Fortunatley, due to a change of our plans, we found this taquero last minute. Eduardo was more than punctual and I had no issues with his coooking and quality of service. I would have given him a tip, but for what I paid for just 2 hours he should be getting paid well. (It would have been nice to know that we could have requested more time.) If not, the owners should consider giving him a raise. I believe there's a chain of taqueros that work for El Cacheton. Either way, the food was great and my guests enjoyed the food. Oh and before I forget, "Liz" now you "know about this people". Your driver found out, he got your $600 in cash. Careful what you screen shot and who you send the text to...you can thank Eduardo for the 3 stars read more

I booked them for my wedding, the food was good. The Al pastor was great! They did run out of rice and one of the salsas which was a bummer, I had 138 guests and booked for 150, i didn't think they'd run out. The communication in the booking process was a little rocky, but I'd book again. read more

OUTSTANDING experience with the team at TEC! They arrived early, recognizing the volume of food they needed to have ready (150PAX) & set up & got to it. The three gentlemen were polite, professional & attentive. There was never a wait for food & everyone was survived quickly with care & a smile. It literally could not have gone any better! I will be recommending them for my company functions & recommend them highly & confidently here! read more

WONDERFUL FOOD! I booked them for my wedding in Lake Arrowhead. The team had no problems setting up at our venue. They were on time and delivered exactly what we needed. They even accommodated our last minute changes to increase the food count. Everyone loved the food and most went back for seconds or thirds. I would highly recommend if you are looking for some quality Mexican food. read more

Would recommend these tacos and company for any event! My fiancé and I recently threw a party for our friends and these tacos were a hit! Frank was who came and assisted us and he couldn't have been more kind and the food was delicious and authentic!!! read more

Excelente servicio. Fueron amables y puntuales. Todo se veía limpio y estuvo muy rico. Prepararse con Tupperware para que le dejen la carne que sobra. read more

Absolutely perfect service for a Celebration of Life ceremony. Everyone raved about the food and service. Couldn't ask for better. They showed up early, set up and began servicing in about 90 minutes. The guys were so engaging and my guests went back for seconds and thirds. I'd use them again in a heart beat. They asked for a tarp to keep the concrete clean under their grill and cleaned up immaculately when it was time to leave. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

We recently (1/7/22) used Tacos El Cacheton to cater a post funeral reception at our home in West Riverside. Since we wouldn't be there for the set up, we gave them instructions on how to enter the property and where they could set up. They said they would arrive at 10:30 for an 11:30-1:30 serve time. When we arrived at 11:15 everything was set up, HOT and ready to serve. We catered for 40 guests, but with COVID we ended up with 25. The left overs were dished up in containers we provided and we ate them for the next couple of days. Everybody loved the tacos, there wasn't one complaint. We had desserts but by the time everyone e had their fill of tacos the desserts went untouched. Thank you El Cacheton for your excellent service, we'll definitely use you again. read more

I'm sorry for this review, but caterers were late one hour. They served around 1 hour and 20 min later. But carne asada was not even made yet. Only serving 2 meats. They were really disorganized. If that was not enough had a bad attitude and no smiles. They ruined the wedding guest experience. They were line up in line a long time for food. I'm sorry but employees need more training and responsibility, a friendly reminder.... please be nice it goes a long way. Smile read more

Great experience! They went on-time, great food options, delicious, courteous and communicated perfectly!

I hired them to cater a party for 50 yesterday. Arrived promptly, stayed the entire time, cleaned everything up! We went with the deluxe package and all the food was fantastic. All my guests raved about it, had 2nd's & 3rd's and are messaging me asking for their contact info. I'm even enjoying the leftovers today! Highly recommend and I will definitely hire them again!! read more

Excellent people, excellent food, and excellent service! Hired El Cacheton for my daughter's graduation party; everything was perfect. I would definitely use El Cacheton again. Thank you for making our day a special and delicious one. read more

Sandra and Alfonso are the best!! Super friendly and the tacos are amazing. They were early, made sure everything was prepped on time, and served everyone quickly and professionally. I highly recommend them! read more

A year ago the food was great. This time they did not bring enough asada and more chicken than anything else. Maybe safe costs I don't know. Customer service - terrible. Attitude at breakdown and messy. No more. read more

The tacos are so delicious! We had them cater for a party of 40 people and the chef did an excellent job. We also had soy meat because some people were vegan or vegetarian and the soy was so good as well. The only feedback I have is to hire two chefs instead of one because set up and serving took longer than expected. Highly recommend! read more

Omg!!! I had them cater at my daughters birthday party yesterday & they were amazing!! Food was great, salsas were good, beans and rice delicious! The tacos were definitely the talk of the party LOL. Totally satisfied & I recommend to anyone that is interested in them. I will definitely be using them again in the future Thank you so much. read more

