How our Mexican catering works in Gilbert Street
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. It suits engagement and anniversary parties and markets and community events, with tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
In a small place like Gilbert Street, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Gilbert Street questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Will you travel to a small place like Gilbert Street?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
For event organisers in Gilbert Street
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Gilbert Street until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
