How our Mexican catering works in Ockley
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. For garden parties and markets and community events, we can serve tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Ockley, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What’s on the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Some distance from houses and neighbours

Prices and what affects them

Questions from Ockley
We’re having a ceremony at St John's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Will you travel to a small place like Ockley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you cater in Ockley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Ockley is within our area and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What food do you serve?
