Mexican catering in Hillstreet, from our truck or trailer
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. At fairs and festivals and family celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos for your guests.
Somewhere like Hillstreet, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Space for guests to queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A December event in Hillstreet will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Hillstreet
Will you travel to a small place like Hillstreet?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Anne's?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can we add a bar?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will talk licensing through with you.
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.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
