"Catering near me" is really three questions at once: do you deliver to my address, can you handle my headcount, and what will it cost. Here are all three answers before you have to call anyone.
Delivery: we cook at 15891 Foothill Blvd in Fontana and drive roughly 20 to 25 miles in any direction. That covers Fontana, Rialto, Bloomington, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Colton, Jurupa Valley, San Bernardino, Highland, Redlands, Loma Linda, Grand Terrace, Upland, Riverside, Eastvale and Chino. Farther than that we can still do it, but we set a minimum order so the drive makes sense for both of us. Headcount: 10 guests to 500-plus. Price: about $12 to $22 per person depending on how many meats and whether you add seafood.
Notice: 24 to 48 hours for most trays, 48 hours for anything with raw seafood, and a week or more for events over 100 guests or peak dates like December weekends and June graduation Saturdays. Call (909) 871-8620 with your date, guest count and city and we will quote it the same day.

Since day one in Fontana
Chapala Cafe & Grill is family owned and family run at 15891 Foothill Blvd in Fontana. The name comes from Lake Chapala in Jalisco — the region our recipes come from, and the reason you will find Guadalajara staples like tortas ahogadas, carne en su jugo and birria de res on the menu next to coastal Sinaloa-style aguachiles.
Birria is simmered overnight so the beef pulls apart by morning. Salsas are ground in house daily. Mariscos are cut and dressed to order rather than pre-mixed. Nothing is bought pre-made and reheated — that is the difference guests taste and the reason Chapala holds a 4.4-star Google rating across hundreds of Fontana reviews.
Most Fontana restaurants pick a lane. Chapala runs a full Mexican desayuno menu from 8 AM, a lunch and dinner menu of tacos, molcajetes and traditional plates, a complete mariscos program, and a catering operation that feeds crews, congregations, offices, weddings and quinceañeras across the Inland Empire.
Taco bars, birria and carne asada stations plus late-night taco service for receptions across Fontana and the Inland Empire.
Early breakfast burrito and chilaquiles trays delivered to crew call times, then hot lunch taco bars on the tailgate.
Fellowship lunches, men's and women's breakfasts, funerals and holiday gatherings with quiet setup and invoicing.
Staff appreciation lunches, in-service days, banquets and graduation events delivered to the bell schedule with PO billing.
Recurring weekly team lunches, client meetings and holiday parties delivered hot at the meeting time.
Build-your-own taco bars with kid-friendly and vegetarian options so every generation eats well.
