Mexican party catering near Penenden Heath
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
How our Mexican party catering works in Penenden Heath
The menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for family reunions and anniversary celebrations.
Parties around Penenden Heath are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A taco truck on the drive fits right in. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Give separate numbers for children
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
