Mexican catering in Boughton Aluph, from our truck or trailer
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits engagement and anniversary parties and weddings and evening receptions.
In a small place like Boughton Aluph, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Planning help
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
With a barbecue, someone usually ends up stuck at the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our truck or trailer. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Allergen information for every dish
- A plan agreed before the day
- A clear quote
Take a look at our prices page and our guide to catering costs.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
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, and handles allergen information for you.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Count children separately
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
The menu, item by item
Burritos and burrito bowls

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
