Tako Bar Catering

I am from the San Jose area and have found it rather hard to find decent mexican food around here. I must say I am very impressed with the catering from Tako Bar catering. Juanita is def the person to turn to for tako catering and a great experience. Her Tacos are nothing short of phenomenal. I really hope she considers opening a restaurant as I would love to be able to eat her food on more occasions.
Her staff is excellent, and her set up is fun and decorative! I recommend giving them a shot if you are looking for good tacos.

Food is AMAZING! We hired Tako Bar Catering for my sons graduation party for 50 people. Everything from initial contact to having the food served was fantastic! They were on time. The set-​up looked beautiful. Everyone at the party commented on how great the food was. They helped make our party a success. Juanita was extremely accommodating and a truly nice person. We would definitely hire them again!

I had Tako Bar cater my recent event and my guests loved their food! This is one catering business that took care of all my party needs… and helped make my event stress-​free! I would recommend them to ANYONE! I can’t wait to have them back for my next event!

As you can tell– I don’t Unilocal businesses unless I’m very pleased or horribly disappointed… This review falls into the OMG best business ever category :)
Tako Bar Catering Service called me several times throughout the process and ensured the location and menu was accurate. Not only was Juanita professional but very sweet to work with. We hired Juanita and her team for my Baby Shower and as a pregnant woman I needed to ensure the food was good… Good is an understatement! The food was delicioso! Homemade sauces were fabulous! I’m obsessed with their homemade habanero salsa!
On the menu: Carnitas, Carne Asada, Pollo Asado Tacos, rice, and beans with all the fixin’s on the side
Do I recommend? MOST DEFINITELY! I will make sure to refer them to as many parties as I can and will absolutely use them in the future :)

Booked a party yesterday with Tako Bar Catering for my daughter’s baby shower yesterday. The set up was very beautiful, festive, and professional! The food was very delicious! All of my guest loved it! Staff was very nice and took care of the needs of my guests! I would recommend them to everyone that is looking for a Tako Bar! Awesome Job!!!

Disappointed. Juanita said she was going to come to the house and help me to figure out set up for our party… that was the day before our party… She never called or came by and we live moments from each other. Felt like she was always in a rush when speaking w/​me on the phone.
The cooks were late… Called to say they were in traffic… Meanwhile I have a hungry party stirring. The cook seemed very flustered the whole event. Other guest even mentioned it. The food was just ok… Nothing to write home about. The corn tortillas weren’t the regular size you buy at the grocery store… They were the extra mini tortillas. Never mentioned anything about that… A little surprised. Set up was very disappointing. Nothing like the pictures I saw online. Juanita mentioned she also had another party of 300 guest. I’m thinking my little party of 50 wasn’t that big of deal to them and we were given the left over set up items. The cook even had to ask me for utensils because they forgot to pack them. I feel like you shouldn’t of Booked another party if it’s too much for you. We shouldn’t be given less treatment because you have a bigger event. We were paying the same amount. My advice, make sure you’re there only event that day.

While planning a surprise birthday party, I needed a caterer so we did some research and found Tako Bar. After talking to Juanita on the phone, her professionalism and attentive to detail plus the great reviews on Unilocal are the reasons why we moved forward in hiring Tako Bar.
Juanita is a pleasure to work with. She arrived early to set up, cooked and served all the guests. We had pork, steak and chicken tacos. Her homemade recipes were delicious, her ingredients were fresh. We loved it all. What about that special hot sauce tho?!? Oh my, so good. Where can I buy some of that?
All the guests were super satisfied and wanted her business card. We definitely recommend Juanita /​Tako Bar. I’m sure I’ll see her again in the near future. Saludos!

They were amazing! We had them cater our Bridal Shower last weekend. Sergio and Ian did a great job, showed up on time, had enough food for 30 people, even enough for seconds! Everyone loved the food and the drink, OMG that Pineapple and Orange drink was the best! The tacos and all you can add to it was delicious. Everyone at the party compliment the service and food. They were on time and cleaned up after the party as if there was never a catering service there. No mess and left us the leftovers all nicely sealed. I would hire Tako Bar again and again, can never go wrong with tacos and anything else they prepare. Thank you!!!

I had a Party for 75 people and Sergio and the rest of the crew were excellent. The food and Secret Sauce was so good my guests were trying to take to go boxes home. The presentation and service was great. Very professional. Thank you so much To Jaunita for making everything run so smooth at short notice since I forgot to book the party before a trip. she saved the Day. I will definitely will be using Tako Bar again.

Juanita and her crew were great! I hired her for a graduation party for about 50 people and it turned out wonderful! The food was fantastic and Juanita was very accommodating when it came to time, and what I wanted to serve. Her girls that came and did the cooking were very professional and friendly. I will definitely be hiring them again!

