Mexican catering in California, served fresh
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and burritos, and it suits summer garden parties and leaving parties.
Somewhere as small as California, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Planning an evening event in California? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Mexican catering around California
California is about 3 miles south-west of Wokingham, in Wokingham. From the centre of California to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. California is one of 35 places in Wokingham where we can bring Mexican catering. You can also see our page for Reading, about 7 miles away.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Gorse Ride Junior School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Before you pencil in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
This part of Wokingham takes in RG40, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Your event could be at a home on Warren Lane, White Horse Lane and Fernbank.

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Mexican catering or something else?
With a barbecue, someone typically ends up stuck at the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
