    Quick Answer

    Who delivers office lunch catering in Redlands, CA?

    Chapala Cafe & Grill delivers office lunch catering to Redlands, CA — Mexican trays and build-your-own taco bars for team lunches, client meetings, trainings and holiday parties, delivered hot at your meeting time with plates, utensils and napkins included. Invoicing is available for recurring accounts. Call (909) 871-8620.

    Office catering is judged on punctuality before it is judged on flavor. A tray that arrives ten minutes into a meeting has already failed. We deliver to Redlands businesses at the time you give us, in hot pans that hold through a working lunch, with disposable service already in the box.

    Redlands books us for offsites and weddings more than weekday lunches — the ask is usually "something real, not sandwich platters," which is exactly the brief a taco bar answers. Popular orders here: a two-meat taco bar, carne asada and pollo trays with rice and beans, and breakfast burrito trays for early trainings. Esri-area company offsites, University of Redlands department events and garden weddings are the three Redlands jobs we quote most.

    We cook everything at 15891 Foothill Blvd, Fontana, CA 92335 and drive it the 10 east past Loma Linda. Redlands is a longer run, so we set a minimum order that makes the trip worth the drive and quote the delivery fee up front instead of surprising you on the invoice.

    Why Chapala?

    • Delivered hot at your exact meeting time
    • Two-meat taco bars, asada and pollo trays, breakfast burrito trays
    • Vegetarian trays included so nobody on the team is left out
    • Weekly and monthly accounts with invoicing for Redlands businesses

    Since day one in Fontana

    Who cooks your food — and who we cook it for

    A family kitchen on Foothill Blvd

    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.

    Cooked from scratch, every single day

    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.

    Breakfast, lunch, dinner and catering under one roof

    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.

    Events we actually cater

    Quinceañeras & weddings

    100–500+ guests

    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.

    Church & congregation events

    Fellowship lunches, men's and women's breakfasts, funerals and holiday gatherings with quiet setup and invoicing.

    Schools & districts

    Staff appreciation lunches, in-service days, banquets and graduation events delivered to the bell schedule with PO billing.

    Offices & corporate

    10–200 employees

    Recurring weekly team lunches, client meetings and holiday parties delivered hot at the meeting time.
