Mexican catering in Merton, served fresh
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Merton and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, wherever we can get in safely. It works well for leaving dos and retirement parties and family gatherings and christenings, with a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Merton come in all shapes. Let us know where the truck or trailer can stop, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
London streets around Merton can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

Why choose Mexican catering in Merton?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
Why book with us
- Events in Merton and across Greater London

Common questions in Merton
We’re having a ceremony at St John The Divine: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Merton for guests?
Haydons Road station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Do you cater in Merton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Merton. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A December event in Merton will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Count children separately
- Put any allergies in writing for us
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
