Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. 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, with allergen information for every dish.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together

Comparing your options
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
