The main difference between our Taquiza and Mexican Buffet lies in the experience we offer. With our Taquiza, you and your guests enjoy a lively taco party, where we make and serve delicious tacos right at your event. In contrast, our Mexican Buffet provides a traditional dining experience, featuring plates of food served buffet-style, with the main course presented directly on the plate. For the Taquiza, we use smaller ‘Street Taco’ corn tortillas, allowing the meat to sit directly on top for a flavorful bite. Meanwhile, our Mexican Buffet features larger corn tortillas served on the side, complementing the main dishes perfectly.

We recommend a gratuity of 15-20%, depending on the level of service you receive from our team. All gratuities are distributed among the servers to ensure they are fairly compensated for their hard work. For every event, we provide a minimum of two servers, with additional staff allocated based on the size of your gathering.

Yes, the minimum for any full-service catering event depends on the event’s location, starting at $800.00 for events within a 25-mile driving radius of our Newark store.

Yes, while our equipment is quite mobile and can fit in most spaces, we cannot carry our griddle. This heavy-duty commercial equipment is not only heavy but also takes about two hours to cool down once heated, making it dangerous for our employees to carry. We cannot navigate obstacles that require carrying the griddle, such as stairs, soft dirt, tanbark, soft grass, rocks, or any other challenging terrain. However, our griddle is set on a wheeled table, so as long as we can roll it to your desired location, we can serve your guests there.

The optimum space for our setup is 10 ft x 15 ft. However, if your location cannot accommodate this, we can likely make it work! For each taquiza, we require a small table (2 ft x 4 ft) as a safety barrier in front of our griddle (2 ft x 2 ft), which is used to heat tortillas on-site. We also need a steam table (2 ft x 5 ft) to keep all the hot food fresh and at the proper temperature, along with a standard folding table (2 ft x 6 ft) for our salsa bar. The griddle and steam table must be set up next to each other, but the salsa bar table can be relocated to a more suitable spot for your event. The minimum space required is 9 ft x 5 ft, which includes space for our servers to work efficiently.

For outdoor events, please refer to the requirements for the Taquiza, as the same equipment is used and the same space is needed. For indoor events, we utilize chafing dishes set up on standard folding tables (2 ft x 6 ft). The number of tables required typically depends on the size of your menu, but we usually use 2 to 3 tables.

Booking with us is simple and can be broken down into four easy steps:
1. Contact Us: Call us at (408) 471-TACO (8226), email us at catering@arteagas.com, or fill out our online catering form. We’ll be happy to check availability for you!
2. Menu Selection: Provide us with your menu so we can send you an estimate via email. We can place a hold on your date and time to ensure no one else can take your slot. This hold lasts one week, giving you time to finalize your menu.
3. Receive Your Estimate: After you confirm your menu, reach out to us by phone or email, and we will send you your estimate. The hold on your event will be extended for another week to allow you time to submit your non-refundable deposit.
4. Submit Your Non-Refundable Deposit: To fully secure your spot on our calendar, we require a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the total amount due on your estimate. The remaining balance is due on the day of your event. For the deposit, you can fill out our credit card authorization form and return it to us, mail a check to our Newark address at 5524 Thornton Ave., Newark, CA 94560, or visit our store to pay in person with cash, check, or credit card.

We accept all major forms of payment, including credit cards, cash, and checks.

Rain or shine, we’ll be there! If it rains, we will bring canopies to keep the food and our servers dry. Our canopies are 15 ft x 10 ft in size.

In the unfortunate event that you need to cancel your event, you may do so at any time, understanding that your deposit will be forfeited. We require a non-refundable deposit because, once we commit to your event, we turn away any other inquiries that conflict with your date.

If there are any leftovers at the end of your event, we will be happy to leave any food you want to keep. We simply ask that you provide the containers, and our servers will gladly pack them away for you!

Any adjustments to the menu or guest count can be made up to 5 days before your event. If a deposit has already been received, any changes will be reflected in the pending balance due for your event.

Yes, Arteaga’s offers delivery for any order over $250. The pricing structure includes our pick-up pricing plus a delivery fee. The delivery fee varies based on distance but starts at $50 for deliveries within a 10-mile radius of our taqueria. With our delivery service, our drivers will drop off the food at your desired location. Please note that serving utensils, cutlery, and setup are not included in the delivery service. Delivery is subject to availability.

Yes, all food is subject to sales tax. Additionally, for full-service catering events within a 25-mile radius of our Newark location, there is a $150 setup/travel fee. This fee covers the preparation of your order, as well as the setup and cleanup of our equipment at your event, including travel to and from your location.
