Celebrate Cinco De Mayo with a party this year, and use Qdoba catering for the most delicious, hands off, easy set up party, and did I mention delicious? It’s party time, or, in this case, FIESTA time! And, if you live in Milwaukee, Madison or Fox Valley areas, definitely don’t forget to enter the HUGE giveaway for Qdoba catering!
It’s no secret I love Mexican food. I made black bean pie last Friday, and then before that: steak fajita tacos for two, slow cooker chicken tacos, Mexican hot chocolate caramel cookies, Mexican chocolate and raspberry bread pudding to name a few. You name the meal or snack time (morning, lunch, dinner, dessert) and I’ve got you covered.
I love Mexican flavors, the secret hints of spice, the fresh veggies (hello salsa and queso!) and the smooth cheeses.
But when I want Mexican food and flavors on the go, I turn to Qdoba. My fave! If you have been following my blog for a little while, you’ll have heard me rave about them and then rave some more. There’s just something about getting fresh flavors and delicious food that I don’t have to cook that really appeals to me.
So when I was getting my favorite Qdoba lunch order the other day I was walking out of the restaurant and saw a sign for their catering.
I immediate thought of the upcoming holiday Cinco de Mayo.
Last year I wanted to have a party, but time just flew and I never got around to it.
Having someone else do all the cooking and set up? THAT I can always handle!
So I gave Qdoba catering a call and before I knew it, I had a naked burrito bowl catering party planned.
Qdoba catering walked me through the whole process, they helped with suggestions on what to order and quantities needed, they walked me through what would happen day of and the amount of space I needed. I was so surprised that I literally wouldn’t have to do anything.
‘Do I need to have anything ready for the catering?’ I asked the operator.
‘Nope, just have about 6 feet of free counter space and we’ll do the rest.’
So of course I got into the theme and bought some decorations (from my suggestions I had made last year? Yeah I went ahead and bought those decorations – I mean, a piñata in a necessity, is it not?)
A few days before the party I received a confirmation email outlining my order, then day of the party I received a call from the delivery driver confirmed arrival time and who showed up exactly when he said he was going to.
From the moment he arrived until he finished setting up, it was like a whirlwind of food setting up perfection…except with no mess left and everything ready to go. He set up everything, he labeled everything, he left instructions for everything, he cleaned up everything, he organized everything. The set up and entire process was so efficient…wishes were swirling around in my head that every party would be that easy!
And because the lovely folks over at Qdoba and I want YOU to experience how amazing the catering is, there’s a huge giveaway for those that live in the Milwaukee, Madison, or Fox Valley areas: 1 winner will win a free 20-person catering bar, and then 1 winner will win a 10-person chip and queso bar! To enter the giveaway visit the Qdoba Wisconsin Catering website to see catering bar options and offerings and answer the question – what would your cinco de mayo menu look like?

Nina says
I love, love Qdoba. My favorite thing while there are the 3 cheese nachos! But I know my guests would like the opportunity to have a burrito, so I’d take the hot naked burrito bar because it is the best of both worlds! I love guac on everything so that with the cheese sauce and some salsa, some steak and chicken mixed on top because why not have both? Put that on top of tortilla chips and some black beans! Yummmmm!
Sweetphi says
You are speaking my language…3 cheese nachos are my fave!! But who am I kidding…any food from Qdoba is amazing! Thanks for entering 🙂
Mabelle @ Ma Bella Vita says
wow! all of that looks so incredibly delicious. is making me hungry! I always tell people my #1 favorite food is anything mexican #2 is sushi (I know, random). Wish we knew each other better, I would have invited myself to that party lol 🙂 We dont have Qdobas here in NYC (at least I dont know where). Wish they did.
Sweetphi says
Your #2 is totally not random at all, i looooove sushi! I happen to have lucked out in having an awesome father in law who loves sushi and we get sushi for family meals sometimes, it’s pretty amazing lol. And you are welcome at any party 🙂 Mexican food always is my #1 though, there’s just something incomparable to good chips and guac…and queso…and tacos lol 🙂
David says
I would get the seasoned brown rice, all three salsa varieties, the cheese, sour cream and guacamole with their hand made tortilla chips.
Sweetphi says
That sounds like one delicious burrito bowl (and one of course can’t forget those chips!) Thanks for commenting and entering!
Kim says
naked burrito bar and don’t forget the 3 cheese queso…. mmm mmmm
Sweetphi says
Naked burritos are the best, aren’t they? If you get chips it’s like having loaded nachos too lol. Thanks for commenting 🙂
steworastory says
Can never get enough Mexican-inspired food! This would be a delicious idea for a lunch party!

Mexican inspired food is just the best, isn’t it? I think I could literally eat Mexican food every night and never get sick of it!
