How our Mexican catering works in Leigh
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. For anniversaries and engagements and markets and community events, we can serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos and more.
In a small place like Leigh, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

What else we do in Leigh
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Leigh until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