My wife and I decided to have them cater for our baby shower! The entire family loved the food, the aguas frescas, and the fact that they're offered beans and rice on the side. One thing I will admit is that I ordered for about 75 people, only about 60 guests showed up and there was only a little bit of meat left over. So overall I think the food portions were carefully thought out with the rice and beans to fill each person up a little more! Which is great because if it wasn't for that we would've ran out of meat a lot sooner! The salsa was great, limes were full of juice which is a huge pro because nothing is worse then sitting down, and squeezing air onto your tacos. Highly satisfied with our experience and their crew, they were friendly, communicative and made it easy to book them for our event read more

Tacos El Cacheton - Bomb Horchata that everybody loved including myself! And the bowls for their condiments which aren't filled yet. - Caterers Near Me

Great service and the food was bomb, I've had them for multiple parties and events, I'll definitely be hiring them again.

the "owner" to this location claims he cares about his business and costumers yet still hasn't resolved my issue. If you ask me he was more worried about his reviews instead of why charging me 400$ for a hour and a half. as you see in the photo he used his mom as passing away as a deflection of his responsibilitys. Not trying to sound heartless but he's clearly using his mom passing to avoid his business problems. Business issues and family issues are two different things. I took it as him trying to guilt trip me. SAD. read more

Tacos El Cacheton - why i wouldn't recommend. - Caterers Near Me

Tacos have good taste . Don't expect grilled onions or jalapeños .hot dogs are very small don't expect the larger ones they also tried leaving before cooking all hot dogs Did not grill any onion or bell peppers for there hot dogs as shown in there promotional videos .services cooks are not high end they will send you teenagers they where on there phone 80% of the time .they cut into my serving time they started cleaning 30 minutes early .Overall this is a money hungry business don't expect them to make any accommodations read more

AMAZING tacos and service . Highly recommended. We hired tacos el Cacheton for my husband 30th bday and our housewarming and everyone loved the food !! They are very nice and it was a smooth transaction. If anyone needs tacos for your party these are your people!! read more

So disappointed. When we spoke with the guy (I'm guessing it was the owner) he said it was 3 hour service, 1hr of prep and 2 of service, (5:30-8:30) not only did they arrive one hr late they also wanted to leave early. Thank God I had made food and fed my guest at 5. They were supposed to arrive at 5:30, so they can start serving at 6:30. They arrived at 6:40 and started serving at 7, and by 8:20 they wanted to leave claiming they were out of meat, I paid for 100 people, I had 50 and not everyone ate because some of them had already ate at 5 from the food I made, when my friend (the owner of the place) offered to pay for an extra hr they had plenty of food to continue serving for another hr, like what?!! They were told that the event was a wedding, not only did I needed them to arrive on time, but I also needed them to be well groomed for the occasion, they sent me what it looked like a 13 year old kid and two other ladies, it looked like they were coming from another event all tired and dirty and let's not talk about their taco cart because the thing looked very dirty, the service the ladies gave was really bad they had mad faces the entire time they were there. I had a mariachi and a Dj so obviously I needed the taquero to be at Its designated spot by 5:30 so that they were not passing right in front of the mariachi or they didn't have to move the Dj because they didn't have space to go through, that's why I put everyone on a schedule. To top it off, the kid they sent was claiming that they arrived at 6:40 because they couldn't find parking and that the prep time they did it at home, like wtf, that's not what we agreed on, and if you would've arrived at 5:30 you would have found your spot empty. I needed them at their spot by the time we agreed for the reason I already explained above. My recommendation to the owner is, if you're going to charge over $800 and you agree to be at an event at a specific time, arrive at the time agreed, specially at a wedding. Also, don't send random people, you were supposed to be there because you were recommended, not these people other people. I also don't even want to talk much about the tacos, but there's room to improve, these were not $800 worth. They literally just had a water down agua fresca (no ice) cilantro/diced onions and 2 salsas, rice and beans. Nothing too special, again, not worth over $800. Sorry dude, I usually hate posting these reviews, but you were recommended by some other high end taquero and I will be informing him not to do that anymore because you made him look bad. read more

Tacos El Cacheton - Caterers Near Me

Worst experience of my life with these guys. First of all they showed up about 3 hours earlier before the schedule event. Not to mention the guy calling with a horrible attitude. Then they hurried my guest to eat because they were gonna soon pack up and leave. Leaving us with a total of approximately 1 hour of service and charging our family $505 for 40 people. I then reach out to one of the owners who I schedule the event with and he began to apologized stating the guys he had sent were new hires. Then he went on to promise another event for our family free of charge however that was NOT OUR INTENTION TO RECEIVE ANYTHING FREE, so I contacted him this past week and obviously left me on read with my text message. My point is if they would have delivered good service I would have been very grateful for, however it was A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE that I wish On nobody else. Please do your research first before hiring these catering businesses!!!!! read more

Tacos El Cacheton - The owner stating we would have a free event from him personally for horrible experience. - Caterers Near Me

