Had Taco Chop cater a birthday party at my house, and they were amazing. The food was fantastic--everyone couldn't stop talking about how great the tacos and mini burritos were. Their setup also made the party look super put together. Big thanks to Yolanda and April for being so helpful and nailing the timing of the food service. Danny made the whole coordination and communication process a breeze. I highly recommend Taco Chop for any event! read more

Taco Chop did it again! For the third time using them, we were very happy! Taco Chop is easy to book, great communication very helpful with the ordering process. We had them come for a graduation party with 60 people and everyone LOVED the food! Presentation was great! They came an hour early to set up. They were very professional when it came time to clean up. They were quick and efficient. Definitely will use them. again and definitely will refer to others! Thank you, Danny and team! read more

Danny and his crew are so professional and the food was absolutely delicious. On time and great communication leading up to event. I hired Taco Chop for my grandma's 90th bday backyard party. We had about 50 people of all ages - everything was a hit. Entrees: Beef, chicken, and shrimp tacos were all so flavorful. Mexican salad was so worth it. Kids ANd adults loved the mini cheese & cheese burritos. Highly recommend, will be hiring again! read more

Taco Chop is an amazing company to host any of your events. We recently used Danny for our wedding and had such an amazing event for the 160 guests. The food is beyond spectacular and super tasty. The guests could not stop commenting on the quality and freshness of the food. We ordered a variety of meats and veggie options to accommodate different dietary restrictions. Danny can make anything work. I really like spicy salsa so Danny's wife made an amazing spicy red salsa and avocado green salsa. I have literally been eating it everyday since my wedding. Taco Chop is a very professional company. They are super friendly, show up on time, provide a very beautiful set up and clean-up. As I was hosting my wedding at a hotel, I had to overcome some obstacles to allow for outside food on the property. Danny worked with me 100% along the way to meet the high requirements of the hotel with a smile on his face each and every time. I am so thankful for his patience through the whole process. As my new husband and I were running around talking to all of our guests, we clearly did not have time to eat and Danny recognized that. He personally made special plates for us so we had something to eat after the wedding. I had also used Danny for my engagement party at my house and again, the same excellent service. I highly recommend Taco Chop to anyone looking to host an event. I can't wait to use Danny for my next event! read more

Danny and his crew are fantastic. First, the food is delicious. He catered two parties for us this month to celebrate our two son's college and high school graduation party and then our niece's high school graduation party. The main entrees were delicious, prepared and cooked on site. We had chicken, carne asada (he used a high quality grade of beef) and carnitas The beans were delicious and he did not serve those lousy Peruvian beans. He served good old fashion pinto beans. The Mexican rice was fluffy and had a nice touch of mixed vegetables in the rice. He served freshly chopped condiments and prepared two delicious and refreshing Mexican drinks: orchata and a pineapple-basil drink that was out of this world. He also served grilled corn. The guacamole was freshly prepared with plenty of avocados. He didn't pulverize the avocados into that crappy stuff served by amateur caterers. He provided high quality plates, napkins and plastic utensils. The plates were thick, oval paper plates, and not those silly flimsy paper plates that fold up and drop your food when you walk back to your table. Then for an encore, he also made nachos on demand. Yummy and a complete surprise. Now I am no vegetarian ( who wants to eat mulch all day?) but if you must, Danny will whip up something that is delicious and satisfying. And best of all, he and his crew clean up and leave your place as if they were never there. Danny says he can do BBQs and can prepare other entrees besides tacos. I can hardly wait to use him for our next event. Don't bother using someone else. His prices may be a bit higher than others, but as I always say"Quality is remembered long after the price is paid". We will have great memories of these events and everyone raved about the food. Most important, Danny is a true professional. This is his business. He meets with you before hand, checks out your space, draws up a contract, and he is great to work with. His helpers are very professional, and anticipate your every need. I give Danny two thumbs up and an A ++. James Cruz, MD read more

We used Taco Chop for my husbands 40th and we were blown away. The food is fantastic, Danny went around passing out quesadillas and tostadas prior to the tacos being ready and the presentation is unparalleled. They do a beautiful set up complete with a Mexican style area rug and table coverings worthy of any five star event. And the food is incredible. We have been eating the left overs for breakfast, lunch and dinner for two days now and it's just as good as when Danny and his wife served it fresh. Carne Assad, chicken and pork with all the toppings, rice and beans and an amazing homemade salsa. He even brings the plates, napkins and utensils. Thank you so much to Danny and his wife! We will be using them again and again. read more

