Is Mexican catering right for your event?
With a barbecue, someone generally ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

About our Mexican catering in Hersden
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. For family celebrations and school fairs and fundraisers, we will put together a menu of tacos, burritos and burrito bowls and more.
For a place the size of Hersden, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Let us know about the route to the house. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Taco catering in Hersden: local tips

If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of All Saints, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. A school such as Hersden Village Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.
