Mexican party catering near Matfield
Mexican party catering in Matfield, from our truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is ideal for a party: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. It works well for birthday parties and big family gatherings, serving burritos, loaded nachos and guacamole and salsas.
Country parties near Matfield suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Questions from Matfield

Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Let us know what you’d like and we’ll include the options in your quote.

Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
