Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. At wedding breakfasts and evening food and family celebrations, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos and more.
Around Hackney Central, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote.

Questions from Hackney Central
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Haggerston Park?
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 will send what they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Hackney Central?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
What do you serve?
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.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Popular choices
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Where the truck can go in Hackney Central
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
In Hackney Central, 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Hackney Central
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests we’re serving
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A December event in Hackney Central will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.

- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
