About our Mexican catering in Cliffe
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Popular choices include tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos, which works well for summer garden parties and birthday parties.
For a rural spot like Cliffe, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
FAQs for Cliffe
How far is Cliffe from London?
It’s about 26 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Helen?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Medway included. See all areas.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.

Why choose Mexican catering in Cliffe?
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. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A December event in Cliffe will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
