Mexican catering for your event in Nettlestead
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Nettlestead and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, wherever we can get in safely. It works well for staff parties and office lunches and engagement and anniversary parties, serving burritos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Nettlestead, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

About the menu
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, made for sharing.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
How it compares
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Evenings in Nettlestead stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
