Island Style Tacos

We recently used Island Style Tacos for our Wedding (Sept 2012). They came to our location in Carlsbad, CA set up and were ready making our lives so stress free and easy! Working with Mike the owner and the other staff members was a pleasure, everyone was so friendly and helpful!!!! Not to mention the pricing for their catering was great and the food was delicious!!!! We still have people telling us how much they enjoyed the food and we are looking forward to stopping by and grabbing some tacos soon!!!! Thanks guys you made everything so great for us, job well done, it was a pleasure!!!!

Hola!  Or is it, Aloha?

Either way, Island Style Tacos was just... meh.  Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon.  ordered a carnitas burrito, the ol' lady ordered a chicken burrito.  Carnitas was over cooked... mostly dry and a couple of bites were actually burned/charred.  The chicken, which I tasted, was very under seasoned.  It tasted like it had been boiled, then put straight on the burrito without any other preparation.  

Neither burrito was bad.  All of the ingredients seemed fresh and the tortillas were very good.  But, both were also layered wrong.  My burrito was half eaten by the time I got to the carnitas.  The first half was rice and cheese, then some beans.  The chicken burrito was the same way... the wifey didn't realize there was cheese on it until the final bites.

Service was friendly and we'll probably try this place again... maybe for the tacos.  The burritos, at $5.29, are way over priced.  Had they been $3.50-4.00, everything could have been forgiven.  But, at over $5, well that's Baja Fresh, Wahoo's, and Rubio's territory... so you better know what you're doing.

Island Style catered a wedding I attended recently. Excellent tacos, decent enchiladas. Great hot sauce selection.

And they did a great job with the setup, serving and cleanup.
