Mexican catering in Westgate-on-Sea
How our Mexican catering works in Westgate-on-Sea
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for fairs and festivals and big birthday celebrations, with loaded nachos, burrito bowls and tacos.
There may be a hall or club near Westgate-on-Sea if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours

Other catering in Westgate-on-Sea
The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or served as a bowl instead.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How long we are needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d park
- The venue or postcode
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Westgate-on-Sea? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
