How our Mexican catering works in Mortimer
Need taco catering in Mortimer? Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits milestone birthdays and charity and school events, with fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burritos.
A place like Mortimer may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evenings in Mortimer stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- 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.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
