Planning taco catering for an event in Lower Holloway? Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. We serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for school fairs and fundraisers and retirement and leaving parties.
In Lower Holloway, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well.

We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

FAQs for Lower Holloway
Is it possible to have you in St Mary Magdalene Gardens?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What about parking in Lower Holloway?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll check it works. We also need room for a queue.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space for guests to queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
Lower Holloway is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.

- Tacos
- Burrito bowls

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Why choose Mexican catering in Lower Holloway?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.

For event organisers in Lower Holloway
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December event in Lower Holloway will be in the dark from 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.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
