Mexican catering for your event in North Ockendon
Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. For retirement and leaving parties and charity and school events, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a London neighbourhood like North Ockendon, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. Like all of Greater London, North Ockendon is inside the ULEZ. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for North Ockendon
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Where would you park in North Ockendon?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can you serve in bad weather?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Can we add a bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
How much does Mexican catering cost in North Ockendon?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Organising a club, school or community event in North Ockendon? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of food and drinks
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What power and water the site has
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Mexican catering or something else?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
