Our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. For wedding meals and marquee parties, we’ll put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole and more.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Set out seating near the bar
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Food, drinks or both
