How our Mexican catering works in Lower Basildon
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It suits school fairs and fundraisers and birthday parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like Lower Basildon, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Count children separately
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
