- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Service planned around your numbers

Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December event in Tilehurst will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Where the truck can go in Tilehurst
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:

- Some distance from houses and neighbours

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
