About Mexican catering in PO6
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. Popular choices include burrito bowls, tacos and loaded nachos, and it suits big birthday celebrations and fundraisers and school events.
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area.

- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.

Taco catering in PO6: local guide
From Purbrook, Portchester and Hilsea to 1 villages and hamlets, events across PO6 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and a food truck or trailer can work in all of them, given access. In towns, plan parking and loading; in villages, tell us about lanes, gates and ground. Around 9 places in PO6 are close to the coast, so we often plan around the wind at coastal events.
Portsmouth: By road, Portsmouth is on or near the A3 and A27, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Manor Infant School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. A December event in Portsmouth will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
