Mexican party catering for Hilsea events
Mexican party catering for your party in Hilsea
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. The truck or trailer is a focal point, and the food comes out hot. It works well for summer garden parties and engagement and anniversary parties, with loaded nachos, guacamole and salsas and burritos.
In a place like Hilsea, a garden party is normally the easiest option. Let us know how the truck or trailer can reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Your questions about Mexican party catering in Hilsea
Is it possible to have you in Alexandra Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Hilsea?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need and we’ll explain the options with your quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
