About the menu
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. They come with fresh salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.

Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Mexican catering for your event in Balcombe Lane
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Balcombe Lane: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, wherever we can get in safely. It suits leaving dos and retirement parties and charity and school events, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Balcombe Lane, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evenings in Balcombe Lane stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out, yet it is still food most guests know and like. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
