Mexican catering in Founthill, served fresh
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Founthill: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there is safe access. It works well for family celebrations and milestone birthdays, with quesadillas, burritos and tacos.
For a rural spot like Founthill, 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. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
