Our Mexican catering in Portsmouth

Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits fairs and festivals and weddings and evening receptions.

We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
  2. Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
  3. Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
  4. We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
  5. We pack away when service is over.

Taco catering in Portsmouth: local guide

From Southsea, Milton and Landport to 0 villages and hamlets, events across Portsmouth range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and a food truck or trailer can work in all of them, given access. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access and ground. 19 of the places we cover in Portsmouth are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we plan for the wind at seaside events.

Portsmouth: For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Wilfrid, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. By rail: Fratton station is about 0.9 miles away. Evenings in Portsmouth stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Working with your venue

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Why street food works

You do not need a kitchen, so gardens, fields and outdoor venues are all possible.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

  • Wedding breakfasts and evening food
  • Summer garden parties
  • Leaving dos and retirement parties
  • Christenings and family parties

How it compares

A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event.

Comparing caterers

  • The wet-weather plan
  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • The venue requirements
  • When final numbers are due

Planning for every diet

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Put any allergies in writing for us
  • Have a covered area ready in case of rain
  • Let us know if a guest is coeliac
  • Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance

If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.

Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

Portsmouth questions

What happens if it rains?

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

Is the food very hot?

We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

Do you need power and water?

Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Do you provide allergen information for each dish?

Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.

Do you have options for kids?

Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

How much is a food truck for an event?

We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
