Mexican catering in North Oxford, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. At birthday parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
A place like North Oxford may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Why choose Mexican catering in North Oxford?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. In North Oxford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Common questions in North Oxford
What’s the nearest station to North Oxford for guests?
Oxford station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
Is it possible to have you in Oxford University Parks?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Perfect for your event in North Oxford
People like choosing their own toppings, and a taco bar soon becomes a talking point.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Birthday parties
- Charity and school events
- Retirement and leaving parties
- Company summer parties
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
Questions to ask before booking
- The venue requirements
- When payment is due
- The wet-weather plan
- A clear list of what’s included
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

- Burritos
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls

- Build-your-own taco bar
What Mexican catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
