Mexican catering in Horndean
How we price Mexican catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Serving staff
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Your menu ideas
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
About our Mexican catering in Horndean
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit 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. Popular choices include burrito bowls, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for company summer parties and birthday parties.
A town like Horndean gives you plenty of options: a drive, a club, a hall or a hired venue. We’ll agree where we park beforehand. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
For event organisers in Horndean
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
