About our Mexican catering in Southend
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and tacos, which works well for weddings, day or evening and charity and school events.
In a rural place like Southend, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Questions from Southend
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Is Southend close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you before the day.

- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Catering an event in Southend
Southend is about 5 miles north-west of Waterlooville, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Southend or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in 683 places across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 12 miles away.
If people are travelling in by rail, Portchester station is about 5 miles away. A school such as Newtown Soberton Infant School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Southend until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you are done, we pack away.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
