Mexican catering in Elvington
Mexican catering in Elvington, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for engagement celebrations and garden parties, serving loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
For a rural spot like Elvington, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite, and they go down well with children.
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, made for sharing.

A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
