At catering scale

Catering Mexican, honestly

Mexican food is LA's default celebration food, and a taco bar is how the city eats at a party — which is exactly why Carthage builds its Mexican menu around one. The heroes are the slow-cooked meats: beef birria with a rich consommé for dipping, citrus-marinated carne asada, tender barbacoa, and a halal al pastor carved off a lamb-and-beef trompo with charred pineapple. Because we're a halal kitchen there's no pork or chicharrón — but with birria and a proper trompo, nobody's missing it. Chicken tacos, loaded nachos, elote street corn, guacamole and fresh salsas round out a spread that works as a buffet line or a full taquiza station.

Everything comes from one Los Angeles kitchen, so a taco bar can share an event with Lebanese mezze, Korean BBQ or a sushi table — all priced together per guest, no separate taquero fee. Dietary paths are clear: elote, guacamole and salsas are vegetarian or vegan, every meat is zabiha-sourced, and corn-tortilla tacos are naturally gluten-free. Whether it's a quinceañera in the Valley, a wedding in Downtown LA or a backyard party in Orange County, a halal taco bar from Carthage is the easiest way to feed a big, mixed crowd food everyone actually wants.

Questions

Mexican catering, answered honestly

What does Mexican catering cost per platter in Los Angeles?
Taco platters and trays run $16–$130 — steak and carne asada platters at the top, individual burrito boxes from $16. A taco spread for thirty guests typically lands between $8 and $14 per person depending on fillings.
Is your Mexican menu halal — including the carne asada?
Yes — carne asada, al pastor-spiced chicken, and every other meat here is zabiha-sourced, and the salsas are made in-house with no wine or spirits anywhere in the kitchen. Corn tortillas keep much of the menu naturally gluten-free, and every tray is labeled.
Can you run a live taco line at our event?
Yes — the taco line is our most requested live station: tortillas warmed to order, two or three fillings, and the salsa bar built to your heat preference. It keeps a hundred guests moving without a bottleneck, or the same spread arrives assembled for drop-off.
Which Mexican dishes do LA offices order most?
The build-your-own taco spread wins team lunches by a mile — it feeds vegetarians, gluten-free, and hot-sauce loyalists from one table. Quesadilla platters and burrito boxes are the tidy option when the meeting runs through lunch.
