Our Mexican catering in MK20
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers.

- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Mexican catering or something else?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space for guests to queue

That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
