Mexican catering in Merle Common, served fresh
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Merle Common and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there is safe access. It works well for birthday parties and markets and community events, serving loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a small place like Merle 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 firm ground matters, especially after rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
