Food Trucks Catering That Delivers Island Vibes: Meet Rasta Taco®

Imagine this: the sun is shining, music is playing, and the scent of sizzling Jamaican Jerk Chicken is drifting through the air. Your guests are laughing, drinks in hand, as they gather around a vibrant taco truck decked out in island colors. This isn’t just catering — this is food trucks catering done the Rasta Taco® way.

Born from a poolside idea in Jamaica and rooted in the heart of California, Rasta Taco® is changing the game when it comes to mobile dining experiences. Our food trucks catering service brings a bold, feel-good flavor to your event — wherever it may be.

From Island Dream to SoCal Streets

Back in the early 2000s, our founder Mario “Maji” Melendez scribbled the beginnings of Rasta Taco on a napkin in Jamaica. Rolls today through Southern California as a mobile Mexican-Jamaican fusion taco truck, serving not just tacos, but the complete vibes at any event-from weddings in Palm Springs to birthdays in Long Beach. Our food trucks catering creates memories for people long after the last bite has been consumed.