Taco Chop - Nachos made the next day with the leftover food Danny left for us... - Caterers Near Me

Chef Danny knocks catering out of the park! A+ party caterer. I would hire him again in an INSTANT. He's professional, highly communicative, and attentive to every detail. Not only is the set-up and food incredible, he cooks with love and really cares about his guests having a great experience. Convenient payment and straight-forward pricing. Ask about the cheesecake off the menu, arguably the greatest dessert ever. read more

This review is long overdue. Danny and Yolanda are the most amazing people ever. We've used them twice for our soccer club. First time they fed 60 people and this week they fed 100. Danny is so easy to work with, I text him our headcount, food desires, location and time. He is always happy to help. The quality of the food and Yolanda's personal touches to the decor and presentation of the tables is spectacular and thoughtful. They are so patient with the kids, and PLEASE GET THE CHURROS. If you are looking for a great quality taco cart, people that treat you like family and are the most amazing, easy to work with, reasonably priced and fun, BOOK THIS DUO. You won't regret it and you'll be looking for more dates in your calendar to have them again. Danny and Yolanda, our soccer family will forever use you to commemorate all our events. read more

We had Taco Chop cater our wedding weekend "welcome event" and were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and overall setup. Every one of our guests commented that this was some of the best Mexican food they had ever had. The event had around 90 guests, so we were a bit worried that there would be a long wait for food but Danny's team was quick, friendly, and extremely well prepared. While the quality of the food definitely sets this company apart, we were also really impressed with the special touches (colorful tablecloths, decor, quality plates etc) that made the event feel much more polished. In terms of logistics, Taco Chop was one of the easiest vendors we worked with. Danny touched base with us to make sure we had all our questions answered and made sure that no detail was overlooked. If we ever host another large event, we will be calling up Taco Chop first! read more

WOW! Danny and Taco Chop are amazing! We had a retirement open house for 60 people. Danny met with us onsite ahead of time to plan everything out. The day of the event went flawlessly. They arrived and set up early, the food was incredibly delicious, and after they left it looked like they had never been there. Would use them again without any hesitation. Simply the best taco cart we have ever had! read more

Danny catered a party of ours last year. His authentic Mexican food is the best! We kept in touch and have been ordering almost every week during quarantine. Danny and Yolanda are offering delivery service with full dinners and breakfast packages. Their breakfast burritos are our new favorite and their mini bean cheese burritos are perfect for the kids. If you like authentic Mexican food, this is your spot. We tried their Cochinta Pibil, a slow roasted pork traditionally from the Yucatán Peninsula and it was Delicious! I definitely recommend Taco Chop. They're the best!! read more

Amazing !!! The Mexican rice and beans are just like Abuelas simply perfect . The salsa was nice and spicy , The tacos where large and delicious. My husband hasn't stopped thanking me for the tasty surprise read more

We hired Danny and Taco Chop for our son's high school graduation party last night and everything was on point and legit. From the set up and decorations to the salsa/guacamole to the meats...all top notch. He catered for about 30 people and everyone enjoyed it a lot. At the end of the night he and his staff packaged all the leftovers and we just had a great lunch. Thanks Danny for everything...we will hire you again without question. Pete and Lisa read more

As a wedding planner, I just recently worked with Taco Chop on an afternoon event in Mission Viejo. They helped save the day as we planned and seamlessly executed a last-minute wedding. Danny and his team were easy to communicate with, and when fire was thrown at them, they handled it with professional care. I thoroughly enjoyed having them as part of my team and I highly recommend them to anyone searching for a great taco bar!! read more

