Mexican catering near Forest Hill
Mexican catering in Forest Hill, served fresh
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. It works well for fairs and festivals and weddings, day or evening, serving burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In Forest Hill, 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 photo of the access. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Forest Hill
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Peckham Rye?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What about parking in Forest Hill?
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.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
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.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you cater in Forest Hill?
Yes, we do. Forest Hill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Forest Hill?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we are serving
- Travel, parking and access
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What power and water the site has
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your menu ideas
Send us the date, your venue or SE23 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Where the truck can go in Forest Hill
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
London streets around Forest Hill 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
The menu, item by item
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole, and guests add as much as they like.
