San Diego Taco Company

We had SD Tacos cater a small retirement party at Carlsbad State Beach. EVERYONE loved the food, especially the side guacamole. We ate the whole pan! Everything was authentic and well prepared. Tasted great the next day as well. Thanks SD Tacos for taking our catering order so close to our event date and for showing up on time, with warm, fresh food. Would highly recommend you to everyone!

The San Diego Taco company catered our wedding and it is no wonder they are rated #1! Not only is their food the most delicious, they are the kindest most attentive people to work with. From the beginning we worked with Carolina who helped us from tastings and what food to order to organizing the delivery and set up. She was wonderful to work with. The day of the wedding we got nothing but amazing compliments from our guests about the food, the service and the staff. Our guests were so pleased, many asked where they could get this food again and how delicious everything was. Our idea for our wedding was laid back, easy going, budget friendly and delicious food. And we got just that! They were very reasonable on their prices and they sent us home with lots of leftovers! We would highly recommend them to anyone for any occasion!

I recently worked with San Diego Taco Company during a wedding that they catered. I found their food to be delicious and their staff to be super friendly. Their mulitas? To die for. They came ready to set up and hauled everything away when they were done. Great job!

Best. Wedding. Food. Ever.
We were so excited to have SD Taco Company cater our wedding and they did not disappoint! They were great to work with during the planning stages and came through on the big day. So many guests told us it was the most delicious, and most fun, wedding food they’ve ever had!

Used them to cater a wedding of 130 people. We tasted their food in their SD restaurant and fell in love. We had beef, chicken and fish tacos with ceviche and Mexican corn to start, as well as tamarindo and horchata. They confirmed 1 week before and a few days before. They were open to changes even last minute. They arrived on time and everything was ready to go when stated. The food was amazing! We have many compliments on our choice of food.
I would strongly recommend them for any occasion!

One of my favorite tacos shops in SD! I crave their food all the time!
LOVE love love their BEER battered fish. Tastes like beer! Their veggie taco is also my favorite. Their empanadas are amazing too!
Friendly staff and great customer service! Keep it up Salud SD!

They finally emailed me, acknowledged their mistake but denied that my order was incomplete and offered free delivery on my next order to make up for it. I’m knocking off a star for this absurd attempt at resolving my issue.

This is for the San Diego Taco Company food/​taco cart. They provided food at Mt. Helix amphitheater. Long story short — the service was ridiculously and horrendously slow. I got in line nearly 1 hour before the show started. There were only about 15 – 20 people in front of me. Took one hour to get my food — and they were just serving up tacos, rice and beans — nothing fancy. I felt bad for the other 30 or so people behind me who were still waiting after the show started. Food was fine, but was still aggravated from the hour wait to enjoy it, and too pricy for taco cart food for me — $ 11 for 3 street tacos, and small side of rice and beans.

I guess there’s a first time for everything as Unilocal Reviews often match my own experience but not at all in this case. I was so excited with the prospect of this place to provide food for a family gathering. With 25 people, it made sense for us to feast on tacos instead of trying to grill our own hotdogs and whatnot at the beach.
Long story short, I contacted the place and provided all the info they requested to move forward with an order only for them never to follow through with the order. On the day of the gathering, I was left high and dry in a panic as I ran around like a headless chicken looking for a place where I could order food for my group of 25! I called and emailed several times on the day of the event, only to never get a response. The scary thing was that at one point, the mailbox wouldn’t let me leave a message but instead, several messages played from people who were also begging them to return their phone calls!
When somebody finally contacted me, they blamed me for putting the wrong date but they also didn’t show up on that date they thought it would be! Wouldn’t common sense dictate a business to confirm the date or at the very least, to return messages? No apologies but rather a «this was your fault, not ours» response. Crazy!
So I’m happy for all the people who had a positive experience here but wouldn’t take my risk if you want to make sure you get your order done right (or at all for that matter!).

