Entrée Platters

Corporate catering spread with tacos, chimichangas, Mexican salad, and salsa bowls on a wood table.

Crunchy Taco Platter — Serves 10 (20 Tacos)

These are not your average hard-shell tacos; each one is fried by hand, one by one, and filled with shredded chicken or shredded beef, and topped with cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. A recipe that has been perfected over three generations.

Mini Chimichanga Platter — Serves 15 (40 Mini Chimis)

Bite-sized but mighty, each chimichanga is crispy, hand-rolled burrito, flash-fried to golden perfection with your choice of three filling options: grilled chicken, shredded beef, or bean-and-cheese (vegetarian). Don't let their small size fool you, these chimis are very filling and will have people raving long after the party ends.

Rolled Tacos Platter (Taquitos) — Serves 10 (40 Taquitos)

The perfect finger food for any occasion, we take corn tortillas, fill them with shredded chicken and shredded beef, roll them tight and fry them until they’re GBD (golden brown and delicious). The result is a platter of crunchy, snackable tacos that adds fun variety to your menu.

Enchilada Platter — Serves 10 (20 Enchiladas)

We roll soft corn tortillas around your choice of filling, cheese (for a vegetarian option), shredded chicken or shredded beef, and smother them in your choice of red or green enchilada sauce. If you're aiming for a true Mexican comfort food, don't forget the enchiladas.

Tamale Platter — Serves 6 (12 Tamales)

Tamales are a Carmen’s specialty. What makes them special? “More meat than masa.”, we never skimp on the filling. We include a mix of flavors so you can savor them all: red chile beef, red chile pork, green chile chicken, and cheesy green chile corn tamales (a gluten-free, vegetarian favorite). If you want to experience authentic Mexican comfort food at its best, this platter is a must.
