The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
Warm tortillas, fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests, so everyone builds their own.
Burritos
A burrito is hearty and easy to hold, ideal for hungry guests.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Sunset in Patcham ranges from about 9:20pm at midsummer to about 3:55pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.

- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of food and drinks
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What power and water the site has
- How we drive in and where we can park

- The venue or postcode
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Why choose Mexican party catering in Patcham?
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Tacos cover everyone with separate fillings. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Patcham: your questions answered
Could you serve in Withdean Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot outside and the venue’s permission.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Tell us what you need and we’ll include the options in your quote.
Where do you cater?
