Pavilion or backyard, we cook either way

Weekend pavilions in this city get claimed early, so a Fullerton family planning a big party either books one well ahead or keeps the whole thing at home. Both are ordinary, and we are set up for either.

What does not change is how we work. The grills, the proteins, the salsas and the cooks to run them come in together, we set up where you are, and the grills stay on while people are still coming up.

At a pavilion that matters because there is no kitchen to lean on. We arrive self-contained, and Adlena, Lemon, Valencia and the rest are all the same job to us as a backyard.

Everything is made on the spot, which is why the food is hot when it reaches people and why a guest arriving late is served the same thing as the first one through.

Service Options

Three listings, one crew

Whichever of these you searched for, this is the booking.

Taco Guys

Is the people who come out and cook, on the grills for your whole serving window.

Taco Bar Catering

Is the table itself, piled with meats, salsas and toppings and refilled through the service.

Taco Cart Catering

Strips the same setup down to fit a pavilion corner or a narrow lot in the flats.

Occasions We Serve

A flats bungalow or a house in the hills

The city splits in two for a caterer. South and west of downtown the lots are small and the households large, so a quinceañera or a first communion usually means a pavilion booking or a packed backyard. Up in the north hills there is yard space, and the parties are graduations, milestone birthdays and anniversaries at home.

The service is the same in both. We size the crew to the number of guests rather than to the property, so a tight lot with eighty people on it gets more hands than a big yard with thirty.

Hillcrest Park is worth knowing about if your guest list is big: it has the pavilion, the terrace and two halls, which is why the larger family events in this city tend to end up there. We cater at all of them.

  • ●Grills, fuel and all the cooking equipment, brought in and taken away
  • ●Proteins cooked on site, with tortillas warmed as plates are built
  • ●Salsas and cold toppings kept separate so heat stays a choice
  • ●The serving station and the crew to work it through your window
  • ●Clear-down, with the space left as we found it

Service Basics

What we take care of

From the truck arriving to the truck leaving.

No two plates alike

Everybody describes their own and watches it get made. Nobody is handed something they did not ask for.

A line that absorbs a rush

Sixty people arriving at once does not empty a station that is still cooking. We keep producing rather than putting out a fixed amount.

One menu for a wide guest list

Heat lives in the salsas rather than the meat, and a meat-free option is out from the start.

Pavilions are no harder than houses

Everything runs off gear we bring, so a site with nothing but picnic tables is a normal booking.

We pack out

Station down, everything on the truck, nothing left for you to deal with.

Pricing Guide

How Much Does Taco Catering Cost?

Reckon on about $15 to $30 a guest. The per-head figure climbs for a smaller party, since the crew and the gear do not shrink with the guest list.

What moves it from there is the proteins, whether you add sides or drinks, and the length of the service. The exact total is confirmed after a quick consultation.

From Inquiry To Wrap-Up

Answers For Hosts

What Fullerton hosts ask us

What kinds of events do you cater in Fullerton?
Quinceañeras, baptisms, first communions, birthdays, graduations, weddings and company lunches. Park pavilions, city halls and backyards are all normal bookings.
How far in advance should I book taco catering in Fullerton?
Three to six weeks out suits most dates, and longer for a wedding or a large party. If you are also booking a pavilion, send us the date as soon as the park is confirmed.
Can you cater under a park pavilion?
Yes, and it is routine. There is no kitchen at a pavilion, which is exactly why we bring everything with us.
We are expecting sixty people to arrive at once. Can you handle that?
Yes. A station that is still cooking absorbs a rush, and we set the number of cooks against the headcount you give us.
Can you fit a company lunch into a set hour?
Yes. Tell us when it opens and when it has to be finished, and we will work to that.
Can you cater for vegetarians and guests who want mild food?
Yes, off one line. A meat-free option is always out, and the chili sits in the salsas rather than the meat.
What do you need from us?
A spot to set up with clearance in front for a line. If the pavilion or hall booking has conditions attached, send those too.
Neighborhoods We Cater

Flats, hills and downtown

One crew across the whole city.

We cater all over Fullerton, from the older streets in the south and west flats up to the large-lot houses in north Fullerton, and through Golden Hill, Oceanview and the downtown district. Your address does not change the price.

We also cover Anaheim, Placentia, Brea, Buena Park, La Habra, Stanton, Yorba Linda, Garden Grove, Orange and La Palma.

Planning Ahead

Tell us the date and who is coming

Those two get us started. Add the location and your serving hours, and we will come back with a menu and a quote.

One More Thing

Why the food stops being the host's problem

At most parties somebody spends the afternoon managing the food: watching the trays, judging when to put more out, working out whether there is enough for the people still arriving.

None of that happens here. We are cooking throughout, so there is no tray to watch and no moment to judge, and the quantities are set against your headcount before the day. The host ends up with nothing to do about dinner, which is the actual thing being bought.

The Crowd Finds Its Feet

Chairs stay empty longer than anyone expects at these. People wait a moment for a plate, end up talking to whoever is beside them, and stay standing. Send the date, the place and your numbers and we will plan it.
