Bajas Tacos & Catering

My son had his 7^th birthday party yesterday on 11−21−15 and I hired Baja tacos and it was delicious my guests absolutely enjoyed the food. Perfect price, and will definitely hire them again and recommend them. Thanks Baja tacos

I hired them in the past for my baby shower and everything was wonderful. But when I hired then for my sister’s baby shower they didn’t show up. The owner blamed it on staff not booking me but the problem I have is that I confirmed with them Sept 15^th. Sent the copy of the deposit and he (whom ever answers the phone confirmed the date) booked them for Oct 17^th. I called around 12:30 because they were scheduled be at the shower at 12:00 to set up. He apologized and said they will try to get there around 1pm. I didn’t get a phone call but a text 1hr later stated that they couldn’t make. I was sooooooooo upset because I had 40 people to feed. See copy of text below
Baja:
We do not need receipt, just send me a copy of it, then you can keep it for your records
Me:
Ok thank you
Baja:
Confirmed
Oct 17^th at 12:28 I called and then I forward him copy of the text where they confirmed with me.
Me:
We confirmed on September 15
Baja:
Yes I saw twxt, could not found address, will arrive ASAP
Me:
Thank you (so at this time i am thinking they are on their way)
Baja:

Me:

If i use you guys in the future how can you guaranteed this will never happen again. My address is xxxxxxx san diego CA 92 115. When should I expect the check
Baja:

Me:

Baja:
Let me check with my bank, did it thru my bank
Me:
So was the check sent out, I can pick it up
Nov 1^st
Me:
How do I get my deposit, You texted me you sent it out through you bank and I have yet to received it. What do I need to do to get my money back. I am not the person who was suppose to provide a service and didn’t, you (your company) didn’t. So why must I wait even longer for something I didn’t do wrong.
Nov 2^nd
Baja:
Sorry, just resend check one more time
Me:
Today Friday 11÷6÷15 I have yet to see my refund. I can pick it up, just tell me when and where.
I finally received my money back ($ 100 not the $ 200 he stated he would send me)
. But at the same time I feel they didn’t do enough to assure me they will not do this again. So unfortunately I will never use then again. They put me in a very bad place and i had to come out of pocket even more money to feed my guest. AND they took forever to return my deposit. I am pretty sure that is not how people do business.

Great food! We hired Bajas Tacos & Catering for our housewarming party and had approx. 60 guests. They arrived about 15min late which was no issue since all of our guests were running on Mexican time. It took about an hour to set everything up just like they said, they really do make the tortillas on the spot which is fabulous. The food was DELICIOUS! We had chicken, pork and carne asada. We asked for quesadillas since we had vegetarian guests and those were also yummy. They set everything up for us on a table after they left which was great since we had guests arriving late. Some people ate again lol and we still had a lot of food left over. The service was great and the prices are also good. We’ve had 3 people ask for their info since they liked the food so much. If you’re thinking of hiring a taquero, we would highly recommend Bajas Tacos & Catering.

We had a family reunion this past weekend. Jesus and his staff were great! But even better than that… the food was phenomenal! It was THE BEST Carne Asada I have EVER had. The carnitas and chcken were also scrumptious. They set up, cooked, and served. Fantastic food, fantastic service… Do yourself a favor and hire them!

I booked BTC for my wife’s baby shower about 60 people we upgraded and added fish tacos. Overall food was the bomb! Hand made tortillas were fantastic! I usually don’t like Corn tortillas but fresh is always the best. I wasn’t expecting much regarding their meats because Carne Asada is about the same everywhere, but I have to say their Carne, Pollo and Adobado was some of the best I’ve ever had and I eat a ton of Mexican in SD. Meat was ultra tender very flavorful and juicy, cooked perfectly and all of my guests were impressed. I personally ate 6+ tacos (lost count) and most people were making multiple trips for seconds and thirds. Even with the high consumption we had a week of leftovers after. They had a full pan of guacamole and we barely used half. Usually caters skimp on guacamole.
Jose and his wife (?) arrived exactly when promised 1 hour before service and stayed the full 2 hours of service time. They constantly brought out hot fresh meat and tortillas and were very attentive during service. I highly recommend them and will use them again for future events.
I know some of the other reviews on Unilocal didn’t have a good experience, but I had a great one. I’m not sure if they have other folks working for them but if Jose is there you will be good to go.

A friend of mine hired them for catering, and they decided not to show up at the event and their excuse was they had an accident, 2 hours ago and didn’t let them know

Frustrated, these people are hard to get a hold of to make a reservation!

Transaction with Jesus, I’m guessing owner was fast and smooth.
They were schedule to be there at 1, they didn’t get there till almost 3, which I gotta say turned out better since most my guest got there at 4… Lol
As far as food quality; it was pretty good, had better but pretty good for the price… The Jamaica was bomb

Happened upon this number, needed a catering job for 100+ people with only 4 days notice. Service was great, Jesus understood the complexity of our situation and worked with us. The food was amazing. Prepared right before us. Nothing but goodness came from this company. Guess I can delete all the other taquero numbers I have. We will be using your services in the future. Thank you again!

Booked them for husband company picnic. Confirmed times wednesday, set up was suppose to be at 12:45 at 1:10 my husband called Jesus he said I don’t know what happened they left an hour ago. They showed up at 1:50 and said owner told them to leave at 1pm anyways food was OK. hand made tortillas were great. But overall I would not recommend there service.. They left a mess behind onion pieces, meat and God knows what else all over floor. booked for 80 cost was $ 640.

