Mexican catering for your event in Merton Abbey
Planning taco catering for an event in Merton Abbey? Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple.

Around Merton Abbey, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. Like all of Greater London, Merton Abbey is inside the ULEZ. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

About the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Merton Abbey, 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’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you are done, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
