Is Mexican catering right for your event?
With a barbecue, someone normally ends up stuck at the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our truck or trailer. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Fast service, even with a queue

Questions from Headington Quarry
Could you serve our guests after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Bury Knowle 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.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
