Santa Monica packs a lot into a small footprint. A backyard wedding off Montana, a company party in a Downtown office, a birthday in Ocean Park — the events are close together and the parking never is. We plan around that so you don't have to.
Every taco is made to order in front of your guests, with original Kon-Tiki recipes and the island-inspired flavors that come from our Peruvian and Polynesian roots. Fresh ingredients, never frozen, cooked on site rather than trucked in finished.
It's your party. Your attention belongs on your guests, not on your catering company. We take care of the rest.

Small Yards, Tight Streets, No Problem
Most Santa Monica events happen in spaces that weren't designed for catering — a courtyard, a compact backyard, a rooftop deck. Our carts are built to work in exactly that footprint, and we'd rather walk the space with you beforehand than improvise on the day.
Worth knowing on permits: an event held entirely on private property usually doesn't need a Community Event Permit, though the city may require a Temporary Use Permit, which should be filed at least two weeks ahead. Events on public sites with 150 guests or more do need a Community Event Permit. We're fully licensed and insured and will provide whatever documentation your venue or planner needs.
From an intimate gathering of 40 to a company event of 2,000, we scale with more carts and more crew — never with lower standards. Meat, seafood and vegan options so every guest is taken care of, and full setup and cleanup included.
Events We Cater in Santa Monica
Backyard & Home Events
Weddings, milestone birthdays and anniversaries in Santa Monica backyards and courtyards. We work comfortably in tight spaces and leave the place as we found it.
Corporate & Office
Team lunches, launches, holiday parties and client events across Downtown and the tech offices. We've served everyone from USC to major health systems, and we make the person who booked us look good.
Beachside Celebrations
Welcome parties, rehearsal dinners and gatherings near the coast. Events on public beaches are permitted through LA County rather than the city — tell us your site and we'll plan around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
All the time. We just need a level spot for the cart and a way to get it there. If access is tight — a narrow side gate, stairs, an alley entrance — tell us in advance and we'll plan the setup around it.
Santa Monica parking is the part people forget. Let us know the address early and we'll sort out where the cart stages and how the crew loads in, rather than working it out on the day.
Events entirely on private property usually don't need a Community Event Permit, though a Temporary Use Permit may apply and should be filed about two weeks ahead. Public sites with 150 or more guests do need a permit. Your venue or planner will normally handle it, and we'll supply our licensing and insurance documentation.
Anywhere from 40 to 2,000 and up. Larger events simply mean more carts and more crew, and the food comes out just as fresh.
Peak season runs May through October and Saturdays fill up first. A few months of lead time is comfortable for a wedding. Weekday corporate events can often be arranged sooner — call us at 888.558.9515.
