Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Mexican catering in Small Dole, served fresh
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. It works well for weddings and evening receptions and school fairs and fundraisers, serving tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Small Dole, 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. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. A December event in Small Dole will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
