FYI - I need them to provide the meats, tortillas, salsas, rice, beans and chopped onions/cilantro. Thanks!

Their Pastor is dynamite. Why not give them a call? Tue Nov 03 13:58:04 -0800 2009 5153016 14405 TomSwift 1 5153476 We were thrilled with Taquiza la Fiesta, they had the whole shabang including Nopalitos, cebollas asadas... great prices too... ask for Oscar 310-525-9781 --Dommy!

They are at 323-478-9572. Wed Nov 04 12:09:50 -0800 2009 5153016 13876 ickster 1 5155855 Taco Chop is good. Reasonably priced and good meat quality (626) 465-6958. They are based in Alhambra so very close to El Sereno. Ask for Ron or Felix Wed Nov 04 12:36:34 -0800 2009 5153016 14558 Ernie 1 5156690 We're having a big party at the end of the month and are using a new team instead of the one we have always used in the past. This new team provides five different choices of meat including, asada, pastor, pollo, cueritas, chorizo, alambres, rice, beans, salsa, guacamole, cebolla, cilantro and of course, tortillas. All this for the same price of our other go to team that supplied only three meats. We sampled on one occasion and everyone was happy with the food. If you're interested call: Lalo at (323)571-5040 (Spanish only) Javier at (323)633-5041 (speaks English) Wed Nov 04 17:12:34 -0800 2009 5153016 10599 Neta 1 5157018 Hope this isn't too off topic, but- I'm curious what the average pricing per person is for one of these? And what kind of minimum guarantee they usually require.. Wed Nov 04 19:33:56 -0800 2009 5153016 1111160 LATrapp 1 5159032 Thanks for all the recs.! I put in calls to all yesterday- except neta's rec., as I just saw it today. Ernie's rec. for Taco Chop called back first and they local to me, so I went w/them - plus I have enjoyed Ernie's recs. for Mexican places in the past. They are to provide: asada, al pastor & chicken tacos plus rice, beans, onion, cilantro, limes and two kinds of salsas. He said he will throw in hot dogs as well because it's a kids party. I told him there would be 50-60 people and quoted me 300.00 for all of the above. The party is on the 21st. I will report back. Dommy's rec. also sounded intriguing - nopalitos and cebollas asadas! I will try them next time. Neta, what price were you quoted? For how many people? Thanks all! Thu Nov 05 13:47:19 -0800 2009 5153016 20518 slowrider 2 5159776 Hi Slow. We're paying $550 for 150 people and that's with the five meats plus everything else I mentioned. We're having the asada, pollo asada, pastor, cueritos and chorizo. Thu Nov 05 18:46:59 -0800 2009 5159032 10599 Neta 3 5161419 For 50 people the one recommended charges 400.00 but he also throws in 5 tables, 30 chairs and a jumper... --Dommy! Fri Nov 06 11:36:12 -0800 2009 5159776 10659 Dommy 1 5160124 Looks like you've already found someone, but just for future reference, I would recommend: Sandra and Rosendo - 323-567-7445 or 323-270-5309 www.sandysfoodservice.com We've used them for two parties already and are really happy with their food and service. They do all types of meats. We especially like their carnitas. They provide the meats, tortillas, salsas, sauteed onions and peppers, rice, beans and chopped onions/cilantros. They will even make quesadillas for the kiddos at the party, if you provide the shredded cheese. They have a 50 person minimum - but that is a LOT of food. It will usually feed more than 50 people.

Sat Nov 07 19:45:36 -0800 2009 5160124 1106097 BeerLover 3 5164587 Fair enough point to bring up, and leads me to wonder if anyone actually does check. I have to admit I wouldn't even think of that when hiring a taco truck, or any other type of caterer. Does anyone actually ask? Sun Nov 08 01:35:59 -0800 2009 5164324 1111160 LATrapp
