Mexican party catering in Shotover Hill, 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 everybody gets what they like. Popular choices include burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for retirement and leaving parties and baby celebrations.
Around Shotover Hill, a garden and a gazebo is often all you need. A taco truck on the drive fits right in. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
