Mexican catering in Chicago — done right
When you book Buena Vista for your event, you are not hiring a catering company — you are bringing a 20-year Lakeview institution to your table. The Ramirez family personally oversees every catering order, ensuring the same quality and authenticity that has kept our dining room full since 2004.
We serve events across Chicago including Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Wrigleyville, River North, The Loop, Gold Coast, Wicker Park, Logan Square, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Our bilingual team makes communication easy, and every package is fully customized to your occasion.
Common questions
What is the minimum order for catering?
Our smallest catering trays start at 20–30 units (party trays) and 15 servings (main dishes). We are happy to discuss your group size and find the right combination for your event.
How far in advance do I need to order?
We recommend reaching out at least 2 weeks before your event to ensure availability and give us time to prepare everything perfectly. For larger events we suggest 3–4 weeks.
Do you deliver across Chicago?
Yes — we serve events across the Chicago North Side including Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Wrigleyville, River North, Gold Coast, Wicker Park, Logan Square, and surrounding neighborhoods.
Can you accommodate dietary needs?
Yes. We offer vegetarian options across our menu and can accommodate specific dietary needs with advance notice. Just let us know when you get in touch.
Can I mix different items for my guests?
Absolutely. Most of our orders are custom combinations — a few trays, a main dish, and a couple of sides. We will help you build the right package for your group size and budget.
Do you offer recurring catering programs?
Yes — we work with offices and organizations on recurring weekly or monthly catering programs. Contact us to discuss options and availability.
