Our Mexican catering in SO40

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. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and tacos, and it suits fundraisers and school events and christenings and family parties.

Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit.

  1. First, send us a few details about your event.
  2. You get a sample menu and a quote.
  3. We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
  4. We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
  5. Once service ends, we clear away.

Pricing in SO40

Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Taco catering in SO40: local guide

There are 3 towns and 12 villages and hamlets in SO40, so the setting can be anything from Totton, Marchwood and Eling to a quiet hamlet: a level, firm spot, a way in and agreed timings. The New Forest National Park is within easy reach of places across SO40, so check venue rules on vehicles, ground and access for countryside events. 10 of the places we cover in SO40 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we plan for the wind at seaside events, and seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

Totton: Reaching Totton by road is easy for us, thanks to the A35 and A36. Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Abbotswood Junior School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. In Totton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.

Events we cater in SO40

There is no kitchen needed at the venue, so gardens, fields and outdoor venues are all possible.

A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in SO40 can book us for occasions like:

  • Charity and school events
  • Big birthday celebrations
  • Leaving dos and retirement parties
  • Weddings, day or evening

Diets, allergies and planning

A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Mention any other caterers or courses
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Add a dietary question to your RSVP
  • Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences

If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.

Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.

Should I do it myself?

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.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Mexican catering or something else?

A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time.

Space, access and the venue

Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:

  • Space for guests to queue
  • Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
  • Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer

Your questions about Mexican catering in SO40

What access do you need?

Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?

We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.

Can you set up at our venue?

We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.

Can you do gluten-free food?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

When should we book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.

Are plates and napkins included?

That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.

What guest numbers do you cater for?

That depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
