Mexican catering across OX5
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. It suits family celebrations and charity and school events, with tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
What it costs in OX5

Planning a food truck in OX5
There are 3 towns and 16 villages and hamlets in OX5, so whether your event is in Kidlington, Yarnton and Islip or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, firm spot, a way in and agreed timings.
Kidlington: The A4260 run on or near Kidlington, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one. Historic houses near Kidlington include Blenheim Palace (3.5 miles north-west) and Holywell Manor, Oxford (4.8 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. Daylight in Kidlington runs to about 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
What’s on the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside, cut into wedges.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Count children separately
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Comparing your options
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Our food is served hot, one order at a time.
Comparing caterers
- How long the service runs
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- When payment is due
- What the caterer needs from your venue
OX5 questions
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What food and drinks do you offer?
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.
Do you give allergen information?
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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
