About our Mexican catering in Coombe
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. Popular choices include quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos, and it suits christenings and family parties and company summer parties.
Events in Coombe are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Send us a photo of the access. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Mexican catering or something else?
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- Allergen-aware menus
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Menus chosen with you
- We cover Coombe and the whole of Greater London
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Coombe until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.

Coombe: venues, access and local tips
Coombe is about 1 mile east of Croydon, in Greater London. For Mexican catering in Coombe, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Coombe. We cater in all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Coombe to London (about 9 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Addington Palace (1.3 miles east) and Kingswood House (4.7 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early.

Common questions in Coombe
We’re having a ceremony at Church Hall United Reformed Church Of St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
Is parking a problem for events in Coombe?
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.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
London streets around Coombe 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
