Does anyone know what Bulgarini/Guerilla/RFT want as minimums?
Itâs likely gone up, but here was the Guerrilla catering rundown when I inquired in 2015 (but I didnât get the to phase of figuring out a minimum. As I recall, my emails went unanswered lulz):
The catering base rate starts at $20.00 per person and includes 3 tacos per person, service running for 2 hours, and standard utensils and plating. The $20.00 starting rate includes a choice of 3 menu items from the listing below:
Vegetarian:
* Sweet potato & Oaxacan cheese
* Celery root, fruit compote chile
* Artichokes & red pepper escabeche
* Cauliflower, dates, castleveltrano olives
Beef:
* 7bone braised beef
* Short rib
* Chile Colorado
* Rib eye
Pork:
* Chile verde pork
* Pork shoulder
Chicken:
* Mole
* Anjonjoli sesame seed tomato sauce
Fish/ seafood ($25 per person instead of $20)
* Octopus
* Shrimp
Specialty items ($27 per person instead of $20)
* Wild aji tuna
* Wild salmon ceviche
* Kampachi sashimi
I wasnât in charge of the details, but from what understand it was $1000 to start, and then up from there.
Eh weâd probably be looking at a minimum $50pp for a guerilla/RFT/Bulgarini bang^3 event.
Doesnât sound too awful until you realize youâre dropping $50 for 5 tacos and some gelato.
Make it so, someoneâŚ

Hi @Ns1,
I just checked with a friend of a friend of mine who hired Rickyâs Fish Tacos for a party. They said it was really reasonable, something like 20 person minimum at $8 per person. But this was 2 years ago, so prices might have changed. Not bad though.
(And I was there⌠Ricky made his amazing Fish Tacos and Shrimp Tacos (and they tasted even better IMHO than his Taco Truck.)
k, so the information is more readily available than I thought:
1k minimum, packages start at $25pp
RFT
There were a couple of options for ordering, either by the taco with a minimum amount required or an all-you-can-eat fish taco option requiring at least 40 people
Thatâs probably a minimum of $600 @ $15pp
Bulgarini, about $1k minimum per ipsedexitâs notes above.
So, cost for food alone is probably in the realm of $50pp. Iâd be interested in wrapping this up as a fundraiser for my wifeâs non-profit, tickets would be $75 and you can BYOB. Iâd have to invite non FTCâers to get to the #'s required to make this work.
location would be our facility in Chatsworth.
thoughts?
for reference, JLâs meetup @ Batusi was also $75pp + gratuity âat your discretionâ.
Hi @Ns1,
Thanks for the sleuthing update. I guess Rickyâs raised up the minimum from my friendâs party a few years ago. They had only about 25 - 30 people show up if I remember correctly. Good to know.
Where were you able to get the information on Rickyâs? Have done some searching in the past but couldnât find.
Thatâs the googled info. Iâd rather not reach out unless thereâs some interest at the above listed cost.
While $50 for 5 tacos and some gelato ainât cheap, I actually think itâs fine. I mean, there all gonna be in one location! Iâm interested (but preferably some time in the summer b/c the next few wks for me are gawd awful!). I also might have time to assist w/ planning during the summerâŚ
Are you kidding? Youâd know first. Iâd find a way to use a trumpet.
This sounds like the perfect opportunity for a Howlinâ Rayâs + Bulgarini bang bang!
This thread makes me feel kind of bad that I live less than three miles from Bulgarini yet only go a few times a year.
Okay so, that is a crime. My sister lives close and she says the same thing.
Hah! Taking a staycation soon, hopefully. "Weâll do an âIâll Have What Chowseeker1999 is Havingâ food crawl.
LOL! No no, I just hope you get to try more delicious eats around L.A.
