About our Mexican catering in Cote
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. Popular choices include quesadillas, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for fairs and festivals and anniversaries and engagements.
Somewhere as small as Cote, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Taco catering in Cote: local tips
Cote is about 2 miles north-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Events in Cote are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Cote is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 13 miles away.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Durrington Junior School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Guests arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Durrington-On-Sea station, about 1.8 miles south. Cote is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. Cote is within about 4 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission from the council or landowner.

Cote: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Durrington-On-Sea station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
How it compares
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

A closer look at the menu
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.
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate, and guests add as much as they like.
What Mexican catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Guest numbers
- Food, drinks or both
- What’s on the menu
- Timings and hours
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- What power and water the site has
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Count children separately
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
