Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Mexican catering for your event in Alkham
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Alkham: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, wherever we can get in safely. We serve loaded nachos, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits wedding breakfasts and evening food and fundraisers and school events.
Somewhere as small as Alkham, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Alkham: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Alkham?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Sladden Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many guests we are serving
- Parking and the route in
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know

- A picture of where we’d park

- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
What we need at the venue

- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
