Provide a selection of soft and hard taco shells, as well as lettuce wraps for a healthier option.
2. Slider Station
Mini sliders are a crowd-pleasing option for a DIY catering menu. Prepare a variety of sliders using different proteins such as beef, chicken, and fish, along with a selection of cheeses, toppings, and condiments. Serve them on mini buns or lettuce wraps for a customizable dining experience.

Welcome to On The Roll! We are a catering company owned and operated by a close-knit group of women driven by a common passion for exceptional food and an unwavering commitment to treat every client like a cherished friend. As young girls, we watched our mothers and grandmothers transform ordinary ingredients into extraordinary feasts. They weren’t just cooking; they were crafting experiences, weaving tales, and creating memories that lingered long after the last bite. We infuse every event with the same spirit of camaraderie and warmth that we grew up with. Whether it’s a Fortune 500 company corporate event, or the conferences hosted by some of the best universities, a wedding celebration or an opening gala thrown by the museums, or an intimate get together of friends and families in a cozy backyard – we approach any of those occasions not as caterers but as good friends who are eager to make your event both enjoyable and unforgettable.
