Pop-Up Holiday Catering

Fidel Gastro's and Lisa Marie Bring Delicious Food to Toronto Events

— November 14, 2017 — Lifestyle
If you're looking to take your holiday party menu beyond a simple selection of crackers and cheeses, Lisa Marie and Fidel Gastro’s have the perfect solution. Specializing in "unique and fun food experiences," the Toronto-based restaurant and food truck help to turn any event into an unforgettable dining experience.

The Fidel Gastro’s Street Food Company is a catering company that originally began as a series of pop-up food events hosted across Toronto. Today, the company covers everything from birthdays and bat mitzvahs, to holiday parties and weddings. To meet the unique needs of each event, the company provides a range of caterings options, including food stations, buffets, passed appetizers, and even family-style sit down meals. In other words, the next wedding you attend could feature a selection of indulgent BBQ eats, instead of the same old choice between chicken and fish.

To service these special events across the city, the company relies on an eye-catching food truck lovingly named Priscilla II. Priscilla II's mobile capabilities allow Fidel Gastro’s to bring its mouth-watering eats to major Toronto events such as the Field Trip music festival, the Toronto Festival of Beer, and the Toronto Food Truck Festival. Voted Canada’s number one food truck by Canadian Living magazine, Priscilla II has captured the hearts -- and stomachs -- of Torontonians with dishes such as the Chicky Sticky Icky Sandwich and their famous Pad Thai Fries.

For those who prefer to dine out, Fidel Gastro’s also operates a cozy restaurant space in the heart of Queen West called Lisa Marie. Not only does the space serve as a permanent spot for customers to indulge in Philly Cheesesteak bao buns and Seoul fried chicken, but the restaurant is also open to special events, allowing Fidel Gastro’s to host exclusive dining experiences right on-site.

With the holiday season nearing and temperatures dropping, Lisa Marie and Fidel Gastro’s offer a warm, comforting, and above all delicious way for Torontonians to celebrate.
