FAQ
Is The Outpost Mexican Eatery female-owned?
Yes. The Outpost Mexican Eatery is a proudly female-owned, family-run business founded by Anna Kamilis. What began as a family investment and a shared love for authentic Mexican food grew into a hands-on restaurant concept built from the ground up. Rooted in Chicago, the business reflects a strong family foundation, resilience through the pandemic, and a commitment to serving fresh, scratch-made Mexican cuisine while staying deeply connected to the local community.
How does the catering process work?
Simply choose your menu, share your event details (date, time, and guest count), and we'll take care of the rest. Our team prepares everything fresh and ensures your order is ready for pickup or delivery on time.
How far in advance should I place a catering order?
We recommend placing orders 24–48 hours in advance for the best availability, especially for larger events. Need something sooner? Many of our catering options are available with as little as 2 hours' notice, depending on demand. Please note: our taquiza (live taco bar) requires at least 24 hours' notice.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions, like gluten-free options?
Yes. We offer gluten-free options and can help guide you toward menu items that meet your dietary needs. Please let us know your requirements when placing your order so we can accommodate you properly.
Is your food prepared in a gluten-free kitchen?
While we offer gluten-free items, our kitchen is not fully gluten-free, so cross-contact may occur. If you have a severe allergy, please let us know so we can advise you accordingly.
