About our Mexican catering in Harefield
Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it suits family gatherings and christenings and big birthday celebrations.
Around Harefield, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?

- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
