Frequently Asked Questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our team.
- How far in advance should I book the food truck?
- We recommend booking Korea Taqueria at least 2-4 weeks before your event date. Food trucks in Philadelphia book quickly during peak seasons (Spring and Fall), so earlier is always better. For large corporate events with 100+ guests, 30 days advance notice ensures menu availability and proper staffing.
- What types of events do you cater?
- Korea Taqueria caters corporate lunches, office parties, employee appreciation events, team building gatherings, company picnics, community festivals, university events, government functions, holiday parties, and private celebrations throughout Philadelphia and surrounding areas.
- Is there a minimum order or guest count?
- Yes, Korea Taqueria has a minimum order of $937.50. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing, travel to your Philadelphia location, and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider our attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
- What is included in the catering price?
- Your catering quote from Korea Taqueria includes fresh food preparation, all serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), professional staff, setup and breakdown, and travel within the Philadelphia service area. Pricing is transparent with no hidden fees—you'll see the complete cost including taxes before confirming your booking.
- Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
- No utilities required. Korea Taqueria is completely self-sufficient with onboard generators, water tanks, and cooking equipment. Simply provide a flat, accessible parking spot (approximately 12x30 feet) and we handle everything else. This makes food truck catering ideal for outdoor venues, parking lots, parks, and locations without kitchen facilities.
- What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
- We always try our best to work with you (and the truck) the best we can. Rescheduling is the best option when weather hits but our cancellation policy is outlined above.
- Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options?
- We always try to cater to the customer's needs. Please reach out with specific dietary requests and we'll do our best to accommodate them.
- Are there allergy-conscious meals available?
- Yes, we accommodate allergy needs whenever possible. Please reach out with specific requirements and we'll work with you to ensure safe meal options for all guests.
