Common Questions About Mexican Food Truck Catering

Everything you need to know about booking Mexican food trucks in Houston.

What's the difference between Mexican and Tex-Mex food trucks?

Burrito bars, taco stations, and fajita setups are top choices for corporate events. Taconmadre and Tila's Tacos both report high demand for customizable stations where guests build their own meals.

How much does Mexican food truck catering cost in Houston?

Most Mexican food trucks charge $12-18 per person for full meals including sides and drinks. Premium options with specialty meats or extensive menus may run $20-25. We'll provide specific quotes based on your guest count and menu preferences.

Can Mexican food trucks accommodate gluten-free guests?

Yes. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, and many traditional Mexican dishes avoid wheat flour. Let us know your requirements and we'll match you with trucks that can accommodate gluten-free needs safely.

How far in advance should I book a Mexican food truck?

Book 2-4 weeks ahead for most events. Cinco de Mayo and holiday seasons fill up quickly—plan 6-8 weeks in advance for peak periods.

Most trucks serve the entire Houston metro including downtown, Energy Corridor, Galleria, Sugar Land, Katy, and The Woodlands. Travel fees may apply for distant locations.
