Our service provides food for the head count that you determine. If you believe that the kids are so young that they will not be eating-do not count them in your head count. Further, if you have children that will eat half as much as an adult-count them as a half person (20 kids=Headcount of 10).

About Us


A message from GUAC TACO Founder - Bill Graw
​​
25 years ago, I got married in my backyard and had to provide everything from food to music. What if one of the people I hired did a poor job, or worse, failed to show up at all? Fortunately, I did my homework and hired the best. The phrase 'you get what you pay for' was what got me throught it.
The concept for Guac Taco is simple: Provide the experience of eating an authentic "Street Taco" on a corner with the overall reliability of a fine restaurant.
Being the Owner/Operator of the award-winning El Gringo Mexican Restaurant chain with over 25 years of experience in the South Bay certainly has its advantages. Unlike other operations, Guac Taco is a full-time catering service with high-quality ingredients, professional staff, fully licensed, insured, and health department certified.
I am using my assets to provide you with great Taco Catering experience for your next event.
Great Food, Great Service, and Peace of Mind.

HAD TO STOP BY YOUR RESTAURANT EL GRINGO
Thank you so much for providing such wonderful food. Everyone just raved about it. It was so good that the honoree, John didn’t get to eat. He was so busy talking to everyone he didn’t get a chance to eat. So, we stopped by your restaurant El Gringo on Saturday so he could get his fill of your tacos.

YOU MADE EVERYTHING EASY
Hi Bill! I can’t thank you enough for your catering service, it was really great & everyone enjoyed it immensely. You have a lot of “word of mouth” advertising coming your way. You made everything so easy, and that it much appreciated as well. Bill the cook was great; we all had a great time chatting with him. Again, thank you.
