Lupita's Tacos were incredible - I've received positive feedback from attendees! The food was great! I really appreciated the pre-packaging, it made everything go by so smoothly and the line was never too long. And communication up to the event was great. My one suggestion would be to label the pre-packaging so people know what type of meat is inside the burritos/tacos, instead of having to open each container. But other than that, amazing! Will definitely keep them in mind for future events :)

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sandwiches were great- sauces were really good!- coleslaw perfect for sandwich topping. Mac and cheese was terrible.
