About this vendor

Wedding? ... Rehearsal Dinner? ... Welcome Party? ... we've got you covered!

TRAIL BREAK is a restaurant and wedding catering business based in Quechee, Vermont headed in to our 8th year of operations. Our TWO taco trailers offer up the PERFECT value-based blend between food trucks (with their fun, unique, interactive qualities) and high end caterers (which present an extensive level of service options paired with a knowledgeable planning team). Having catered parties for 20, 200 and even up to 600+, we understand how factors like budget, menu variety and timing ultimately create a wildly successful catering experience that our clients end up feeling ecstatic about.

Throughout the 2024 catering season, we were fortunate enough to provide food truck catering for over 80 events! Our crew is well versed in off-site food and beverage service and we look forward to providing guidance based on the specific needs and expectations of each couple with the goal of ensuring that every guest continues to rave about the food (and service) for WEEKS after your party! (see our reviews for plenty of examples!)

TRAIL BREAK offers unique, fresh and fun food to cater to a myriad of dietary restrictions and tastes. Menus are fully customizeable and our 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.

Know any other food trucks that offer passed apps along with a stationed spread of chips and dips? Charred shishito peppers, house made guac, crispy fried maple-sambal duck wings and chili-dusted 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 all types of venues from barns, to fields, to state parks to private homes! Draft beers (which you can help choose) and big-batch cocktails like our watermelon margarita, 'beach bum' rum punch or boozy guava lemonade are popular choices for couples seeking a one-stop shop for their food AND bar needs. Our consumption-based pricing model creates an affordable way for party planners to offer a fun (and EFFICIENT) bar without feeling they are paying an unnecessary amount for drinks that might never get consumed. Sick of watching the bartenders sweat it out as the line stacks up beyond the horizon? We have bar offerings (and service strategies) to get through the initial post-ceremony rush ensuring your guests get back to the mingling (and of course, EATING) quickly!

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 avocado-ranch summer salad!

TRAIL BREAK presents a casual, yet efficiently executed alternative to traditional catering. We are STOKED to see where the upcoming season takes our 'mobile taco ops' throughout VERMONT and NEW HAMPSHIRE. Sabrina (your local 'taco travel agent') looks forward to hearing from YOU as you embark on your party planning process!

AMAZING Food and Even Better People

Trail Break did a KILLER job with our wedding. Our guests have continuously raved about the food throughout our wedding and in the days and weeks since. They will become the hot topic of conversation with your friends and family if you hire them! Everything was delicious, they were quick with food service and the line never got too long. All of the staff was professional, but also laid back and fun and it made for such a great atmosphere at our reception. Their catering menu has tons of options to customize your reception for any palate, and they have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options as well to suit anyone's dietary needs.

They were also great to work with during the planning and prep phases, drafting multiple quotes for us so we could get a sense for what was available to us. They're very accommodating with drink selections as well, allowing you to choose specifically what will be on tap at your wedding! We felt very confident hiring them for our wedding because of all the experience and expertise they brought to the planning process. They even helped us find our venue! That's not a service they provide, but they're just really nice people, and so great to work with.

We had such a blast with Trail Break, and could not more highly recommend them!!!

The absolute BEST

We hired Trail Break to cater our wedding recently and we are beyond obsessed with the food and the service. From the very first informational call, to the tasting, to the wedding day, everything was professional, timely, and amazing. Not only do they have the BEST food out there, but it is evident how dedicated they are to providing the best service too. The owner, Topher, is super friendly and down to earth and clearly has a heart for this. Sabrina, the head caterer, is phenomenal at her job and made sure we did not have to worry about one thing on the wedding day. We got so so many compliments on the food from our guests. They have a ton of options and allow you to build your own menu for the day. We did their '2.5 tacos per person' quantity option and there was plentyyyy of food and enough to enjoy leftovers too -which they let you keep everything!! Lastly, the prices were VERY affordable and reasonable (especially compared to many of the other quotes we received from different vendors). We would highly recommend Trail Break and will be sure to use them again if we ever are throwing a catered event. 100000/10 stars. Phenomenal.

Great Experience!

