Mexican party catering in Sandown
Mexican party catering for your party in Sandown
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We park our truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. For street and neighbourhood parties and exam-results parties, we can serve tacos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a place like Sandown, a garden party is usually the easiest option. Let us know how the truck or trailer can reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. For a winter party in Sandown, it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:20pm.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Serving staff
- How long we are needed on site
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you need disposables
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your menu ideas
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
