Mexican catering for your event in Cross Gate
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. It suits leaving dos and retirement parties and weddings, day or evening, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
Somewhere as small as Cross Gate, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

DIY taco night versus 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’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Winter evenings in Cross Gate close in by about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

The menu, item by item
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings, made for sharing.
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. They come with fresh salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Taco catering in Cross Gate: local tips
Cross Gate is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Cross Gate. We serve in all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Cross Gate to Brighton (about 18 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Amberley CofE Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about a mile of Cross Gate, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Space for guests to queue
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
