How to book your holiday catering
The holidays fill up fast. To lock in your date and menu, here is the simple process:
- Reach out with the basics: Date, time, guest count, pickup or delivery, and your venue address if needed. Call us or use the contact form on our website.
- Share your wish list: Tell us about themes, dietary needs, and the mix of Latin, American, and seafood you want. Gluten friendly, dairy free, or kid friendly plates are available.
- Get a custom quote: We confirm portions, sides, sauces, and timing. You get clear pricing and expectations.
- Confirm and relax: We ask for at least 48 hours notice for catering orders. For holiday weeks and large parties, book 2 to 3 weeks early to secure prime pickup or delivery windows. If you want private space, ask about our semi private room that seats 40 to 50 guests.
You can always stop by to taste a dish before you commit. We are a friendly restaurant in Woodbine, so it is easy to plan in person if you prefer.
Holiday hosting tips that save the day
A few smart moves make your party smooth and stress free:
- Start with a headcount range: Plan 10 to 15 percent extra for last minute guests.
- Choose a theme plate: Pick one anchor protein, one pasta or rice dish, two apps, and one veggie or salad. Add a dessert for a ready to go menu.
- Keep it handheld: Sliders, tacos, empanadas, and skewers keep folks mingling and your space tidy.
- Time the hot trays: Stagger pickup so the hottest items land right before guests arrive. We can label trays with reheating notes.
- Make a drink plan: If your venue allows, offer a simple cocktail, beer, wine, and a fun zero proof option. Our team can suggest pairings that match your menu.
Office celebrations, team wins, and client thank yous
Feeding a team can be tricky when everyone likes something different. That is where our blended menu shines. Keep it balanced with:
- A wing bar with a few sauces and celery.
- Pasta tray, like penne with vodka sauce or cheese ravioli.
- A seafood centerpiece, such as shrimp boats or grilled salmon.
- A bright salad and roasted veggies for lighter eaters.
- Dessert bites and fruit to finish.

Family gatherings with flair
Birthdays, showers, reunions, or game nights feel special when the food is easy and memorable. Try a Latin forward spread with pernil sliders, tostones, tacos and chicharrones. Or go classic with burger sliders, wings, chips and salsa, and our signature crab dip. Add a seafood tray if you want that wow moment.
If you are planning an outdoor celebration, ask about timing so hot items hold temperature on the way. We can guide you on cooler packs and reheating.
