Mexican catering in Canonbury
Mexican catering in Canonbury, from our food truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It works well for company summer parties and big birthday celebrations, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Around Canonbury, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. Like all of Greater London, Canonbury is inside the ULEZ. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What affects the price in Canonbury
These are the factors that matter most:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- What’s on the menu
- Guest numbers
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Canonbury
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Where would you park in Canonbury?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

About the menu
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite, and they go down well with children.
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole, and guests add as much as they like.
Where the truck can go in Canonbury
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
In Canonbury, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
