Breakfast Burrito Catering for Early Call Times and Morning Meetings

A breakfast burrito is the most practical breakfast there is. It's hot, it's filling, it holds together in one hand and it doesn't care if you're eating it in a conference room or standing next to a grip truck. That makes it a natural fit for a morning event with a food truck.

Here's how breakfast burrito food truck catering works with us, what's on the menu and how to plan it for an early call or a morning meeting.

Meet the Epic Breakfast Burrito

The Epic Breakfast Burrito is the newest item on our breakfast menu. It's built with your choice of protein, eggs, crispy tots, tomatillo pico de gallo, zesty guac and chipotle honey aioli.

The tots are the point. They give it crunch and make it a real meal instead of a scramble in a tortilla. The chipotle honey aioli brings a little sweet and a little heat, and the guac and pico keep it fresh.

Like everything on the truck, it's cooked to order. Nobody's unwrapping a foil burrito that's been sitting in a hotel pan since 5 AM.

The rest of the breakfast menu

Not everyone wants a burrito, so the breakfast menu has range:

• Breakfast tacos: Steak and Eggs, Chicken or the Egg, Shrooms with Eggs and Egg(cellent)
• Breakfast Nachos: your choice of protein with poblano cheese sauce, scrambled eggs, tomatillo pico de gallo, zesty guacamole and cotija cheese
• Breakfast Quesadilla: protein, eggs, cheddar, tomatillo pico de gallo, chipotle honey aioli and cotija
• Tater Tots with our signature seasoning
• Cold brew coffee and fresh-squeezed OJ

The Shrooms with Eggs and Egg(cellent) tacos are both meat-free, and we customize for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free guests.

How the breakfast packages work

There are two breakfast catering packages:

• Breakfast Taco Package. Each guest picks two tacos and a side.
• Signature Breakfast Package. One trip to the truck per guest, with the Epic Breakfast Burrito or Steak Breakfast Nachos, or two tacos, plus a side.

If you want the burrito on the menu, the Signature Breakfast Package is the one to ask about.

Our breakfast packages include two hours of on-site service, and you can add extras like fresh juice, coffee service and dessert. Every package can be customized for your event and your guests' dietary needs.

Breakfast for early call times

Production days don't run 9 to 5, and neither do we. For film, TV, commercial and music video shoots, we work around your call sheet: early-morning breakfasts before call, mid-day meals and late-night wraps. Share your call sheet when you inquire and we'll build service times around it. See our film and production catering page for more on how we work with productions.

A burrito works especially well on set. Crew members can grab one, eat on the move and get back to work. If you're feeding departments that come in at different times, tell us how the morning flows so we can plan the window around it.

A few things that help on production days:

• Send the location early. We'll confirm logistics for sets and remote locations, especially ones farther out.
• Give us a crew count range. We scale for a 30-person crew or a few hundred.
• Flag dietary needs by department if you have them. Every menu includes vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options.

One thing to know up front: we're not a dedicated craft-services company. We're an award-winning food truck that's a great fit for crew meals, wrap parties and on-set service. If you need all-day snacks and coffee at the monitors, plan for craft services alongside us.

Breakfast for morning meetings

Not every early morning is a shoot. Our breakfast menu also works for corporate breakfast meetings, team kickoffs, trainings, morning fundraisers and school events. Feeding 20 or 200, we've got a breakfast package that fits.

A breakfast burrito is an easy sell for a morning meeting. It's a real meal, people can eat it while they talk and it beats another box of bagels. For a bigger group, the way the morning flows matters. A team that all breaks at the same time needs a different setup than a training where people trickle in over an hour.

If your morning runs into lunch, ask about brunch. We can serve breakfast items in the morning and move to our lunch menu, or mix and match however you'd like. For more on office events, see our corporate catering page.

A holiday breakfast instead of a holiday party

With December coming up, a breakfast can be a good way to say thanks to a team. Plenty of people don't want to stay late for an evening party in December, but a lot of people will happily show up for a hot breakfast burrito at the start of the day. It's also easier to fit into a work schedule. Feed people, say a few words and everyone's back at their desks by mid-morning.

If you go this route, book early. December dates are in the highest demand, for breakfast and everything else. For more holiday options, see our holiday catering page.

What a breakfast service looks like

On the day, the crew arrives 30 minutes before your event start time to set up. The truck is ready and cooking by the time your first guest walks over, and everything is made to order.

For the spot, we need a flat, level area about 30 feet long by 12 feet wide with about 14 feet of overhead clearance. A standard outlet nearby works, or we can run a quiet generator. Our team handles setup, service and cleanup.

Planning tips for a breakfast burrito event

• Pick your service window first. Tell us when food should be ready, not just when the event starts.
• Give us a headcount range. "40 to 50" is fine to start.
• Decide burrito, tacos or both. It helps us plan the package and the line.
• Book early for December. December dates are in the highest demand. Two to four weeks is usually enough for most events.
