DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Shipley? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
- Check the width of your gate or drive
- Count adults and children separately
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Burrito bowls for guests who skip tortillas.
