Mexican catering in South Malling
Mexican catering in South Malling, from our food truck or trailer
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. At markets and community events and charity and school events, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls.
There may be a hall or club near South Malling if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In South Malling, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
