About our Mexican catering in South Town

In a small place like South Town, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning.

For event organisers in South Town
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are 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 can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What’s on the menu
- Parking and the route in
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where we’d park
- What you’d like on the menu
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Popular choices
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
