About Mexican catering in N1
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It suits garden get-togethers and birthday parties, serving loaded nachos, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
The menu, item by item
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event.
Comparing your options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book.
What your quote should include
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- When final numbers are due
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- Any travel, parking or access charges
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
N1: your questions answered
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
