How our Mexican catering works in Palm Bay
Taco catering in Palm Bay is what we do best. Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burrito bowls, and it suits charity and school events and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Somewhere like Palm Bay, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate, and guests add as much as they like.
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.

Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
