Mexican catering for Hornsey events
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Mexican catering for your event in Hornsey
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. It suits festivals, fairs and markets and christenings and family parties, with tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
In Hornsey, 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Winter evenings in Hornsey close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Find out what power and water are available
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Your questions about Mexican catering in Hornsey
What about parking in Hornsey?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is it possible to have you in Priory 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.
Do you cover Hornsey?
We do. We serve at events in Hornsey and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
