Mexican catering in Totton, from our truck or trailer
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. For anniversaries and engagements and school fairs and fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and tacos for your guests.
In Totton, an event with a food truck generally means a garden with drive access, a hall or club with a car park, or a hired venue. All of them can work, provided we can drive in and park on level ground. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Totton questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Winfred?
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.
Do you cater at coastal events near Totton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you serve in bad weather?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.

What’s on the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
