About our Mexican catering in Betchworth
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it suits charity and school events and weddings and evening receptions.
Somewhere like Betchworth, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event.

What Mexican catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
Comparing your options
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

- Fast service, even with a queue

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
