How Mexican catering works in SO21

Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and weddings, day or evening, serving tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can.

  1. First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
  2. You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
  3. Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
  4. We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
  5. When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

FAQs for SO21

What does Mexican catering cost?

We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.

Is the food suitable for children?

Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

What happens if it rains?

The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.

Can you cater in a back garden?

That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.

What about power on site?

It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