Chris was easy to communicate with and set up was on time, even early and the guys were efficient and personable. We had potato, beef and chicken tacos and Quacamole which was extra. Beans and rice were included along with lemonade. We were disappointed in the potato tacos as they were not deep fried, they were mashed. Also, they did not have cheese or tomatoes for toppings. The beef, beans and rice were good. Chris immediately responded about my disappointment with the mashed potato tacos and offered me a free deep fried taco! I will definitely always have Chris on my contact list for future events! Nothing beats outstanding customer service and good tacos! read more

Let me start off by saying, I appreciate that they were able to come and do my daughter's party last minute. But I think because it was last minute, I paid $600 and the guy who was cooking didn't even make quesadillas which was part of the deluxe package. He didn't offer or anything. On top of that, he tried to rush out of there. At 2.5 hrs he wanted to go. I then called his boss to find out why and that he was supposed to stay for 30 more minutes. His boss told me there was a mix up because there was another event in the same city with the same times and that I TOLD THE GUY HE COULD LEAVE. Uh, no. The food was great, service and expectations, not so much! Lastly, if you say you're going to bring limes, bring limes, not lemons. They are not the same! read more

My sister-in-law had a kids party and had tacos cater. They did a great job, food was great i would recommend them for party's.

Gave a call to Tacos El Cacheton on the night off of the GGG v Alvarez rematch fight at 2pm! Prior to getting in touch with them I contacted over 18 companies that were all booked for the day... When I gave them a call Jessica immediately let me know they were booked but would talk with someone that was out to see if they would be ending another gig early enough to make it to my clients appreciation party. They called me back within 30 minutes and were able to take care of us that day! For all 30 people we got a GREAT deal and got Tacos for 30 (Asada, Chicken & Pastor), Condiments (Onions Cilantro & Limes), Salsas (Red & Green), Sides (Rice & Beans), and Plastic Ware (Plates, Napkins, & Forks). Could not thank you guys enough for the excellent service you provided!! read more

Easy Transaction, Very Professional And Punctual The Food Was Fantastic!!! Highly Recommend And I Would Hire Them Again. Thank you

The 2 guys were chill,good service, prices are ok,$100 for an extra hour is a bit much personally,I think $50 to $75 would of been reasonable Tortillas are not that good Meat is pretty good,drink is good, I wish they would of took their own sun shade because we spent about an hour prepping the shade for them because the sun was burning then and they were sweating like crazy, communication is pretty good Overall food is not the best,but not the worst,rice and beans are good and not bad,thank you guys,much appreciated read more

We absolutely loved having Tacos El Cacheton for our event! They are both professional & very courteous, they arrived on time & although the food took a bit longer than they thought to prepare whatever time they used to finish preparing they made up! Everything was delicious & guests made sure to get their info from me before leaving! They are also very reasonably priced, I reached out to one other taco caterer & they were out of their mind trying to charge what they do for less than what I received with Tacos El Cacheton. Do yourself a favor & book with them now! Definitely recommended to anyone!! read more

Ayo gotta come thru and give it up for Oscar, and the A1 experience we had with him. Food was so good, I'm pretty sure I'm going to ask him to adopt me as his son. I recommend everyone to use him for all your event needs, whether it be a wedding, family gathering, or office party. read more

We just celebrated my daughters 5th birthday and Angel was an awesome taco man. Everyone was so excited for the tacos and they did not let me down. We will definitely be using them for future parties. Best choice I made. I did not have to worry about shopping for the food, making the food, serving the food or having to clean up all the mess from the food. It was definitely worth it. read more

I was in need of taco catering last minute and Chris made it happen for our event. His customer service skills were excellent. He provided details and kept in contact with me throughout the week. On the day of the event, the taco crew showed up before time and began preparation. The presentation was spot on. And let's talk about the tacos. DELICIOUS! We had the asada, chicken and al Pastor. All excellent. He even included an agua Fresca- Sandia (watermelon) and it was gone! Everyone loved the tacos and the delicious salsas. I would highly recommend Chris and his Taco crew. read more

Thank you guys so much for this evening! Everyone raved about how amazing the food was and many guests took cards stating that they have a new goto taco caterer. Melvin did an amazing job from start to finish. He was incredibly accommodating and a pleasure to work with. For anyone looking for an amazing taco caterer, look no further since you will not find any finer team to work your event. If I could give a higher rating, I would. Super responsive and just a pleasure to work with. thank you again and if you cater to Orange County, please let me know so I can ensure I have you cater my next event at my home! read more

Had a small, last minute birthday party and wasn't a problem at all for them! Came and cooked 3 meats (the shrimp was amazing) and everything was perfect!

BEWARE OF BOOKING WITH THIS COMPANY. The deposits are non refundable no matter what notice you give. We had To cancel our event due to personal reasons giving them 2 weeks to fill the spot on a holiday weekend and we're told we can't get out deposit back. They also stated they turned down larger parties making us feel like our party was not important. DEFIANTLY LOST A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER WHO WOULD OF BOOKED SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR BECAUSE MY FAMILY HOSTS PARTIES ALL THE TIME. SAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! read more
