Mexican catering in Hartley, from our truck or trailer
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It works well for company summer parties and milestone birthdays, serving loaded nachos, quesadillas and burritos.
In a small place like Hartley, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Mexican catering or something else?
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
