Every time I have an event, I always use The Mexican Taco. The food is always delicious and they are always quick to pivot anytime. I had a situation that needed to be updated and was able to get the time updated for my event the night before which I was so grateful for. They arrived early and were set up and ready to go. The food was delicious. I had tons of food left over and I was able to wrap up and keep everything for the remainder of the night for our guest to continue to eat throughout the party. I would recommend them to everybody. I have even recommended them to Disney which we have used for company R&R events from time to time. As always, thank you so much for the delicious food and for always being someone I can count on to book with.

Can't beat good food prepared fresh!

The real deal! We hired them for a smaller gathering of 40 people, everything went as hoped for and better! We had some picky eaters in our crowd, they were happy with their meals. Ordering was painless, they also follow up with phone calls and emails, giving me confidence. Eric did a great job and was efficient with his service. Of course I would recommend The Mexican Taco!

See all

They also offer main dishes that serves 1-2 people that change daily. When I visited, they had galbi jjim, which was absolutely delicious. As the name suggests, they do catering but you should give at least 5-7 days' notice especially during the holidays. I tried to place a catering order during Thanksgiving week and wasn't able to because they were already fully booked. If they were closer, I'd come here at least twice a week to replenish my banchan fix. Nonetheless, I always go out of my way to return!

They did a PHENOMENAL job getting the order ready precisely on time. The food was a huge SUCCESS! Our guests especially loved the Japchae, with several people asking where it was from. I mentioned that this place specializes in catering, so individual orders might not be possible. The Tempura Shrimp was also a BIG HIT and was the FIRST ITEM TO DISAPPEAR from the buffet platters. Finally, the Gangjung Chicken was DELICIOUS, boasting a perfectly crispy texture and a wonderfully balanced, savory flavor. At the end of the party, I was thrilled to have leftovers to enjoy the following day.

The menu options are amazing! They offer such a great variety of delicious food, making it easy to create a menu that was perfect for our guests. Every single item was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. We received so many compliments throughout the evening, and people are still talking about the food! The presentation was beyond stunning. The entire setup was elegant, thoughtfully designed, and truly elevated the look and feel of the party. It became a focal point that guests couldn't stop admiring. On top of that, everyone on the TMC team was so kind, professional, and genuinely cared about making the event special. At the end of the night, they quietly and efficiently cleaned everything up, allowing me to simply enjoy the celebration without worrying about a thing. If you're looking for a caterer that delivers exceptional food, beautiful presentation, outstanding service, and a stress-free experience, TMC is the one. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

I booked XeoHello for my tea ceremony luncheon and everyone loved it, even my mom (who always says she can make things better at home haha). Andy was very helpful throughout the whole process. He answered all of my questions and provided details on what the service entails. For about 85 guests, I ordered about 100-110 banh xeos and had many other trays of food. I highly recommend ordering 1.5 banh xeos per expected guest since many people had 2 or more! On the day of, Andy and his crew showed up on time as promised and started making banh xeos at the requested time. The banh xeos came out hot and crispy! They provided all the fixings: lettuce, herbs, carrots/daikon, nuoc mam/fish sauce, and chopsticks. Many of our friends and family raved about how good the banh xeo was! We had a small amount of leftovers, which they packed togo. Andy and his team were amazing! The catering price was reasonable and the food was great. Will definitely hire again in the future!
