What Mexican catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
- The length of service
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d park
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and loaded nachos, and it suits school fairs and fundraisers and summer garden parties.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
What’s on the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
