Mexican catering in Botley, from our truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. On the menu are burritos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for festivals, fairs and markets and engagement celebrations.
There may be a hall or club near Botley if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Prices and what affects them

- Whether you need disposables
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Timings and hours
- Food, drinks or both
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
