About our corporate Mexican catering in Barking
We agree each menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. Popular choices include burrito bowls, nachos to share and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits team days and away days and winter staff parties.
Around Barking, office events tend to use courtyards, forecourts and car parks. Facilities teams normally need to approve a food truck, and loading needs planning. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan where the truck or trailer will park
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask staff about diets in advance
We keep our serving area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Nachos to share for receptions and launches.
How it compares
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. A truck serving hot food is an event in itself. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Service planned around your numbers
- A clear quote
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Barking, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where people queue.
- Tell us the date, the site, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu and a quote, and check what paperwork your venue asks for.
- We arrange arrival times and access with your facilities team.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve at the agreed time.
- After service, we clear our area and leave it tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Could you serve in Mayesbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.

We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What we need at the venue

- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
