To Go Appetizers - Taste Drop-off / Pick-up Platters

$40-75 dollars

Platters without a number of indicated quantity are suitable for approximately 40 people.
When placing your order, please specify whether you wish to pick up the platters 'hot' or desire to heat them yourself at home.
In the case of all drop-off platters there is a delivery fee of $60 added to the invoice, for all Albuquerque city limit destinations.


For most events, we utilize reusable platters. We are also happy to use platters that you provide for us ahead of time.  As a third option, Taste can also present your appetizers on our ornamental ceramic, metal & melamine house platters with the completion of a simple contract and $75 deposit.
