Wedding Mexican catering for Standford events
Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Standford
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Guests build their own plates from warm tortillas, fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. At garden and marquee weddings and engagement parties at home, we can serve fresh guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and burrito bowls and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Standford, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Plan a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
The truck or trailer can be placed where guests can see it, which makes a good photo.
Quesadillas suit younger guests.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Comparing your options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian and vegan guests. Tacos cover them with separate fillings. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests

The process

Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
