Tacos aren’t just a food trend in Los Angeles — they’re a staple of great events. From weddings and backyard birthdays to corporate lunches and film sets, taco catering offers flavor, variety, and fun that few other options can match.
With so many taco catering services available, the challenge isn’t finding one — it’s finding one that delivers an experience worth remembering.
Why Tacos Are Always a Good Idea
Tacos work for almost any crowd. Guests can customize their plate, choose their fillings, and top everything just the way they like it. Whether it’s carne asada with spicy salsa or grilled veggies with guacamole, everyone walks away satisfied. They’re also fast to serve, easy to eat, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for all ages and dietary needs.

What Makes a Taco Catering Experience Stand Out?
Not all taco catering services are created equal. Here’s what separates an ordinary taco table from an event favorite:
Fresh Ingredients Cooked on Location
Pre-made taco trays lose their appeal fast. Guests want to see the food grilled fresh, tortillas warmed on the spot, and toppings prepared just before serving. That freshness makes a real difference in both flavor and experience.
Bold, Authentic Flavors
MCP Catering brings the flavors of Mexico to your event with tacos made from scratch and seasoned with tradition. Popular choices include:
-
Carne Asada – Marinated, grilled steak
-
Pollo Asado – Juicy, seasoned grilled chicken
-
Al Pastor – Pork with a sweet-spicy pineapple kick
-
Vegetarian Options – Grilled seasonal vegetables
Each taco is built on soft corn tortillas and paired with classic toppings: onions, cilantro, lime wedges, guacamole sauce, and both red and green salsas.
Smooth, Professional Setup
Events run better when the food setup is clean, well-staffed, and on schedule. A professional taco catering team ensures the experience is enjoyable, not chaotic — so guests spend more time eating and less time waiting.
The Best Events for Taco Catering
Taco bars fit into almost any type of gathering. Some of the most common events include:
-
Weddings and rehearsal dinners
-
Corporate lunches and office celebrations
-
Birthday parties and anniversaries
-
Backyard cookouts and graduation parties
-
Film and TV production catering
Whether you’re feeding 40 or 400, taco catering scales beautifully — and adds personality to the event.
Why L.A. Loves the Taco Bar Setup
In Los Angeles, tacos aren’t just popular — they’re expected. This city is built on incredible street food culture, and tacos lead the way. Guests love the smoky aroma of fresh meat on the grill, the build-your-own style setup, and the casual, social vibe it brings to the room. A well-executed taco bar isn’t just a meal — it’s part of the experience.
