Mexican party catering in Rochester, from our food truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is ideal for a party: everyone builds their own tacos from the fillings and toppings, so fussy eaters and adventurous ones are both happy. Popular choices include guacamole and salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos, and it suits garden get-togethers and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
In Rochester, home and the local hall are popular party venues. A truck or trailer can work at both, as long as we can drive in and park on level ground. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

- First, we check the date and the space.