After trying out several places, we chose SD Taco Company to cater our event (90 people). From the inquiry to the actual event, all went seamlessly.
My email inquiry was immediately responded to, and after a few emails back and forth our menu was decided. A few days prior to our even I received a phone call to confirm, at which time I actually made a few changes, which were no problem for them to handle.
The servers were on time, set up quickly, kept the area clean, and very pleasant. All of our guests were raving about the food, and desperately waiting for all the guests to eat so that they could get seconds.
I would highly recommend them, for either a stop by at the location or catering, they were top notch on customer service all the way.

Awesome street tacos! Had the pleasure of grabbing some samples while at a bridal show, probably the only thing keeping me from going into a sugar rush from all the cake, and DANG they are good. Smokey carnitas, tender chicken, so stoked that they actually have a brick and mortar down in the barrio. They’re a definite contender for catering because who in their right mind doesn’t love tacos?! And great ones at that.

One word. HORALE!!!
We just used SDTC for our wedding reception this weekend, and SDTC, you R-​O-​C-​K the Amadeus! All we received ALL night were kudos and compliments about the food being the BEST wedding food our guests ever had! We even had people from up near Fresno (where there is GREAT Mexican food) telling us, «The BEST!».
Carolina was incredibly helpful, every step of the way, and even added the nacho bar and ceviche appetizers, last minute, when we realized we would just be to busy to do our own. It was a brilliant choice because EVERYONE was thrilled with the food, and the guys working the grill kept it coming, hot and spicy, all night long.
It was incredibly affordable. The truck was at our venue right to the minute of the appointed time. They cleaned up all the stuff themselves. After all the work my new wife put in, preparing for this, we really could not have hoped for more helpful and friendly people to work with.
They even gave us all the left-​overs, and I will be in carne asada induced coma for weeks to come!
I wish we could married again just to have them back! Great job, SDTC!!!

Really great tacos! The variety is awesome, they have mulas too and a different special item every day of the week.
Salsas are also tasty, and they serve beer! But unfortunately the service was a little slow so I only gave them 4 out of 5 stars. I get it, you want to chat with your friends but I only get an hour for lunch.
That being said the food is still great and it’s Logan so, for now, still plenty of parking around.

We used SDTC for our wedding on 11÷2÷14 at The Soledad Club. They did such an outstanding job and were by far the most competitively priced for what we got and the quality of the food.
We had fish ceviche, Mexican fruit cups, and chips and guac as tray passed appetizers. And just the standard entrée selection plus carnitas which were my favorite. Guests still tell us how incredible the food was, 4 months later. Dreaming of how delicious it all was. Sadly I didn’t have much time to soak it all in at the wedding but hopefully I will have another chance to taste these tacos soon!

I just used SDTC two days in a row for an in-​office corporate lunch (~50 people per day) and I could not be happier with the results!
Most importantly (and surprisingly hard to come by with catering companies), the SDTC is VERY accommodating. Caroline responded to my initial email inquiry promptly and gave me a list of meats and asked me to choose 2 per day. I was worried because I wanted to do 3 of them (to include the vegetarian option without angering the oh-​so-​sensitive carnivores) and Carolina complied and said it was no problem. The beans and rice can also be cooked vegetarian upon request (sans lard and chicken broth), which is extremely rare for an authentic (tasty) taqueria.
The food is excellent. The sides are flavorful, the chips are oh-​so-​crisp and perfectly seasoned, and the meat is tender and delicious (you’d be happy just to stand over it and breath in the heavenly grill scent). Everyone is raving about the soyrizo and potato vegetarian option (even non-​vegetarians) and the chips. Quite a few of my coworkers have come up just to tell me «this is the best food we’ve ever had here» (which is saying something since we cater lunches here from various restaurants a few times a week).
I will definitely use them again for our taco (or any large lunch) needs and pray that they lower the delivery minimum to 10 people so we can use them more frequently.
I also can’t wait to go to their restaurant in Barrio Logan. Nothing but great things to say about this company. Special thanks to Carolina and Sergio for making my job so much easier for coordinating these lunches!

