Incredible Taco Bar experience!

El Tapatio's taco bar was hands-down the best choice we could have made for our wedding. The food was excellent - we had numerous guests tell us after the event that the food was delicious and so cool to see the caterers hand-making the tortillas on the back patio. The food options also allow flexibility with numerous food allergies, as we had gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan guests, as well as a few guests with other allergies (including some very picky eaters...) and the taco bar accommodated all of them. Carolina was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and everything went off without a hitch. El Tapatio also provided all linens and napkins as well as champagne flutes - made everything super easy for us. And all this at a very reasonable price - we couldn't be happier!

March Wedding

Thank you to Carolina, Carla and the El Tapatio team they all did a fantastic job making our big day run beautifully! They made all of our requests come to life with no worries.

We wanted to make sure our guests left full and they delivered! We had a variety of charcuterie boards as apps, buffet style dinner, churros and crepes carts for dessert, hot coffee, and their taco truck as a late night snack. All was provided by El Tapatio catering. They have everything in house making our experience so easy. Overall, we were more than satisfied with the service provided before, during, and after our wedding!

Thank you!

Great REAL Mexican food

We hired El Tapitio for our wedding and they did a fantastic job. The food was great! Only thing I would say is to not hold out on the bussing service, we tried to save money and cut it down to I think 3 people and we really needed more for 80 guests. Overall the food was great and the employees were very sweet! They gave us exactly what we wanted and more.
