María Amezquita

«Tacos a domicilio para toda ocacion» states the slogan on the business card of María Amezquita. A family-​run operation that caters everything from quinceañeras to weddings to backyard bashes, Maria & Lucy are a reasonably priced, thoroughly-​prepared duo. Along with their sons, Daniel & Ernesto, they ensure that their spread is flavorful, authentic, clean — and with variety.
Their typical spread consists of three meats — pollo, asada, and your choice of carnitas or pastor — as well as a selection of sauces (handmade rojo and verde), cilantro, diced onions, radishes, etc. They provide plates, napkins and more meat than your guests will be able to eat.
Book them early because there’s only one team, and they’ll impress with their preparation, calling to confirm details well in advance, and know that they’ll show up on time and stay late. A true professional team and if you’re lucky enough to have them cater your event, you and your fiesta-​ing friends will be talking about them for a week.
