Mexican catering in Otterbourne, served fresh
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. Popular choices include quesadillas, burrito bowls and burritos, and it’s a good fit for big birthday celebrations and summer garden parties.
In a hamlet or village like Otterbourne, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Count children separately
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