It is my honor to write the first Yelp review for Taco Chop. I was in need for some sort of catering for 75 adults for a post funeral reception. I searched through dozens of caters on Yelp ranging from Taco guys to Hot Dog carts. I was only searching for highly rated companies as I wanted better than average food. I found a few good companies however they all lacked in different areas like response time, menu options or presentation. First Impression: I actually stumbled across Taco Chop on Instagram when searching #tacocatering. I was blown away by the pictures. The Roasted Corn presentation is what attracted me. You have to ask around everywhere else to get someone to do Tacos and Corn but Taco Chop had it all part of their package and shown beautifully. I seen their food pictures, food presentation and read the good comments left by previous clients. Initial Contact: I left a comment on their page with my info and boom I get an email from Danny the owner no more than 15 minutes later with what their package includes and asking for more details regarding my event. Once we worked out the menu and the amount of people he quoted me a price. Not gonna lie I had a bit of sticker shock when compared to a few other quotes I got from a family friend who does taco catering and other Yelp companies etc. When he sent the price he said but let me explain why. He explained he uses only the best freshest ingredients from the best suppliers. He stated his Asada is actually Angus Steak ordered fresh and prepared by Taco Chop in their secret way. He said nothing is rushed. He stated the chips are hand made along with the Salsas and Guacamole. So after hearing all that goes into his package I was sold. I felt like I was hiring a Chef with fresh recipes he cared about. Most taco guys bring pre marinated flank steak they picked up at the meat market on their way along with store bought chips and salsa. So needless to say I felt more than comfortable with his price and hired him. The Event: Danny texted me when he was in route and gave me a play by play on his timing. He and his wife showed up on time and quickly setup and went into action. The Rustic food display was very impressive and very professional. It looked like a 5 star restaurant set up shop in our yard. The quality of meat stood out as well.. no fatty tiny pieces to chew on. The Carne Asada was actual Steak!! Very Juicy & Flavorful. The Chicken and Carnitas were to die for!! The guacamole was delicious and of the quality you'd expect to pay $16+ for at Javiars. Let me say everything tasted amazing. I had expressed to Danny I was worried about running out of food. So turns out he had brought extra Carnitas just in case and ended up giving it to me at the end. Who does that!! That gesture alone shows that he cares about the client and the experience. We had plenty of left overs. I had family literally arguing over who gets to take what home. The left overs tasted just as good the next morning :) The Conclusion: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I have no regrets hiring Taco Chop and SO GLAD WE DID. I got texts for days from family raving about how delicious the food was. They said it was the best Taco Guy they've had and I totally agree. Do yourself a favor and stop searching and hire Taco Chop. They will not disappoint. Also just an FYI these are the pages I viewed when making my decision since no Yelp page for them existed. https://www.instagram.com/tacochop/ https://www.facebook.com/MYTACOCHOP/?fref=ts read more

Taco Chop - Delicious food provided by Danny @ Taco Chop!! - Caterers Near Me

We met with Danny tonight to discuss our wedding. He gave us a sampling of the food they serve. First off the food was amazing. There were three taco meats we tasted. They were chicken, steak and carnitas. I can not describe how perfect each of the meats were. No exaggeration if you went to a five star hotel and were served chicken, pork or steak, they would not be better. Many people had mentioned his pricing was a bit more expensive. The truth is for a wedding most places are $40 to $60 or more per person. Danny's prices are roughly the cost per person of getting a chipotle burrito, chips and salsa, and a drink. (Don't get me wrong, Chipotle is amazing.) For the same price Danny can make us tacos with three kinds of meats available, rice, beans, fruit, Aquas Frescos (fresh juices), guacamole, chips, homemade salsa, ceviche and roasted corn. All of it was incredibly fresh and top notch. Can't speak highly enough of the quality of the food. read more

My wife contacted Taco Chop for my 40th birthday based on the reviews off of Yelp. They did not disappoint! Very professional, on time, and the food was awesome. We had everyone asking where we found them and if they could get the info to use them for their own event. This is not some street taco vendor! It is a very professional chef with the quality and authentic taste you would expect and want. Highly recommend... you will not be disappointed. read more

Taco Chop far exceeded my expectations. The meat was tender and very delicious. I also ordered corn on the cob which was incredibly tasty. I would recommend Daniel and his team for any event. He was punctual and professional. I would have given him 10 stars if I could have. read more

We hired Taco Chop to cater our baby's small first birthday party. Danny was very helpful and made everything SO easy! It worked out perfectly for our group of 35 and we received so many compliments. Taco Chop is not a typical "taco guy". The fresh ingredients and all of the extra effort Danny puts forth make all of the difference! read more

Taco Chop was wonderful for our event. A combined book launch and graduation party, they were well prepared for the amount of guests we had, professional, and stylish as well. The food presentation was beautiful and the food itself was absolutely DELICIOUS. They are well worth the price and even packed up the leftover food we had paid for and didn't eat so that we could take it home with ease and without worrying about anything. Truly a joy. Would recommend them to everyone, and would definitely hire again. Thank you! read more

