Tacos El Compa

Graduation party for 50 people in the back yard… check! Everyone loved having the «taco guys» there and wanted their business cards. Daniel and Carlos were punctual, friendly and were a great addition to our party. They even packed up the leftovers to leave for us.

Address: 1321 Blossom Hill Rd, San Jose.
I was hungry for some good Mexi and had driven by this place for months while it displayed: Taqueria opening soon!
Meh.
My taco with asada, was a generous serving of the scraps of asada; like someone scrapped the bottom of the frying pan. Tidbits of crispy and shiny beef. Tasty fatty! Low rent.
Torta: was filled with carnitas and day old lettuce; the bun somehow tasted bland and the mayo, generously slathered on did not make it tasty.
Tacos El Compa: please up your game!
Red salsa: very good.
Green salsa: ok
Interior: basic and lonely.

Great catering! They guys arrived on time, everything was exactly as I had ordered, the food was delicious and it was very reasonably priced! Couldn’t have asked for anything better, would highly recommend them to friends and would absolutely use them again!

The food and service were excellent. I emailed about a selection and came up with a menu within minutes. The pricing was very reasonable. All of my guests were very happy with the meal. I loved the chicken and steak. The guacamole was tasty and I wish there had been an endless bowl option as I would have purchased it. The pineapple fresca is very refreshing. I intend to use them for other parties in the future.

Just had them cater an event for 200+ people. First off Hugo correspondence was punctual and kept his quote reasonable and also he confirmed day before the event with me all the details. I have hosted several events and most of the time I have to call the businesses all day before. It is a big help to have a business know this should be done on their end. The prompt arrival and service was great, food was delicious and the serving staff was friendly and clean!!! Would hire them again in a minute.

I was very excited to try this place for my husbands birthday; unfortunately, after I called and emailed for availability and a quote, there was no response. I suspect they are too busy and don’t need the business… This is the 3^rd company that I tried. I am thinking you need to book or call with months of advance notice or have a party large enough to get a response…

Tacos El Compa!!! by far the best tasting tacos north of the border… The catering Staff is friendly and accommodating. They show up on time and deliver what you ask for. The quality meats and marinades are next to none. Hugo the owner is great to work with. Tacos El Compa just opened their taqueria in South San Jose off of Blossom Hill and Coniston (in the same parking lot of the Burger Pit and the Right Stuff) There they make hand made tortillas for all their tacos and trust me they are delicious. Everything on the menu is awesome. give them a try. I highly recommend stopping by.

LOVE Tacos El Compa! I hired them for my husbands 40^th birthday fiesta and they were amazing! Professional, organized, punctual, friendly and the food was delicious! Hugo and his team was so easy to work with. I will definitely be using them again in the future!

We hired tacos el compa for my baby shower tacos were delicious The catering crew arrived early witch was perfect and they were very professional in catering and had a professional set up food display and appearance they brought everything that we agreed on and made it a good party I would definitely recommend if you like Mexican tacos and good customer service five stars awesome service.

Awesome!!! Hired these guys for my holiday party and they far exceeded our expectations! Food was great and our guests loved it! Hugo was very professional and easy to work with. Humberto the Taco Chef made perfect tacos to order that were delicious. Will definitely try to book for our next event!

Just had a birthday party for my two boys and these guys were excellent! Everyone loved the food, they were on time, friendly, all around great experience. There were probably around 80 – 90 people including kids and a good portion of them are vegetarian. Many of my guests plan on using them in the future. Would definitely recommend them!

What can I say? These guys are the best. Although I’m not Latino, my wife is, and we have hired Tacos El Compa 5+ times. Most recently, we asked them to trek out to Half Moon Bay for our son’s first birthday party. They showed up early, and stayed a little longer than planned. Their crew is friendly, professional, and the food is great.
Thank you Hugo. Your team is the best.

We scheduled Tacos El Campo for our baby shower of 40 people.
Hugo was always professional, and was straight-​up on what they would provide. We communicated during the planning through email and the phone. I sent in a $ 50 deposit and got a final logistics confirmation call on the Tuesday before the event.
They showed up 15 minutes early, was ready to go when guests arrived. There was one guy making the tacos, and he was very cordial and professional. Everyone thought his customer service was superb. The food was great, and the leftovers were a treat.
I would definitely schedule Hugo again for catering, just for peace of mind and his professionalism.

