Salsarita’s Fresh Mexican Grill is a build-a-burrito counter, and its catering menu turns that counter into a bar for the office: a Taco Bar, a Fajita Bar, a Nacho Bar, a Taco Salad Bar and, at some storefronts, a Bowl Bar. Most offices order one bar and let the room build its own plate.
We read the brand’s catering page, then opened every catering item on its ordering site at all 45 storefronts. One line repeats on the page and on the form. Every Salsarita’s bar comes with two meats. The brand’s own description of the Taco Bar says it “comes with grilled chicken and ground beef”. The Fajita Bar “comes with grilled chicken and grilled steak”. The order form agrees: on the Taco, Nacho and Taco Salad bars, the protein line opens on a pair at every storefront, and at ten storefronts the pair is the only way to order the bar.
That is a useful starting point for an office. A room of twenty rarely agrees on one meat, and most bar menus make the second meat a decision you have to go looking for. At Salsarita’s the second meat is already on the tray, and the price the form shows for the pair is never higher than the price for the all-chicken setting. You change the pair only when the room eats one meat.

Four Bars at Every Storefront, a Fifth at Some
Salsarita’s lists its catering menu in sections: Catering Bars, Boxed Lunches, Fiesta Packs, Trays, Add-Ons, Catering Extras, Desserts and Beverages. You place the order online on the brand’s catering ordering site, from the storefront nearest the office. That site lists 45 storefronts, and every one takes online orders.
The Taco Bar, Fajita Bar and Nacho Bar appear at all 45. The Taco Salad Bar appears at 44. The Bowl Bar appears at 15. Each bar’s description reads the same at every storefront that lists it, and each one ends with the same two lines: chips and two house-made salsas, and utensils, plateware and serving items. The brand’s page puts each bar and each boxed lunch at groups of 15 or more.
| Section | What is in it | Storefronts that list it |
|---|---|---|
| Catering Bars | Taco Bar, Fajita Bar, Nacho Bar, Taco Salad Bar, Bowl Bar | 45 (Bowl Bar at 15) |
| Boxed Lunches | Burrito Boxed Lunch, Taco Salad Boxed Lunch, each with a personal portion of chips and salsa | 45 |
| Fiesta Packs | Fiesta Pack and Fiesta Pack Deluxe, a taco kit for up to five | 45 |
| Trays | Wrap Tray, Quesadilla Tray, Fuego Caesar Wrap Tray | 24 |
| Add-Ons | Queso, guacamole and salsa by the pint and quart, bean dip, queso fundido, salads, a party bag of chips | 45 |
| Catering Extras | Extra protein by the pound, shells and tortillas, toppings, dressing, pans of rice and beans | 43 |
| Desserts and Beverages | Cookies and brownies by the half dozen and dozen; gallons of tea and lemonade with cups, ice, lemons and sweeteners | 45 |
Every Bar Comes With Two Meats
Read the brand’s catering page and the phrase repeats. “Comes with grilled chicken and ground beef and everything you need to make your tacos”, says the Taco Bar. The Nacho Bar “comes with grilled chicken and ground beef”. The Taco Salad Bar “comes with grilled chicken and ground beef and all the fixin’s”. The Fajita Bar “comes with grilled chicken and grilled steak”. The Fiesta Packs list “grilled chicken & ground beef” as a line item, the same way they list tortillas.
Most bar menus describe the protein as a choice: pick chicken, or beef, or steak. Salsarita’s describes it as what the bar arrives with, and names two. The order form carries the same idea. On the Taco, Nacho and Taco Salad bars the one line you must answer is called “Select your protein combination”, and its first two answers are pairs.
| Bar | What the brand’s page says it comes with | What the order form asks | Storefronts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taco Bar | Grilled chicken and ground beef; soft flour tortillas and crispy corn shells | A pair or an all-one setting, beans, two salsas, queso or guacamole | 45 |
| Nacho Bar | Grilled chicken and ground beef; chips and queso | A pair or an all-one setting, beans, two salsas, guacamole | 45 |
| Taco Salad Bar | Grilled chicken and ground beef; crunchy taco salad bowls, two dressings | A pair or an all-one setting, beans, two salsas, queso or guacamole | 44 |
| Fajita Bar | Grilled chicken and grilled steak; fajita vegetables, soft flour tortillas | Two beans, two salsas, queso or guacamole; no protein question at 43 of 45 | 45 |
| Bowl Bar | Rice, romaine, beans, a protein, two salsas, a dressing | One all-one setting, beans, two salsas, a dressing | 15 |
So the planning rule is short. Take the pair the bar comes with, and change it only when the room eats one meat. That is the strength of a Salsarita’s order for an office: a bar brand that assumes the room wants a choice, and prices that choice as the starting line.
