Graduation party catering: a simple guide

Planning a grad party in metro Denver? How to choose between a burrito bar, a taco bar and box lunches, and how much to order.

By the Renegade Burrito team · Draft for owner review · October 26, 2026

Pick a format that fits an open house

Grad parties usually run as open houses, with guests arriving over several hours. A burrito or street taco bar works well because it stays self-serve.

Estimate the headcount

Count invited households and assume not everyone eats a full meal at the same time. The catering estimate calculator uses each location's listed prices to give you a starting number.

Order early in May and June

Graduation weekends are busy. Request a quote as soon as you set a date, and give at least 48 hours' notice for catering bars.

Chips, dips and dessert

Catering chips with salsa, queso or guac for 10 or 20, plus cookies or churro chips, cover the snack table.

Pickup or delivery

Pick up from the nearest Renegade, or ask about delivery with setup. Delivery fees vary by distance.
