Mexican catering for your event in Milton
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. For big birthday celebrations and retirement and leaving parties, we can serve tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos for your guests.
For a place the size of Milton, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about the route to the house. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

FAQs for Milton
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
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.
Do you cater at coastal events near Milton?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Yes. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
