Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and burritos, which works well for markets and community events and christenings and family parties.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Perfect for your event in Afton
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and the smell of warm tortillas brings people over.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:

Common questions in Afton
Could you come to a seaside event near Afton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Will you travel to a small place like Afton?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can we add a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will check the licensing with you.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Do you cater for big events?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Winter evenings in Afton close in by about 4:05pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
