We hired Vatos Tacos for our wedding. Yummy food and great to work with. We had some changes a couple months out from the wedding that we wanted, and they were very responsive at accommodating our requests. They also were able to set out food earlier for our cocktail hour. We got to take home the leftovers and have been enjoying it since! Freezes very well. We also were able to order samples of the food early and throw a taco party for our friends to make sure we liked the food, which helped us to feel super confident and tasted great! read more

We hired Vatos Tacos to cater a 50th anniversary party in our backyard, and they were fantastic! The food was delicious, and everyone absolutely loved the spiked cucumber lemonade punch. The whole setup was professional and seamless, and they were also very reasonably priced -- such a great value for the quality of the food and service. A huge shout-out to Tony and Vinny for being so friendly, accommodating, and wonderful to work with. They helped make the celebration feel really special. We would absolutely hire Vatos Tacos again and highly recommend them for a party or event! read more

Vatos Tacos - Caterers Near Me

El Pastor, Asada, Chicken,...WOW! The flavor profile is very popular amongst whomever is invited when these guys cater! They provide it all, and it is top level tase! Rice and beans, quesadillas on the spot, very kind teams come to prep/serve the food. Every team we have ever had 3+ now, has been professional, kind, and fun! We had them for a few parties over the years and this review should have come much sooner!! Call them as soon as you know you're having a party because my guess is that they get booked, they're that good! Orchata, carrots/onions, jalapeño peppers, plentiful sides. We will definitely use their services again sooner than later. read more

They came to cater for my graduation party and the food did not disappoint. My only note would be the horchata which was sub par Other than that it was great and they were friendly read more

Somehow we did not get a photo of the food. Obviously we were too excited to eat it! The responsiveness of this business from the quote to the day of the party was five star! The food was delicious and everyone was satisfied even our vegetarian guests. The set up and service required no work from me. And the left over food was packed up for us to take home (except sauces so bring your own containers). Important to note is the cooking happens on a grill and you need an outdoor space available. Just good to know. read more

Ismael and JJ had the best personalities and the food was amazing!! the salsa bar had a great variety. they made me feel like I was at my grandmas house!! The meat was tender and juicy with so much flavor! Love them and definitely recommend these Vatos! read more

Had an awesome experience with Vatos Tacos, from the beginning when I was asking for catering options to the very end of my event everyone was helpful and kind! I thought the pricing was fair and considering everything you get it was one of the better more affordable options. They assisted with last minute changes easily and without issue. Day of, Garrett and Gino were friendly, accommodating, and personable. They have great customer service and made all our guests feel welcomed- everyone left well fed and we still had so many leftovers! So thankful to Vatos tacos for making our event a success, I'll definitively be using them for any future events! read more

Garrett and Angelo were fantastic for an event I hosted. They came promptly, set up well for smooth operations, and also cleaned up thoroughly. Best of all, they were extremely friendly so easy to work with. 5/5 recommend. read more

The entire process was flawless and the food was tremendous! Jimmy and Gino served approximately 100 employees for our Corporate event - and they were a delight. The best part is Vatos Tacos took all of the planning and logistics out of our hands by providing 100% of everything (after our initial menu elections). Highly recommend!!! read more

VATO TACOS was MUCHO BUENO!!! Della and Tony were the BEST, and the highlight of my event on 7/18/26. Thank you Chef Alex for making my event shine. I had a party of 100 people, and everyone could not stop complimenting the professionalism of your team (Della & Tony). No one was disappointed and everyone left my party FULL. This is definitely a business that I would suggest. read more

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

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

Vatos Tacos is the way to go! We went out on a limb and decided to trust the reviews. They were right! VT was very responsive via text and email through the event planning process, answering all my questions. And there were a hit at my husband's 50th birthday party! Everyone raved about the food and service, requesting business cards. Garrett, Anthony and Elijah were slightly early to our event, which was welcomed. They were so pleasant, helpful, efficient, respectful and professional. They made hosting easy! We appreciated the extra canopy on a warm and sunny day, sharing what to expect and packing all the leftovers, including complimentary gallon containers for the extra aguas frescas. Everyone enjoyed the steak, al pastor and sea bass tacos, elote cups, guacamole, horchata, cucumber lemonade, paletas and churros! All delicious! We won't hesitate to go with Vatos Tacos again! read more

Super happy with vatos tacos! Huge shout out to Tony and Andre who showed up early, they were polite and professional and great cooks! They had great attitudes on a hot summer day! Food was delicious and we had a ton left over which Tony and Andre boxed up for us which was super helpful. Very happy we went with vatos- it was so nice to host a party and not have to worry about the food. I was able to enjoy the party. I believe everyone went home happy with full tummies. 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

I attended a party tonight that Vatos Tacos catered. Not only were they the best taco catering company I've had, but every person working was so friendly and kind! I saved their info for my next party! read more

Vatos catered my wedding party June 2026. They were awesome to work with, and I would highly recommend. The food was great, and service was excellent before and during the event. Very attentive to dietary needs. The estimates for number of people served seemed close correct for us. We expected 100, ordered for 110, and had 90 show up. There was a lot of leftovers we sent home. It's overwhelming choosing taco catering in the bay area, and we were very worried. I can't speak to the quality of others, but Vatos is a very solid choice. Run by pros. The staff were stoked and seemed to genuinely like their jobs. The guy who answers the phone is super attentive and didn't get annoyed with the number of time I called to confirm (if you are reading this, we are sorry ) One small thing that should not affect your decision of taco company; they use an AI answering machine that pretends to be human (with kitchen sounds in the background). Maybe this is the new normal, but it is the first time I have seen it and it was off putting. read more

We had Vatos Tacos cater a graduation party for 80 people. The food and service were both outstanding! Tacos and sides were delicious, elote cups were a big hit with the group, and the churros were amazing. I highly recommend them for catering. read more

Vatos Tacos for the WIN!! From start up to finish Juan & Garrett were great! We had a company lunch for 75 people and everyone enjoyed the food.

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

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

"Uncle" Jimmy and Juan from Vatos Tacos were absolute pros! They provided excellent service for our wedding and were warm and friendly to us and our guests.

Vatos catered our event yesterday! Everything was fantastic! They were organized, efficient, helpful and the food was delicious! They catered my daughter's birthday a couple of years ago and they were a hit then too! Highly recommend them for your taco needs! 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

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

Vatos Tacos just catered a 70-person graduation party for us, and everything was amazing.

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

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

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
