Pickup and delivery

Catering FAQS:

Do you cater on Sundays?

We currently do not have catering on Sundays as we are closed but do offer a Saturday pickup option with reheat instructions available.

Do you offer full service catering?

Yes! We do offer on-site catering services for those events with 100+ headcount; where we will set up at your location of choice and serve guests for 2 hours. These are based on availability.

Can we rent your patios for catering events?

Yes! You absolutely can – we do request that food and drink is through us but you can absolutely bring your own dessert if you would like something other than soft serve ice cream or flan.

Do you deliver? How far?

Yes we deliver! It is based on availability and may have fees associated with it. Our delivery radius is typically within 20 miles or less but we will go a bit further on a case by case basis.

Will you set up my catering order? Is there a fee?

Yes we will, though we do not require a set up fee, we do kindly ask that you tip our staff for their efforts as it goes directly to them.

What serving items will come with my order?

We include plates, napkins, eating and serving utensils according to your headcount and as needed based on your order. For ex: serving utensils are not needed with our burrito trays but we will provide napkins for your guests. You can also purchase disposable chafing dishes from us for $12 each, which includes the butane and extra tray needed.

How do I know how many chafing dishes I need?

It depends on your headcount and what you order. Most orders typically need 3-4 but may require more based on what is purchased, for example multiple meat and tortilla selections may require an extra chafing due to the separation of items. You may also need more based on overall order size or what set up you would like.

What sides are included with my catering order?

It depends on what you order! Please read over our catering menu here to see what comes with which items – if you want to add something that is not immediately included – just ask, extra fees may apply.

Are any of the catering options gluten friendly?

Yes! The taco bar can be made gluten friendly when choosing corn tortillas for your guests’ tacos as well as the tostadas are made with corn tortillas. Othereur Papa Loca or crazy potato contains no flour and all of our sides, including our Mexican rice and chips are gluten free. The only item that is not gluten friendly would be the burrito trays or boxes because they are made with large flour tortillas.

Are any items on your catering menu vegetarian friendly?

Though vegetarian items aren’t immediately listed with the build your own Mexcellence catering bars, when ordering the tostada or the Papa Loca options, the guest can simply opt out of the meat of choice and continue topping their tostada or potato with other items from the catering bar.

Are any of the items on your catering menu vegan friendly?

We take helping our vegans very seriously! It can be pretty tricky for a vegan to build something from our catering bars but we are happy to help by getting you sides of whole beans for them or something else from our main menu as an add on when doing individual boxed meals!

How do I get gluten or vegan/vegetarian help when ordering catering?

It is best to email us directly so our catering team can give specific instructions to our managers to ensure you are getting truly vegetarian/vegan or gluten friendly items. Though we love our partnership with Ezcater and using the link they offer, sometimes those dietary needs messages get lost in translation. Email us at catering@backyardtao.com for help

How many different meats can I order for my Mexcellence catering bar?

While we will technically split the meats as many ways as you’d like when ordering directly through us, we will always give a recommendation to split with caution so there is a variety of each chosen meat for every person attending your catering event. When ordering through the link on our website (Ezcater) the minimum per meat choice in catering bars is a headcount of 10. When ordering individually boxed meals you can mix and match a bit more but keep in mind it is only one meat option per box.

Can I combine options from your build your own Mexcellence catering bars?

Yes! You absolutely can – email us at catering@backyardtaco.com so we can help you get exactly what you want!

Do you offer drinks for catering services?

Yes we absolutely do! We will pour any of our Aguas Frescas by the gallon – you get to choose from our house made Horchata, Jamaica and Limonada. We do also sell our sodas by the can or can offer our Mexican sodas by request as well.

Do you offer desserts for catering?

We do offer our house made flan by the whole or slice when ordering catering for delivery and takeout. If you’re ever hosting a catered event on our patios we will happily offer you and your guests ice cream and cones or a paleta of your choice!

How much notice do you need for catering?

While we will always do our best to accommodate catering with as little notice as possible it is best to book in advance – especially when needing a delivery and set up so we can assure you are properly being taken care of. Our technical cut off via the Ezcater link on our website is 90 minutes. If you ever need catering ordered in less than 24 hours and have questions we recommend calling your closest store directly and asking to speak with a manager.
