Mexican street food near Outwood
Mexican street food in Outwood, served fresh
The menu is agreed with organisers, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. At music and food festivals and seasonal and night markets, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, tacos and quesadillas.
Rural events near Outwood can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
