Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
