About our Mexican party catering in Colgate
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no prep and no hours in the kitchen. The food is our job. We serve tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for milestone birthdays and big family gatherings.
Country parties near Colgate suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your party and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

How it compares
A home-made buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Tacos and burritos are served hot, order by order. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Allergen information for every dish
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
- Let the neighbours know
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.
Tell us if you need plates or serving staff, and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. In Colgate, it is light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 3:55pm in December, so the time of year shapes an evening party.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Ask the venue about power and water

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
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.
