Mexican catering in Northdown, from our truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. It suits family gatherings and christenings and garden get-togethers, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and burritos.
In a smaller place like Northdown, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Can you set up at our venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll check it works. We also need room for a queue.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

What’s on the menu
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
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. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Mexican catering around Northdown
Northdown is about 2 miles east of Margate, in Kent. Across the CT9 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Northdown is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Northdown to Canterbury (about 16 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Quex Park (4.5 miles west). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. By rail: Broadstairs station is about 1.8 miles away. With the sea within about 2 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches typically need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
This part of Kent takes in CT9 and CT10, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a home on Old Road, Holly Lane and Green Lane or the roads around them.

- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you are done, we pack away.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The length of service
- Serving staff
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field

Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
