This is the second time I catered an event at my house with El Chilote and both times were great!. The food arrived hot, there were generous amounts of everthing and it was delisious. So many of my friends were impressed and wanted to know where I got it. I wholeheartedly recommend! read more

I've had El Chilote taco catering a few times now, and it never disappoints. I recently used them for a party, and they were a huge hit with everyone--multiple people were asking me for their info by the end of the night. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with a lot of care. The citrus chicken is hands down my favorite--super juicy with the perfect balance of tangy and savory. And the cilantro lime sauce? Absolutely amazing. It ties everything together and adds such a fresh, bright kick to the tacos. On top of the food, the service is always friendly, professional, and easy to work with. You can really tell there's passion behind what they do. Highly recommend El Chilote if you're looking for catering that people will actually rave about. I'll definitely be ordering again! read more

I contacted Chef Tony from El Chilote to cater my mom's 100th Birthday! I was in charge of the most important task of any function "The food" and needed to make sure we had the best and we certainly did. They arrived to the venue on time and prepared to meet any requests. The food was delicious, the home made tortillas were incredible and the rice was the best!!!! The taste of the food was amazing and perfect. The staff were friendly, professional and very hard working. The set up was beautiful and reflected all that we expected. I highly recommend El Chilote for any occasion or event. read more

We hired El Chilote for my nieces graduation party and really loved the entire experience. The food quality and flavors were top tier. All our guests were asking for his information and telling us how great the meat was. The hand made tortillas were the star of the event. Not many taco catering companies offer it without an extra charge or offer it at all. I also loved that they made their beans vegan since we don't eat pork!! It is so hard to find beans without lard. The staff members were really nice and made everything run smoothly. They are definitely my new go to catering company! read more

Let me start off by saying, we first tried Chilote at a Brewery in Pico Rivera called Brewjeria. I instantly feel in love with the tacos de nopal and pollo. Tortillas made from fresh corn masa( purple and yellow) Then came the smash chorizo tacos! So delicious and flavorful! And you cannot forget his Birria tacos , and mulitas, honestly the man does it all. And it's ALL DELICIOUS!!!! So we knew who we wanted to cater our Mother's Day brunch , We can't thank you enough for a great event with delicious food!!! read more

El Chilote is the epitemy of great tacos with nothing but the freshest ingredients. It's elevated beyond just a tortilla and well seasoned meat. He usually has several pop ups in different breweries throughout the week, so be sure to follow his ig page to get his schedule @el_chilotemex They have handmade tortillas, their chicken tacos on the blue corn tortilla is my favorite! They also have vegan options, the most delicious salsas and toppings, meat never overcooked. Honestly, their tacos are some of the most vibrant, simple and fresh ingredients being taken to another level. They are always creative with their menu and sometime have tacos de nopales. The owner knows his ingredients and is knowledgeable about what works. The girls who work their are also so kind, with a smile, very welcoming. It's always a chill and fun vibe having a taco and a beer. Def a taco spot i'd recommend. Ditch the bland and embrace the fresh. Life is too short for lame tacos and tasteless toppings. read more

Came for the food, stayed for the beer. I was excited to try the food and it did not disappoint. The Al pastor wings were my boyfriend's favorite: super crunchy as you take that bite and the Al pastor sauce on them was super flavorful and juicy. The tacos Gobernador: wow. First of all, I love shrimp so this in a taco with melted cheese?!? Wow. It was amazing. The pickled onions to top it definitely added some awesome texture. The chorizo smash taco: super flavorful and juicy as you take a bite. Crunchy flavor on the outside, Texture is everything. It's a very meaty taco too! The birria taco: man where do I start.. super flavorful. My favorite of them all to be honest. The meat tastes fresh and it's on a hand- made tortilla?! I recommend trying this place, honestly it's very flavorful, truly authentic, and worth every penny! Love the creative twist to authentic Mexican food. read more

El Chilote was serving food at Evans Brewing Co. in Corona, CA on Friday night. Since it was a Friday during Lent, I only tried their shrimp tacos...and they were amazing. One thing that really set El Chilote apart from other tacos spots is all their tortillas are handmade. The shrimp tacos came with their yellow corn tortilla. You can rally tell the difference in taste and texture with these handmade tortillas. There was cheese grilled onto the tortilla, and a tasty sauce added to the tacos. I ate the first one with out adding any of their red salsa, which was also very enjoyable. My wife got mulitas, one shrimp and one birria and enjoyed them both. I plan on trying these guys again and having some of their birria tacos so that I can try their blue corn tortillas. If you find them at a local brewery I would definitely suggest that you give them a try. read more

We have been enjoying El Chilote's pop ups at different breweries for year! Delicious food and great customer service every single time. When deciding on a caterer for our baby shower, choosing El Chilote was a no brainer. One, because I absolutely love tacos and their homemade tortillas are mouthwatering, but also their attention to detail when it comes to quality meats and toppings is unmatched. We chose three meat options, asada, chicken, and pastor, with ceviche as an appetizer, rice, beans, and a Jamaica drink. Everything was delicious. Their setup was organized, clean, and we loved their terracotta serving dishes and their service was so friendly and polite. Would choose them over and over again for any future events. read more

You need to do yourself a favor and go follow this business on IG and then stalk...ok I know that sounds creepy but trust me once you've had their quesabirrias you'll understand what I mean...anyways go follow them on IG and hit up the tacos. Tortillas hecha a Mano I mean come on! Doesn't get better than that. Their consume is so delicious and perfect for dipping your taquitos or just drinking it. I'm telling you go you won't be disappointed we need to support local food vendors who actually care and dedicate time to keep the food as traditional as possible but also mixing it up. Oh also you gotta try the torta and the quesadilla azteca so good! read more

Met up with them at the Mt. Lowe's Brewery in Arcadia. Looking on Yelp first I was excited to see that they were serving Birria. Being the first time trying their food, I decided to try all three meats they offered in tacos: Birria, Chicken, and Shrimp. All were excellent! The Birria did not disappoint, so moist & tasty I forgot to ask about any consume. The chicken was also tasty, nicely grilled and seasoned. As for the shrimp, I was surprised it was presented in a quesadilla style tortilla shell, the shrimp were perfectly cooked with that light bite to it. Sorry I couldn't get a good photo as the outside eating area was dimly lit. Didn't get to try their Agua Frescas as I'd normally order with tacos, but will next time if I'm not having beer. Good job El Chilote! read more

The birria is amazing, I can't get enough of it, especially with the consomé dip and the handmade tortillas. I have eaten just about. Everything that is served on the menu and I strongly recommend the chicken tacos, the sauce that they use is out of this world. If you're lucky, he may have some ramen for birria ramen If you want good birria with handmade tortillas, you have to try this place. read more