The Protein Line: Two Pairs and the All-One Settings
We opened the Taco Bar, Nacho Bar and Taco Salad Bar order forms at every storefront that lists them, 134 forms in all. Every one carries the protein line, and every one offers the same two pairs: Chicken and Ground Beef, and Chicken and Steak. Chicken is in both. The form never pairs ground beef with steak.
Below the pairs, most forms add three all-one settings: All Chicken, All Ground Beef and All Steak. Those appear on the Taco Bar and Nacho Bar at 35 of the 45 storefronts and on the Taco Salad Bar at 34 of the 44. At the other ten storefronts, the form offers the two pairs and nothing else, so the bar is ordered with two meats or not at all. A few storefronts add a pork pair as well.
| Setting on the protein line | Taco Bar | Nacho Bar | Taco Salad Bar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken and Ground Beef | 45 of 45 | 45 of 45 | 44 of 44 |
| Chicken and Steak | 45 of 45 | 45 of 45 | 44 of 44 |
| All Chicken, All Ground Beef, All Steak | 35 of 45 | 35 of 45 | 34 of 44 |
| The two pairs only | 10 of 45 | 10 of 45 | 10 of 44 |
The price sits on the same line, set by each storefront. Where a form shows a price for both the Chicken and Ground Beef pair and the All Chicken setting, the pair’s price is never higher than the All Chicken price. That held on every one of the 101 forms that showed both. Two meats is the entry line, not an upgrade, which is the fact that makes the pair the right default for a mixed room.
The Fajita Bar: The Pair With No Question
The Fajita Bar is the clearest case. Its description lists “Grilled Chicken & Grilled Steak” as a line item, with fajita vegetables, Mexican rice, two beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, chips, two salsas and the serving items. At 43 of the 45 storefronts the order form asks no protein question at all: you choose two beans, two salsas and whether to add queso or guacamole, and the chicken and steak are already on the tray. The two other storefronts offer a choice between Chicken and Steak and Chicken and BBQ Pork, which is still a pair.
For a room that likes steak, the Fajita Bar is the bar to order. It is the one bar where steak comes as standard, and it brings the sauteed peppers and onions that a taco bar does not.
The Bowl Bar: One Meat at a Time
The Bowl Bar is the exception that shows the rule. It appears at 15 storefronts, and its protein line offers all-one settings only: All Chicken, All Ground Beef, All Steak and, at 12 of the 15, All Plant Based Chorizo. It carries no pair. It also carries a third bean, pinto, and a dressing pick of Lime Vinaigrette or Jalapeno Ranch, because the bowl is built on rice and romaine rather than a shell.
That makes the Bowl Bar the one bar to reach for when the room eats one protein, and the one bar where Plant Based Chorizo is the protein for the whole bar. For a mixed room, the Taco, Nacho or Taco Salad bar with a pair does more than a Bowl Bar can.
Two Salsas on Every Bar
Every one of the 194 bar order forms we opened carries a Choose Two Salsas line, with a floor of one and a ceiling of two. The list behind it runs five to seven salsas, and it is the one place on the form where the two-of-something pattern repeats outside the meat. Medium Salsa, Hot Salsa and Pico de Gallo are on the list at every storefront.
| Salsa on the Choose Two Salsas line | Bar forms that list it (of 194) |
|---|---|
| Medium Salsa | 194 |
| Hot Salsa | 194 |
| Pico de Gallo | 194 |
| Mild Salsa | 186 |
| Pueblo Corn | 186 |
| Tomatillo Salsa Verde | 181 |
| Creamy Cholula Corn | 50 |
The Fiesta Packs ask the same question as two separate picks, Choose Your First Salsa and Choose Your Second Salsa, from a list without the tomatillo. The boxed lunches come with medium salsa and no pick. The Add-Ons section sells any salsa by the pint and quart if the room wants a third.

