Mexican party catering for Islip events
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Where to see their hygiene rating
- Whether VAT is included

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.
Burrito bowls for guests who skip tortillas.
The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
Warm tortillas, fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests.
Salsas and guacamole
Guests add as much salsa as they like.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