Enlisted the help of SDTC to cater my Husband’s Birthday Party. I took a chance off of Unilocal and the Unilocal Reviews and went with SDTC… Best decision I could have ever made! Food was Amazing… It was awesome… Rice and beans delicious… Salsa excellent and spicy… I couldn’t have been more pleased with service and quality… The carne and pollo asada Excellenté… Flavor was great… My guest raved… They even granted Military discount, on behalf of my Active Duty Husband… We were very pleased and will definitely enlist SDTC for other events we have… I’m definitely gonna spread the word to friends and family, and we will be in the restaurant for Taco Tuesday!!! Great job well done!

Outstanding food! Tacos are on POINT and street corn is redic! Hidden gem in barrio Logan for sure, highly suggest you find it! Looking forward to trying out for taco Tuesday special. Ohhh and the green salsa will leave you salivating for more. Well done.

I recently booked San Diego Taco Company based on Unilocal.Although there are a handful of negative reviews, I took my chances as the ease of booking them and the rates were excellent. Their rates are some of the better ones I had found and they seemed like a legit company. I was very pleased with the professionalism of this company.
There was a $ 100 deposit required. For 40 people, catered service, including a mandatory 20% gratuity, it was only $ 480 for pollo and carne, tortillas, beans, and rice (contrary to what my friend said — as her work hired them for delivery service-​, they provided more than enough side items). Also, they were able to make up to 1 quesadilla per guest. They provided a table for their salsas and chips, and also included utensils, napkins, and plates.
Our event started at 2pm and they arrived at 12 pm to set up and cook. Additionally, they quoted to stay for 1 to 1.5 hours, but stayed for 2 hours to ensure they served all the guests. Any leftovers they allowed us to keep.
You can pay check or card to book them. They looked and acted very professional and inviting to our guests and I will definitely book them for future events!

I seriously cannot begin to imagine San Diego Taco Company either disrespecting or providing «bad customer service»… So naturally I was completely taken back when I read the recent negative reviews…
I’ve been coming to San Diego Taco company for a couple of months now and they have ALWAYS BEEN SO WELCOMING and open to my pickiness and change this change that requests! I absolutely LOVE THE TACOS as well as the ceviche on Sundays!
You definitely have to be patient if there is an event at the art gallery but that’s common sense! The food is so good so of course they are going to be busy!!!
Come down to San Diego Taco Company!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

I truly enjoyed very good street tacos, and this place adjacent to the Border X Brewery sure makes some scrumptious tacos. I tried three: the birria made from a tender shredded pork, the traditional carne asada, and the al pastor.
I first started with the carne asada and pork al pastor (
). The carne asada was excellent and came seriously over stuffed with tender and smokey beef. I had the carne asada with everything on it and I added some of their red hot sauce from the self serve salsa bar (
). Everything together tasted amazing and I would get this one again. The al pastor was okay. I felt that it was lacking in that deep chile flavor that a good marinate for this recipe requires. In addition, the pork meat was not as tender as I expected it to be and it was a little dry. That being said, the rest of the ingredients on this taco were good, especially that creamy cilantro sauce on top (
).
The pork birria taco was by far my favorite. First of all and uniquely, they use tender shredded cooked down pork meat, that spent hours being cooked in a chile red sauce. Secondly, they put some of that fine salty Cotija cheese, and I added some of their green hot sauce to top it off (
). The pork meat inside was very juicy and full of great flavor of that red chile sauce (
). This is a must try when you come to visit.
I like that they quickly and lightly fried the in house made tortillas. They had a great composition, from a crisp to soft center. A nice balance. The place is, for now, ONLY opened on Friday’s and Saturdays from 12 pm till late evening and early Sunday morning until the afternoon for those who need a cure for their hang over. That’s what they told me, so plan accordingly.
At $ 2.50 a piece, are they a little pricey? They do stuff them tacos though.
