain more hype and gristle than tender meat and substance. Enter Chula Tacos. Chula is, and always was, the type of place that makes you forget that you're not actually in Tijuana. While part of me misses their OG Market Street location, seeing them with brick-and-mortars feels hard-earned and well-deserved. This location on Palm in IB is relatively easy to access from the freeway, but parking can be tricky. You can safely assume that it will be busy and you will either have to be very lucky or be willing to find a spot on the street. Out of all the times I've been here, it's always been crowded enough that I've never been able to find a table inside, but I enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the ahumederos. The first thing that hits you walking through the door is how amazing everything smells. The queue to the cashier takes you near a window showing the kitchen where you can see the Chula Tacos team making fresh tortillas, slicing meat from the trompos, grilling up jalapenos, nopales, onions, labio, and tripa. For me, it's not so much a challenge to decide what I want, it's more a challenge to keep myself from ordering everything. My usual is four tacos: two asada, two al pastor (but I've heard that I should also try their world famous keka). The tacos though? Perfection. Every time, the asada is the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten, the al pastor is succulent and flavorful, and no taco in front of me is long for the world. At $3.50 each, every one of them is absolutely loaded. Three would honestly fill me up, but I always want four. After getting burned by spots that ask around 75% more and deliver anywhere between 25-50% less, Chula Tacos feels like an absolute godsend of a Tijuana-style taqueria and I can't see any other contenders being my go-to. So, when I say "Tacos will fix me," what I mean nowadays is "Chula Tacos will fix me."
