Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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 will 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.
Mexican catering in Baffins, from our truck or trailer
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. At big birthday celebrations and school fairs and fundraisers, we can serve burrito bowls, tacos and quesadillas and more.
Around Baffins, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we will plan around it. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- 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 will advise before booking.

Catering an event in Baffins
Baffins is about 1 mile east of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. From the centre of Baffins to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover 19 places across Portsmouth, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Baffins to Southampton (about 17 miles away).
Thinking of an event in Alexandra Park? Public parks usually need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. For guests coming by train, Fratton station is about 1 mile away. With the sea within about 3 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches normally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Here we cover the PO3, PO4 and PO2 postcode area. Streets in the area include Byron Road, James Road and Dover Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Baffins sits on or near the A288, which makes travel to your event easy.

Questions from Baffins
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Alexandra Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Cuthbert?
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.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
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 and we will reply with a quote.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Is the food suitable for children?
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.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
