Mexican catering for Leigh events
Mexican catering for your event in Leigh
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. On the menu are tacos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for big birthday celebrations and weddings and evening receptions.
Somewhere as small as Leigh, 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. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Loaded nachos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Burrito bowls
- Tacos
- Quesadillas
- Burritos
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Count children separately
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Let us know about any other food at the event
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.

Leigh: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Which station is closest to Leigh?
Guests can use Betchworth station, about 2.9 miles north of Leigh.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
What are your prices?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
What can we choose from?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. The sample menu shows the options.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Occasions we cater for in Leigh
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and people drift over as soon as service starts.
We cater all kinds of occasions in Leigh and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Garden get-togethers
- Milestone birthdays
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Bartholomew, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal.
What your quote should include
- How each diet is kept separate
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- VAT, if it applies
- How long the service runs
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Mexican catering or something else?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. In Leigh, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
