Awesome food and great service! Some friends catered from Vatos Tacos for a pre-wedding luncheon for some friends in their backyard. The mom and uncle of the owner showed up early to set up and start cooking. They were professional, kind, and very friendly. I was stoked that they cooked everything fresh on site and didn't just have food in warmers. We got to choose among proteins and veggies, and the salsa bar was awesome. Kids and adults alike really enjoyed the churros too! They boxed up all leftovers after the event, so we ate tacos for leftovers and froze a bunch too for later. The only thing one of my friends said was that paying extra for salad wasn't worth it because the salad was just from a bag. Everything was delicious, and I ate too much! I highly recommend Vatos Tacos for your catering needs! read more

Vatos Tacos - Caterers Near Me

We booked Vatos Taco for a reception to feed about 100 people. It was reasonably priced .. fed about 6 tacos per person, salsa bar was included along with 2 jugs of the agua frescas. Jimmy, Tony and Bradley were great! Friendly and made sure everyone was full and happy. They came 2 hours prior to start of event to get set up so once everyone came they were ready to roll. The food was amazing. We ordered the tacos - chicken, carne asada and al pastor. All were good. Couldn't have been happier with how everything came out. Will definitely consider them again for our next event!! read more

Vatos Tacos was the caterer for the celebration of life event of my late friend and police comrade JD on 03/26/2025. They arrived at the venue to set up approximately two hours before the 12pm reception. I'm sure their punctuality was appreciated by JD's sister, who had a lot of details to take care of for the event. After the memorial service, I got to the reception at around 12:15pm and the taco action was already in full swing. The operation was divided into two areas - one for tacos and the other for fixings/drinks/churros. Three types of meat were offered - steak, chicken, and carnitas. I tried all three and they were all very good. I especially loved the carnitas. It had a nice char on the outside and was flavorful and succulent. The fixings were all freshly made and delicious, and the churros were probably the best I've ever had. I spoke with the Vatos team briefly and they were all very friendly. I was told they are strictly a catering service with no brick-and-mortar operation, and their pricing is based on the number of event attendees. Based on my experience, their high Yelp rating is well justified. Personally, I'd totally consider using them for future events. 5 stars. read more

Meat preference for me: -Beef (tasty, but more wet texture, not grilled asada texture/flavor) -Chicken -Pork (bit swiney flavor, or maybe it was the seasonings used) Tacos come as double tortilla; plenty of meat. Food temp was between room temp / cool; wish it was a bit warmer especially right out of the warming pans. Salsas are fine, but not bold flavor and zero spice/heat for both red and green. Elote. Bright, fresh tasting. hints of citrus and spice from chili. Possibly a highlight of the meal. Vinny and Tony were 5 stars. Great service, friendly, and fun. Helped give info for future business inquiries. I didnt plan it so can't comment on their promptness, communication, or overall value for service. I believe the packages are around $16+/person. You can get other add ons like salads, quesadillas, churros, drinks read more

They catered a large event (120pl) for us this weekend. Food was delicious. Staff were excellent (had many guests tell us how much they enjoyed interacting with them). We had a number of gluten-free and vegetarian guests. They all felt very comfortable with the options. I'm glad we went with Vatos! read more

Vatis Tacos catered for my son's first birthday and the food was delicious! All our guests loved the elite, tacos and the secret sauce the brought. They were prompt, incredibly professional and friendly with our guests and were very efficient in packing away the extra food for us to enjoy later. I highly recommend them!! read more

OMG. We hired Vatos Tacos for my son's first birthday party where I had half our guests travel in from San Diego... serving tacos to a bunch of San Diegans is risky, but SO many people oooh'd and ahhh'd over these. The guys (JJ and Garett) were SO friendly - very communicative with me as they were setting up, ensured we had the perfect spot for service, cut up my sons quesadilla for him, made me cheese skirt tacos, the list goes on... every guest said they made the experience even better with how friendly they were. We had a group of about 30 and Vatos Tacos minimum is 50, so we have plenty of extras - they boxed and labeled it all up for us so we had things nicely organized in the refrigerator for leftovers. Highly, highly recommend and we will absolutely be using them again for another event! read more

Vatos Tacos catered our work appreciation lunch (second year in a row). Jimmy and Angelo were amazing. So friendly, professional, and fun!!!! Thanks for a great event as always!! read more

We scheduled them to cater my sister's party. They offer lots of menu options, which was a plus. Unfortunately, the carne was overly seasoned and way too salty, which was disappointing and took away from the overall experience. While the variety is good, the food quality was inconsistent. I hope this is something they improve on in the future. read more

