Mexican catering near Mottingham
Mexican catering in Mottingham, served fresh
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. For summer garden parties and family celebrations, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
In Mottingham, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. 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. Send us a photo of the access. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.

Common questions in Mottingham
Can you cater a reception after a service at Jubilee International 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’ll check the access.
Could you serve in Chinbrook Meadows?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you come to Mottingham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Mottingham. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:

- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
Mottingham is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

Planning help
Perfect for your event in Mottingham
You don’t need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Family gatherings and christenings
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Fundraisers and school events
When the service is at a church such as Jubilee International Church, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
What to look for in a quote
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- The wet-weather plan
- What the price includes, item by item
- The deposit and payment dates
