Mexican catering in Downe, served fresh
Keep it simple or go further: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. On the menu are quesadillas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it suits birthday parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Events in Downe are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Send us a photo of the access. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
London streets around Downe 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Count children separately
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Why choose Mexican catering in Downe?
Mixed diets are easy to plan for, since everyone picks their own fillings and toppings. Vegetarian and vegan guests get a proper meal, not an afterthought.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Garden get-togethers
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Engagement celebrations
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
Before you pencil in South Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
Questions to ask before you book
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- The deadline for final numbers
- When payment is due

Questions from Downe
Where would you park in Downe?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. A December event in Downe will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
