The Origin Story

Born from a Tiki Bar. Built for Events.

Taco 'Bout BBQ started at a tiki bar in Geneva, NY, where pitmaster Ryan Desain turned a pop-up kitchen into a full-blown following. The smoker fired up lakeside, the tacos flew out, and the crowds kept coming back.

That pop-up energy is still the foundation. We're not a restaurant that added catering to the menu. We were built to show up where the party is, set up, and feed every guest at the table.

The Signature Dish

Korean BBQ Pulled Pork Tacos

Slow-smoked pulled pork on a warm flour tortilla, smothered in house Korean BBQ sauce and topped with spicy slaw. Sweet, smoky, and just enough heat to keep you reaching for the next one.

It's the dish that started conversations at the tiki bar, and it's still the one people ask about first. You won't find this combination at any other caterer in the Finger Lakes.

Even 'meh' BBQ is delicious. Quality BBQ at a wedding? Your guests will never stop talking about it.
r/weddingplanning

BBQ at events has an 8:1 ratio of enthusiastic endorsement to skepticism — and the skepticism is about logistics, not quality.

"We hired Taco 'Bout BBQ for our event and the food was a hit. Ryan showed up on time, the setup was professional, and every guest went back for seconds. This is real BBQ — not reheated catering food."