Boxed Lunches: One Protein Per Box
The Boxed Lunches section turns the bar into one box for each guest, and here the form asks for one protein at a time. The Burrito Boxed Lunch and the Taco Salad Boxed Lunch each offer Chicken, Ground Beef, Steak and Fajita Veggie at all 45 storefronts, and Plant Based Chorizo at 10. You enter a quantity against each protein, so a box order can carry three meats and the vegetable fajita filling in one line.
Each box comes with a personal portion of chips and medium salsa. The burrito box holds Mexican rice, black beans, tomatoes, sour cream and shredded cheese; the taco salad box holds romaine, black beans, tomatoes, cheese and sour cream in a crunchy shell, with a Lime Vinaigrette or Jalapeno Ranch pick. Boxes suit a meeting where people eat at their seats. A bar suits a room that eats together. Our guides to boxed lunch catering for meetings and boxed lunch, buffet or family style cover that choice for any menu.
Fiesta Packs, Trays and the Extras
The Fiesta Pack is the brand’s taco kit for up to five, sold on the catering site at every storefront. Its form keeps the two-meat idea and lets you pick each half: Select Your 1st Protein and Select Your 2nd Protein, from a list of Chicken, Ground Beef, Steak and Fajita Veggies at every storefront, Pork at 38 and Shrimp at 10. The Deluxe adds queso and guacamole. Two or three packs cover a small team that falls under the bar’s group size.
The Trays section, at 24 storefronts, holds a Wrap Tray of ten half wraps in chicken, steak or veggie, a Quesadilla Tray in cheese, chicken or steak, and a Fuego Caesar Wrap Tray. The Catering Extras section, at 43, sells more of what is already on the bar: extra protein by the pound, with chicken, ground beef and steak on every Extras form and Plant Based Chorizo on 31 of the 41 that carry the protein line; extra shells and tortillas; bags and tubs of toppings; dressing; and pans of rice and beans.
Read together, the sections give a mixed room three places to put a third protein: the second pair on a second bar, a pound from the Extras, or a run of boxed lunches with the protein each guest wants.
One Order for a Mixed Room
Put the rule to work on the order an office places most, a team lunch.
Start with the pair. Order the Taco Bar or Nacho Bar as it comes, with Chicken and Ground Beef, or choose Chicken and Steak if the room leans that way. Pick two beans where the form offers them and two salsas, with Medium and Pico de Gallo the safe pair for a room you do not know.
Add the Fajita Bar for a steak room. It arrives with chicken and steak and no decision to make, and the peppers and onions give the table a second look.
Cover the guests who skip meat. Add Plant Based Chorizo by the pound from the Extras, order a Bowl Bar set to All Plant Based Chorizo where a storefront lists it, or add boxed lunches with Fajita Veggie. Ask the restaurant about any specific diet before you order.
Add queso and guacamole. Both are add-on lines on the bar form and by the pint and quart in Add-Ons. The Nacho Bar is the one bar that brings queso with it.
Before you order, ask the room about allergies and diets. Our guide to ordering catering for mixed dietary needs covers how to collect that from a team. Speak to the restaurant directly about any serious allergy.

Where Salsarita’s Catering Fits
A Salsarita’s bar is casual, familiar food for a crowd that likes to build its own plate. It suits a team celebration, a happy hour, an all-hands or a lunch and learn. Our guide to a taco bar for the office covers the setup for any kitchen.
If your team knows other bar menus, the Chipotle catering guide, the QDOBA catering guide, the Moe’s Southwest Grill catering guide and the Torchy’s Tacos catering guide cover four of them, and the Pollo Tropical catering guide reads a menu where the extra meat is a line you add. For local catering partners, the directory has pages for Mexican and Tex-Mex food, menu pages for boxed meals and party platters, and the full catering directory.
A Better Option for Recurring Office Meals
Salsarita’s is good at a bar that arrives with two meats and feeds a mixed room from one tray. A team that eats together every week needs more than one menu.
Zerocater works the other way round. You describe the room once, including who skips meat and who wants a lighter plate, and CaterAi builds a menu from local catering partners that deliver to your address. It then rotates the menu so lunch changes week to week. Our office lunch ideas and office catering budget guide show what a rotation can look like, how it works walks through the steps, and our corporate catering page covers the service in full.
