Mexican catering across HA8

The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It suits fundraisers and school events and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving burritos, tacos and quesadillas.

The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and venue.
  2. Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
  3. We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
  4. Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
  5. After the last serving, we clear our area.

What’s on the menu

Burritos and burrito bowls

A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.

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.

Before you choose a spot

Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner
  • A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
  • Some distance from houses and neighbours

How it compares

Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Mexican street food stands out.

Comparing caterers

  • The wet-weather plan
  • What the price includes, item by item
  • VAT, if it applies
  • The deadline for final numbers

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

For planners, venues and organisers

Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Questions from HA8

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Is the food very hot?

The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

What’s on the menu?

We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.

What if it rains?

We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.

What are your prices?

There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.

Do you have dairy-free options?

Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.

What guest numbers do you cater for?

That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
