Wedding Mexican catering near South Down
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Wedding Mexican catering in South Down, from our truck or trailer
Add our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free choices for drivers and children. Licensing is checked with you and the venue first. At sharing-style wedding meals and garden and marquee weddings, we will put together a menu of evening tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls and more.
Near South Down, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a food truck comes into its own: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Include suppliers who need feeding
The truck or trailer can be placed where guests can see it.
Nachos to share work well later in the evening.
FAQs for South Down
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like South Down?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
What if the timings change?
It happens at most weddings. Food is served to order, so we can start when you’re ready.
Can you do the wedding breakfast and evening food?
Yes. We can do a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos for the evening.
Do you work with our venue?
Of course. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings, power and water.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch

How we price wedding Mexican catering
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
- The number of people
- How long we’re needed on site
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and rough timings
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, item by item

Hot tacos served from the truck or trailer, easy to eat standing up.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Organising a club, school or community event in South Down? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Comparing your options
Evening food is often pizza or bacon rolls. Evening tacos are something different, and they’re just as easy to eat. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Service planned around your numbers
- Quoted for your event
- Allergen information for every dish
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Late-September weddings in South Down see the sun go down at about 7:10pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. In late May it stays light until about 8:55pm.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
