About the menu
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Each guest makes tacos their way.
About our Mexican catering in Mount Pleasant
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. For big birthday celebrations and markets and community events, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and tacos for your guests.
For a rural spot like Mount Pleasant, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Taco catering in Mount Pleasant: local tips
Mount Pleasant is about 2 miles north-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. For Mexican catering in Mount Pleasant, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We cater in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Mount Pleasant to Southampton (13 miles away).
For guests coming by train, Sway station is about 1.6 miles away. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 3 miles of Mount Pleasant, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. The coast is within about 3 miles of Mount Pleasant, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission from the council or landowner.
We serve at events all over the SO41 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Mount Pleasant Lane and Kings Hyde, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Battramsley (1 mile north-east), Boldre (1 mile east), Sandy Down (1 mile north-east), Warborne (2 miles east) and Lymington (2 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Totton (10 miles north), Hedge End (15 miles north-east), Romsey (15 miles north), Hythe (10 miles north-east), New Milton (4 miles south-west) and Ringwood (10 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (1.9 miles south-east) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (1.4 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Milford on Sea LNR.
- Local pubs include The Hobler Public House (1 mile north-east)
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.

How we price Mexican catering

- Your choice of food and drinks

- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just use our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Mount Pleasant: your questions answered
Could you come to a seaside event near Mount Pleasant?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you serve in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
