Mexican catering in Benover
About our Mexican catering in Benover
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. For weddings, day or evening and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
Somewhere like Benover, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Winter evenings in Benover close in by about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.

How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
