Did you know, at Fiesta we do not just hold private functions, we also do external catering?

If you are thinking of hosting a Mexican themed party or celebration, look no further! Whether you are after Mexican finger food, or an adequate Mexican meal, we can provide both.

Our kitchen staff are excellent at preparing delicious Mexican food for all your catering needs in Melbourne. Events we have previously catered for include, work celebrations, EOFY parties, Christmas in July, Birthdays, Anniversaries and special occasions. Our catering service has provided areas of Melbourne CBD, Richmond, South Yarra, Toorak, Prahran and St Kilda or, we can also prepare the food onsite in your own kitchen! Please enquire.

Our food is made from the finest Melbourne ingredients. Many of our clients have enjoyed our Chips and salsa, Chili Con Carne, Chicken Flautas, Tacos, Vegetarian Fajitas and Churros for dessert.

We understand that it can be tricky and sometimes overwhelming organising food, for all your invited guests. Our catering menu has a wide range of gluten free, halal, vegetarian and vegan Mexican food options for all your guests to enjoy. For all other dietary requirements please contact us http://www.fiestamexican.com.au/

We can also provide non-alcohol or alcoholic beverages for your next catering event. For example, Mexican beers (cervezas) or a margarita machine. These options compliment well with your choices of Mexican dishes. Our Fiesta hot sauce is also great for those who like an extra kick of delicious hot spice (don’t worry it is not too hot, mild to medium).

If you are looking for some extra Mexican themed entertainment, we can also arrange a pinata filled with lollies waiting to burst for your guests to enjoy.

Need a hand at your event? We can lend you one of our fantastic Fiesta team members to assist you on your big night. We wouldn’t want you to be to stressed.

Day of the dead is a Mexican tradition that remembers and celebrates those who have passed away. El dia de los muertos is celebrated on November 1 & 2 of each year. On the 1^st of November “el dia de los innocentes” or the day of the children is celebrated and on the 2^nd of November celebrates “el dia de todas las almas” or all souls day.

What happens?

Makeup inspired by “sugar skulls” is worn by women and some men. The makeup consists of using bright colours, distinctive floral patterns and miscellaneous shapes to honour their loved ones.

As part of this tradition, Mexican’s believe their loved one’s spirits return. Those who are living place offerings at the cemetery or alter (created in an empty room in the home). Offerings such as the spirits personal belongs, favourite food, beverages, cigarette or toys for children. This gives a time for the living to share these items with them. Other items such as photos, wreaths, crosses, candles, flowers (marigolds) and pan de muerto (bread of the dead) are also used.

What does this represent?

It is believed, the spirits need food and light to guide them. The offerings are also suggested to represent four elements earth, wind, water and fire.

To celebrate el dia de los muertos at Fiesta, we will be offering special cocktails, so don’t miss out!
