Mexican catering in Monkhams
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Mexican catering in Monkhams, served fresh
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits weddings and evening receptions and retirement and leaving parties.
Events in Monkhams are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Tell us about the route in. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

FAQs for Monkhams
Could you serve our guests after a service at All Saints' Church?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to The Highams Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
What food do you serve?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. See our sample menu.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Permission from the venue or landowner
As a London location, Monkhams is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
