About Mexican catering in SO17
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It works well for markets and community events and retirement and leaving parties, with burritos, tacos and quesadillas.
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Cost
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Portswood: For a christening or wedding at a church such as Highfield Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. A school such as St Denys Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. From late May to late September, sunset in Portswood moves from about 8:55pm to 7:10pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
What Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu you choose
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just fill in our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Events we cater in SO17

Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:

- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
