we set up right where you are ↑

Three ways we show up.

Pick the one that fits your room. We'll tell you honestly if another one fits better.

Family-style trays

Arepas, empanadas, patacones, and stews in half or full pans. Set out, labeled, ready to serve.

Boxed lunches

One plate per guest, packed and labeled. The easy answer for offices and job sites.

A tent on site

We set up and serve your guests plate by plate, the way we do a farmers market. Best for weddings, block parties, and long events.
