Mexican catering in Ower, from our food truck or trailer
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. For markets and community events and garden get-togethers, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Ower, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Your choice of food and drinks
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How it compares
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we offer in Ower
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A quote that sets out what’s included

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Count children separately
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
