The Tacos Don Jorge staff were such a pleasure to work with for our reception, everything was delicious and beautifully prepared and presented. Our guests loved all the food (even the vegan options!!) and we did too! They arrived right on time, were great with communication and answering questions ahead of time about details for our food intolerance/allergy guests which was really amazing. Would definitely work with them again for any large gatherings we have in the future!!

I can't express how thrilled we are with the taco catering service we had at our wedding! From the moment we started planning, they were incredibly professional and attentive to every detail. And the food! Oh, the food! It was absolutely delicious. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the tacos, saying they were the best they'd ever had. Each taco tasted amazing, the tortillas were fresh, and the salsas were simply perfect. But it wasn't just the exceptional food; the service was top-notch. The staff was friendly, efficient, and made sure all our guests were well taken care of. They made our wedding even more special! If you're looking for a taco caterer for your wedding or any other event, look no further! These guys are the absolute best! We recommend them 100%!"

DELICIOUS TACOS & SERVICE! TDJ was such a hit at our wedding! Not one guest complained about the food! They actually kept telling us how many times they went back for more. The staff who helped serve our guests were so incredible, sweet, efficient, and professional. Our guest count was 190 and they had everyone with food in less than an hour! Our coordinator was worried with our high guest count but TDJ knocked it out of the park! I’m still dreaming about those tacos & nopal salad

We had Tacos Don Jorge cater our wedding in October and they were amazing! I loved the variety of options they had for everything including appetizers, taco fillings, different dietary restrictions (some of my family is vegan and they had lots to eat still). The food was delicious, I still have guests telling me how good it was! The staff were so great too, they made a point to come to mine and my now-husband’s table to bring us food and check on us. I really liked the way they decorated and set up the tables too, it was very elegant and looked really nice. The price was totally reasonable as well. Would definitely recommend!

10/10 would recommend them! I found them after our first caterer fell through, and I’m so glad I did! Not only was the food completely amazing (some of the best green salsa I’ve ever had!), they were great to communicate with and very responsive! We came from out of state and they reassured me with my obsessive planning the entire way. They were so nice, and easy to work with. The price is great for the amount of food you get. Everything is tasty and so fresh. Just overall these guys are wonderful!!

Wow! They went above and beyond! The food was so good! What I was so impressed by were all the options for meats, appetizers, sides and even desserts. Plus, they decorate their tables to match your wedding. It looked so cute. Besides the amazing tacos, my guests loved the strawberry lemonade!! I’m fact one of my guests asked for the recipe! The plates, silverware and napkins were all let of the package. They were a very nice quality (plastic). I can’t say enough good things! I can’t wait for the next party to use them again!

Vendor was very friendly and informative. He offered a free tasting to endure we enjoyed the food. It was a big hit at our wedding. Several guests came up to us and told us how much they were a good choice. Also, they came to our table multiple times making sure we had enough food and drink. Very attentive and sweet.

Sarah Y

4/30/2023

While the food was delicious, I was embarrassed to find out that an entire table did not get food. They ran out of food despite us paying for everyone to receive 4 tacos. Who doesn’t bring enough food when catering for a wedding? Also, we reached out to them about this and no response. I am mortified that 10 people that I know of didn’t get any food. Please be aware of this company before booking.

I highly recommend Tacos Don Jorge! They came early to set up, cooked the tortillas on site, and the food was DECLICIOUS. I will definitely use their services again and highly recommend them for catering.

Tacos Don Jorge were super accommodating throughout the entire process. They made us a delicious meal in their home for our tasting a year out from the wedding, which made us feel like we would be well taken care of on our wedding day. We were able to work with them to find the best menu option for our preferences and guests with special food accommodations. We loved the food day of and have heard nothing but good things from our guests who loved the tacos!

Amber S

These tacos were AMAZING! They have so many choices of what to pick from, from appetizers, meat for tacos, and agua fresca. We had to postpone the wedding for a year due to the pandemic and they worked with me and had zero issues. They were always very responsive and professional. Overall, we were so so happy with our experience and so were all our guests! Got so many compliments!

Amazing! From food tasting to the our wedding day, Tacos Don Jorge was excellent! Food tasting took place in the owners home and the food tasted like a home cooked meal. All the employees were so respected full and wanted to be sure we got exactly what we wanted. All of our guests complimented the food during dinner especially their cooked meat and hand made tortillas. I would recommend Tacos Don Jorge to anyone as they are professional, food experts, and cost effective!

Everyone at my wedding couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the tacos were. I had a small wedding at my mother in laws estate outside of Temecula. They arrived when they said and cooked the tortillas fresh! As soon as they started my mouth was salivating with the aroma. A must have! Their pricing is as amazing as the food. Super affordable and delicious. If I ever have an event again, I will be using Don Jorge tacos!

UNBELIEVABLE TACOS!!! Simply the best tacos (and horchata) I have ever had. From the start, they were super responsive and professional. At first we were unsure as the tasting was at someone's house. But then we were greeted with tons of amazing food and we felt very welcomed. The prices were the best I found and we had tons of leftover food. My guests couldn't stop talking about how great the food was and how neat it was they cooked everything in front of them. Perfect taste of San Diego, very authentic and super delicious.
