Mexican catering in Rochester, from our truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. At milestone birthdays and fundraisers and school events, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos for your guests.
There are lots of options in a town like Rochester: a drive, a club, a hall or a hired venue. We will agree where we park beforehand. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

When the service is at a church such as Church of St Nicholas, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. For guests coming by train, Rochester has its own station, Rochester station.
We serve at events all over the ME2, ME1, ME3 and ME4 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include High Street, Gundolph Square and Station Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
FAQs for Rochester
Which station is closest to Rochester?
Rochester has its own station: Rochester station.
How far is Rochester from central London?
It’s about 27 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Medway. See all areas.
How many guests can you cater for?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Should I do it myself?
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, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Evenings in Rochester stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
