Mexican party catering in Iden, served fresh
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. Guests gather round the truck or trailer, and the food comes out hot. We serve loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole and salsas, and it suits graduation and exam-results parties and garden get-togethers.
A country party near Iden 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

How we price Mexican party catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- What the venue already provides
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

What else we do in Iden
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

- Put severe allergies to us in writing
