Questions from Covent Garden
What about parking in Covent Garden?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What’s the nearest station to Covent Garden for guests?
Covent Garden has its own station: London Charing Cross station.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
How our Mexican catering works in Covent Garden
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Covent Garden: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there is safe access. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits retirement and leaving parties and garden get-togethers.
In Covent Garden, events range from courtyards to hired halls. Tell us how close we can park, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Should I do it myself?

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

A quesadilla is an easy favourite, and they go down well with children.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

- Plates, napkins and cutlery

- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A picture of where we’d park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Where the event is
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Mexican catering or something else?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. 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. Every event gets its own quote.
