Mexican catering in Hornchurch
Mexican catering in Hornchurch, from our truck or trailer
Need taco catering in Hornchurch? A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It works well for christenings and family parties and school fairs and fundraisers, serving tacos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In Hornchurch, 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 photo of the access. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

FAQs for Hornchurch
Which station should guests use for Hornchurch?
Guests can use Emerson Park station, about 0.7 miles north of Hornchurch.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to St. Andrew's 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’ll send what they need from us.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.

How we price Mexican catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Serving staff
- The menu you choose
- Timings and hours
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Your menu ideas
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Count children separately
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hornchurch? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
In Hornchurch, 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.
On the menu in Hornchurch
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Loaded nachos
