Mexicali catered my daughters 18th birthday with the "taco guy" setup. The food was really good and the kids loved that they made quesadillas right there too. Insider tip, get the el pastor, Yum! I'll definitely have them come back for my next party. read more

Hired Mexicali Grill for a surprise birthday party for 30 guests and it was certainly a success! They arrived a little late but were willing to stay a little longer to account for that. The food (al pastor, pollo, asada) was great and everybody had their fill, the horchata was also very tasty (not overly sweet)! Would definitely consider Sergio's team for a future event. read more

I tried booking them, I called and left a message and no reply very unprofessional. If you don't wanna do your job just say so

Sergio catered my housewarming/birthday party for around 50 people and the food was AMAZING, especially the al pastor. We chose three proteins - asada, carnitas and al pastor. The al pastor was definitely the star of the night. Everyone was raving about them and I found out one of my guests actually had TEN tacos hahaha. They were that freakin' good. I also had some vegans attend the event, so they made grilled vegetable tacos for my vegan friends! Loved that they had that option. My vegan friends said the tacos were really delicious as well! : ) Sergio arrived on time, provided amazing service, and was really communicative. His prices are great! I would totally book him again for my next event. Lots of people were asking for his number/business card at the end of the night haha. I'm telling you, that al pastor has me hooked! Some of the BEST al pastor I've ever tasted - even better than some popular taco trucks. Thank you so much Sergio!! read more

Had a great experience hiring Mexicali Grill. Ruben was very punctual and always responded to our messages right away. I had my Babyshower for around 70 people and had carne asada, chicken, al pastor and quesadillas. We also had horchata and Jamaica with all the taco fixings. Food was delicious and we received a lot of compliments from our guests. My favorite was the marinated chicken...yum! We had leftovers so they left all the goodies with us. Ruben was the only one that showed up which I thought it would be 2 guys but he did an excellent job. He was very patient and nice. We even had guests come in when he was starting to pack up and he was very accommodating to our guests which I really appreciate. So glad we now have a taco caterer we can count on for future events. Thank you for the excellent service and experience. read more

Sergio and his son Sergio Jr. are the absolute best. I found him via Yelp and had to book him for my twins' first birthday party according to all the rave reviews. I was very pleased with the service and the food was delicious. Great communication and he even accommodated a single vegan friend that would be in attendance (it was more than just rice and beans for her!). I'd definitely book him again. read more

A little overdue, but we hired Mexicali Grill to cater to 70 guests for a baby shower at the park, and would definitely use them again! They were patient and responsive to any questions I had and booking them was easy. While they usually have 2 people working the day of, it turned out only "Little Sergio" as he called himself, was the only one able to make it. In response, he arrived 1.5 hours early to accommodate the last minute change of having to work solo to make sure the food and everything was set up by the event start time. I mean, talk about professionalism and what a great first impression! Little Sergio was courteous, polite, and patient with all the guests from start to finish. Even on this particular hot day, in the middle of a heat wave, he was dedicated to providing excellent service! As for the food, it was delicious! The meats were seasoned perfectly and the salsas, onions/cilantro, and rice and beans were all tasty. My favorite - the al pastor! It was one of the best I've had. I've had multiple people reach out to me about Mexicali Grill for their catering needs, and I'm not surprised. We will definitely be using them again for future events! read more

This is a Taco Catering business located @ Los Toros Market in El Monte, CA. They gave me 3-4 meat choices, including tortillas, rice, beans, salsa, cilantro, onions, guacamole, paper plates and napkins. For 50 people (minimum required) they charged me $350 for 3 hours. They leave all the food with you when they are done. They set up 1 hour prior (not included in the 3 hours). I'm a vegetarian and they had no problem making me some papas & onions for my tacos!!! The two guys that came were very nice and everyone Loved the tacos!!! read more

We hired them for my daughter's party. We called some other people and they were booked or not that friendly/ cooperative on the phone. I found these guys on Yelp and it was super easy to book. A phone call and a couple of texts and we were all set. They showed up on time and the food went down well with my guests. We paid for 40 people and about 40 showed up. We had a bunch of left-overs which we left with family. The price was also the lowest we found and we got 4 meats. Most other people just provide three types. It was also nice that they cook in the yard. Some taco guys cook it at their place and just bring the cooked meat with them in foil containers. read more

We had a great experience with Mexicali Grill. The meats (chicken, asada, pastor) and aguas (jamica & horchata) were yummy. My favorite was the marinaded chicken and the jamica. The taco cart came with all the fixings including beans, rice and guacamole at a good price for about 70 people. The cook Rubin was very nice and accommodating. read more

I hired Mexicali Grill for my birthday party and it was a hit. Everyone loved the food and service. He arrived a few minutes before scheduled, quickly set up and was serving within an hour. The guy was very polite and even made sure everyone was good and full. Definitely worth the money and they let you choose the type of meats. I chose carne asada, al pastor and chicken. Came with rice (the best some people have tasted), beans, onions, cilantro and different types of salsas. Awesome food and service! read more

