About our Mexican catering in Oakridge
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Oakridge: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, wherever we can get in safely. At wedding breakfasts and evening food and charity and school events, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls for your guests.
There may be a hall or club near Oakridge if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Oakridge, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

Oakridge: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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.
What affects the price in Oakridge
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
