About Tres Amigos Catering
Tacos are what people line up for, and I won't pretend that's a surprise. I run a truck that does tacos, burgers, and straightforward American plates, and we show up to events ready to feed a crowd. I serve boxed lunches for meetings and on-site service for events, so you get a tidy meal or a full taco bar without chasing us down. We keep choices simple but deliberate, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, and dairy-free options clearly marked so hosts can relax. People tell me they like short lines and honest portions, not gimmicks. I cook to move a crowd, not to win awards. If you need something handheld for a crew or plated boxes for a conference, I can handle it. I’m minority-owned and I run the operation with practical expectations, clean service, and the kind of pace that comes with doing this a lot. Book us for a lunch service, a company picnic, or a backyard party and expect food that arrives hot, served fast, and doesn’t overcomplicate the day.
Meet the owner
Richard Apalategui
Owner, Tres Amigos Catering
I spent more than 15 years working in restaurants before I put a truck on the street. I learned every job you can do in a kitchen. I cook, I plate, I take orders, I fix the fryer when it breaks. I opened Tres Amigos Catering in Irvine because I wanted to bring those years of hands-on experience to events and neighborhood gatherings. My name is Richard Apalategui and I run the truck every week. I work with small local suppliers when I can. I like feeding groups who need reliable, straightforward service. I show up early, keep things moving, and stay until the last plate is cleaned.

When to Book
The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.
That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.
Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Riverside, so booking early gives you the best selection.
