Catering Booking Policy
The Mule:
Mule catering orders require full payment to complete the order. Payments can be made easily online through your invoice once you receive it.
El Jefe and Baller Status:
- In order to reserve the taco cart, we require a 50% deposit to reserve your date. If canceled 30 days prior to the event you will receive a full refund of the deposit. 7-29 days prior to the event you will receive a 25% refund of the deposit. Less than 7 days notice there will be no refund of deposit available.
- Date changes may incur a $50 rescheduling fee to cover our staff time to rearrange and redistribute supplies, staff, and kitchen schedules.
- Menu changes made less than three weeks from the event date may incur a change fee of $50-$200, depending upon the scope.
- Most of our catering planning needs to be three weeks out for staff scheduling. When catering orders are changed last minute, it translates to higher costs for us. We will assess those change fees to customers who do not plan appropriately in advance or have needs that arise last minute. We regret that we must pass this cost onto you, but we operate on very narrow margins as is.
- Bar Service is only for catering customers who order at least $300 worth of margaritas (3 gallons or 60 portions). Bar service is for three hours, starts a half-hour before dinner, and ends a half-hour after dinner. We charge $200 per bartender. If you furnish the materials/supplies for other beverages, our bartenders can also serve those drinks.
- The Baller taco cart takes 1.5 hours to set up on-site and prepare your meal. If you need our team to set up early, we can arrive up to one hour earlier for an additional $150. Because the Jefe has hot food transported from our kitchen, we do not offer an early setup.
Why do we charge a service fee?
The 20% service fee goes directly to our serving staff and kitchen staff to compensate them fairly and equitably for their hard work to prepare, package, and deliver the catered meals.
