How Mexican catering works in RG2
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around RG2: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding. It works well for milestone birthdays and company summer parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burritos.
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
What you will pay
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- A menu agreed with you
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar

Catering events across RG2
RG2 covers everything from Earley, Shinfield and Arborfield Garrison to 3 small villages and hamlets, and a food truck or trailer can work in all of them, given access. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access and ground.
Shinfield: By rail: Reading Green Park station is about 2.6 miles away. A school such as Shinfield Infant and Nursery School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Daylight in Shinfield runs to about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
How it compares
With a barbecue, someone typically ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
About the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them, with every dish labelled.
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Include at least one vegan filling
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
Questions from RG2
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Reading included. Find your area.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How much will it cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
