Mexican catering for your event in Cooling
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. At festivals, fairs and markets and charity and school events, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
For a rural spot like Cooling, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
About the menu
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Cooling until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
