About our wedding Mexican catering in Elson
A Mexican menu makes mixed diets easier: there are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, corn tortillas for gluten-free guests and allergen information for every dish. It works well for garden and marquee weddings and receptions after an intimate ceremony, with evening tacos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and loaded nachos.
Weddings in a place like Elson often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A food truck by the marquee suits that kind of day. Let us know about gates and ground for the truck or trailer. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
The menu, item by item
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos is easy to share.
Evening tacos
Hot tacos served from the truck or trailer for evening guests, easy to eat standing up.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. In Elson, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening food is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know the timings for the day
