Mexican catering for your event in Alton
Looking for taco catering in Alton? Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. It suits birthday parties and markets and community events, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burritos.
In Alton, an event with a food truck typically means a garden with drive access, a hall or club with a car park, or a hired venue. Each can work, as long as the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Comparing your options
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

- A clear quote
- Book food, drinks or both
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Menus chosen with you

Alton: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Alton for guests?
Alton station, in Alton itself.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can we add a bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What are your prices?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Alton until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option

Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