Our family of 5 ordered for the first time this week after finding on Facebook. Easy and delicious! Late in the week, I exchanged a few texts with Danny and we were good to go. We added some extra meat and sides to the weekend package and in total was around $100, a great value for all we got. Most importantly, the food was delicious. All 3 of the kids said it was their favorite meal of the quarantine (no thanks for all my dinners!) and my wife and I loved it as well. Looking forward to the leftovers the next few days! read more

Danny and his staff catered our wedding at a private residence in San Juan Capistrano. Not only was the food OUTSTANDING (I'm still dreaming of the tortillas he used) but the set up/ decor he provides is also very nice. He was super easy to work with and that made for a stress free dinner service. Thank you Danny! It was the best day ever! read more

In what became a somewhat last-minute scramble to find a taco caterer for a backyard party with 50+ guests, we came across the Yelp reviews for Taco Chop and decided to reach out. Working with Danny and his wife (Taco Chop owners) was a 5-star experience from the very first text. This was the first time I had ever hired and entirely communicated with a catering company via text and any concerns I may have had quickly vanished with Danny's responsiveness and professionalism. From initial communications to contract agreement, touring the site for the best location, to set-up and service, everything went as he said it would. And the food? It was incredible. Not only is Taco Chop's presentation gorgeous, the food is absolutely delicious. We ordered the tacos with three meats (chicken, asada and carnitas), beans and rice, assorted condiments (chips, salsa, guacamole, onion, cilantro, cabbage) as well as the corn on the cob. NOTHING disappointed and many of our guests went back for more. In fact, several guests commented that Taco Chop's food was the best they had ever tasted in the category of Mexican Food Catering. My husband and I absolutely agree. Taco Chop's menu rivaled what you experience in a restaurant that serves fine Mexican cuisine. And as party hosts it can be tough to find the time to eat, but Danny went out of his way to not only bring food over to us, but also to whip up some specialty items for us that were AMAZING. I highly recommend Taco Chop and we will DEFINITELY be using them again. read more

Taco Chop has been amazing. Their food is always fresh and delicious. We have been ordering from them weekly since the start of quarantine and it has really helped me with planning dinners and lunches each week knowing I can count on Taco Chop each week.

We just used Taco Chop for a family Christmas party and it was great! The guests loved the food and Danny was great to work with. I have celiac disease so I needed the food to be gluten free and several of my guests were vegetarian so I wanted to have options for them too. Danny was very accommodating and one of my guest even said that the vegetarian tacos were the best he has had! We look forward to using Taco Chop again. read more

Our guests always rave about Taco Chop's delicious tacos and beautiful setup. We look forward to booking again soon. read more

For once reviews really were accurate. I looked at a lot of different catering places for my wedding party. When I spoke with Danny, he was very prompt in his replies and his pricing was very reasonable for what he offered. We scheduled two months in advance and he, true to the reviews, was extremely reliable, thorough, professional, and courteous. With all the stresses of a wedding party and family reunion, it was so nice to be able to relax knowing the food was taken care of so well. I especially liked how high the quality of his food is, and his produce. I visited his restaurant and tasted some of the amazing food he had to offer and felt even more comfortable. Throughout the process he went above and beyond making sure everything was as it should be, well past what he was required to do. The day of, he showed up on time and fully prepared, and made an amazing meal for my 70-80 guests. The talk of the evening was the food, and it was a beautiful display of carnitas, chicken, carne asada, shrimp, roasted corn, salsa and guacamole, and quesadillas. People are still thanking me for a great party but mostly telling me how great the food was! I am so happy that there were leftovers as I get to enjoy them for a few more days. I can't recommend him and his company highly enough. I will absolutely be hiring him again in the future, and next time I'll take advantage of all the beverages he has to offer, adult ones too! Thanks so much Danny, it was everything I could have hoped for and more. read more

We used Taco Chop for my sons Bar Mitzvah! I can't say enough nice things about working with Danny and his staff. We had 160 people Danny met with us a couple times and made sure everything was perfect. The tacos were so fresh. The guacamole was amazing. We had left over food that we took home and fed everyone at the after party. I planned on ordering pizza thinking people wouldn't want to eat the same food twice. I was wrong we all ate the left overs later too. Thank you Danny for doing such a fabulous job! Kelli read more