Tako Bar Catering was TERRIFIC!!! Excellent communication from the day I booked their services to the day of the event! They were on time, very professional and most important the food was terrific!!! Great Tacos and rice, everyone commented on Jaunitas beans… We also did a chicken tri-​tip and slider bar. Everything was yummy and they were terrific to work with. I look forward to our next party we can have you at! Thank you again. Michele Marples

We hired Tako Bar Catering Service with only 10 days notice. They were very responsive when I contact them. On the day of the party, they showed up exactly at the time they said they would, quick set up and ready to go before they said they would be. Everyone loved about the food! Would definitely use them again for any type of event.

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Juanita is great to work with; she has a way of making you feel well taken care of during the planning process — and we were! They catered our wedding in Walnut Creek and served 220 people seamlessly in an hour! Everyone went home full and satisfied. Their tacos — pork, beef, and chicken — were so tasty! They even made tofu tacos for our non-​meat eating guests! Great food, great service!

Once again TAKO BAR CATERING did an EXCELLENT job! Joe was on time and everyone raved about the food! The ribs were do die for and were gone like hot cakes! PEOPLE PLEASE USE THESE GUYS! TRUST ME YOU, your party will be the talk of the town!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you again Juanita for everything. Everyone enjoyed the food!!! Can’t wait to use you guys again for another party!!!

I rented them for my son’s birthday party. They were on time and the food was delicious. My husband liked it so much that he took a business card for himself in case I ever lose their’s! The carne asada and chicken were delicious. The carnitas were tender and moist, not dry at all. The homemade salsas were yummy. The best part was they also made cheese quesadillas for the kids. They definitely made the party more fun and easy for me. Would definitely use them again.

I have not hired them yet since I never heard back. I called last week and left a message. I called and emailed this morning and nothing.
I guess a party of 50 is not big enough to bother…

This is my husband’s account but I actually dealt with Juanita myself! Where do I begin!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Tako Bar Catering Service!!! I’ve hired Juanita and her crew twice for both of my baby showers, and both times I received so many great compliments on how professional and AWESOME the food was! SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! HIRE TAKO BAR! You won’t go wrong. They are so professional and the setting is very elegant. I plan to hire them again for my daughter’s Baptism/​First Birthday. I can go on and on about how fantastic Juanita is but give her a shot and experience it yourself!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PEOPLE!!! 1000 STARS! I thought I had posted my review back in June when I had the baby shower but I guess it didn’t post correctly so I’m posting now! =)

We hired Tako Bar catering service for our backyard wedding and couldn’t be happier with their food and service. We would highly recommend them. Everyone commented how great the food was and how friendly the staff was. Coming from Vegas and trying to plan an out of town wedding was stressful enough, so glad we didn’t have to worry about the food. Thank you so much, from Kevin and Holly True

How funny that Juanita is also from Brentwood. I arrived at a private party where I was to assist and bartend at in San Francisco. Juanita and her team were cooking away and it smelled fantastic. They made this watermelon and strawberry juice that was amazing! It was a big hit at the party and if you add some vodka or Malibu Rum, it’d add a little something special to it. The party hosts had plenty of wine left over because people just loved this juice!
I had a pupusa for the first time. My sister has cravings for it but I have never had it. Theirs were so good, made from scratch and gave you an option of just cheese, or with cheese and beans with it. It is then topped with a cabbage salad and given the option for mild or hot. The guests were loving the hot sauce so I HAD to try it, and it was something amazing. After she left, lingering guests were inquiring after the hot sauce and if she had left some behind. She unfortunately took her ‘secret sauce’ with her. They also made quesadillas, had guacamole, sour cream, salad, rice and steamed veggies. It was all so very good and it seemed to be reasonably priced. I look forward to working with her again some day.

We hired Tako Bar Catering Service for my daughters high school graduation. The food was awesome! Super fresh and flavorful! Juanita’s crew came, set up and cooked tacos for my guests. There was Carne Asada, Chicken Asada and Marinated Pork for the meat selections. As an appetizer they cooked these ‘out of this world’ quesadillas topped with Juanita’s special sauces, cilantro, pico de gallo… I can’t tell you how good these were! Rice and beans, chips and salsa as well. The guests loved having their tacos cooked to order just for them. And the smells coming from the grill… ;) There is nothing this good or like this in East County and I HIGHLY recommend them. They were on time, provided all plates, napkins and utensils. Due to the crazy weather we had this year, I had to contact Juanita several times to change the set up. She always got back to me immediately whether I emailed her or called and left a message, although she usually answered the phone when I called. Very accommodating. The crew was very friendly and I would have them back here in a heartbeat! They cleaned up and packaged up our leftovers for us. Would have never known they were there! Having a Taco Bar at our event was fun and unique!
