For family celebrations and engagement and anniversary parties, we can serve quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos and more.
In a smaller place like Westwood, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Let us know about the route to the house. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Can you set up at our venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.

DIY taco night versus 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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.

How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- How we drive in and where we can park
- What you’d like on the menu
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, your venue or CT9 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Where the truck can go in Westwood
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing, whether as a starter or a late bite. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. They come with fresh salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Evenings in Westwood stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
