Catering in El Cerrito, CA

Walk the Ohlone Greenway on any given morning and you already know El Cerrito has its own quiet groove — and nothing breaks that groove open quite like the smell of wood smoke announcing that real BBQ is nearby. Colorado Pig Rig works in that register: brisket rested and sliced properly, ribs with a smoke ring worth photographing, pulled pork that earned its tenderness over hours. This is the kind of food that fits El Cerrito's pace — unhurried, substantial, and completely satisfying.

The crowd that pours out of Edwards Stadium after a big game is hungry in a specific way — the kind that only smoked brisket and a pile of ribs can fix, and Colorado Pig Rig knows how to be ready for that moment. On a lazy weekend afternoon, Live Oak Recreation Center draws the kind of mixed crowd that gravitates toward exactly this food: something real, something smoky, something that feels like it was made with care. Down the block from the Aurora Theatre, a post-show plate of pulled pork has a way of turning a good night into a great one.

California does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.

In El Cerrito, health is overseen by Contra Costa Health, Environmental Health Division and fire by El Cerrito's fire authority, each at the local level.

If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of El Cerrito.

Colorado Pig Rig and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.
