About This Vendor

Mobile Taco (and bar) Ops plus a whole lotta plaid

TRAIL BREAK taps + tacos is a restaurant and wedding catering business based in White River Junction, Vermont. Their fun, unique and vibrant restaurant expanded in the spring of 2018 to feature a plaid-wrapped taco trailer complete with four draft beer lines and the ability to venture all over the state to cater in some truly epic locals! The TRAIL BREAK taps + tacos team catered 11 rehearsal dinners and weddings during the 2019 wedding season and is looking forward to being a key, reliable, component to even more great events in 2020 and beyond. TRAIL BREAK offers everything from menu planning and guidance to full service catering and bar service and looks forward to providing additional information based on the specific needs and expectations of each couple! Grub: TRAIL BREAK offers unique, fresh and fun food to cater to a myriad of dietary restrictions and tastes. Their menus are fully customizeable and, with all food made on site to order, their ability to handle modifications to fit every guests' needs creates a stress-free menu planning experience for couples excited to try something out of the ordinary. Charred shishito peppers, house made serrano guac, and spiced grilled watermelon are all great ways to set the tone during cocktail hour. Speaking of cocktail hour, TRAIL BREAK is fully licensed in the state of Vermont to serve beer, wine and cocktails at any venue you are hosting your epic party at! Four draft lines (which you chose the kegs for) are available on the trailer and fun, big-batch cocktails like guava margaritas, the 'beach bum' rum punch or Silo Maple mole old fashions are popular choices for couples seeking bar services alongside their catered meal. When it comes time for the main course, tacos are front and center! Grilled fish, carne asada, slow roasted carnitas and black bean tacos are among the favorites that are made to order while each guest helps themselves to exciting sides like grilled street corn, sweet potato hash and jalapeno-cheddar cornbread! TRAIL BREAK's menu and service will provide a fresh, easy-going alternative to traditional catering at a lower price point than what couples have been previously exposed to. They are excited to seeing where the upcoming season takes their 'mobile taco ops' and look forward to hearing from excited couples as they embark on the important party planning process!

Hire TRAIL BREAK to cater your wedding!! We are sooo glad we did! The food was amazing and Topher was great to work with. They do food and bar for less than other caterers we looked at. We were initially skeptical about having a food truck v. a...
traditional plated dinner but Topher talked us through all our concerns and we are so glad we went this route. Do not give your guests dry chicken and steamed vegetables - give them yummy yummy tacos and spicy watermelon margaritas! We wanted our wedding to be fun and it was and we owe a big thank you to Topher and his team <3

n during the staffing shortage of 2021, he always made time for us to make sure we were happy. On the wedding day TRAIL BREAK couldn’t have been better. The food was incredible - and there was a ton of it! Our guests were pleased with the food served and we had tasty leftovers for days! I had many guests say they’d be visiting the TRAIL BREAK restaurant after having it at our wedding. As a couple who are vegetarian/gluten-free, this is a great, inclusive, and delicious caterer for people who have dietary restrictions. The taco trailer made a great conversation piece and was a fun way to get people moving and active. The staff were friendly; always with a smile on their face! We have no regrets hiring TRAIL BREAK to cater our wedding. Topher and his team did an incredible job and had a huge part in making our special day so special! To anyone curious or unsure if TRAIL BREAK is the right fit - try the food! You’ll be hooked just like we were/are! Thank you Topher and the TRAIL BREAK team!

aking sure the service style fit our venue and our needs. Usually, guests order from the food truck, but due to the layout of our venue, we asked for a buffet and they made it work. The food was INCREDBILE. I think our DJ said it was the best wedding food he's ever had. It was so fun to be able to have a casual meal for our wedding, and the drinks were amazing as well. The staff was super polite and top notch and extremely helpful. I'd 100% recommend TRAILBREAK for your wedding if you're looking for something fun and unique instead of boring catering.

hank you for your review and for your extremely positive recommendation to others who might be looking for an awesome food truck experience for their upcoming event. We're STOKED to hear that your DJ thought it was the best wedding food they had experienced, that says a LOT! We also wanted to thank you for the patience with long communication delays during the months/weeks leading up to the event date as we (like the rest of the industry) were struggling with staffing challenges and working our best to keep everything prioritized as much as we were able. Thank you for having us be a part of your HUGE day!

orth and he'd answer my dozens of random questions so quickly. He was super flexible with extending the hours from a 4 hour block to 6, all the employees working the reception were extremely fun, professional and helpful. THE FOOD --- insanely amazing. I'm not even joking when I say that every single guest raved about the freaking tacos. Seriously the best tacos I've ever had! It was also so so much easier having one catering company provide food and beverage rather than juggling two different places. They provided ALL the compostable plates, silverware and cups - made for a much easier clean up. Everyone loved going up to the truck and ordering their meal also, especially the kids! The price was extremely reasonable too, and they give you allllll the extra delicious food left over at the end of the night too. Bottom line - Trailbreak made it so easy for us, I promise you will not regret going with them. Besides, who doesn't love tacos and beer?

I was dealing with potential rain threat all day and the team somehow still made truck service happen. I cannot thank them enough. Topher and his team are top notch. They are professional, and their customer service is what sets them apart from the more “traditional,” catering services. Pull the trigger and hire the truck for your wedding- you won’t regret it.

TRAIL BREAK started as an idea to bring something that was lacking around the Upper Valley: a fun, vibrant hangout spot that happens to serve some of the best scratch made food around. My focus has always been on the overall experience of dining at a restaurant - not just what's on the plate - and this has naturally extended into our taco trailer business. We are a crew that clearly has fun at events (we'd have to given that we roll up with a giant, bright, plaid wrapped trailer) and focuses on quality. We have been ALL over VT and beyond during our 150+ events and look forward to the next one
