About our Mexican catering in Rye
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. It works well for christenings and family parties and leaving dos and retirement parties, serving burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
There may be a hall or club near Rye if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Rye
Is it possible to have you in Rye Harbour LNR?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Could you come to a seaside event near Rye?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How is the food prepared?

What affects the price in Rye

- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- What you’d like on the menu

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Rye until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you are done, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it compares
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

- We cover Rye and the whole of East Sussex
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
