Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