We used Vatos Tacos to cater our work Christmas lunch. They set up and had all the food prepared by the time we had asked them to be ready. Everyone really enjoyed the tacos, churros and elote cups. They were very friendly. They cleaned up the area when they were done really well too. Will definitely be using them again for another work catering event. read more

The tacos and quesadillas were excellent, but the best part was their professionalism and customer service. Dalla and Garett were wonderful to our guests which made the night special and easy for us to enjoy the birthday party. Set up and clean up were perfect, and the guests raved about how well the were treated and how delicious the food was. What a treat! read more

Vatos Tacos - Caterers Near Me

Had a chance to try them at a 40th birthday bash. Tacos were really good but the star of the show and not like my go to pick, chicken. It was very flavorful and juicy. 2nd would be the Al Pastor and then steak, I wasn't too fond of the steak because it was on the dry side. Staff was very fast and nice. They had a good variety of toppings that included chips, rice and beans. I didn't get a chance to try them but nice to have the option. Chipotle sauce is a must on the tacos to give them an elevated taste. Also got to try the shrimp cocktail cups and elote corn. The shrimp cocktails where good and refreshing. Not too big on the elote cups, a little too much mayo for me. read more

We had Vatos Tacos cater our Halloween lunch at work, and they were great. Della, Salena, Gino and Toni were the cooks, and the meal service ran SO smoothly because of them. Thank you SO MUCH!. You can expect classic Mexican street tacos with all the fixins, plus rice and beans. We had people lining up for seconds immediately after their first plate was done. The paletas were a hit--add on those for sure. We were also able to select vegetarian beans and rice for our veggie population, and the soy chorizo was a hit. read more

Recently used Vatos Tacos to cater my kid's birthday party and overall had a fantastic experience. It was very easy to communicate with Alex - from the planning, to the check-in's prior, all the way until the day of. They have a great selection of meats and dishes to choose from and we chose some of their additional offerings like quesadillas, elote cups, and churros. All of the food was crazy good and nearly everything was devoured by the end of the event. The team who worked the event were easy to talk to and super friendly. Whatever was leftover was packed up by the catering team for guests to take home. 100% would book them again! read more

Great! Best tacos! Delila and Vinny are the best servers. Would have Vatos Tacos again!

They catered for my companies Christmas party today. Food was delicious, fresh and hot. The drinks were fantastic as well. Really good service and they were on top of everything. I'm hoping we get them for the next event! read more

Buyer beware, we were referred to Vatos by a coworker. We check out their website, checked their yelp reviews, Oh wow, you guys catered company parties and for davante Adams, must be legit. We call and coordinate for a birthday party at Lincoln landing in Hayward, told them the date and location. "We've done events there, no problem". Fast forward to the actual day of event, the crew shows up late, pretty much unable to bring their grill and what not to the patio on the 2nd floor... what? I thought yall been here no problem, wrong. Due to the crew not being able to bring up their equipment, they let us know they will bring back smaller grills to cook everything and serve it. Umm okay, I guess? They leave and come back two hours later.. two hours later really? It's getting dark now and they brought all their cooked meats and start setting up some griddles to heat up the tortillas. Wasn't the agreement for fresh tacos just like any other taco company, not pre cooked meat and just warming up tortillas. Those 'fresh' churros that were supposed to be cooked on the spot ended up being a bundle of soggy, cold churros that were brought from who knows where. The food was okay at best, the service was meh, I understand it's not the workers fault and they tried to be professional as possible under the circumstances. But one of the workers stated: "we still showed up and served food for two hours" Seriously? If we wanted this trash experience we could've just catered with chipotle and called it a day, at least we'd know what we're spending our money on. I understand things happen etc, that's life. But don't flip the script and make it seem like we're at fault. We're literally clients paying you for an experience, not the other way around. I'd do a one star review but they ended up partially reimbursing us for the experience. Sorry, not sorry. read more

Giving five stars because the food was good,and the service was great. Not authentic but good food. The salsas roja y verde were mild and could of used more salt and spicier Chiles. The beans were good and so was the rice, although not authentic Mexican rice. They brought churros and also provided one agua fresca which was a pretty good horchata. All in all they provided good service for a company outing. read more

Their tacos are really good, I was invited to a Birthday Party and they handle everything very well.

