How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Mexican catering in Thornton Heath, from our food truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. At big birthday celebrations and company summer parties, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls and more.
From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Thornton Heath come in all shapes. Let us know where the truck or trailer can stop, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Put any allergies in writing for us

We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.
Thornton Heath: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Thornton Heath for guests?
Thornton Heath has its own station: Thornton Heath station.
Could you serve in Grangewood Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can we add a bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
