We had a taco party where all the food was dropped off 2 hours before to be reheated.

Nothing was labeled and there were no instructions. We were able to figure out a couple of things but we definitely heated something that shouldn't have been heated. Maybe the food to be heated should have had foil and the cold things should have been cling wrapped? Something to make it easy for us.

As there were no labels, we had to repeatedly tell people what we thought was what and what dishes we thought were vegan and vegetarian. I spoke to a few vegetarian employees who now tell me they only ate the salads because they didn't know what was safe for them

Here is the reality, I never had anyone tell me they enjoyed the food, and we threw away more food at this event than we ever have. In the 10 years we've been doing these events, we've never had as negative a response to the catering as this year. Everyone did like the Jacama salad though.

One thing I found interesting was I asked for a certain dish to not have cheese in it and was told that it is not possible. I'm not sure how that makes sense but I was told twice that it was premade, apparently weeks in advance? Or is it purchased from a supplier premade?

I can't speak to their regular catering as it looks like many others enjoy their food, but I believe that the taco party is one to avoid. And definitely avoid the cactus if you do choose to have a taco party. It was really not very good at all.

I think we could have easily prepared as good or better food for a lot less money and without a lot of effort. The taco party was a bust.
