Should I do it myself?

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Questions from Brading
Do you come out to small places like Brading?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you come to a seaside event near Brading?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you cater at halls and clubs?
Yes, if there is space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
What does Mexican party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
