Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Ashurst
Evening food needs to be quick and filling, and tacos or loaded nachos from our food truck or trailer fit the bill. For parties after a register office wedding and food for evening guests, we can serve quesadillas, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and loaded nachos and more.
Rural weddings around Ashurst have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

How it works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. In Ashurst, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening tacos are usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
