    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

    Amazing delicious crispy banh khot. Even more than amazing customer service! I called as soon as…read morethis place opened on Wednesday to secure 100 banh khot (50 combo, 25 shrimp only, 25 pork only) for pickup at 4pm. Tony greeted me on the phone and I could feel his smiles radiating through the cell. When we arrived Tony was happy to see us. Dude is high on happiness! It was fun to watch him work: he lifted the curtain --called into the kitchen the number of banh khot and pickup time, a sweet female voice responded and then minutes later out came boxes of hot crispy banh khot. The restaurant is the true definitions of your "hole in the wall". One table with 2 chairs in the middle, and a few stools facing the window. Outside has the two knee level tables and squat chairs, like the ones in Asia. The banh khot from this hole in the wall is bomb which makes this place the top winner of all holes in the wall! THE SAUCE- it's the best nuoc mam fish sauce to pair with banh khot! Savory and not too sweet. One of the best 'crack' sauce! We ordered a small sauce, Tony was generous and gave us the large jar. He probably knew we'd drink all of it. The banh khot was the high light of our party! They were still crispy and fresh even after hours of traffic. We didn't get a chance to take pix of the two gorgeous boxes 'cause the family gobbled them before we knew it.

The banh khots and egg rolls are crispy and tasty, especially with the fresh herbs/veggies and fish sauce! We always order a combination of banh khots and egg rolls. It's easy to order through their online system, although I did notice the prices are a few dollars cheaper on the signs in the store. I think the extra cost is worth it though, considering we have a long drive and want to guarantee that we get what we want. While we were sitting there eating, a number of people came in to order, and those who ordered on the spot seemed to have to wait awhile for their food to be prepared. I highly recommend trying this spot when you're in the area. I wish there were places like this closer to LA!

We really enjoyed the garlic noodles, musubi, toasts, short ribs, and veggies. I personally enjoyed the food so much that I stopped by lunch service. Picked up a Philly Melt, Salmon Soba Noodle Salad, and Vietnamese Coffee cookie. The food was made to order. It was prepared hot and fresh. The salmon had such good flavor. Unfortunately, they forgot to pack the dressing for the soba noodles so I didn't get to enjoy it fully. Nonetheless, the Philly Melt was very savory and so good with the grilled onions. Cookie was also tasty and has a nice chew. Overall enjoyed Chef Carol's food and excited to come back for lunch service.

    From the outset, we were incredibly pleased to work with Brittany as our event specialist for our…read moreNovember wedding at Serra Plaza. Her transparency, responsiveness, attention-to-detail and professionalism consistently set her apart. Brittany was always proactive and reliable; we never had to chase for answers or run around in circles. One of the greatest advantages was her delivery of timely, updated quotes--something we deeply appreciated for effective budget management. Even before we booked the venue, Brittany walked us through detailed rain contingency plans, which proved invaluable when we encountered a once-in-a-blue-moon torrential downpour on our wedding day. As a bride coordinating family travel from across the globe--while also navigating significant challenges with an approved vendor--Brittany stepped in at critical moments and ensured the day ran smoothly from an operational standpoint. Our guests could not stop praising the outstanding, multicultural food (especially the bulgogi beef bao, dessert stations and confetti cake) and the thoughtful allergy accommodations, which were handled seamlessly. Guest experience was one of our top priorities, and Brittany's execution gave us complete confidence. On our wedding day, anything within her scope was something we never had to worry about - and the food was one of the TOP compliments received from guests. The only feedback we strongly encourage the business to consider is a thorough audit of its approved vendor list. Unfortunately, our greatest challenges stemmed from a vendor on this list. Brittany's efforts were instrumental in mitigating issues caused by this vendor that could have otherwise impacted the success of the event. The strength of Serra Plaza's internal team deserves to be matched by the same standard across all required vendors to protect future couples. Beyond this, our experience was exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for Brittany's leadership and support. Thank you to the full team for stepping up to the plate when we needed it the most to execute the best day ever. We recommend Jay's Catering and Serra Plaza to any couple for the food, professionalism, service and kindness!

From the beautiful presentation to the excellent quality provided, this is a company I have put on my list as number one! and have shared with several others.

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!
