Mexican catering in Aylesford
Common questions in Aylesford
We are having a ceremony at Aylesford Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ditton Quarry?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
How much will it cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Mexican catering in Aylesford, served fresh
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. We serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for office lunches and team days and festivals, fairs and markets.
For a place the size of Aylesford, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How it compares
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different, yet it’s still food most guests know and like. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.

Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for guests to queue
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
