Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, so guests can check before they order.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Why choose Mexican catering in Barbican Estate?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Questions from Barbican Estate
Which station should guests use for Barbican Estate?
Guests can use Moorgate station, which is right in Barbican Estate.
We’re having a ceremony at St Giles-without-Cripplegate: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will check the licensing with you before the day.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
London streets around Barbican Estate can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
