Mexican catering in Harlesden, from our truck or trailer
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It suits leaving dos and retirement parties and summer garden parties, with burrito bowls, tacos and quesadillas.
In Harlesden, 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. Tell us about the route in. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

How we price Mexican catering
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Food, drinks or both
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
- Parking and the route in
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and rough timings
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
London streets around Harlesden 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Taco catering in Harlesden: local tips

Harlesden is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Harlesden to London (about 7 miles away).
A gathering in Roundwood Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Guests leaving a church like Church of All Souls after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings.
