Which parties do you cater, and how big can they get?
Birthdays and baby showers are where our party reviews come from. We also cater graduations, July 4th parties and company lunches.
Parties start at 40 guests. We cooked for 400 guests at a company event in Kearny Mesa in March 2026, with four cooks. Bigger counts take more cooks, and your quote says how many.

Party taco catering questions
How much does party taco catering cost in San Diego?
It’s $14.99 per person with a 40-guest minimum. That’s a base of $599.60 for 40 guests before tax and travel. Guacamole, setup and breakdown are included.
How far ahead should I book my party date?
Weekend dates go first, and summer is the busiest stretch. We only take so many events per weekend, and once a date is gone, it’s gone. Send your date early and we’ll tell you if it’s open.
Do you cater parties outside the city of San Diego?
Yes. We cater anywhere in San Diego County, from Carlsbad and Encinitas to Chula Vista and Coronado. Temecula and Orange County are too far.
Do I get to pick the meats?
Yes. You choose two proteins from carne asada, pollo asado, shrimp, carnitas and al pastor.
Can you drop the food off without staff?
No. We cook and serve on site with our own staff, so there’s no drop-off option.
Is the 40-guest minimum firm?
Yes. We don’t take events under 40 guests.
Your guests will still be talking about it Monday morning.
