Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Include at least one vegan filling
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Mexican catering for your event in Twelve Oaks
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It works well for garden get-togethers and fundraisers and school events, serving loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos.
For a rural spot like Twelve Oaks, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Around midsummer it stays light in Twelve Oaks until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight.

DIY taco night or 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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
