Buffet package cards show the 40+ guest range, with lower per-person pricing at 60+ and 100+. Starting prices reflect simple drop-off, pickup, or basic delivery. Setup, refills, staffing, and full-service are quoted separately based on guest count, timing, location, and service needs.
Use the service styles to see how the quote changes. Buffet service builds on the package tiers, so the per-person rate improves as guest count grows. Delivery/setup, buffet refills, and staffed lines can still be estimated here. Full-service staffed events, weddings, rentals, and 150+ guest jobs move to a custom quote.
Quesabirrias are available as a premium fresh-service add-on for taquiza-style events. Because they are best served fresh, they are not included as the default item in our buffet packages.
Appetizer Add-Ons start at $15/person. Choose 2: mini chicken tostadas, mini tortas, guacamole cups, esquites, taquito-style bites, or vegetarian tamale bites. Premium seafood appetizers can be quoted separately for weddings and elevated private events.
Add-ons (per person)
We usually lead with guac + chips, agua fresca, horchata, and dessert or sweets. Fish tacos, shrimp tacos, and quesabirrias come in as specialty upgrades when the event format supports them.
Quesabirrias are quoted as a premium fresh-service add-on rather than a tray-held buffet item.

FAQs
Questions people usually ask before booking
Do you deliver to offices and business parks?
Yes. Corporate lunches are one of the main reasons this page exists. We can handle office drop-off, delivery/setup, and fuller buffet service across Monterey County.
What works best for a team lunch: boxed or buffet?
Boxed lunches are best when people need to grab meals quickly or eat in shifts. Buffets work better for 40+ guests when the team is eating together and wants a fuller spread.
Can we reorder for recurring lunches or trainings?
Yes. Once we know your preferred package, guest count range, and delivery logistics, repeat orders get much easier.
How much notice do you need?
Five or more days is best for most corporate orders. For 75+ guests or more complex setups, two weeks is safer. Rush orders are worth asking about.
