Mexican catering near West Reading
How our Mexican catering works in West Reading
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and christenings and family parties, serving burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls.
A place like West Reading may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Mexican catering or something else?

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
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.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Can you cater for special diets?

Can I do a taco night myself?
