Taco bars are made for parties: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so fussy eaters and adventurous ones are both happy. It suits naming days and christenings and housewarmings, with burritos, quesadillas and tacos.
A country party near Alverstone is a good fit for street food: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How it compares
Pizza vans are popular, but most parties have had one. Tacos and nachos feel a little different. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Alverstone questions
Could you come to a seaside event near Alverstone?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Can you park at my house?
Typically, if there’s firm, level ground and a way in that’s wide and tall enough. Send a picture and we’ll check.
What Mexican party catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of where we’d park
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
