About our Mexican catering in Horsmonden
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. At festivals, fairs and markets and leaving parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
Somewhere as small as Horsmonden, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. In Horsmonden, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

What’s on the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them, with every dish labelled.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Do you come out to small places like Horsmonden?
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.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
How does your Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We can. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Do you have gluten-free options?
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.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
