About the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.

Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Mexican catering in Sandwich, served fresh
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It works well for staff parties and office lunches and markets and community events, with burritos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
There may be a hall or club near Sandwich if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Tell us how many children are coming
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out, yet it’s still food most guests know and like. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Sandwich: venues, access and local tips
Sandwich is about 5 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Events in Sandwich are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 11 miles away.
For guests coming by train, Sandwich station is in Sandwich itself. A school such as Sandwich Infant School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Sandwich is within about 5 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission from the council or landowner.
We cover events in every part of CT13. Whether your event is on Cattle Market, Market Street and High Street or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Sandwich, we also cover Great Stonar (1 mile north), Felderland (1 mile south), Worth (1 mile south), Woodnesborough (1 mile south-west) and Statenborough (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (11 miles west), Margate (8 miles north), Dover (10 miles south), Folkestone (15 miles south-west), Ramsgate (5 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (7 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include The Precinct Toy Collection (less than half a mile north) and Ramsgate General Hospital (5 miles north-east). Open spaces near Sandwich include Monk's Wall nature reserve.
- Nearby schools include Sir Roger Manwood's School (within half a mile east)
- Pubs nearby include The Red Cow Public House (less than half a mile north)
Occasions we cater for in Sandwich
Every order goes out hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in Sandwich can book us for events such as:
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Company summer parties
- Family gatherings and christenings
A gathering in Ham Fen would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Sandwich
Could you serve in Ham Fen?
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’ll send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Sandwich for guests?
Guests can use Sandwich station, which is right in Sandwich.
Do you come to Sandwich?

Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Around midsummer it stays light in Sandwich until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you are done, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
