Excuse me, but how can people not hate you if you don’t even RETURN calls to tell people there are problems? These people have every right to be pissed, YOU RUINED A SPECIAL DAY FOR THEM. It’s not just the lost money, it’s the lack of consideration, the multiple mistakes, and “apologies aside?” No, those should be forefront. These people did what was needed to conduct a business deal, you should have done what was need to not sever future business possibilities and referrals.

That’s my suggestion.

Mario Melendez, the owner of Rasta Taco is a crook and a very shady character. I gave him a $2000 deposit a year ago for a reunion that was to take place last month. No call, no show and his ex partners speak of fraudulant internal affairs.
I WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO STEER CLEAR OF HIM AND RASTA TACO UNTIL I KNOW THAT CROOKED MAN PAYS EVERYONE OF US BACK!

Wow! I think I just figured out why nobody from rasta taco is getting back to me about the catering I paid for over a year ago for my wedding next month! Holy crap, I think I better figure out another game plan, I knew this would effin happen. Thanks to all of you for posting your nightmares, hopefully I have time to find someone else to take their place. As for getting back my deposit, has anyone been successful???

I have filed a complaint with Better Business Bureau. Easy to do on line and I suggest everyone else do the same. Maybe we should all show up at their business at the same time and ask for resolution.

The day of my daughters party, they out sourced the catering to a guy who was late, spoke no english, and did not have all the food and the margarita machine I had ordered. They guy only stayed half the time he was suppose to. Trying to get in touch with the owner, Mario, and he is avoiding me. I have left a dozen voicemails on Mario’s cell and have emailed him, as well. I am owed a refund, for the food and drinks I paid for that did not show up. Do not know if I will ever get the money back. Shame on him. Very bad business.

I used them to cater an event and they out sourced the catering with another company who only stayed for half of the time I paid for and did not provide the items that I ordered and paid for in advance. I emailed and called the owner and have heard nothing back! Additionally, my credit card was over charged by $300. I would NEVER recommend Rasta Taco for catering.

****this is a joke****
OH YEAH???!! Just wait until your family reunion, when they show up 2 hours late, in a VW bus with skunky clouds billowing out the windows, then the server in the buffet line whispers “doses, ganja-goo-balls, molly…” as old people and children shuffle by. Then you catch your daughter making out with one of their crusty friends in the VWbus, and now she says she’s in love with him and their going on ratdog tour. DAMN YOU RASTA TACOS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wait until they call two hours before your wedding reception and say they won’t be able to make it. A month later they still have given me my $1,000 refund. No business sense, lied about vehicles involved in an accident. No one should deal with this company!

Scheduled and paid for catering service and none showed up. They called 3 hours before the party and cancelled, had problems with the company. I understand stuff happens but you don’t leave you customer hanging 3 hours before the party without food!!! No matter what you have to make it happen…refund takes forever too…very very bad business
