Mexican catering in Wilmington, from our truck or trailer
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. Popular choices include tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos, and it suits garden get-togethers and office lunches and team days.
For a rural spot like Wilmington, 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. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What Mexican catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu you choose
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many staff you need
- How long we’re needed on site
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Your menu ideas
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Popular choices
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or served as a bowl instead.
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What we offer
- Burrito bowls
- Burritos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Quesadillas

- Loaded nachos

Wilmington: your questions answered
Could you serve in Dartford Heath?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at St Barnabas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What does Mexican catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
