Why Prieto's

The only taco catering in San Diego with a real mariscos bar

Most taco caterers stop at carne asada. We bring the seafood your guests actually talk about: ceviche tostadas, shrimp and mixed seafood cocktails, crispy fish tacos and birria, alongside the street-taco classics.

  • Recipes from our own restaurants, not a generic menu
  • Cooked fresh on site from our food truck
  • Bilingual team: hablamos español
