Mexican catering for Ripley events
Mexican catering in Ripley, from our food truck or trailer
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and tacos, and it’s a good fit for anniversaries and engagements and family gatherings and christenings.
Somewhere as small as Ripley, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

DIY taco night versus 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 larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
