Pick your stations
Mix and match. Most events have the taco bar, totopos and salad station, and the griddle when you want a bit of theatre.
The griddle: quesabirria made to order
Corn tortillas dipped in birria consomé, filled with slow-cooked beef birria and melted cheese, then crisped on the flat-top until golden. Tacos dorados, made in front of your guests and served straight off the griddle.
Vegan mushroom birria version available
Self-serve taco bar
Warm corn tortillas, beef birria and our vegan mushroom birria, laid out so guests build their own. Quick, relaxed and ideal for office lunches.
Totopos & salsa station

Salad station
Fresh toppings to load up your tacos: shredded cheese, pickled red onion, coriander, onion, lime and more.
