Mexican catering in Ripple
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Ripple until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Mexican catering in Ripple, served fresh
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. On the menu are tacos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits big birthday celebrations and staff parties and office lunches.
In a small place like Ripple, events are normally 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 firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Quesadillas
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Tacos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Loaded nachos
Comparing your options
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

What Mexican catering costs
