Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between on-site catering and asado pick-up?

On-site catering is the premium format where we come to your event, set up, and cook live on site. Asado pick-up is a more flexible option where we prepare the food for you in advance and you pick it up ready to serve.

What types of events are best for premium on-site catering?

Premium on-site catering is ideal for weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, private parties, and celebrations where you want the fire, grilling, and presentation to be part of the guest experience.

Is asado pick-up more affordable?

In most cases, yes. Pick-up is generally a more budget-conscious option because it does not include on-site setup, live grilling, or event service time.

Do you provide beverages?

Beverages are not included unless specifically arranged in your proposal.

Can venues request proof of insurance?

Yes. A Certificate of Insurance can be provided upon request if your venue requires it.
