Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Thruxton until about 9:25pm; 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.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Find out what power and water are available

The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with warm tortillas to fill. Each guest makes tacos their way.

Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
