Mexican catering for your event in Lordswood
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. For office lunches and team days and weddings and evening receptions, we will put together a menu of burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos and more.
In and around Lordswood, gardens and local halls are common choices. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

- A menu agreed with you
- We cover Lordswood and the whole of Southampton
