Choose from crowd-pleasing party platters like tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and rolled tacos, or keep it simple with our popular bulk burrito orders, perfect for meetings, schools, sporting events, and office lunches. We also offer buffet-style catering with a variety of authentic Mexican favorites to fit your group and budget.

Sombrero offers several party-platter formats so groups can choose between handheld items, shareable appetizers, and full meal components. Current options include a Taco Platter with tacos plus rice and beans, a Burrito Platter with wrapped burrito halves and sides, an Enchilada Tray, and a Combo Platter featuring quesadillas and rolled tacos with chips, salsa, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Additional catering choices include burritos in bulk, taco-bar style service, breakfast selections, meat by the serving, tortillas, chips, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. The right mix depends on the event. Tacos and burrito halves are easy for casual gatherings, enchiladas work well for a buffet, and sides help round out the meal or accommodate different appetites. Review the official catering menu for current quantities, pricing, and customization. For larger orders, use the quote builder at least 24 hours before the event so the catering team can confirm the details and preparation requirements.

Party trays and full catering orders have different planning guidelines at Sombrero Mexican Food. There is no minimum advance notice for a standard party tray, so a location may be able to prepare one on the same day. However, platters take time to assemble, and availability depends on the order size, staffing, and how busy the restaurant is. Giving the store as much notice as possible is the safest choice, especially for multiple trays, peak meal periods, weekends, or holidays. Larger catering orders should be submitted through the website’s quote builder at least 24 hours in advance. That lead time allows the team to review quantities, menu selections, pickup or service details, and any event-specific needs. A quote request is not the same as placing a small individual food order, so use the catering process for larger groups. For a last-minute party tray, contact the selected location directly and ask about realistic preparation time rather than assuming it will be ready immediately.

Browse the catering menu, add buffets, platters, bulk burritos, and sides to your quote, and set your guest count or quantities for each item. When you are ready, submit the quote request with your event date, pickup or delivery preference, and preferred location. No payment is taken online. Our catering team reviews the request, confirms availability and pricing, and follows up to finalize the order. Please allow at least 24 hours before your event for full catering orders; same-day party platters can be ordered directly through online ordering at any location.

Yes. Catering orders can be picked up from any participating Sombrero location or delivered across San Diego County; just choose delivery when you submit your quote and the catering team will confirm timing and any delivery fee. Buffet packages come packed in ready-to-serve party packs with plates, utensils, napkins, and serving pieces, and custom setup is available for larger events. For questions about an event, email our catering team at customerservice@sombreromex.com.

Yes. Sombrero Mexican Food can provide food for breakfast meetings, employee lunches, parties, family gatherings, and larger events. Breakfast catering can include burritos in bulk or a breakfast buffet with choices such as ham and egg, machaca, or chorizo, along with tortillas, potatoes or rice, and cheese. Lunch and dinner options include taco and burrito platters, enchilada trays, combination platters, taco-bar components, meats, tortillas, rice, beans, chips, salsa, guacamole, and other sides. This flexibility makes it possible to build anything from a simple office meal to a fuller buffet-style spread. For large or customized catering orders, submit a quote through the Sombrero website at least 24 hours in advance. Include the event date, estimated guest count, preferred food, and any important service details. Smaller party trays can be ordered without a minimum notice period, but they still require preparation time, so earlier ordering is recommended whenever possible for the smoothest experience.
