Mexican catering for your event in Newington
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Newington: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, wherever we can get in safely. It suits office lunches and team days and leaving parties, with loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
Somewhere like Newington, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
How we price Mexican catering
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- How long we are needed on site
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- What you’d like on the menu
- What power and water the site has
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with tortillas kept warm. Everyone builds their own.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
DIY taco night versus 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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Where the truck can go in Newington
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
