We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you cater for special diets?

Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
In New Eltham, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What Mexican catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests we are serving
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
- The menu you choose
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
The process
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In New Eltham, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Share the running order, including any speeches
