What are your taco catering prices?

Accepted Answer

The current taco-bar packages are $11/person Pickup, $13/person Buffet Delivery, $14/person Cooked On Site, and $16/person Boxed Lunch. The base package is always shown separately from optional extras. The dedicated How Much estimator applies the package minimum when needed.

What are the minimums?

Question 3

Do you price match or work with budgets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The site carries a Price Match Guarantee and says prices are negotiable. Taco Man works with different budgets. Use the quote form and tell the team what you are trying to spend so they can recommend the best package and options.

Question 4

Can I get 5 tacos per guest instead of 4?
