The menu, item by item
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. They come with fresh salsas and toppings.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Around midsummer it stays light in Upper Burgate until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:05pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day

Upper Burgate: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Woodgreen Methodist Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Upper Burgate?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Yes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
