Mexican party catering for your party in Tipner
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. Guests gather round the truck or trailer, and every plate goes out hot. It works well for summer garden parties and naming days and christenings, with quesadillas, loaded nachos and tacos.
For a party in Tipner, your garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive, gates and parking, and we’ll plan the rest. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

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.
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.
Questions from Tipner
We are having a ceremony at St Saviour's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How far is Tipner from London?
It’s about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot outside and the venue’s permission.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.

How we price Mexican party catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Whether you need disposables
- What’s on the menu
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

- The date and time of the event
