// What buyers need

What arrives, and what the host arranges

The right package still needs an operational plan. These are the details that most often decide whether service feels smooth.

What the organizer needs

  • A clear serving surface and a place for guests to build tacos or bowls
  • An adult and child headcount, with protein and dietary quantities to confirm
  • A named person to receive the delivery and manage the buffet during the party
  • A plan for serving utensils, place settings, leftovers and cleanup

Service and delivery plan

  • Buffet food arrives hot in aluminum catering trays with basic setup for self-service.
  • Standard service does not include staff staying to serve, replenishment, on-site cooking or cleanup.
  • Disposable plates, cutlery and napkins are bundled in the two Complete packages. With Taco Fiesta, add them for $0.50 per person.
  • Serving utensils are separate at $1.50 each, calculated for non-sauce trays/items. Confirm the number in the quote.
  • Tell us if you need warming equipment or other equipment; availability and arrangements must be confirmed in writing.

// Planning notes

What planners should know

  • For Taco Fiesta and Complete Taco Celebration, choose two proteins, four toppings and three sauces from the Taco Bar menu.
  • Taco Bar packages include three soft tortillas per person, with corn, flour or a mix confirmed in the quote. Mixed Bar packages include two corn tortillas per person.
  • Grilled chicken and seasoned ground beef are halal. Do not assume the same for fajita shredded beef or Beef Barbacoa; request the specific protein you need.
  • Tofu and bean-and-corn choices depend on the format. Share vegan, vegetarian and allergy requirements with quantities before confirming the menu.
  • Include children in your enquiry and ask the team to confirm portions; do not assume a child discount or half portion.
  • For empanadas, request an exact piece count in the quote: $4 per piece, separate from per-person extras.

// Request the quote

Give the catering team what they need

Before you request the quote

Confirm the event plan with your venue, then send the operational details in one request. Availability and final logistics are confirmed in writing.

Include these details

  • Event date, requested serving time and total guest count, including children
  • House, condo party room or backyard, with the complete delivery address
  • Selected package, tortilla preference and protein quantities
  • Dietary quantities, allergies and optional extras; exact pieces for empanadas
  • Parking, stairs, elevator or concierge access, serving surface and receiving contact
  • Serving utensils, disposable place settings and any equipment requests

// Event planning context

How to choose the right home & private party format

The best format depends on how guests will actually eat. If the room can support one coordinated serving window, a taco or bowl buffet usually gives the best mix of value and guest choice. If names, labels or staggered attendance matter more, individually packaged meals can be the better operational fit even when the event itself sounds buffet-friendly.

This is why the most useful quote requests include the date, address, guest count, dietary quantities and a short note about the room setup. Those details make it easier to confirm the right format before delivery, add-ons and HST are finalized in writing.

// FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you cater a home party for 10 or 15 people?

Yes. The catering minimum is 10 guests, including the three home-party packages shown here. Share the guest count, date and address so the team can confirm your complete quote.

How much does home-party catering cost?

Taco Fiesta is $17 per person, Complete Taco Celebration is $20 and Complete Mixed Feast is $22. For 20 guests, with a $40 Toronto delivery planning figure and 13% HST on food plus delivery, totals are $429.40, $497.20 and $542.40 before optional extras. Delivery and any serving utensils are confirmed in writing.

Does anyone stay to serve or clean up?

Standard buffet catering includes hot trays and basic setup for self-service. Staff staying to serve, replenishment, on-site cooking and cleanup are not standard inclusions. The host should arrange who manages the food and cleanup.

Are plates and serving utensils included?

Complete Taco Celebration and Complete Mixed Feast include disposable plates, cutlery and napkins. Taco Fiesta does not; add them for $0.50 per person. Serving utensils are separate at $1.50 each for non-sauce trays/items, with the quantity confirmed in the quote. Do not assume tables or warming equipment are supplied.

Can you deliver to a condo or backyard party?

Share the full address, parking and entrance instructions, stairs or elevator access, party-room rules and an on-site contact. The team confirms final delivery logistics in writing. For backyard events, arrange a sheltered serving surface and a weather backup.

Can I collect the food instead of arranging delivery?

Ask for pickup from 839 Queen St W, Toronto when requesting your quote. Delivery is available to the cities listed on this site; addresses outside that area are pickup-only.

What should I send for guests with dietary needs?

Send the number of halal, vegan and vegetarian meals and any allergy requirements before the menu is finalized. Grilled chicken and seasoned ground beef carry the halal claim; fajita shredded beef and Beef Barbacoa do not. Confirm protein choices, tortilla preference and preparation requirements with the team.
