About Mexican catering in Reading
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and milestone birthdays, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.

We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The menu you choose
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather

Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Reading? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Is Mexican catering right for you?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate.
Questions to ask before booking
- How each diet is kept separate
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- Travel and parking costs
- How long the service runs
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Questions from Reading
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. 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.
What food do you serve?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
