Mexican catering in Kennington, served fresh
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. We serve burritos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, which works well for staff parties and office lunches and fundraisers and school events.
In and around Kennington, gardens and local halls are common choices. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure.

- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.

Why choose Mexican catering in Kennington?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- A menu agreed with you
- Allergen-aware menus
- Book food, drinks or both
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

Kennington questions
Is Kennington close to London?
It is about 48 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
