Incredibly lean and tender Carne Asada.
Richard cut up extra limes for our beer....oh, and those salsas were as good as everyone else says.
Richard also make a delicious homemade guacamole!! The perfect accompaniment to his awesome tacos!
Pollo Asada smelled so good on the grill.
All of the fixings and sides tasted so fresh
South bay tacos
Beef and chicken - yummy
Chicken, Carne Asada, Carnitas, Grilled Onions, Beans, Rice, and Cheese Quesadillas for the kids. Richard does it all!
Great guacamole and salsa
To die for enchiladas and taco fixings

We hired Richard to cater our neighborhood Halloween party and he made it memorable. The food was incredible and the variety of what he made fed (over and over again) 50+ people. Richard's friendly and easygoing personality made him an absolute pleasure to have around. He interacted with guests and made sure everyone had a full belly. The carnitas tacos were amongst the best I've ever had, and pulled apart with no effort at all. We've hosted quite a few parties, and have used several different taco caterers.... no need to look for another. We cannot wait to hire South Bay Tacos again!!

Best tacos ever, made by the BEST guy ever!There were 75 happy people at my house last Sunday, thanks to Richard and his tacos. Service *****With Richard you get not only great food but a guy who really cares that you and your guests have a good time. He is NOT that taco guy who just cooks and leaves. Richard will do anything within his power to help you and to ensure your party is a success. Richard was at my house by 11am to setup and to ensure food would be ready at 1pm when the party started. He also stayed well past the time when he was finished cooking.Food *****In one word FANTASTIC. Most of my guests commented that Richard's tacos were the best tacos they had ever eaten! There was lot of fresh and homemade condiments along with plenty of guacamole! We had Chicken, Carne Asada and Carnitas tacos. Its hard to pick which one was best, if pressed, I'd have to vote for the Carnitas. All three meats were tender and well seasoned and cooked up fresh on site (except the carnitas which was roasted for 14 hours). Several of my friends are vegetarian so Richard made sure there was plenty of sauted onions and red/yellow bell peppers. Presentation *****The food tables were setup for optimum flow and overall food presentation was extremely appetizing!Things I liked BEST* Booking was easy peasy* Richard's flexibility* The food :) * Richard's personality* Lots of guacamoleIf you ever think you would like tacos at your next party, give Richard a call; you will be glad you did!

We hired South Bay Tacos for my husband's 40th Birthday and we are so happy we did! We got many compliments on the food that night from our guests. Everything was super fresh and tasty and he made tons of food for us. I also want to mention what a delight Richard is to work with! He's very easygoing and friendly. He took custom requests from our guests and was more than happy to accommodate them! I would definitely hire him again and can't recommend him enough!!

Richard is just amazing!!! He catered my engagement party last night and wow is he professional and kind. He showed up 2 hours early to set up and stayed all night. Many other tacos guys will just stay an hour and a half! His prices are so reasonable and the food is amazing. He even brought homemade guacamole and authentic cotija cheese! Stop searching and book him now!!

South Bay Tacos was a hit! We hired Richard for my Dad's 70th Birthday with about 40 guest. The food was amazing and the carnitas was literally the best that I've ever had. He cooked a ton of food, so we had leftovers for dinner and breakfast the next day. Richard is super friendly, laid back and overall great guy. Can't thank him enough!

We have now hired Richard three times for parties at our house and have referred him to our friends as well. The food is always top notch, some of the best carnitas I have ever had, for sure. Love the homemade guacamole as well! But beside the awesome food, Richard is just a great guy! He sets up perfect, always says "hello" to all the guests, helps them understand all the food and salsas and is just a fun guy to have at your party. So to summarize:1) Great food, fresh toppings2) Professional set up and service3) Great service and experience!This is our go to guy for large parties and catering events, for sure!

I was at a corporate event South Bay Tacos serviced, and the food was absolutely delicious! The staff were very professional and attentive to a crowd of about 200 people. I definitely recommend them to cater your event.

Richard is hands down the best caterer around. His food is homemade, delicious, and I'm pretty sure he is the most positive, encouraging, and most fun person I've ever met. He has such passion for his food - a shout out to his 18 hour cooked carnitas!He is literally California sunshine in a person and way cooler than most of us will ever be. You may think I'm exaggerating until you actually meet him.Can't wait for the next taco party!
