The checklist
Get a head count — and decide lunch or breakfast
Count everyone who will eat, not everyone invited. The price is set by head count. Lunch is the Taco Bar; an early-shift or morning party is the Breakfast Bar (breakfast burritos, French toast, eggs and potatoes), same price. Under twenty people, trays may suit better — $10 a person, 24 hours’ notice.
Pick the date and book it early
The booking form needs at least 24 hours, but Fridays and December go first — most of our holiday parties book about a month ahead. A $100 card deposit holds the date. Booking Monday–Thursday for 50+ guests? Fajita veggies are free with the Taco Bar (normally $1 a guest) — add them when you book.
Find the spot for the cart
We set up in your parking lot or yard 30–60 min before the food is ready. Ask building management which spaces you can use and when the lot is quietest. If a park is the venue, check the city’s rules for outside caterers first.
Ask the building if it needs a certificate of insurance
Many office buildings and landlords do. We provide one on request — tell us when you book, send the event name and the venue address, and give us a few days.
Choose the package
November–December, the Holiday Taco Bar adds guacamole for every guest and aguas frescas (one 5-gallon jar per 50 guests) to the regular Taco Bar. The Holiday Breakfast Bar adds orange juice and drip coffee for everyone. Prices below.
Plan the timing
Service is 2 hours, cooked to order. Staggered shifts? Add an hour ($100). One setup feeds up to 150 guests per service; for more, we bring more setups.
Budget the full total
Food + extras + travel + 8.75% tax. Travel is free within 10 miles of Placentia, then $75 to 20 miles, $125 to 30, $200 to 40 and $250 to 50. The booking form shows the exact total before you pay.
Sort out payment with accounts payable
The $100 deposit is paid by card online and comes off the total; the balance is due on the day — Cash, Zelle, Card (Square). If your AP office needs something specific, call (714) 643-4780 and we’ll tell you straight what we can do.
