Mexican catering in Elsted
Mexican catering in Elsted, served fresh
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. For big birthday celebrations and fairs and festivals, we can serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Elsted, 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. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Prices and what affects them
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:

A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Common questions in Elsted
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. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our food 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.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

What’s on the menu
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. They come with fresh salsas and toppings.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
For event organisers in Elsted
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 will follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
