A closer look at the menu
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event.
Mexican catering in Ashton, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It suits family celebrations and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
Somewhere like Ashton, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. A December event in Ashton will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
