CaterCow is hands down the greatest company I've ever worked with. Ever.
I feel like I'm their only customer. Any issue that may arise with a vendor is swiftly met with dedicated acumen, poise, and accommodation. I've seen them make immediate changes to their website based on a mistake I myself made. If I could have the whole team over for dinner, I would. Every single person I've connected with has felt like a friend. Show me another organization anywhere, let alone a catering company, that offers that level of personal attention. I'll wait.
Too busy? Try Managed.

Advice for Ordering Mexican Catering
Ordering Mexican catering can be a delicious and exciting way to provide food for an event, whether it's a casual gathering, a corporate meeting, or a wedding. Here are some tips to ensure your Mexican catering experience is a hit:
Understand Your Guest Preferences
Dietary Restrictions
Ensure you are aware of any dietary restrictions or preferences among your guests, such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or nut allergies. Mexican cuisine offers a variety of options that can cater to these needs, including vegetable fajitas, bean tacos, and rice dishes.
Spice Levels
Mexican food is known for its bold flavors and spices. Consider offering dishes with varying levels of spiciness to accommodate those who prefer milder tastes as well as those who enjoy a bit of heat.
Choose a Variety of Dishes
Appetizers
Consider including popular starters like guacamole, salsa with chips, and queso dip to give guests a flavorful introduction to the meal.
Main Dishes
Tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and tamales are crowd-pleasers. Offering a mix of meat, seafood, and vegetarian options will ensure there is something for everyone.
Sides and Extras
Mexican rice, refried beans, and street corn (elote) make excellent side dishes. Don’t forget toppings and condiments like sour cream, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro.
Plan for Presentation and Service
Buffet Style
A buffet setup allows guests to customize their plates according to their preferences. Make sure to label dishes clearly, especially when it comes to identifying vegan, vegetarian, and spicy options.
Taco Bar
A DIY taco bar can be a fun and interactive way for guests to build their own tacos with a variety of fillings and toppings.
Consider Beverages
Offer traditional Mexican drinks like horchata, tamarind juice, and aguas frescas. For adult gatherings, consider providing margaritas or sangrias.
