Mexican catering for Stanhope events
About our Mexican catering in Stanhope
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Stanhope and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields. At garden get-togethers and markets and community events, we can serve tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos for your guests.
A place like Stanhope may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Comparing your options
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What’s on the menu
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.
Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