We've had a few different taco crews out to our corporate events but Mexicali is far superior. This is the second year we've had them cater our company picnic and they did not disappoint! They don't skimp on meat quality, the salsa and sides are fresh and the service is always great. The worst part is you have to figure out which tacos your going to get on your second round! read more

This is for the restaurant and not the catering business. I ordered a torta--it was delicious--and a michelada. The "michi" was not that great...in fact, they should stop selling it. I only came in to try it because they advertised selling them outside, but when I arrived inside--the cashier didn't even know what to charge me for one! Apparently they aren't very popular here. I would give it a 5 star if not for that bad michi. Good service though, and very friendly people. I will return just for the food. read more

This is long over due, but because of the excellent service I wanted to make sure I did this review. On August 6th, we had a family reunion with over 85 in attendance. Mexicali Grill arrived and was prompt and prepared! They cooked amazing tacos, quesadillas, beans and rice! They were also very hardworking, polite and courteous to the guests, making sure everyone was taken care of to the very end! Thank you for making our reunion memorable! read more

Mexicali Grill - Caterers Near Me

See all

Mexicali Grill catered my boyfriend's birthday party, and it was a great experience. Sergio arrived 1 hour before my guest were scheduled to arrive to prepare all the meat (rice and bean, and all the condiments for the tacos were already prepared and super fresh), and stayed for 2 hours serving. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Couple of my guest even asked for their yelp link for future reference - and I was very happy to share their info! Thank you for making my boyfriend's birthday a success. read more

Sergio is the man!!! We hired him for my 40th birthday party, and his tacos were a hit. He showed up early and had everything ready for when the guests started to arrive.

I read the reviews on yelp and sounded too good to be true. So I went to their restaurant/market (think it was called el toro). Tried the tacos and I would say they're just about the best tacos I've ever had! I tried chicken, carne Asada, and Al Pastor. They were all delicious, not gristly and greasy, but moist, tender and extremely flavorful. I IMMEDIETLY walked next door to the market and booked them for my daughter's party. I'll write another review after too! read more

These Tacos are the BEST!!!! Many of my friends have used Mexicali Grill after having them at my party!!!!

The best taco men around! You can't go wrong with these guys. They bring you carne asada, carnitas, chicken, and al pastor. Although you can request other meats too and they cook the meats right on the spot for you too. They bring a wide variety of options to put on your tacos such as guac and salsas. I recommend you also tell them to bring cheese because they can make one hell of a quesadilla. The employees are one of the nicest and hard working people I know. They will work in any kind of weather conditions and they WILL make long trips if they have too. If the amount of people served is too large they will even bring another grill. You cant go wrong with these guys i promise you. read more

So after reading all the reviews I had to come by and check this place out. I got the Pastor and Asada tacos. These were hands down some of the Best tacos I have ever eaten. At first I thought you can only get these tacos from Catering them but there Is a little restaurant attached to the meat market that serves these insanely good tacos!! Try it you will not regret it read more

I had Mexicali Grill cater my party on Saturday 12th May 2012. The food was great and so was the service. I would absolutley recommend them to anyone. All my guests loved the tacos! I had 3 meats (they do an extra 1 at no extra cost if you want) including tortillas, quesadillas, chips and salsa, rice, beans, guacamole, oinons, cilantro, radish. Mine was a small party, they catered for 50 people but I would have no problem asking them to cater a much larger party. They arrived on time, set up quickly and served for a 2hr window. I am not the easiest person to please but Sergio actually managed to exceed my expectations! Great job!! Thanks read more

Sergio and his crew were amazing. They catered a party for 60 people last weekend. The tacos, rice and beans were superb, and all the guests were raving about how yummy everything was. The staff that cooked the food were friendly, polite and efficient. I was referred to Sergio from someone who had used his company a few times, and now I know why she spoke so highly about his food. A friend at the party will also be using him for her upcoming party! Sergio was extremely friendly and easy to book the event with. He responded to phone calls immediately, was professional and easy going. I'll definitely be using Sergio's catering service for many parties ahead! Thank you so much for helping make our party wonderful and stress free. read more

I have used Mexicali Grill for my kids' parties. Both times the tacos have been delicious. My guests have left satisfied. They're easy to work with. They show up on time and they're reasonably priced. I would definitely continue using Mexicali Grill for my parties. read more

finally get to post! wished I wrote the review after the event. My friends loved their tacos! I had them cater to my baby shower on 5/18/2013 and they came early to set up. I think their business is located in the Los Toros market. Everything was so fresh and I am really happy with their service. I'm a vegetarian myself so I don't really know about the meats, but all my friends said this is the best taco cart they have had so far. Sergio was really nice over the phone and Carlos was really friendly too when he came to serve us. They let you choose 4 meats with NO extra charge and the cart came with beans, rice, two salsas, radish, onions, guacamole, cilantro and lemons I remember. they served for two hours, and it was definitely enough. I highly recommend Mexicali Grill, great service, great food! read more
