Mexican catering near Dagenham Dock
Mexican catering in Dagenham Dock, from our food truck or trailer
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for leaving parties and milestone birthdays, serving a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In Dagenham Dock, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Send us a picture of the access. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.

What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- What power and water the site has
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- How we drive in and where we can park
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
As a London location, Dagenham Dock is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Dagenham Dock: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Martin's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is parking a problem for events in Dagenham Dock?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you serve drinks as well?
Yes. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll check the licensing with you.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area.
