Mexican catering in Hackney Marshes, served fresh
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and burritos, which works well for fairs and festivals and weddings, day or evening.
In Hackney Marshes, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Send us a picture of the access. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Hackney Marshes: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Risen Christ and All Souls?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Hackney Marshes for guests?
Guests can use Lea Bridge station, about 0.7 miles north-west of Hackney Marshes.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Yes. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. Daylight in Hackney Marshes runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.

- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice for your event in Hackney Marshes. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

What’s on the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with tortillas kept warm. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
In Hackney Marshes, 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
