Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Ashtead: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at St George's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Count children separately
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Include at least one vegan filling
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Working with your venue