We couldn’t have been happier with Trail Break! From start to finish, they were wonderful to work with—communicative, professional, and genuinely kind. They were incredibly accommodating of our vegetarian dietary needs, which meant a lot to us and our guests, and the food was a huge hit all around. On the day of the event, everything ran seamlessly. They arrived on time, brought all plates, utensils, and staff, and handled everything so smoothly that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It made the event feel relaxed and fun, exactly what we were hoping for. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for delicious food and a stress-free catering experience.

Outstanding!

Trail Break catered our wedding this summer and we couldn't have been more pleased! The food was amazing, Topher was super easy to work with and very responsive, Sabrina coordinated everything perfectly, and the price was extremely reasonable. Everyone was well fed, I loved that it was easy to customize the tacos for our guests with dietary restrictions, service was fast, and there were lots of leftovers. We've gotten tons of compliments on the food since the wedding (several people have literally told us that Trail Break's tacos were the best they've ever had), and the mocktails were a hit (it was nice for our guests who don't drink to have an NA option that was fun and yummy, and other people liked mixing liquor into the mocktail). I truly couldn't recommend Trail Break more, the service, food, and price is outstanding. Their brick-and-mortar restaurant is obviously just as good and there's a fun mini golf course next door, we can't wait to visit in the summer!!

Food that was an highlight of our wedding reception!

We had Trail Break Taps + Tacos cater our wedding reception and had the most amazing experience! Not only was everyone so easy to work with, but Topher and Sabrina took the time to answer all of our questions and helped us create the best menu and bar offerings for our guests.
The day of, they offered phenomenal service to our guests, were extremely helpful and flexible to deal with rainy weather, and helped our guests have an amazing experience.
We had three appetizers, four types of tacos and two sides on offer (everyone was RAVING about the street corn), and a huge range of NA and alcoholic beverages. The food was absolutely delicious. We couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience and will recommend Trail Break to anyone!!

The best food truck!

Could not speak more highly of Trail Break Taps & Tacos! Had them cater our wedding on August 23, 2025 with their taco food truck. Their staff was friendly and accommodating. They served all 150 of our guests within an hour and all of our guests complimented the food. Quite literally the best wedding food ever. Everyone had plenty to eat and there were plenty of options to choose from. If you’re looking for a food truck for your wedding, I highly recommend them! We taste tested at their restaurant location prior and everything was amazing. Thanks Topher, Sabrina, & team!

The Best Catering We Could Imagine

These guys made our wedding vendor dreams come true! We knew from before we started mapping out our wedding that we wanted a taco truck, and we figured it would not be an easy task to get one of such quality to come out to the boonies of Vermont. But Trail Break did, and they made the whole process so easy! We were completely floored during our first tasting with them, at just how good every single item on their menu is. We locked it in immediately from there, and never looked back. The fact that they can be your food and drink provider, all in one, is huge. And it’s just all so good, with so many flexible options for drinks from batch cocktails to single serve cans - they really work with you to match what you’re looking for. And then on site, I can’t say enough good things about how flexible and chill they were. Loved the service, loved the aesthetic, loved the food, loved hanging on to all the leftovers for guests to snack on and enjoy later in the night. Truly the best!!

Tacos, Margartias, and you're all set!

Trailbreak was amazing. Fantastic margaritas, delicious appetizers and THE BEST tacos. They were great to work with, very accommodating, super professional, and the servers were friendly. I have a lot of foodie friends, and they were impressed.
Reasonably priced, you get a bang for your buck.

Wedding Preview

Trail Break will be catering my daughter’s wedding next June and I am feeling very excited and confident about a great outcome after meeting Topher and doing a tasting at his Quechee restaurant.

When I first reached out to Topher to inquire about his catering services, he responded promptly with a phone call and patiently answered all of my questions, provided a sample menu and contract, and gave tips and suggestions on ways to make the whole food truck experience run smoothly. He also offered to do a tasting menu for the bride and groom when they were in the area. We took him up on his offer and couldn’t have been more pleased.

All of the food and drinks were delicious, the service was fantastic, and Topher’s input, suggestions, answers to our questions, etc. put everyone at ease. My daughter and her fiance left Trail Break very excited about the food and the experience Trail Break will be able to offer for their wedding!
