"Booked La Charito for my mum's 60th birthday and it was the highlight of the party. The Fiesta Bites were devoured in minutes. You can taste the 50 years of family tradition in every bite."

Party Catering FAQ

How many boxes of Fiesta Bites do I need per person?

As a guide, plan for 4-5 pieces per person as a starter/snack, or 8-10 pieces per person if Fiesta Bites are the main food. Each box has 20 pieces — so for 20 guests as a starter, order 5 boxes.

Can I mix and match packages?

Absolutely. The most popular party combo is Fiesta Bites for the first hour plus Abuela Feast for the main meal. Contact us and we'll build a custom quote based on your party timeline.

Do you cater kids' birthday parties?

Yes! Kids love arepas and empanadas — they're handheld, fun to eat, and naturally free from gluten. Our lunchboxes are perfect for kids' parties because each child gets their own box.

How far in advance should I book for a party?

We recommend 3-5 business days for standard parties. For large parties (100+ guests), 2-4 weeks advance notice is ideal. Peak seasons like December fill up fast, so book early for Christmas and holiday parties.

Do you deliver on weekends?

Yes. We deliver 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays. Most birthday and engagement parties happen on Saturdays — we've got you covered.
