Trendy Tacos

These people have a pattern of committing fraud. We had the same experience. If you placed your order with your credit card, advise the credit card company so that they can give you a refund. Print out these Unilocal reviews and send them to the credit card company so that they can see the pattern as part of their investigation. Also contact the orange county district attornrys office and file a complaint for fraud since they are based out of that county.

I was totally deceived by their website, i should have checked Unilocal first. When I called they took a deposit right away and said they would email me the details. I had to call back about 3 times before I received a confirmation email and the price was wrong on it. I called back yet again and was assured I would be given price that was promised. Setup was supposed to start at 12pm, and food was to be served from 1 till 4pm. Needless to say, I was calling at 1230 wondering where they were at. 2 women finally did show up around 1245. The young one automatically asked for my credit card and was trying to charge me a higher price. After calling and speaking to the owner he took $ 50 off but it was still more than the original quote, with guests arriving in 15min I agreed to the price. The young girl tried swiping my card with her cracked phone and when it didn’t work she told me my card was no good. Eventually she typed in the number and it went through. The two women proceeded to unload their equipment. There was absolutely nothing professional or hygenic about these two women. The older one was wearing a faded black «Best Buy» apron and the younger one literally had black crud under her finger nails. I’m sorry to say, but they both looked homeless. When they finally started serving, around 130, they were limiting my guests to 2 tacos each. I had paid for 50 people and there were about 35 people, that’s counting kids (this is a birthday party for a 1yr old). The meat had no seasoning, not to mention I had paid extra for a vegetarian option and there was no option. They had 1 paper plate for condiments which had to be replenished and we had to keep reminding them of that. They brought 2 bags of chips (for 50 people!) and a jar of salsa. The website said all fresh ingredients would be used and a chef would do all the cooking. There was nothing fresh about these ingredients and these women were nothing close to chef material. At 230 they started packing up and told me they were leaving at 3. I argued that they were supposed to serve till 4, but with how horrible everything was I said fine leave. I called the owner to complain and he gave me every excuse in the book. After going back and forth with him for a week, he finally agreed to refund a portion of the $ 450 I paid. But in true Trendy Taco fashion, I never received the refund. I kept calling and texting and have never gotten a response. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! THEY ARE A BUNCH OF CON ARTISTS!

I’m only giving them one star because I can’t find zero. My party is in two hours and there is already trouble… They called me 3 hours prior to my party and said they couldn’t cater today only deliver their food because one of their carts broke YESTERDAY!
So why they had to wait till 3 hours before my party. And the girl who called was very unprofessional and unapologetic… I’ll update when IF the food comes
Update THEY NEVER SHOWED UP!!!
THIEVES
They would not answer our call all day…

this is the worst company ever don’t get them no matter how nice they sound on the phone or how nice they have there wedsite. .they are so unprofessional they got 2 ½ late to my event i kept calling and calling them after the 5^th called they turn off there phone and they called me back 40 min. later saying gps lost them… when they got there they didn’t bring all the food i order, drinks, and the salsa was nasty the cilantro was nasty and old, the onions where cut big not the style for tacos… and the way they present everything was just a joke… don’t get this guy’s you will regret it i had my guess waiting to eat i had to go buy pizza to feed them… the only reason am giving them a start is because it won’t let me continue with the review into i give them a start… don’t get them. …and if you had the same experience as i did you should write to the better business bureau about them …

I was hired to provide photo booth services for the event mentioned above. As someone who strives to provide outstanding customer service, I was shocked beyond belief at what I witnessed from this company.
The service provided from this company was so far below par that I am disappointed that I even have to leave 1 star.
Not only is everything previously mentioned true and accurate (cold food, not enough food, hostess had to provide condiments, service was 2 hours late, etc). A few other details I noticed was:
The service equipment and utensils were dirty, falling apart, and had to be held up by bricks!
The cooks threw the raw beef and raw chicken together on the grill and used the same utensils to cook both. (As a side note… my family use to do catering and this is a health safety issue)
The cooks were very rude and although there was plenty of meat (which was the only thing they had excess of) they were telling guests that they could only have two (very tiny) tacos.
What saddens me even more is to now hear that this wonderful host and hostess have been threatened for exercising their right to complain about the service. They were the nicest people and even went out of their way to make us feel more like guests than a hired vendor.

This place was so bad! My mom reserved them for my engagement party and not only were they late, they also ran out of food when we specifically ordered for 50+ people! They then gave all of my guests a «2 taco limit» AND my mom had to supplement their beans! The food was cold and no chips or salsa like they said came with everything. Will NEVER use this place again. I was so embarrassed in front of my family and future in-​laws for such horrible service and bad food!

The food these people served was terrible! Not only was the food cold but it was very dry. My bestfriends mom had to supplement her own beans and salsa. No chips were brought due to «running out» at a pervious party. They where two hours late and this was her engagement party that she had family meeting each other for the very first time. Discussed with this place! Will let it known how terrible they are!

DAMN $ 450 taco person & really disappointed in the food and service! they RAN OUT OF FOOD because a previous party, only had a small amount of VERY dry beans rice and meat and the family had to provide the rest of the beans, chip, salsa (which was supposed to be provided) cheese and toppings. they only thing they had enough of was meat and that was only because they were stingey with the 2 (tiny) taco minimum. for that much money they were supposed to feed 50 people, they only had 30 guest and they still ran out and tried to claim they fed people. all in all they are avoiding emails and phone calls and it’s not right!!! OH & did I mention dinner was almost 2 hours LATE!!!

I am so disappointed and mad beyond belief! I was told that the reason for them running out of food was due to a previous party! I wanted dinner served at 4 pm and it was almost two hours late! I had 30 guests waiting for food and there were no chips at all, almost no salsa and I had to use my own beans and other condiments because they ran out or weren’t brought because they were used at the previous party! The beans were dry and the food was cold. I am completely disgusted and will not hesitate to leave bad reviews on every social media site if this is not made right. I paid a lot of money and was treated horribly and my guest were all disappointed.
Follow up: I received a call from the manager who told me that if I leave a bad review or bash them in any way on social media, they have my address and phone number and know where I live and I should watch myself. When I said I was calling the police he said he didn’t care because he’s an ex gang member and has served time in Solidad and three other prisons and he isn’t afraid of a b@&$# like me.
The owner called next and said he would only give me a partial refund of $ 150 if I would not give them negative reviews and defended his manager stating that the cooks and manager are family and his reason for threatening me was because I said his family were bad cooks!
