DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
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.
Why street food works
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: familiar, filling and easy to eat wherever guests are.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Fairs and festivals
- Milestone birthdays
- Christenings and family parties
- Staff parties and office lunches
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
What’s on the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Common questions in E17
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What food do you serve?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What do you need at the venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
