About our Mexican catering in Selsdon
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. For engagement and anniversary parties and weddings, day or evening, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and quesadillas for your guests.
Around Selsdon, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Selsdon
What’s the nearest station to Selsdon for guests?
Sanderstead station, about 1.7 miles west of the centre.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Francis?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What space do you need?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How much will it cost?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Count children separately
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Perfect for your event in Selsdon

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
Why choose Mexican catering in Selsdon?
