Contact and Book Costa Vida Catering
Tell us about your event and we will put together a menu and a quote. Share the date, start time, guest count, and venue up front, and we can answer with a plan instead of a follow-up question.
What to include in your inquiry
Five details carry the whole quote: date, start time, guest count, venue or address, and the service format you have in mind. Add the dietary mix in your group and, if you have one, a budget range. None of it is binding. It just means the first quote we send is the accurate one, rather than a back-and-forth while your date moves closer.
Still weighing a taco bar against a burrito station? Say so in the message. We will walk through how each one serves a room, how much counter space it needs, and which fits the kind of event you are planning.
Have these ready
- Event date and start time
- Guest count, even if it is still an estimate
- Venue name or delivery address
- Taco bar, burrito station, or full service
- Dietary needs anywhere in the guest list
Missing a detail is fine. We will ask about it directly instead of guessing.

Response time and next steps
We reply to catering inquiries as soon as we can, usually within one business day. Nothing is locked until you approve the quote.
Once we have your details, the sequence is short: we confirm the format and the guest count, send a quote with the menu and service included, and hold the date once you say yes. Setup and service details are confirmed in writing before the event, so the day itself has no surprises on either side.

Venue and logistics questions
Venue access changes the plan more than the menu does. Tell us about loading zones, elevators, kitchen access, setup windows, and any rule about open flames or on-site cooking. A downtown high-rise often needs a freight elevator booked in advance and a fixed delivery window. A backyard event may need a power source for warming equipment. Both are workable when we know before the day.
If the venue has a required vendor list or a certificate process, send it with your inquiry. We would rather read the rules at quote time than discover them at setup.
Dietary needs and menu changes
Share the dietary mix in your group when you reach out. Vegetarian and vegan plates can be built from corn tortillas, rice, beans, grilled vegetables, mushrooms, salsas, and guacamole. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, which covers most of the guest list without a separate menu.
We label the service line clearly so guests can serve themselves with confidence, and we keep vegetarian and vegan items on their own trays rather than folded into the main line.
Booking timeline
Most events are booked two to four weeks out, and larger weddings and corporate dates are locked in earlier. We keep room in the schedule for shorter-notice events, so it is worth asking even if your date is close. Earlier is easier, but a short timeline is not a dealbreaker.
If you are still choosing between formats, this is a good moment to look at the full menu range and what each package includes before you send the inquiry. It makes the first conversation shorter.
Questions we hear before booking
How quickly will I hear back?
We reply to catering inquiries as soon as we can, usually within one business day. If your event is within a week, call the kitchen instead of waiting on the form.
What information do you need for a quote?
Date, start time, guest count, venue or address, and the format you have in mind. Dietary needs and a budget range help too. None of it is binding.
Can I book on short notice?
Often, yes. Most events are booked two to four weeks out, but we keep room for shorter-notice dates. Ask before you assume the answer is no.
Can you handle a venue with strict access rules?
Yes, when we know about them early. Send loading-zone details, freight elevator requirements, setup windows, and any open-flame restrictions with your inquiry.
Ready to plan your event?
Send the details and we will come back with a menu and a quote. If you would rather see how we handle weddings, corporate lunches, and home parties first, the events page walks through each format.
