How our Mexican catering works in Goodmayes
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. At family gatherings and christenings and weddings, day or evening, we can serve burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas for your guests.
From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Goodmayes come in all shapes. Tell us how close we can park, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Goodmayes: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
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. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Goodmayes for guests?
Guests can use Goodmayes station, which is right in Goodmayes.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Goodmayes?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Allergen information for every dish
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Access, space and power checked in advance

What Mexican catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Space for guests to queue
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
As a London location, Goodmayes is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we offer
- Burritos
- Tacos
- Quesadillas
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls
- Build-your-own taco bar
Step by step

A December event in Goodmayes will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.

- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
