About our Mexican party catering in Great Shoddesden
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We park our truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. We serve burritos, quesadillas and tacos, which works well for neighbourhood celebrations and garden get-togethers.
A country party near Great Shoddesden 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 prepare everything fresh for your party and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
Popular choices
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas go on the side, so guests choose the heat.
Quesadillas
Crisp quesadillas, cut into wedges.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
