Where do you cater?

We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.

Can you serve from my drive or garden?

Often, yes, if there’s level, firm ground and access wide and high enough for the truck or trailer. Send us a picture of the space.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Can you do a kids’ option?

It is popular with children, especially quesadillas or simple tacos. Let us know numbers and ages.

Mexican party catering or something else?

Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Tacos cover everyone with separate fillings. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

How we price Mexican party catering

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • How long we’re needed on site
  • Staff for serving and the bar
  • What’s on the menu
  • Travel, parking and access

The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

Details that help

The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Where the event is
  • The date and time of the event
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Gate widths, slopes and the ground

Send us the date, your venue or ME14 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.

How it works

Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Throwing a late-May party in Detling? The sun sets at about 8:50pm. Once dusk falls, some garden lighting by the truck makes ordering easier.

  1. Send us your date, address and numbers.
  2. You get a menu and a quote.
  3. We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
  4. Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.
  5. We pack down after service.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
  • Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Planning a party in Detling

Detling is about 3 miles north-east of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Detling to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 22 miles away.

Nearby historic houses include Stoneacre (3 miles south) and Leeds Castle (4.1 miles south-east). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site. Once the service at a church like St Martin of Tours Church is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. For a party in the countryside, the Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.

We serve at parties all over ME14. Your party could be at a home on The Street, Princes Way and Queens Way or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Thurnham (1 mile south-east), Grove Green (1 mile south-west), Harbourland (1 mile west), Weavering (2 miles south) and Bearsted (2 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Maidstone (3 miles south-west), Sittingbourne (8 miles north-east), Gravesend (12 miles north-west), Tonbridge (14 miles south-west), Faversham (14 miles east) and Northfleet (14 miles north-west).

Other landmarks nearby include KIMS hospital (0.8 miles south-west) and The Mall Maidstone (2.4 miles south-west). The countryside around Detling includes Burham Down and Detling Hill.

  • Nearby, you will find The Cock Horse pub (within half a mile north)

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Catering for every guest

We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To make it work smoothly:

  • Ensure there’s a vegan option
  • Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
  • Make sure most people can sit to eat
  • Let the neighbours know

We have allergen details for every dish.

Our drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
