Fiesta Taco Party-Catering & Events

Horrible service, I would not recommend this taco catering to anyone, the owner was late an hour, he promised to have food ready when he got there but that did not happen. Moreover, he was drinking our alcohol on his own and kept engaging with the young ladies at the party after repeatedly telling him to keep stop and to keep it professional. Be aware of what you are getting.

***Fraudulent business**I'd give zero stars if I could. I booked Fiesta Taco Party with Tony off of a friends recommendation and I ignored the negative reviews. Tony has a history of taking peoples money and not showing up to peoples' events. Like everyone has said, pay the extra money, and get an honest person to work for you. I have no idea how Tony has any self respect after what he has done to so many people.I booked with Tony for my engagement party 2-3 weeks before the event, he was slow to respond, but I got a work order/invoice for everything. It sounded too good to be true for the price and it was. Throughout the weeks Tony was not consistent with his communication, but would eventually come through. I paid a $100 deposit to secure the date and he told me everything was good. I had to redo it later because he gave me the wrong email, I got my money back, and had to do it all over again. He said he'd throw in free esquites for the trouble, great. In the contract/agreement I'd pay the rest the day of the event. Throughout the weeks until the event Tony had his details messed up, that I had to correct him multiple times, and sent me the wrong customers info. Whatever, as long as he shows up.So this is where my nightmare begins. On the morning of the event I double check with Tony, sent the rest of the payment, and he said we were good with everything. It was a really busy day for me with the party, so I had other things on my mind. I check with him around 1 pm to verify he'd be there around 5:30 to be ready to serve at 6:30. No response, I text/call him at 5:42, and still no response. I get a call from a different number and it's his son Adrian. He said there was an emergency with the chef and they are on their way and would be there in 10-15 minutes. He said they meant to call earlier to ask if they could push it back an hour, which no one called me. No one shows up and I call Adrian again around 6:22 because Tony will not answer his phone. Adrian said he'd call Tony and get back to me. I never heard back from Adrian again. I text Tony around 6:48 saying if there aren't there at 7 we're getting food from elsewhere. We were over it, my fiancé is crying, and our 30 guests are hungry. We'd still take them if they show up. Tony then calls me so he can clearly see my texts. Blabbering, stuttering, and sounding frantic. Trying to give me a bunch of bs excuses, saying they were on their way, and their 20 minutes away. He said he can't tell me his ETA, says he's in LB, says he's in Hawaiian Gardens, and nothing I'm being told is consistent. 20 minutes pass buy and he then texts me saying they took a wrong turn and it'll take them 24 minutes. Mind you he said it would take 30 minutes to set up and another 30 to cook. So no one would be eating until 8:30 when he was supposed to serve my guests at 6:30. Thank God we have great friends who took everyone's orders for In N Out and we had to scramble for that instead. Tony then says he's having an issue with his driver and they'll be even later. He said he'd refund me and do something to make up for it. But he's just pushing another lie like he always is. Dude never even showed up and single-handedly ruined our engagement party for my fiancé and I. Don't waste your time, money, or energy on Tony. He has zero integrity and can't believe he told me after the fact that he stands by his work. No communication, lies, ruins events, and takes your money. Everyone should stay far away from Tony and Taco Fiesta Party. Pay some extra money for a legitimate business and honest person to cater an event for you.

Okay...so hear me out. I was VERY VERY apprehensive to hire this company after reading these reviews. VERY apprehensive. And I knew I was taking a HUGE risk hiring them. But I saw the price and I thought to myself "Well...I can always order pizzas if it doesn't work out".It's literally so cheap. The initial conversation also made me uncomfortable as it was hard to set up the contract and get everything set up for the first day. I was even able to pay on PayPal which I was going to refute the funds if they never showed (if that was the case)But after that? Everything ran smoothly. The day of my event came and I was very nervous. But lo and behold, they called me and set up was a BREEZE! I didn't have to do anything. He even ran to the store to buy me disposable pans for all the leftovers. The food was DELICIOUS and my guests enjoyed. I think with all the bad reviews maybe they were in a rough patch but now it seems like they got it together. I would definitely work with them again. Thanks Tony and Frank!

