Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Count children separately
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Lisson Grove, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- 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.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

What Mexican catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
In Lisson Grove, 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Lisson Grove
Which station should guests use for Lisson Grove?
Guests can use London Marylebone station, which is right in Lisson Grove.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Community Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
