How our Mexican catering works in Selsted
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for weddings, day or evening and milestone birthdays.
For a rural spot like Selsted, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

- Approximate guest numbers, including children

Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Selsted until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
