How to Host the Ultimate Backyard Fiesta
Summer’s here, and that means it’s time to fiesta like there’s no mañana! Whether you’re gathering with friends, throwing a neighborhood block party, or planning an epic office bash, one thing’s for sure: no one wants to be stuck behind the grill. That’s where we come in.
Chevys Fresh Mex is here to turn your backyard shindig into a flavor-packed celebration—with tacos, tamales, wings, and margaritas made to make your guests say “¡Olé!” From buffet-style catering to Fiesta Platters To-Go, and even a full-on food truck in Annapolis, we bring the fun (and the food) straight to you.
Here’s how to pull off your most delicioso summer party yet.
Lock in Your Guest List & Game Plan
Before you start stocking up on guac and salsa, get that guest list locked down. Summer calendars fill up fast, so send invites about three weeks in advance. Weekends are ideal for backyard hangs with friends and family, while office fiestas usually work better during the week.
Need a vibe check? Late afternoon is great for cooling off with margaritas while the sun sets. Kids’ parties? Start earlier when there’s more energy to burn.
Food First, Questions Later
Planning a party? Rule number one: feed the people. Great food sets the tone, and if it’s not delish, your fiesta might fizzle. Lucky for you, we’ve got options for groups big and small.
Feeding a small crew? Our Fiesta Platters To-Go are perfect for your close circle. Tacos, enchiladas, tamales—whatever your flavor, we’ve got it prepped and ready to party. Just scale up as needed.
Hosting the whole block? Go big with our buffet-style catering. Whether it’s a taco bar, fajita spread, or something in between, we bring the goods: your choice of proteins, fresh toppings, warm tortillas, and all the sides you crave. You just bring the people (and maybe some napkins).
Bring the Party to You (Literally)
Want to really impress the crowd? Book the Chevys Fresh Mex Food Truck. Based in Annapolis, our truck pulls up with tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more—all hot, fresh, and ready to devour.
Perfect for birthdays, corporate events, or block parties, the food truck adds that extra wow factor. But fair warning—it books up fast. Check availability online and get your date locked down ASAP.
Deck Out Your Backyard Like a Pro
Now that the food’s handled, let’s talk setup. Give your yard a glow-up: clean off the patio furniture, throw up some string lights, and maybe even bring in a few planters for a pop of color. Renting tables or seating? Line it up early.
Planning for sun or shade? Tents and umbrellas keep guests comfy. Hosting after dark? Light it up! Citronella torches = bonus bug protection. And don’t forget the essentials—like a restroom plan if your house can’t handle the crowd.
Your Fiesta, Your Location
Backyard not quite big enough? No worries. Your summer fiesta doesn’t have to be tied to your lawn. Think outside the yard—Chevys travels! Set up shop at your local park, plan a poolside party, or close off a cul-de-sac for a neighborhood block bash. Our catering and food truck options work wherever the fun takes you, so you’re free to focus on the party and let us handle the plates.
Entertainment, Pero Make It Fun
Set the mood with music (your summer playlist or a live DJ—both work), and bring the vibes with backyard games. Cornhole, ring toss, or even a DIY piñata station will keep guests busy between bites.
For the little ones, throw together a craft station or mini parade with homemade maracas. Want memories that last longer than your leftovers? Set up a photo booth with props and a custom hashtag.
