Breakfast Catering in Orange County That Isn't Bagels Again
Most morning meetings run on the same box of bagels and a lukewarm coffee carafe. If you're looking for breakfast catering in Orange County that people will actually show up early for, breakfast tacos are a pretty good answer. The Lime Truck pulls up, cooks to order, and serves hot food while your team gets settled.
Here's what's on our breakfast menu, how the packages work, and what kinds of OC morning events they fit.
The breakfast packages
We have two, both listed on our breakfast catering packages menu.
Breakfast Taco Package
Each guest picks two tacos and a side. Taco choices:
- Steak and Eggs Taco: steak, eggs, cilantro chimichurri, crispy wontons, and sesame seeds. A little spicy.
- Chicken or the Egg Taco: braised chicken, tomato pico de gallo, eggs, chipotle honey aioli, cotija cheese, and zesty guacamole.
- Shrooms with Eggs Taco: ponzu-marinated mushrooms, eggs, twice-fried peewee potatoes, cilantro chimichurri, and zesty guacamole.
- Egg(cellent) Taco: eggs, twice-fried peewee potatoes, cilantro chimichurri, and zesty guacamole.
The side is House Chips and Pico. You can add poblano cheese sauce or chorizo.
Signature Breakfast Package
One trip to the truck per guest, with two tacos or one entree plus a side. The entrees are the Epic Breakfast Burrito (your choice of protein, eggs, crispy tots, tomatillo pico de gallo, zesty guac, and chipotle honey aioli) and Steak Breakfast Nachos. Tacos are the Chicken or the Egg and the Shrooms with Eggs. Sides are House Chips and Pico or Tater Tots.
Our full breakfast menu also has a Breakfast Quesadilla, cold brew coffee, and fresh-squeezed OJ.
What's included
Our breakfast packages include two hours of on-site service. You can add extras like fresh juice, coffee service, and dessert. Everything is cooked with zero seed oils through our partnership with Zero Acre Farms, and packages can be customized for your group and dietary needs. More on the breakfast catering page.
Morning events that work well with a truck
Team kickoffs and all-hands. Feed people before the meeting starts and they're in a better mood for it.
Trainings and offsites. A hot breakfast at 8 beats a sad pastry tray at 10.
School and parent events. Breakfast tacos are easy for kids and adults alike.
Brunch weddings and showers. Breakfast tacos next to churros is a strong combo.
Morning fundraisers and community events. Fast service keeps the line moving before the program starts.
Holiday breakfasts. With the holidays coming up, a breakfast thank-you is a nice alternative to an evening party, especially for teams that won't stay late in December.
What a breakfast morning looks like
We get there well ahead of your service window so the truck is set up and cooking before your first guest walks over. Everything is cooked to order, so the burritos are hot and the eggs aren't sitting in a chafing dish. Our crew keeps the line moving, and we clean up when we're done.
If your morning runs into lunch, ask about combining the two. Our brunch menu mixes breakfast tacos with our signature quesadillas, and we can build a menu that covers a long morning without switching caterers.
Planning for a crowd
Feeding 20 people and feeding 200 are both doable. For a bigger group, tell us how the morning flows. A team that all breaks at 8:30 needs a different setup than a training where people trickle in over an hour. We'll plan the menu and the service window around it.
Why OC is the easy part
We're from here. The Lime Truck started in Irvine in 2010, and our kitchen, team, and trucks are still based in Orange County. That makes early starts in Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Tustin, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Lake Forest, and the rest of the county simpler for us than for a caterer driving in.
OC is also the only place we offer drop-off catering without the truck. If your breakfast meeting is in a conference room with no space for a truck, ask about drop-off. Our Orange County catering page covers more on what we do around the county.
Planning tips for a morning 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.
- Flag dietary needs. The Shrooms with Eggs and Egg(cellent) tacos are meat-free, and we customize for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free guests.
- Check truck space. We need a flat, level spot about 30 feet by 12 feet with roughly 14 feet of clearance, plus an outlet or room for a quiet generator.
- Book early for holiday dates. Two to four weeks works for most events. December fills faster.
How to book
Send your date, address, headcount, and service window through our catering request form, or call (949) 232-0690. Our team usually gets back to you within 24 hours with a custom proposal.
