Our Mexican catering in SO15

The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It suits garden get-togethers and engagement celebrations, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos.

Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit.

  1. You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
  2. We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
  3. We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
  4. On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
  5. When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.

Catering events across SO15

Across SO15, we cater in 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Shirley, Regents Park and Maybush to a quiet hamlet: access, level ground and a clear plan. Around 13 places in SO15 are close to the coast, where we plan for the wind at seaside events.

Shirley: Reaching Shirley by road is easy for us, thanks to the A3057. A school such as Wordsworth Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Around midsummer it stays light in Shirley until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.

Space, access and the venue

We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
  • Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
  • Some distance from houses and neighbours

What’s on the menu

Build-your-own taco bar

A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with tortillas kept warm. Each guest makes tacos their way.

Quesadillas

Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
