About our Mexican catering in East Village
Planning taco catering for an event in East Village? Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. It suits charity and school events and staff parties and office lunches, serving loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls.
Events in East Village 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. Tell us about the route in. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
In East Village, 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’ll advise.

The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. In East Village, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Common questions in East Village
What’s the nearest station to East Village for guests?
Guests can use Stratford International station, which is right in East Village.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Eleutherius?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
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. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.

How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
