Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. It suits summer fairs and fêtes and crew and volunteer catering, with burrito bowls, quesadillas and burritos.
Near Haslar, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Should I do it myself?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Mexican street food or something else?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
