How our Mexican catering works in Lower Common
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for anniversaries and engagements and leaving dos and retirement parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Lower Common, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Include at least one vegan filling
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area.

- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.
