Mexican catering in East Malling, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It suits staff parties and office lunches and retirement and leaving parties, with tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
For a place the size of East Malling, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
