Catering Menus · Austin, Texas
Taco bars, buffets, nacho bars, party trays and burrito boxes — each format solves a different problem. Read them, then tell us which one fits your headcount, venue and schedule.
Our menus are a set of formats, and each one solves a different problem: a taco bar for a reception that needs to move, a buffet for a long dinner, party trays for a home party, burrito boxes for an office lunch. Below is what is in each, plus the sides and add-ons that make a spread feel finished.
Read the formats, then tell us which one fits your event. We adjust portions and options to your headcount — guest count, event length and venue are the three numbers that matter most.
The taco bar is our core format and the one most events start with. Hand-pressed tortillas, two or three slow-cooked meats, and a row of fresh toppings: onion, cilantro, radish, lime, salsa verde, and a hotter option for people who want it.
Build-your-own service means guests control their own plate, which handles picky eaters and dietary needs without a separate menu. It also clears a line fast, which matters at a wedding reception more than most people expect.

Hot bar service
For longer dinners and bigger rooms, we keep a hot bar running so the second wave of guests eats as well as the first.
Buffet-style service runs enchiladas, arroz con pollo, ceviche, rice and beans, and rotating sides through a hot bar. This is the format for longer events and bigger rooms, where you want hot food to stay hot across a second wave of guests.
It is also the most flexible for mixed groups. Vegetarian guests, protein-heavy eaters, and anyone who just wants rice and beans all find their plate in the same line.
Chips, dips, and customizable toppings, built for casual and late-night events. The nacho bar works as a standalone snack station or as a second food moment alongside a taco bar. Sports events, game nights, and parties with a loose schedule tend to like it best.
Pair it with guacamole and salsa and it reads as a real station rather than a bag of chips on a table.

Party trays are the simple, practical option: guacamole, salsas, chips, and tray-friendly sides that travel and set up quickly. They suit home parties, smaller gatherings, and events where guests drift in and out rather than sit down at once.
If you are hosting at home and do not want a service setup, this is usually the right call.
Office lunches
Individually packaged burrito boxes for office lunches and structured events. Distribution is fast, cleanup is faster, and it works in spaces without a service line. This format fits corporate lunches where people eat at their desks or in a meeting room.
Same kitchen and ingredients as the rest of our menus, structured for a 30-minute lunch window.
Rice and beans are standard supporting sides in Mexican group menus, and they do real work: they round out vegetarian-friendly spreads and stretch the food for bigger groups. Guacamole and chips are the add-on most people expect, and they signal freshness in a way that pre-packaged dips do not.
Elote, extra salsas, and additional protein options are available depending on the format. Ask when you request a quote.
Rice and beans
Included with most formats — vegetarian-friendly and the easiest way to stretch a spread for a larger headcount.
Guacamole and chips
The add-on most hosts ask for. Made fresh the day of your event, not poured from a tub.
Elote and extra salsas
Available depending on the format you choose. Tell us the heat level you want for the group.
Extra proteins
Add a third or fourth meat to a taco bar, or swap a protein into a buffet line.
Vegetarian and vegan
Rice and beans, guacamole, salsas, and vegetable fillings cover vegetarian and vegan guests without a separate menu.
Gluten-free
Corn tortillas handle most gluten-free needs, and we flag which items contain gluten. Tell us the mix when you book.
Build-your-own formats run heavier than plated service, so plan on more taco fillings than a per-person estimate would suggest. Keep rice and beans in the mix to stretch the spread, and factor in whether drinks are served and how long the event runs.
We would rather size the menu with you than guess. Guest count, event length, and venue are the three numbers that matter — bring those and we will work out portions that hold up from the first plate to the last.
Guest count
Sets how many proteins and sides we bring, and how much of each.
Event length
A three-hour reception eats differently than a two-hour lunch.
Venue
Service space, power, and room to set a station decide the format.
Match the format to how your event actually flows. A taco bar suits receptions and parties with movement. A buffet suits long dinners in rooms with a service area. Party trays suit home events. Burrito boxes suit office lunches with a hard stop. If you are between two formats, tell us the venue and schedule — the room usually decides.
Party trays or burrito boxes set up anywhere. No station, no line, no service footprint.
A buffet hot bar holds temperature across the evening. Add a nacho bar for a late second food moment.
Yes. A taco bar plus a nacho bar is a common pairing, and party trays work alongside either. We will help you decide what your guest count and venue can support.
Yes. Rice and beans, guacamole, salsas, and vegetable fillings cover vegetarian and vegan guests without a separate menu.
Corn tortillas handle most gluten-free needs, and we flag items that contain gluten so guests can choose with confidence.
Earlier is better for weekends and wedding season. Contact us with your date and headcount and we will confirm availability.
Send your date, headcount and venue, and we will come back with the format, portions and options that fit. If you are choosing between a taco bar and a buffet, say so — we will talk it through with you.
