How our Mexican catering works in Appleton
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It works well for retirement and leaving parties and weddings and evening receptions, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burritos.
In a small place like Appleton, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