I have used Bajas Tacos 3 times before and recommended them to my friend for her retirement party at my house on ⁵⁄₂. She set it all up and took his deposit to his house in San Ysidro which he insisted be cash. I followed up with him via e-​mail and phone calls to make sure everything was going to be ok. He was supposed to be at our home between 5 and 5:30 to set up and dinner at 6 – 6:30. When no one was there by 5:50 I called Jesus and he sounded like he didn’t know and said I’ll find out what’s going on and hanged up the phone. He did not call back, after another 15min, I called again and again and no one answered the phone. We left numerous messages. One of my friends called from a different number and he answered the phone, again asked him if he was coming or not, nagain he said he would call and hanged up. Needless to say the guest were starving and we decided to go get pizza and as I was leaving my home two people show up and said they are so sorry but they were lost for one hour and now they start cooking. It. s now 6:45 pm. They did cook and served, the food was good but there was no ambiance and the setup was just a table with the food.
There was no reason for them not calling and telling us that they were going to be late or any other reason. We have two other parties coming up and a friend was also going to book the for her child’s graduation but we are not using them again.

Not very happy with their customer service. Contacted them to set up a sampling & most likely book a date for a large event. Was told to give them my availability via text message. Had to send a duplicate of my message 5 hours later because I never got a reply. Then was told he would get back to me shortly. 3 days later still no response.
Not going to beg /​bother them to take my money. Their loss. There are PLENTY of taco caterers in southbay. If this is how they handle incoming customers, it makes me question their ability to give adequate services when it comes to the event .
UPDATE: Just look at the owners comments on my review & others reviews. VERY unprofessional. Not one comment does he admit his wrong doing & try to make the customer happy. He is obviously very defensive & cannot hold himself accountable. He is also commenting False information to try and not make himself look as bad.
I did not write this review because I couldn’t get samples same day. I wrote this review because he never once returned my call. ALSO, I did not contact him on a weekend like he is trying to say. I contacted him on a Thursday…
I am merely trying to save the next person from making the mistake of hiring these people. Just by their actions, it is obvious you will get screwed from the company one way or another. How could you trust a caterer that is so careless about customer satisfaction ???

I decided to a an open house with Tacos the day before my open house!!! I called 2−3−4 different companies and many of them charged for food, couldn’t do it or didn’t include drinks. I called this company and they were able to provide food drinks and… do in 24 hours notice! I will definitely use them again and again and again and again!!! Highly recommended!!!

This is a company I have used for over 5 years, they have seriously gone down hill. Last year I hired them and they didn’t bring any forks and the guy acted like it was my fault. I didn’t Unilocal but I did write an email to the own and his response was you didn’t complain about the food so there isn’t a problem. I have them the benefit of the doubt and ask that they do not send me the same guy ever again. Yesterday they arrived late to my sons party, didn’t bring the meats I requested. Didn’t bring ice and was angry there was no shade because he forgot his canopy. He was very unprofessional and made my guests uncomfortable. I will never use this business again. There are better companies that provide the same thing with better service. Will never ever recomend again.

We went to the tasting and we were so impressed with the quality of food, we booked right on the spot. The food, hand made tortillas, and prices are amazing! Book now! I 100% recommend them hands down. Looking forward to our event. Will be letting you guys know how the event goes. I can already tell it’ll be great :)

Bolt brewery in la mesa hires different taqueros to serve tacos at their brewery. I have tried 4 or 5 different taqueros and I have to say I that I thought baja had the best ones I have tasted so far. I asked for a card since I am looking for a taquero for a baby shower, but before I commit I am going to try and catch them at another event

Baja Tacos is amazing. They were able to work with in my budget and drop off amazing tasting hot food! The homemade tortillas were amazing! I will use them again for future events. They delivered on time and set up everything, I did not have to do one thing but announce to my guests «food is ready», 5 stars for Baja Tacos!

Baja tacos catered my kids birthday party with approx 100 guests. They arrived promptly at the time indicated and within an hour had everything ready to serve. They had all the supplies and food that I needed to make this party success. The tacos were delicious! In addition Manuel and his
Team were respectful and went out of there way to meet our needs. The price, quality and service can’t be beat.

Needs heavy work on customer service. Fellow disable veterans avoid these guys as their customer service sucks. Never even made it to the point of finding out about their food before who ever representing them decided to rudely comment mocking my integrity. As if sacrificing myself for their freedoms makes me a bad person? This wounded warrior will not be doing business with this establishment and will be recommending his fellow oath keepers and friends avoid companies that will rudely mock our character.
Highly disappointed in the lack of professionalism from the person representing the company. As a business minded person one should be open to all situations and adapt to them as they come in a professional manner. Not rudely mock a disable veterans character, completely un-​sat. Next time someone would like to be rude they should not represent a business establishment as it taints the character of that establishment. Especially not cool to do to disabled veterans imo.

I was also a guest at a party that Claudia was at. I am not related to anyone, I was just a guest. I was there two hours early before you guys were even there. The tortillas were cold inside the ice chest and the rice and beans were inside foil tins NOT crock pots. I was taking pictures of the party the whole time & I have proof. The rice when served was very cold. The first people they sent to work were very eager to leave because they had another party to go attend to. The 2^nd group that came respectfully apologized and even admitted that the other workers were very lazy. Yes the food was good but the service was horrible & cold. I personally as a guest attending a party would not hire. Or at least make sure you get the people that actually do their job right!
