Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Why choose Mexican catering in Barnsbury?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll go through the licensing with you before the day.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Where the truck can go in Barnsbury
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Space for guests to queue
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
As a London location, Barnsbury is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
