Midway City Catering
We cook tacos at Midway City quinceañeras, baptisms, first communions, graduations and family birthdays, in the yard or on the driveway. Everything comes with the crew and leaves with them.
The big family occasions are what gets booked here: quinceañeras, baptisms, first communions, graduations and the birthdays where three generations turn up. Long guest lists, and almost always at home.
That last part is not a preference, it is how this community is built. There is no community center in Midway City to book, so a party either happens at the house or it travels to a hall in a neighboring city. If you are keeping it at home, the food has to come in and be served there, which is exactly the job we do.
Yards here are not large and plenty of the housing is older or mobile homes, so the party spreads into the driveway or a shared space rather than staying on a lawn. That suits us. We work off a counter we bring and need no kitchen, so a driveway is as good to us as anything.
The other thing worth telling us is the number. A hundred and fifty guests gets more cooks than fifty does, and that staffing is what decides whether people are served steadily or stood waiting.
Three of these are names for the same service. You may have searched any of them.

The spread in front of them, topped up through the service so it never looks picked over.
The cart, sized for a driveway rather than a banquet room.
We put extra hands on for a big count, which is why a long line keeps shifting rather than jamming.
We cook nothing hot. The salsas are set out separately so each guest chooses.
It sits out with the rest of them, so no guest has to make a request of anybody.
Reckon on about $15 to $30 a guest. A long guest list works out lower per head than a short one, since the crew and the counter are the same trip whatever the number.
Inside that it follows how many you are feeding, how many proteins you want, whether you add sides or drinks, and the hours of service. Send those and we will confirm a total.
Three stages, and only the first needs anything from you.
Your date, the hour it starts, a guest estimate, the occasion, and whether we are working off a yard, a driveway or a shared space.
The menu, the arrival time, the length of service and the cost, all decided together and sent to you in writing.
The crew is ready before guests arrive, works through your hours, then loads out and leaves the spot clean.
The whole community, house by house.
This is a small grid of residential streets, so the list is short: we cater throughout it, at houses, on driveways and in the shared spaces of the mobile home parks.
The address is not part of the quote. Guest numbers and serving hours set that. And if the party has ended up in a hall outside the community, we work those cities too, so just tell us where it landed.
We also cover Westminster, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Stanton, Leisure World, Sunset Beach, Cypress, Huntington Beach, Rossmoor and Los Alamitos.

A hundred and fifty guests, one counter, and nobody waiting on a tray to be refilled. They come up when they are ready, say what they want, and the cook makes it in front of them.
