Mexican catering in Charlton
Mexican catering for your event in Charlton
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. It works well for milestone birthdays and school fairs and fundraisers, with quesadillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere as small as Charlton, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Common questions in Charlton
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Thomas?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Charlton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater in Charlton?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Charlton and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Is the food made fresh?
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.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
What if it rains?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.

We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
