About our Mexican catering in Elmhurst
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 works well for leaving dos and retirement parties and markets and community events, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and quesadillas.
There may be a hall or club near Elmhurst if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
Occasions we cater for in Elmhurst
Food is cooked to order and served hot, instead of waiting on a buffet.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We are happy to cater:
- Family celebrations
- Office lunches and team days
- Summer garden parties
- Charity and school events
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Elmhurst School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.

Mexican catering or something else?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

See our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
