Mexican catering for your event in Cold Ash
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and tacos, and it is a good fit for weddings and evening receptions and leaving dos and retirement parties.
In a hamlet or village like Cold Ash, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Popular choices
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count children separately
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
