How our Mexican catering works in Shalford
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. At leaving parties and family gatherings and christenings, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Shalford, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Your menu ideas
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

- Burritos
- Quesadillas

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
