DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Mixed diets are easier with a Mexican wedding menu: there are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, corn tortillas for gluten-free guests and allergen information for every dish. At relaxed wedding breakfasts and big weddings with every diet, we will put together a menu of fresh guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Swaythling
Do you cater at coastal events near Swaythling?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Riverside Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Is Mexican street food too casual for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What if the photos overrun?
Tell us and we will adjust. We stay in touch with your coordinator and serve when you’re ready.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