We recently hired them for two events (kids bday and school fundraiser) and at both events they were a huge crowd pleaser. Hugo and his staff were punctual, friendly and cooked up some awesome tacos. Would highly recommend them again!

I hired Tacos El Compa for my fiancés surprise graduation party because he loves street tacos & Mexican food. I only planned the party about a month before and was having a hard time finding a taco company who would even call me back or not charge an arm and a leg! I found Tacos El Compa here on Unilocal and called Hugo, I got same day response, information, pricing and he was available for my desired date.
Any and all questions I had were answered. Even when some came up he was available via email or phone fast.
Set up was quick and organized. food was DELICIOUS. Compliments from all guests during and after the party. The cooks were funny and personable with all of our guests. We had more than enough food and even had leftovers which we were able to keep. I was concerned about not having enough, but Hugo reassured me this was never the case and he was right!
Overall, I was thoroughly pleased with the service from start to finish, the setup/​presentation and the FOOD most importantly! I will definitely be hiring them again for our parties. Guests were even asking for his info for their parties!
Thank you Tacos El Campo for such a great experience, food and making the entire process seamless!!!

This company just catered my big company party (100+ people) and did a FANTASTIC job! Their service is beyond excellent and their food is to die for… I already have people emailing me to ask who this company is! I highly recommend these guys, you won’t regret it :)

These guys were awesome! I was worried, of course, because I had never hosted a party with a taco caterer! But they were responsive by phone and email, they showed up on time, they were organized and set up witching about 20 minutes, they were super friendly, polite to our guests, helpful, they refreshed the beans and rice several times, etc. the food was awesome! Everyone commented on how good it was. I ordered for 75 and only 70 showed up and we had ALOT of leftovers. These nice guys boxed and bagged up the leftovers for us and we’ve been eating it for two days! (Bring your own ziplock bags for leftovers). Also, they provide alot of condiments but you will need to stop at Costco for cheese, guacamole, sour cream, chips). This was communicated up front do there weren’t any surprises which was nice.
These guys were great! I will be using them again for sure!

I was beyond pleased with the service am quality of tacos for a 50^th birthday party. Arrived early to drop off cart. Setup and ready to go at the right time. Very courteous with my family and friends.
I was looking for something different and this was it!!!
As an educator and business operator this service and friendliness was spot on. Thank you and I will be using your service again!!! Feel free to contact me as a reference.

Lo mejor de todo. La comida el servicio todo lo mejor. Hugo Chuy son buen personas. Son bien ocupados los recomendo

I booked Tacos El Compa for my daughter’s 1^st Fiesta themed party. Hugo was always polite over email and phone but always failed to remember who or what party I was calling for. I later realized, when he personally didn’t show up, that he probably has back to back parties lined up. A few things I highly disliked:
–They showed up late, and by they, I mean two young guys that work for Hugo. He failed to mention he wouldn’t be catering the party.
–The meat was in containers already cooked. Hugo failed to mention until a week before (only because I called to confirm) that they do NOT grill/​cook in person. For what I paid I could have cooked myself the night before and microwaved everything before the party. Assuming they didn’t do this.
–They falsely advertise on their website. The pictures are not what you get. Instead I got 2 guys just warming up tortillas and slapping «warm» pre-​cooked meat. No grilling. No cooking. No yummy asada aroma filling the air. Nothing. Nada. Killed my fiesta theme.
I paid $ 580 for 60 people for tacos, quesadillas, and 1 agua fresca. I should have just gone with Chipotle :/​
2 stars for salsa table set-​up, and wrapping up left overs.

I should start off by saying that I contacted three taco vendors, that were highly recommended on Unilocal,just before the Cinco de Mayo weekend. So I knew that I would not be getting quick responses. Yet, Hugo from El Compa called me back within an hour. I waited until after the Cinco de Mayo weekend and didn’t get any responses. So Hugo ended up being our guy. It had to be a sign from the man upstairs because his professionalism, and time management was uncanny. Plus, all of my colleagues loved the tacos. I got major props for hiring the caterer. Thanks Hugo!!! We ordered the chicken, beef and pork (that had a hint of pineapple). Each taco flavor was better than the last. I can’t wait to have their tacos again. Looking forward to the next opportunity!!!
I’m getting married in August, so I’m already trying to figure out how or where his catering can be a part of it, maybe the Welcome Party or Sunday «Brunch, or Bachelorette party. Thanks Hugo! You’ll be hearing from me again!!!
