About the menu

Tacos

Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. They come with fresh salsas and toppings.

Build-your-own taco bar

A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:

  • Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
  • Confirm allergies by email before the event
  • Let us know if a guest is coeliac
  • Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early

We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.

Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
