Fountain Valley Catering
We cook tacos at back yard birthdays, quinceañeras, graduation parties, banquets and weekday office lunches around Fountain Valley. Our crew brings the grill, cooks at your event, and cleans up before they leave.
Fountain Valley is houses with yards, each of them near a park, and the parties follow from that. Birthdays, christenings and baptisms, graduation parties, quinceañeras and family reunions, out in the back yard or at the park a few streets away, with a few dozen relatives to feed. We cater all of those, and none of them is a complicated booking.
We also cook at the bigger family occasions, the engagement parties, wedding receptions and milestone birthdays that fill a hall rather than a yard. A couple of hundred guests is well within what we cater, and the difference on the day is more food and more cooks on the grill.
Then there are the lunches. There is a lot of medical and office work in this city, and a staff lunch, a shift meal or a department holiday party runs on a tighter clock than a weekend party does. If your people get forty minutes, say so, and we will have food going out the moment they walk over.
What all of those have in common is that your guests order for themselves. They come up to the station, tell the cook what they want, and watch the plate get made. Nobody has to collect everyone's preferences beforehand, which is the part that gets difficult when the guest list runs across three generations.
Taco bar, taco guys and taco cart are three names for this same service.
Our cooks stay for the whole of your service window. The grill does not go off partway through the afternoon.
We top the toppings and salsas up as people come through, so your last guest in the line sees the same spread as your first.
Everything arrives with us and leaves with us. Nothing is left behind for you to store, return or wash.
They go on the grill when the order is made rather than ahead of time, so they are still soft by the time the plate reaches a table.
We do not cook any heat into the meat. The salsas sit at the end of the line, so your guests take as much or as little as they want.
It is on the line with everything else from the start. Nobody has to ask for it or wait while it is made.
We set the toppings out along the line and label them, which keeps people moving and saves them asking what is in each one.
You will not be topping anything up, carrying trays out or washing anything afterward. That part is ours.
If food waits until after the speeches, or goes out in two rounds because the office empties in shifts, tell us and we will plan it that way.
The crew gets to you before your start time and sets the serving line up wherever you point. The grill is hot before your guests are ready to eat, and we do not need to use your kitchen for any of it.
Then they cook and serve for the hours you booked. Somebody who turns up an hour late gets the same food your first guest got, because the cooking is still going.
When service finishes they take the station apart, clean up the area they worked in and load everything back out.
Taco catering usually costs somewhere between about $15 and $30 a guest. Smaller parties tend to work out higher per person than larger ones, because a crew and a station turn up either way.
What you pay depends on how many people you are feeding, which proteins you choose, whether you want sides or drinks alongside them, and how long you want us serving for. Send those details through and we will confirm the exact total with you.
What happens between your first message and the day itself.
Send the date, the start time, roughly how many people are coming and what you are celebrating. If there are small children, vegetarians or anyone who wants it properly hot, mention them too.
We go through the proteins and the toppings with you, and anything your guests need us to work around.
We settle what time the crew arrives and how long they serve for, so food is going out when you want people eating.
You get the menu, the timings and the total before the day, so there is nothing left to work out when the crew pulls up.
Send us your date and we will come back to you on whether we have a crew free for it.
We cater across the city, at houses, parks and halls.
We cook at houses right across the tracts that run between the parks, and at the neighborhood parks themselves, at Courreges, Heritage, La Capilla and Helm. Company picnics over at Mile Square work the same way, and so does a party in a hall rather than a yard.
Which part of the city you are in makes no difference to what you pay, whether that is near the Civic Center, down in Southpark or out at Founders Village. What you pay comes down to how many guests you are feeding and how long you want us there.
We also cover Midway City, Westminster, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Newport Beach, Sunset Beach, Stanton and Irvine.
Tell us roughly how many guests you are expecting and what the occasion is. We will put a menu together for it and tell you what it will cost.

One guest asks for a plain plate for a seven-year-old. The next one wants every salsa you have. We serve both of them off the same line, and neither of them had to order anything special to get it.
