Frequently Asked Questions

Everything we get asked about taco catering in Las Vegas, in one place.

Pricing & Booking

How much does taco catering cost in Las Vegas?

Full-service taco catering starts at $406 including tax for up to 25 guests, which covers a Taco Master, the mesquite grill station, a toppings bar, and two hours of full service. Each additional adult is $15. Location fees apply on the Strip ($60), at Allegiant Stadium ($150), and in North Las Vegas ($30). Most events land between $15 and $17 per person.

How far in advance should I book?

Two to three weeks for most dates. Graduation season (May, June), December weekends, and Raiders home games book out a month or more ahead. An online deposit locks your date instantly.

Do you offer payment plans for big parties?

A deposit locks your date, and the balance is due before the event. Many hosts split it across two or three payments; just ask.

How does invoicing work for companies?

Reserve with a card deposit online, then settle the balance by card or company check on event day. We send itemized invoices and a W-9 for your AP team.

Full-Service vs. Drop-Off

What is the difference between full-service and drop-off catering?

Full service brings Taco Masters who build your tacos to order on site and serve for two hours. Drop-off delivers the same mesquite-grilled meats in labeled trays with the toppings bar packed to go, ideal for offices with tight lunch windows.

How long does the service run?

Two full hours. Guests can come back for more during that window; that is the point.

Is a taco cart cheaper than your station?

Usually not once you compare like for like. Carts in Las Vegas typically run $12 to $18 per person with three meats; our station starts near $16 per person all-in with seven mesquite-grilled meats and a full toppings bar.

Areas We Serve

Do you cater on the Strip and at Allegiant Stadium?

Yes. Strip events add a flat $60 logistics fee and Allegiant Stadium tailgates add $150 for lot access and early setup. Both are shown up front in the instant quote calculator.

Is there a travel fee for Henderson taco catering?

No. Henderson is inside our core service area, so the base package price applies: $406 with tax for up to 25 guests with two hours of full service.

Why is there a transport fee for North Las Vegas?

Our kitchen is in the southeast valley, so North Las Vegas events add a flat $30 to cover the extra drive. It is already included in every quote our calculator shows you.

Can you cater at HOA communities, country clubs, gated communities, or hotels with outside-catering rules?

Yes, regularly. We arrive early for gate or dock access, set up on our own self-contained station, and provide insurance paperwork the venue or HOA can review before the event.

Can you really grill in the Allegiant Stadium parking lots?

Yes, in designated tailgating lots during permitted hours. We bring a self-contained station and follow lot rules on flame and cleanup.

Dietary & Logistics

Do you handle dietary restrictions?

Yes. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, we offer a vegetarian station add-on, and the build-your-own toppings bar means every guest controls their own plate. Tell us about allergies in the quote form and we plan around them.

How many tacos should we plan per guest?

Plan four to five street tacos per adult and two to three per child. Two hours of full service means nobody counts; everyone eats until they are happy.

What space do you need for the station?

A level 10-by-10-foot area with a clear path from the street. We bring the station, shade, tables, and everything else.

Can you coordinate with wedding planners and venues?

Yes. Send us your planner's contact and we handle load-in times, insurance certificates, and station placement directly.

Can you do a tasting before we book?

Come by the restaurant on Tamarus Street any Monday through Saturday and try the exact meats we serve at events. Mention your date and we will walk the menu with you.

Can you serve indoors without an open flame?

Yes. Meats are mesquite-grilled at our kitchen the same day, then served from covered heat wells indoors. Guests still get the live assembly and toppings bar.

What size groups do you serve?

From a 25-person gathering to 300-plus guests. Above 75 guests we add a second Taco Master so the line keeps moving.