BIG FAT ZERRRRROOOO!!!!!Wish I had the option of NO STARSIt seems so tempting to save some money, but do yourself a favor and pay a little extra to have a reliable taco guy and keep searching for a different company!!!As previous potential customers have stated, Tony was a NO SHOW for a birthday party that was booked with a $100 cash deposit 5 weeks ahead of time. Menu was selected and confirmed with him several times. It often took him a day or two to respond which should have been a red flag from the start. Unfortunately, he was referred and used two times prior to our party, but we got the short end of the stick for our event. He came across as legit since he was used a few times by family and friends, and even confirmed the date and time a few days prior to the event. He DIDN'T ANSWER PHONE CALLS the day of and tried to text several hours later that he had a mixup with times...STOP WITH THE EXCUSES!!! BE ACCOUNTABLE AND PROFESSIONAL, especially when you confirmed the date and time!!! Didn't think we needed a Plan B, but definitely be prepared to have an alternative when this guy FLAKES on you. Wish we would have read these reviews prior to booking, was really looking forward to a tacos.I do have to admit, he returned the deposit a day later...it still doesn't make up for the stress and embarrassment of not having food when our guests were arriving. Had to scramble to order and pickup food for 60 guests. Also, other reviewers weren't as fortunate with a refund of the deposit.

Please beware of this taco fraud! This past weekend, my comadre and I booked him for my godson's party in Long Beach, and he was given a $100 deposit, and he was a no show. We attempted contact the day before to go over final logistics of the event, and he didn't pick up. His voicemail box was full. On the day of, we attempted to contact him with no success. It's been almost a week since he was supposed to provide his services, and our deposit has not been returned and he has not called us back. Do not support this business. No integrity and a huge lack of professionalism.

I needed catering services on a Wednesday and found this place on google the Sunday before. They promptly responded. Their services were not only amazing and tasty but well thought out with every single side you could think of or want. They were friendly and reasonably priced. I recommend 100%

I'm really surprised by some of these negative reviews. I have used Tony for 5 events so far. He has always been on time and the food and service have been perfect! He always provides plenty of food and there are always leftovers. I really like Tony and his crew.

Take your money elsewhere. Arrived two hours late and under the influence; to then leave early to go to the bar per his insta. Rice was undercooked and meat was under seasoned. Lack of cups and utensils. Was at the event for a total of two hours max to then not provide any left overs. His excuse was, "there wasn't any leftovers". The host paid for food for 60, and there were 35 in attendance. the math ain't mathin'. I have never had experience with not receiving any leftovers, especially with less guests than quoted. Had to provide our own containers for Auga fresca because he didn't have any and he took whatever was leftover. This company scams people! Taking peoples hard earned money and under delivering is sad to see. Do better.

WORSE TACO GUY EVER!! He was over an hour late, with an excuse of running out of propane. When he finally did set up, he prioritized taking his pictures before serving guests. He stayed on the phone the entire time he was serving food. For service of 60 people he arrived alone, and kept leaving the area to get more things from his truck. His food was lacking flavor, the rice was undercooked, and the menu items he posted were not available. As for vegetarian items it was grilled onions THATS IT . *making a note that the birthday girl is a vegetarian and specifically asked for something special. He left after only serving for under an hour. Myself and others left hungry, and heartbroken that my cousin paid for this service. He spoiled a very special night. This taquero really should choose a different profession, because as a taco guy HES HORRIBLE.

TLDR: This business is A SCAM! They took our payment and proceeded to never show up with any communication or explanation. This is a sad excuse for a business and are completely unprofessional. DO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY!!------------------------------Where do I even begin? We booked Fiesta Taco Party for our engagement party and it quickly became one of the worst decisions. There was a hiccup placing my deposit with the business owner and that should have been my first warning. However, that hiccup was nothing compared to the storm to come. On the day of the event, the owner and I had exchanged a check-in just making sure we were all set for this evening. The plan was for them to arrive at 5:30 PM as they needed 1 hour to set-up/prepare. Therefore, food would be ready to serve at 6:30 PM. 5:37 PM rolls around and we have not heard from them. When we contact the owner, they send us to voicemail and their voicemail box was full. No response to our texts either.Closer to 6 PM rolls around and the owner's son calls stating their chef had an emergency and they are running late. Should be there in 20 minutes. A couple phone calls were exchanged and it was now nearly 7 PM. For each phone call, they had a new excuse every single time and kept asking for more time. They couldn't even keep up with their own lies at that point as they stumbled upon an answer for their ETA. With it being 1.5 hrs from when they should've been here, we were left with no food, as well as no indication as to what time they are coming. Due to this service -- or lack thereof, we had to make the decision to take everyone's order and go to In-N-Out to feed our guests. At this point, still no contact from Fiesta Taco Party. This has been the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. Not only did they NEVER show up, but they are completely and utterly unprofessional in how they handled it. It's disgusting to think they still have not reached out to us thus far. As I am just finding their Yelp page, it baffles me to see that other people have experienced their fraudulence as well. Not only do these experiences speak volumes about this business, but it speaks to the character of the owners. LISTEN to these reviews and DO NOT BOOK THIS BUSINESS. As for the owners, Tony and Adrian -- do better.
