How our Mexican catering works in Rockford
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It suits leaving parties and family celebrations, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
In a rural place like Rockford, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
About the menu

What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Rockford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:05pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.

Do you come out to small places like Rockford?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Martins: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
When do you arrive?

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
How it compares
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Mexican street food stands out. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
