About our Mexican catering in Platt
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. It works well for birthday parties and weddings and evening receptions, with burrito bowls, tacos and burritos.
In a rural place like Platt, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
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.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