Just had their tacos at a baby shower and it was amazing! Great food and amazing service! Loved that the salsa bar was also constantly restocked. Very attentive and super nice team. Delicious! read more

We had a poolside taco bar using the drop off service. They did drop off the food, and proceeded to set up all the dishes and serve-ware, and greet the guests letting them know what was being served before leaving. Everyone loved the food! Thank you! read more

Their food was truly unforgettable. Their tacos were packed with flavor!!! Their service at my babyshower was truly outstanding. Andrew and Geronimo were wonderful!! Their prices are a bit up there, but they are truly worth it. Our guests couldn't get enough of the tacos. Thanks guys!!! read more

Excellent service Gino, Dells, Jimmy, Josue were great!! The churros were the boom! Fast service.

So happy to have them at our event! They did an amazing job with set up, serving, and clean up. After guiding them to their spot, they did the rest. I loved how no stress it all was. Food was also great and I really liked how they offer vegetarian options as well. Tony, Josue, Vinny, and Garret were all so kind and helpful and were great at communicating with me during the service. Really appreciate all their help and I have them to thank for why our event was such a hit! read more

Hired for a work party! Everyone was professional and friendly, food was great, the team enjoyed it

We hired Vatos Tacos for a team lunch hosted at our office for 125 people. Vinnie and Jimmy were extremely nice and friendly, they even were willing to start serving a bit earlier than planned! The food got raving reviews, the only thing to note is their elote cups were not like authentic elote. Although still good, I think quite a few people were expecting traditional elote cups you can get from street vendors in the Bay Area. BUT they also have a special chipotle sauce that was super delicious and I am a huge fan of good sauces. Thank you! read more

My girlfriend's company booked them for catering for a company picnic and they were simply amazing! Della, Toni, and Monique handled everything so smoothly and went above and beyond for the event. They had to haul all their gear up and down a wet grassy hill to get to the venue on a chilly SF morning, but that didn't stop them from serving up some truly delicious tacos. Everything was really well organized and my gf loved their jamaica. read more

They are amazing Gino's, Della, Jimmy, josesway...they did my son school event!!!​​​

fantastic taco catering- very professional, food was great, and service was excellent. This was basically the only company who responded thoroughly, professionally, and consistently to both texts and emails. They came roughly 2 hours before our event and were helpful throughout. All the food was excellent and they even packed up the leftovers for us! Highly highly recommend Vatos Tacos for any event! read more

I originally gave Vatos Tacos two stars, but after receiving Alex's unpleasant response to my initial review, I am lowering their grade again to one star. First of all, my original critique gave several accolades to the business; great first impression of how professional and organized they were during the planning stage as well as their impressive website and invoicing process, their nicely decorated SALSA BAR, and how my kids commended their signature vato loco chipotle sauce as delicious. My eldest never eats salsa, so his compliment on their sauce is very noteworthy. I definitely gave them credit where it was due...and even though I am lowering their grade, I still recognize their applaudable attributes and don't dismiss them. I provided a very fair assessment of Vatos Tacos, starting off by saying that my kids gave a three star rating, but after listing the PROs and CONs of our experience and noting Alex's snotty attitude, I deducted one star. Alex, however, replied to my review by accusing me of jumping "on the band wagon" to "bash" them. I beg to differ - if my evaluation included praises, that is in no way slamming them. Perhaps he just cannot accept constructive criticism or recognize that he could have handled things differently. Alex also claimed that my mom "was extremely rude and disrespectful" to his staff. Umm...not only did she make sure that they took a break to eat and drink, she also gave each staff member an ADDITIONAL cash tip. Again, Alex flew off the handle with false accusations. Alex's defensive reaction to my first review proved my initial case - he is arrogant, lacks grace, and can be nasty to clients who call him out when he falls short of something. Not cool at all and a major turn-off - YUCK! Can Alex reply to this review without hostility and false allegations? read more

They were punctual, well organized, polite and the food was tasty. I will be using them for future gatherings.

We used Vatos Tacos to cater our wedding reception and it went flawlessly!! The food is delicious!! And they have great vegetarian options. We did their taco sampler before we booked them, which was a pick up order for 10 people and had a tasting at the house. We were hooked instantly! At our wedding, all our guests told us how much they loved the food. The team was on time, professional, accommodating, and so incredibly friendly. They were able to turn out fresh food for 100 people with really short wait times. They were able to work around our ceremony and cocktail hour logistics. They were flexible to update our order once we had the final guest count and responsive on all my emails and questions. We've already ordered from them again since our wedding. Highly recommend Vatos Tacos for all your Mexican catering needs! read more

Let me start by saying the price point and interaction was top notch. Setting up the menu with all of the options was the best part of it. The communication from start to the date of the event was very professional. I will hire again for my next event. For whats it worth, get the elote cups. Thanks guys for making our event trouble free. read more
