Corporate Mexican catering for your work event in Poplar
Corporate events need fast, inclusive food that gets people chatting. Tacos, burritos and bowls from our truck or trailer tick every box. It suits charity and fundraising days and launches and open days, with tacos, burrito bowls and burritos.
London work events in Poplar often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about building access, height barriers and loading bays, and whether a parking suspension is needed. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Poplar questions
Where would you park in Poplar?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is it possible to have you in Bartlett Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
